"I hired ABC Home Expert to remodel my entire first floor, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out. We spent around $63,000 including materials and cabinets, and the results really transformed our home. The project included remodeling a small guest bathroom and laundry area, replacing all the flooring in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, updating the kitchen cabinets and countertops, and painting the entire kitchen. They also added can lights, which made a big difference in how bright and welcoming the space feels. One thing I really appreciated was the support I received from their team throughout the process. Before starting, they worked on four different design options to make sure we found the perfect fit for our needs and style. They were professional, patient, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. Overall, it was a smooth experience, it took a little more than two months. I am glad it is over and I can enjoy my home. I would definitely recommend ABC Home Expert to anyone planning a home remodel."

"Marcin and the guys at Elevations did a great job with my kitchen remodel. We did a partial remodel and they were able to come up with great solutions to our list of things needed. During the same time of the kitchen, we were impressed enough with their work and attention to detail, that we hired them to install our dining room/family room flooring. A+ effort and quality!"

"M&E took down a non-load bearing wall between the dining room and the living room giving us an open space living. We are very happy with their work. The guys came every day until the work is complete. They also cleaned up at the end and haul all the construction debris away. Marc and his team did a great job giving us a new living space that we love and enjoy everyday. I do recommend M&E for your remodeling projects. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kenilworth, IL

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
