"We wanted our basement finished and started it ourselves and decided it would be faster to find a professional. Alex responded promptly and quickly to our quote inquiry. Very professional and gave excellent suggestions to make our dream basement. We wanted the basement framed, insulated, drywalled, and mudded, and that's what we got. With reasonable pricing way within our budget and fast work they did a great job. Alex even went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect for us. They even finished the area we started, which they didn't have to do. I highly recommend, would hire again."

"We recently had our 1,000 sq ft basement remodeled, including the addition of a small bar and a new bathroom, and the results are fantastic. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stand out. The bar looks great and is both functional and stylish, and the bathroom was finished beautifully with quality materials. Temo was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. He stayed on schedule, kept the work area clean, and made the whole process stress-free. Our basement has been completely transformed into an inviting, usable space, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!"

"We were above and beyond satisfied with Coopers Construction!  The owner, Josh was very easy to work with and his crew was equally as awesome!  Josh was always available to take phone calls if necessary and was on the worksite daily.  He and his crew showed up on time and worked all day!  The paint job on the outside of the house looks amazing, we have had several compliments on it from neighbors.  Each and every drop of paint (which was not many) was cleaned up and our house was left looking spotless.  Not only did he paint the house he repaired a gutter for us at little more then the cost of materials and even helped the moving crew with a large piece.  Our basement had a flooding issue upon move in as well, Josh really helped us figure out how to work with our insurance company and what steps needed to be taken in order to "fix" the problem.  I would use him a million times over for any type of contract work!"

"We were skeptical going into this project because his quote was 1/2 of the amount quoted by three other contractors.  But since he was our front runner prior to hearing the price we went with our gut and we were not disappointed. Kirt and Shawn were incredible to work with from beginning to end.  He was prompt in responding to any and all questions, made me feel safe even though there were strangers in my home, and really considered how to best execute our project to maximize the space that we had. He stated upfront that we would not have any surprise fees, that what we saw in the quote is what we would get.  He was true to his word.  He used great subcontractors and there were no surprises. He even built my daughter a vanity drawer and didn't charge us entra. Our basement is beautiful and we can't thank him enough. I wish we could give an A++++++

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Leaf-river, 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.
