"We are absolutely thrilled with our kitchen remodel by STLBuildPro! From the initial communication and bid process, though project planning, demo, inspections, installation, etc. they were responsive, professional and extremely dependable. And since any major remodel project typically involves change orders, I’m happy to report that the changes to the initial bid were minimal and absolutely necessary to get to our final vision. We would without hesitation hire STLBuildPro again, and recommend them to everyone!"

"We hired Prolifik for our basement bathroom remodel, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our project manager Jon was professional, respectful, and incredibly skilled. He kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions. We are looking forward to final results after our glass shower doors arrive. This process had exceeded our expectations, and the quality of the work is top tier! We highly recommend Prolifik and plan to use them for future projects!"

"Brian Butler did an excellent job in remodeling our bathroom. The demolition was done in a very tidy and professional manner and the new shower pan and tile were installed within the next two days. The marble vanity top we purchased from a big box store had some problems with the wooden base supporting the marble and Brian reworked the base, making the top fit perfectly on the new vanity. We are over the moon with the remodel. Brian's tile/construction skills and his professional work ethic is top notch. We have already scheduled another renovation project with him."

"We hired LU Design last year to build a bar in our basement. I can't say enough good things about the work they did. They invited us to participate in every step of the process from the design to the final build. We had hoped to finish the bar by New Year's Eve, and they worked tirelessly through the holidays to make that happen. When we spotted a few tiny issues, they came back out and fixed them. We are so happy with the end result, and the bar is a popular spot with our guests! We would hire them again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Livingston, 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.
