"Joe and his crew did a great job on repairing and painting my Yard Barn. They removed my rotted doors. Completed rebuilt the frame and created new doors which are much sturdier. They replaced a large portion of the back of the Yard Barn which was in need of repair and put a new one in it's place. They completely painted my entire Yard Barn for me and put new strips on my siding that needed replacement. My yard Barn looks even better than it did when it was first built. Joe is very personable and easy to work with as well. Highly recommend them !!"

"JOB WELL DONE! Redstone Builders did an excellent job remodeling my outdated bathroom. Howard, representative and owner, directly supervised my project from start to finish. From overseeing daily progress, on time start, to finally touches to my bathroom! Always professional and on time(this is a sticking point for me. To be a professional in any field, means being on time and on schedule). He was also flexible when I requested a change in my project. It was done quickly and to my satisfaction. I will be hiring Redstone again!"

EXPERIENCED BASEMENT REMODELING**Specializing and perfecting BASEMENT REMODELING for over 30 years!** You can trust in us! Family owned and operated spanning over three generations. We don't use subcontractors on our jobs, and I am personally there to work and oversee each and every job. We have our own licensed electrician and plumber, as well as a specialist in taping and mudding. We Pay Close Attention to Detail We believe that attention to detail and customer service sets us apart from our competition, allowing us to continue focusing on each client as if they were our only customer. We use metal studs in our framing work, and I will be happy to discuss with you why this should be the only framing material you should use in your basement. We recognize that our customers are making an investment in their homes, and it is very important to us that you have a good experience from the beginning to end. Not only professional and quality workmanship, but great customer service too.

"The name “Craftsman” is a stretch. My experience with this company was very disappointing. • The crew was careless — our basement was full of paint, and they didn’t bother laying down sheets to protect our brand-new vinyl floors. • They grabbed tools from our home (like push brooms) without asking and even washed their hands in our kitchen sink. • When asked to lay down a rug to protect the floor, they used a tiny piece that barely covered anything. • They expect prompt payment even while work is still pending. • When I couldn’t leave work for a final walkthrough, the owner showed up, got aggressive, and told my wife and child to go upstairs. Completely unprofessional. • They work very limited hours (roughly 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and don’t accommodate your schedule. • They left all their trash — filled up our garbage cans and left extra bags behind. • Their paint job was sloppy. They sprayed instead of rolling, missed tons of spots, didn’t tape anything, and got paint on outlet covers and other areas. They ended up giving us a $200 credit for the poor quality. • The contract is vague by design — he refers back to it later to say something “isn’t included.” Definitely read the fine print carefully. • Charged us an extra $3,500 for inspection delays, yet still demanded full payment before the inspection was complete. • Constantly asked for cash payments (I only paid by check). • Damaged our shuffleboard table by setting tools on top without asking. • Didn’t install quarter round on the trim and didn’t fill nail holes — just another lazy shortcut. • Claims to have 30 years of experience, but experience doesn’t mean quality or professionalism. David and Mike seem overall respectable, Larry is the issue. • Overall, they rushed through the job, missed small details, and admitted they didn’t think we’d check their work with proper lighting. Summary: Expect shortcuts, poor communication, and lack of respect for your property. Definitely not the level of quality or professionalism you’d expect from someone calling themselves a “craftsman.” Pricing is ok but keep looking as you can probably find a match with much better customer service"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Melrose Park, IL

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
