"Custom Cut did a fantastic, 5-star job on our basement renovation! Jeff and Brian were professional, committed, responsive, and happily accommodated numerous small requests. They paid attention to all the details and communicated well throughout the process. Jeff’s crew are among the best in their trades—hard-working, flexible, and committed to great craftsmanship. I feel like we got a great value too—one fair, upfront price and no nickel-and-diming. Best of all, the end result looks and feels infinitely cozier and cleaner than we had hoped, and our new basement will bless our family and friends for years to come! Thanks to Jeff, Brian, Cory, Bohdan and crew!"

"Our experience with Matrix Basements could not have been any better! They were an amazing company to work with and the end product was better than we imagined. I fully believe this has so much to do with the fact that Matrix is well organized and professional every step of the way. Every single person we worked with throughout the process was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable in providing us input to make our basement remodel come to life. We lucked out with an amazing field manager, Jim Thurek, who guided us every step of the way. He was very attentive to our needs and questions, which was always reflected in his professional and speedy response time. The management skills of this company is definitely unrivaled and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a reliable contractor to finish/remodel their basement."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Montgomery, 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.
