"Workers on time. Did not finish first day due to rain second day they did not arrive until late after another job to seamed hurried. They were careful not to cause a mass inside but I had a day's cleanup in the basement. Works pleasant."

"The work was well done, but took excessively long to finish, due to delay getting the doors needed to complete the product from the supplier.  What was supposed to be a 5 week project took more than 3 months.   Sutton did make a modest reduction in the price, due to the delay.  They also tried to get the same from the supplier, but were not able to. <br />"

"These guys are <strong> GREAT!!  -  p</strong>rompt, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, good humored and tidy - They gave me an estimate on the work, showed up when scheduled (with the necessary equipment and materials), did the work, cleaned up, and charged me the agreed price.  What a concept!!  Scraping and sanding the basement walls was a really dirty job and they cleaned up so well that if it wasn't for the finished job I wouldn't have known they had been there.   They even hauled off some additional trash!   I will definitely use them again and will enthusiastically recommend them to all my friends.  <br />"

"The owner is self-employed who specializes in home repair and remodeling. The replacement of a the basement door was the third project done over a two year period. Previous projects in 2013 included installing ceiling fans, installing wood laminate flooring and baseboards in the master bedroom, and installing new base trim and installing a new staircase handrail. All baseboards and base trim were painted. <br /> In 2014, the current project required 12 hours to remove a deteriorating door frame and to make a new door frame to secure a new standard 6 panel steel door to fit into a non-standard opening. The project included adding vinyl trim and foam insulation. Everything was cleaned up following the work. <br />"

"They have done a number of things over the last several years. They installed new windows. They took a wall and put in new dry wall. They put in all new doors in the house. The price was fairly high but the work was good. They do good work and if there are any issues they follow up immediately. We had a few issues with the windows and they responded immediately. They were here when they said they were going to be here."

"I recently was in the market for new windows on my house. I went to a couple of places to compare products and prices. Erie by far was the most helpful in the process. They had a representative come to my house and show me exactly what I was getting. They reviewed every option I had as well as the pricing options for the windows. The price was very comparable to the other places that I looked. I chose to go with Erie. Them being local was also a benefit. The representative also informed me that they would be able to get all of the windows installed in the same day. This did not seem like it would happen to me. Come January Erie came before the day that they projected to be there. A team of 2 men showed up at my house and said they were there for the windows. I did not believe that 2 guys would be able to install the almost 20 windows in one day. But they started working and to my surprise, every window was installed in my house, That night my house kept the highest temperature all night since I have lived there. The nihgt before the windows were installed my house hit a low temp of 56 degrees despite my furnace being set at 65 and running all night. The night I had the new windows my house was able to stay at 65 degrees, despite it being under 10 degrees outside. The next day Erie returned and finished up the windows on the outside of the house. They had to enclose the windows and then they put trim on the windows inside. Both nights after the men were done working they cleaned up after themselves very well. They had a vacuum and when a window was finished being installed the 2nd guy cleaned up. You would have not known how much debris there was because of how quickly they cleaned everything up. Erie was very quick and efficient while doing the install on my house I was very pleased with the final project and I would recommend Erie to do windows on my family members houses. The quality was also very good. My house looks 10 times better both inside and out. I am also happy with the fact that my house can now keep heat in and I do not have the concern of waking up to a very cold house. Erie was excellent."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New Berlin, 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.
