"We chose Design One to remodel our small galley kitchen after meeting with them and seeing their reviews. Initially, they presented as organized and professional. I wish we had asked more questions upfront. The quality of work was poor, especially drywall and basic carpentry skills. The average time spent was 10 hours/week. When they started work, all needed materials were in, yet it took over 7 weeks to complete. Requests for a schedule were evaded. There is no crew it is Rich, and occasionally Linda to assist. Very poor time management at the customer expense. Their lack of transparency regarding certain paperwork was troubling. What should have been a rewarding project became a large disappointment."

"The job turned out great and my bathroom looks brand new. I hired Freddy and his team at F&F Construction to repair a subfloor where the toilet sits, install toilet, and finally install a DuraLux performance waterproof luxury vinyl floor. The job required them to finish repairing the subfloor which I had done demo on after I replaced the flange due to a leaky toilet. They were able to install complete that job and install the new flooring. They also installed a new vanity, painted the bathroom and also fixed a leak in my shower that wasn't part of the original contract. I considered only giving them 4 stars due to a section of my bathroom where a radiator heater sits, when they installed the tile, they went around the radiator and it didn't seem so clean (pictures included). However, the overall project was great and the price was very reasonable. My bathroom looks great after a well needed makeover. Freddy was timely and punctual, great customer service, and communication was great."

"It went great! The crew that did the work were diligent and professional, polite and courteous, respectable to me personally, to my home. They did a great job of cleaning everything up when the job was done. We had a couple of little kinks. They were taken care of quickly with apologies. The completed new bathroom is even more beautiful than I could have anticipated. Gorden was easy to work with. He explained everything and helped with decisions. He is respected by his crew. I'm completely pleased with the work performed. When I'm ready for another project G.R. Construction Co will get my call. Thanks Gordy and your crew for my beautiful new bathroom."

"I had J Home Construction come in to remodel bathroom tub and surround. They took out the tub and tile and put in a shower base and re-tiled the walls. They were not to relocate the shower handle, but the worker started. They told me it had to be replaced and did so. Unfortunately, they installed it, left a leak and walled up the leak. I found the carpet on the other side of the shower wall wet. I tried twice to have them come back to fix the issue before securing another company to fix the leak. It has been almost a year and this company is not answering mail, calls, or knocks on the door. I advised that I would be taking them to small claims and they are simply avoiding contact. Buyer beware."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Northbrook, 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.
