"Peoria tile is great! My basement flooded back early March. After a poor experience with our insurance company and another provider. I randomly reached out to Peoria tile for a quote on basement drywall repair. I requested a quote after 6pm. Surprisingly I had received a text within minutes.(I didnâ t think people worked after 6pm) also I called several local business in Bloomington. I received a fair quote over pictures and videos I sent in that night. The next day Trevor came out and verified the quote. I paid the deposit also to my surprise Trevor was able to start the drywall repair the next day. (Everything is back order?) not for these guys. Trevor communicated daily when he was coming and going. We had a vacation planned so we left our key and Trevor was in and out with no problems. One week from contacting Peoria Tile and carpentry my basement is completed. To give you an idea of our basement itâ s fully finished, full bathroom, and a guest room. One week completion!!! Great price!!! Highly recommend!"

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Pekin, 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.
