"Our tiny (and only) bathroom was a mess. We knew it needed a major overhaul. I put out an online inquiry for bathroom remodels and Troy Crilly from Bath Time contacted me almost immediately. We arranged a time for him to meet with us and evaluate the bathroom. Working with Troy was wonderful from the get-go. He really listened to us and what we were hoping for. He offered up some ideas and together we got a plan. Long story short, we now have a beautiful new bathroom. Troy's crew was prompt, professional, neat and very efficient. Any questions we had, Troy was responsive to calls or texts. So, if you're looking to remodel your bathroom, I highly recommend Bath Time. They are wonderful to work with."

"The remodel went great. Joe and his crew were friendly and prompt. They did the work in a timely fashion and were very good at communicating about the project. They did an amazing job transforming our bathroom. They replaced a vanity, walls, put in a tub and tiled. They also laid vinyl flooring and installed lights. We were impressed and thrilled with how quickly they worked and with the finished project. We would hire them again for another renovation. Please check them out."

"We hired Oak Ridge Construction to remodel a home in Morton Illinois while we were living in Minnesota. They listened closely to what we wanted the house to be. Ana sent design samples to our home in Minnesota and worked out all of the final details VIA virtual meetings. They were able to complete the demolition before we left Minnesota and finished the job while we lived in the basement for the next 6 weeks. The job was completed to our 100% satisfaction. Mike's attention to detail was phenomenal! Ana's design was perfect! We are so happy with the final results and intend to use them again for another project next summer. I highly recommend Oak Ridge Construction!"

"Overall, it went well. The project took about 7 weeks. John, the contractor explained that he would provide me with an estimate of the material needed and I was to pay the supplier and he would arrange for the delivery of the material. In this case Home Depot priced the  material and I paid Home Depot and received a detailed receipt. This system worked just fine for me. Deliveries were on time. JMJ Builders staff was always on time (Most of the time they were parked before 8am and came to the door at 8am.) They were personable and very polite. An important point is that John would virtually every evening after work would inform me  of the progress, any problems and the plan for the next days. I did not have a detailed blueprint, but described what I wanted and he would communicate with me to ensure we were still on track. The job was completed by Nov 12 except for a few minor details which he returned to complete by Dec 1.I would not hesitate to refer John to potential customers. I certainly plan to call him next year I may need to do some additional work on the first floor. By the way not only was the staff prompt but they seemed to always be working. John was not at the project every day all day, but he did come by and spent time virtually every day.
His staff seemed to be very competent.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Peoria, 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.
