"We had our basement remodeled. Added 3 rooms and a bathroom. Dan and his Team did a great job. I would definitely hire them again for future home improvement projects. They finished within the estimated time frame and Dan made sure our needs were taken care of."

"Troy and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. We needed our existing shower and tile removed and replaced with a tub and new tile. The process was amazingly painless - despite some issues with our plumbing - which they handled on the spot without missing a beat. We were amazed at how quickly the job was completed, and let me tell you, it is BEAUTIFUL. I don't think I have ever been this happy with remodeling work done in my home. We already are planning to remodel our upstairs bathroom, and are looking forward to working with Troy and his team again!"

"Quality work with a lifetime guarantee on no cracks and a dry basement. I originally had a problem with the way an employee explained the warranty to me. She indicated that it was void because I had not contacted the company within 30 of my brother's death. However, a spokesperson from the company today told me that that was incorrect information. They are restoring the lifetime warranty in my name at no charge. I am pleased with how they handled my complaint."

"Great, we were initially told it would be later this fall before the work could be completed but due to a cancellation they were able to fit us right in. The work was top notch and made a noticeable difference in the house. The employees were professional, friendly and answered any questions we had. Mr. Townsend met with us before, during and after the work was complete. We would like to look at finishing the basement and waterproofing in the future and will definitely call them to do the work. <br />"

"Hats off to John Rathburn from S.F. Pauli Builders and the team he put together to completely remodel our Master Bath. Great to work with, he always kept us informed on the next step and was quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. The bathroom turned out great and would definitely hire again!"

"Steve did a wonderful job on my bathroom remodel. He listened to my ideas and implemented them perfectly. I love my new bathroom, with the new crown molding and wainscoting. He was timely and got the job done quickly and efficiently and worked within my budget! He has done other work for me in the past including a whole house remodel, and has always been professional, quick, efficient and affordable!"

"We really enjoy our new toolshed. This is not just any old shed in your backyard, this is a shed the size of a small garage. We had a particular set-up that we needed the shed to fit in our yard to accommodate our fenced-in area. Cornerstone was able to create a spec of the new shed to our requests including double-doors and windows. We also requested a pitched roof where we can have additional loft storage. It was amazing the transformation. All was done within a short period of time and the Cornerstone team worked with us all the way. We bid several other construction companies and Cornerstone's bid provided us with more of what we wanted (tear down existing and rebuild new structure) without the huge price-tag others had quoted to "renovate the existing structure". I will definitely use Cornerstone Builders again for my future remodels and builds. Great job, great service, and attention to detail."

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.
