"JACK AND MOSES INSTALLED NEW KITCHEN WINDOWS FOR ME AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB! THE NEW WINDOWS ARE GIVE MY KITCHEN AN UPGRADED LOOK AND REALLY OPENED UP THE ROOM. i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK PLUS THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE I CAN OPEN THE DOUBLE SLIDING WINDOWS EASILY AS WELL AS THE SINGLE CRANK WINDOW I ORDERED. JACK AND MOSES WERE PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, AND PATIENTLY ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. IF I DECIDE TO PURCHASE ANY MORE WINDOWS I AM GOING TO REQUEST THEM AS INSTALLERS. THEY WORKED REALLY HARD THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE HERE AND COMPLETED THE JOB FASTER THAN EXPECTED. THE PROJECT MANAGER, CORTEZ WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE AS WELL."

"I contacted B-Dry Solutions in early June, 2024 to install an egress window in my basement. The price was reasonable and they communicated well all throughout the whole process. I received calls from the scheduler at the main office the week prior to installation and she was very helpful giving me an idea of what to expect. The installation team came on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 and completed the entire installation in seven (7) hours. The installation team (Jordan, Matt, Cody-1 and Cody-2) was professional, they knew their job responsibilities, and were efficient with their time. I was extremely pleased with all the work they completed and the end result was a beautiful installation. The inspector came this afternoon and highly commended the finished job. I couldn't be happier with the new egress window and the quality of the work done by B-Dry Solutions. I would use their services again if I had to install another egress window."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Petersburg, 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.
