"We hired Excellent Construction after seeing the basement remodeling work they did for our son. Their work sold us. In addition to kitchen work, we had work done in a bathroom and refaced our fireplace. Once again, they demonstrated pride in their work, attention to detail and great communication. They showed up on time, and left the work site spotless. We are very happy with the quality of work and will definitely keep their contact info for future work. Highly recommend."

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"Gordon’s team did a really good job remodeling my bathroom and my unfinished basement. Their new drywall & flooring installation work great and they did a good job with the plumbing & electrical adjustments I needed done. They cleaned up the mess they made daily and tried to keep the rest of the house clean and dust free. Total cost for both basement & bathroom remodel was $23900. There were some additional remodeling costs that I didn’t budget for initially but Gordon was willing to work with me on making payments for the additional features that were added to the remodel. Overall they are a good company and I’m happy with the work they did."

"Ryan was great and easy to work with. He helped us through the process. The work was very good and the cost was reasonable. Ryan and his crew were very professional and respectful. They were always on time and never felt like they were working on other projects and and never felt like they were falling behind. We love the remodel and everyone that has come over have been super impressed. We would recommend Ryan and his team for your remodel needs."

"We recently had our basement bathroom redone due to water damage from broken water pipes. It was a pleasure working with Angelo and his team who were all very professional and experienced. Angelo was in constant contact and made sure that all work was performed to my satisfaction."

"I could not be happier with the work Matrix Basements did on our basement! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled. They transformed our unfinished space into a beautiful, functional area that our whole family can enjoy. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding every detail was thoughtfully executed. They stayed on schedule and within budget, which was a huge plus. The team was also great at communicating with us throughout the project, ensuring we were informed and comfortable every step of the way. Our new basement has completely exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a remodeler who delivers exceptional results with top-notch service, I highly recommend Matrix Basement Finishing. They truly deserve all five stars!"

"Fernando and his son did an absolutely top notch, excellent, job remodeling our master bath. Not only was the work done professionally and perfectly but also showed up on time, cleaned up daily and produced a very luxury and excellent remodel and in record time! I have worked with many contractors and never give a top rating unless absolutely warranted and I would give F.Z. Tile the best there is. There is not one thing I can even say to do better. Kudos Fernando and Chris!!!! We would highly recommend them!"

"We hired OCP Construction for a couple of projects: Finishing the Basement with a family room, office, bathroom, kitchenette, and laundry room and the second project remodeling the attic. We can not thank enough the company owners, management, and especially their best crew who transformed and made significant changes to our living spaces and our living environment. From the day we met with James and Jay, we felt very confident in our choice of company for our projects. Respectful, polite, professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, hard-working, responsible, dependable, you name any good qualities and all we can apply to OCP construction and their crew who were very punctual and completed all work in the terms it was promised. I will recommend the company to anyone who is looking for great quality and honest services. Thank you very much OCP Construction and we definitely will be using your services again in the future. Thank you for your business!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Round Lake, 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.
