"I hired Ask Michael, LLC to replace the ceiling tile in our basement. Their work was timely, of high-quality, and came in on budget. I would recommend using Ask Michael, LLC and will likely use them for future projects."

"Great company to work with! I had been given recommendations not to go with the other local company so I went with B-Dry instead. They were easy to work with and even though the job I had done was expensive the price seemed very fair plus a warranty to back it up. They did an excellent job and even cleaned up afterwards. I did have an issue after the install but they got it taken care with no hassle. Never thought my basement would be usable for anything till now exempt collecting rain water."

"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!"

"These guys are <strong> GREAT!!  -  p</strong>rompt, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, good humored and tidy - They gave me an estimate on the work, showed up when scheduled (with the necessary equipment and materials), did the work, cleaned up, and charged me the agreed price.  What a concept!!  Scraping and sanding the basement walls was a really dirty job and they cleaned up so well that if it wasn't for the finished job I wouldn't have known they had been there.   They even hauled off some additional trash!   I will definitely use them again and will enthusiastically recommend them to all my friends.  <br />"

"Steve completed a total remodel of our main bathroom. Everything was replaced down to the studs. When the walls were opened up, Steve found out that the electrical work had not been done correctly when our house was built and was a fire hazard. Steve completely rewired the electrical to bring everything within code. Steve is professional, easy to work with, and truly cares about getting the job done the right way. We love the finished product and will definitely use Around the Home again in the future. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Sherman, 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.
