"I would say this is more like 4.5 but better than a 4. We had some initial hiccups and a bunch of miscommunication and dropped balls with our initial Field Manager. I think he was simply overstretched and not able to dedicate the time to the size of our project. Matrix made it right though and got us a new Field Manager named Jim and things went all as smoothly as I could have hoped afterwards. There were still some issues but they were more just part of the process and making sure everything was done right by the end of the project. Jim was amazing and he was on top of things from the moment he took over and, most importantly, he always took ownership and made sure the job got done and that it got done right. Once Jim took over, I felt confident that everything was going to turn out right and the way we had hoped. Most of the contractors were also very friendly, helpful, and had attention to detail overall. "

"If you need a bathroom done, call someone else. We noticed water leaking outside the shower walls. We called. The first fix was them putting dry wall putty into a wet hole without finding the problem. My finger went right through the hole.They randomly half caulked one side of the shower wall panels.Days later, water continues to leak, and we lifted up the flooring to discover the flooring and subfloor had been soaked from the leaking shower. They come back. Cut out the drywall and caulk the entire shower that WAS NEVER CAULKED TO BEGIN WITH, we had to request they do this.Owner stated it wasn't mold, even though it wouldn't come off. Every time we had them come back, it looked worse. After they said they"fixed" everything, they did not replace the trim. Left paint on the floors, a screw from the new drywall is exposed after sanding and painting it and various pant chips. I've never seen a company rush to get a job done in all my life. We had to call them to come back and finish the initial job. We saved for years, YEARS FOR THIS REMODEL, and we SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Never again will I have a contractor come to my home."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Sycamore, 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.
