"We had Brandon C, Franklin B and Gabriel W come out and fix our basement wall that was leaning in. They did a great job! Very professional, on time, cleaned up after themselves and did it in one day! Would recommend them to anyone!"

"I needed my plumbing wall insulated before temperatures dropped below freezing. Jake with Mallard General Contracting was very responsive on getting me a quote, communicating through the construction process, and performing the work within the construction schedule. Will without a doubt be using them on future projects. "

"Workers on time. Did not finish first day due to rain second day they did not arrive until late after another job to seamed hurried. They were careful not to cause a mass inside but I had a day's cleanup in the basement. Works pleasant."

"I found Wayne on Angie's List. From the first phone conversation he was friendly but professional. He arrived on time for the walk through, making notes and suggestions as we went. He arrived on time the first day, completely prepared and ready to start work. He worked quickly and professionally, making sure that everything was perfect before moving on. This was a multi day project as there were repairs that had to be done before removing the popcorn and retexturizing. He showed up promptly each day and cleaned up everything before he left each evening. And even though he had to work around furniture, he managed to get everything done exactly as I wanted. <br /> I would hire Wayne again in a heartbeat! He stuck to the budget, did a beautiful job, and when everything was finished we did a final walk through. He said he wasn't finished until I thought it was perfect. <br /> I can't say enough about how pleased I am with his work. Wayne would be the first call I made if I ever need work done. <br />"

"Gary showed up when he said he would and worked very hard each day until the job was finished as quoted. All scrap material was taken away each day and site was left cleaner than when he arrived.  This house was a Victorian built in 1929 and he built the porch as if it looked when built and we could not be more pleased.  Work was outstanding and we recommend him to everyone who ask who did the work. <br />"

"Tony came recommended by my neighbor. I saw his work and I was impressed, clean lines, creative ideas, no mess left behind, great rates, and best of all patient. I have my house on the market and I needed his expertise to pain my foyer which included 2 floors, up the stairs, and the wall going down the stairs to the basement. I was surprised by his quote since it would be a tricky job due to the height and stairs. He accomplished it in 2 days as he promised. He did it himself, as he said. I work from home and he was super respectful and quiet as he worked diligently. He even made an executive decision on one part of the job which I completely agreed to. He is a true professional. I learned Tony also does dry-wall, exterior painting, and other handyman work. He is a bit of jack of all trades."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Tamms, 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.
