"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Stunning Refinish – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the way our hardwood floors turned out! We had some old, torn-up floors that honestly looked like they were beyond saving—but the transformation is unbelievable. After the refinishing, they look like brand new floors, absolutely gorgeous, with a smooth, rich finish that completely elevates the look of our home. Not only was the quality of the work exceptional, but the price was also more than fair—especially considering the results. On top of that, they were incredibly professional: they showed up 15 minutes early, ready to work, and clearly take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find that kind of reliability and craftsmanship these days. If you're thinking about getting your hardwood floors redone, do it—and call these folks. I can't recommend them enough!"

"Remodel went extremely well even with material delays (not ordered through Rowe construction.) They were able to pivot and work on different areas of this extensive remodel. This crew showed up every day and notified us if they were not going to come or if they were delayed.They also pointed out and/or were able to troubleshoot areas of design that wouldn’t look aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they cleaned up the interior each day and regularly picked up construction waste placed in the garage during this process."

I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you AP!"

"I hired CZ Services to build my new 700 sq.ft. Garage with a full second floor storage area. We have an 1893 Victorian farmhouse and wanted the garage to match our existing home. CZ Services did an amazing job, from working with our architect to getting all the permits and working with the electrician and plumber and concrete guys to give us our garagmahol! We couldn’t be happier with all the work that was performed. We also had them install a new 20x22 deck to replace our 40 year old cedar deck that was there from previous owners. They also did all the landscape surrounding the area incorporating our existing plants into the new landscape. Highly recommend this family owned and run business. Chris, Kelli, CJ and Jonathan are all great people to work with!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Union, 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.
