"The work was expertly done, with incredible attention to detail and an understanding of the kind of modern finishes we wanted. From beginning to end, we were clearly informed about all elements of the remodel and how they would play out. The job was done efficiently, and we were updated on the progress, necessary adjustments, cost-effective solutions, and recommendations that ensured the space was completed beyond our expectations. The carpentry and tile work were incredibly well done. Looking forward to reaching back out for further projects."

"I hired ABC Home Expert to remodel my entire first floor, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out. We spent around $63,000 including materials and cabinets, and the results really transformed our home. The project included remodeling a small guest bathroom and laundry area, replacing all the flooring in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, updating the kitchen cabinets and countertops, and painting the entire kitchen. They also added can lights, which made a big difference in how bright and welcoming the space feels. One thing I really appreciated was the support I received from their team throughout the process. Before starting, they worked on four different design options to make sure we found the perfect fit for our needs and style. They were professional, patient, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. Overall, it was a smooth experience, it took a little more than two months. I am glad it is over and I can enjoy my home. I would definitely recommend ABC Home Expert to anyone planning a home remodel."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"HIRE THESE GUYS!!! Donâ t pay more for big name remodelers. We had a kitchen and master bath remodel as well as putting new flooring in basement and kids bathroom. The quality is exceptional. Johnny and Pablo were the team at our home. Both are very talented craftsmen with a keen focus on detail. No aspect was overlooked or taken for granted. The glass and tile work in our shower was fantastic as was the tile and cabinetry work in the kitchen. The owner, Ed, was terrific to work with and lived up to all our expectations. I canâ t recommend these guys enough. Pricing was right in our budget. Very, very impressed! Will definitely use them again!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Vernon Hills, 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.
