"Our Highland Park basement remodel included a gym, full bathroom, guest bedroom, and media area. There were a lot of moving parts, but the project was under control from start to finish. The quality of the work shows, especially in the details. It feels like a high-end space, not just a finished basement."

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"Don and his crew did a great job on our bathroom remodel. They were courteous and professional, very detail-oriented. They were always punctual and dependable. They used drop cloths throughout the work areas and cleaned up as the work progressed. Don and his crew provided us with design details that enhanced the final product. As hard as it may seem to believe, the bathroom seems greater in size than the original measurements, even though they remained the same. The price was in keeping with other quotes that we had received. We highly recommend Don's company."

"We hired Rowe Builders to remodel our master bath. Several years ago, we had hired Ryan's company to remodel three other bathrooms in our house. Based on the quality of workmanship, timeliness of completion and all around ease of working with Ryan and his crew, we again enlisted his help. Once again Ryan and his crew did an excellent job on all aspects of the project. We had a couple of concerns with the shower tile (basically a poor design choice on our part) and asked Ryan if we could switch to a different tile. While only a small portion had been completed, Ryan was more than willing to start over. We have had no issues with this current project or with any of the other bathrooms they completed for us. I highly recommend Rowe Builders for your remodeling needs."

"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!"

"Marc and his team at M&E Construction and Renovation were incredibly professional and reliable. They completed two complete bathroom remodels (master and guest bathrooms in a single-family home in Chicago) in a timely and efficient manner. They were extremely communicative, friendly, and honest throughout the entire process, addressing all of our questions and concerns immediately. Overall very smooth experience and both bathrooms turned out fantastic! Would highly recommend Marc and his excellent team (Arsen, Andrew, etc.) and would gladly work with them again! Big thank you to Marc and team for a job very well done!"

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.
