"Oh we can't say enough about Rueben and his crew.. the work was top notch and talk about craftsmanship, there is no comparison.. we were on a budget and they came through and made everything work. We had a sunroom and bath added to our h ome and we just love them. The crew of guys were always very polite and just a great group of young men doing the best job we could of imagined. Ruben was always on top of the job, making sure things were done right. He came every day to check on his crew and asked if we had any concerns. So on that note if you need any construction on your home or business give this company a call, you won't be sorry."

I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.

"Great company to work with! I had been given recommendations not to go with the other local company so I went with B-Dry instead. They were easy to work with and even though the job I had done was expensive the price seemed very fair plus a warranty to back it up. They did an excellent job and even cleaned up afterwards. I did have an issue after the install but they got it taken care with no hassle. Never thought my basement would be usable for anything till now exempt collecting rain water."

"I recently was in the market for new windows on my house. I went to a couple of places to compare products and prices. Erie by far was the most helpful in the process. They had a representative come to my house and show me exactly what I was getting. They reviewed every option I had as well as the pricing options for the windows. The price was very comparable to the other places that I looked. I chose to go with Erie. Them being local was also a benefit. The representative also informed me that they would be able to get all of the windows installed in the same day. This did not seem like it would happen to me. Come January Erie came before the day that they projected to be there. A team of 2 men showed up at my house and said they were there for the windows. I did not believe that 2 guys would be able to install the almost 20 windows in one day. But they started working and to my surprise, every window was installed in my house, That night my house kept the highest temperature all night since I have lived there. The nihgt before the windows were installed my house hit a low temp of 56 degrees despite my furnace being set at 65 and running all night. The night I had the new windows my house was able to stay at 65 degrees, despite it being under 10 degrees outside. The next day Erie returned and finished up the windows on the outside of the house. They had to enclose the windows and then they put trim on the windows inside. Both nights after the men were done working they cleaned up after themselves very well. They had a vacuum and when a window was finished being installed the 2nd guy cleaned up. You would have not known how much debris there was because of how quickly they cleaned everything up. Erie was very quick and efficient while doing the install on my house I was very pleased with the final project and I would recommend Erie to do windows on my family members houses. The quality was also very good. My house looks 10 times better both inside and out. I am also happy with the fact that my house can now keep heat in and I do not have the concern of waking up to a very cold house. Erie was excellent."

"esInitially it started out well but as is typical in this industry, things start to fall off.  He is able to do most phases of construction but prefers trimwork.  The scope of work that we had didn't fit where he wanted to be.  If it was a single job that he was being hired for, I think he would be good.  He did good work but we do a lot of custom stuff and that throws our subs off sometimes.  Super nice guy and I felt that he was trustworthy. <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 />"

"Armored Floors did a great job, floor looks wonderful. Tammy was a pleasure to work with. This is the second time using them, I had my garage done and liked it so much I had them back years later to do my pool house. I would recommend them to friends and and family."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in West-liberty, 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.
