"They installed 5 plates against the wall and attached them to the other side of the driveway where they drilled down. It pulled the wall back up and all is secure and lifetime warranty that is transferable. Happy with results."

"Everything was fantastic!  Mike showed up on time, was very courteous, and left ZERO mess behind.  I wasn't sure what to expect from a chimney cleaning/inspection, but this was the smoothest experience I've had when selling our home.  I would pass his name along for others in need of chimney cleaning!  Thank you!!!!"

"<p>Jamey was upfront about what needed to be done.  He made suggestions and listened to what we wanted him to do. He was punctual and communicated when he would arrive and contacted us if there was a change. He is friendly, flexible and cleans up the work area. He may charge a little more that some but you get what you pay for as the quality of work is excellent.  He makes sure that the work is complete and guarantees his work.</p> <br />"

"They did a superb job with very high quality. Actually we've had a lot of very positive comments on the design of the kitchen; so they did a very nice job on the design. Their cabinetry recommendations were all very well. The quality of the cabinetry and installation was very good. They even came up with solutions to constructions problems that were actually quite clever. Basically it was just finishing touches that made it really high quality work."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Westville, 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.
