"Mighty basement did a great job on my basement remodel. I had company coming in July and Scot Coleman made sure the remodel was completed by my target date. He was supervising the job and did a tremendous job. Scot was very professional but at the same time was attentive to what I wanted. He was great to work with. I would highly recommend Might Basements and bath."

"Salvador and his crew did excellent work in finishing our basement. They installed a beautiful wet bar, cabinets, a full kitchenette, can LED lighting, tiled floor, bathroom and shower. Their dry wall and painting is superb. The luxury vinyl planking floor throughout looks marvelous along with the white base board and trim. Structural, Framing, Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC was all done to code. They took their time and paid attention to all the details as they take great pride in their work. HQP price was fair and reasonable. They also stand behind their work. We are very pleased with our finished basement and I would highly recommend Salvador and his company."

"At the recommendation on Studio 41, we initially contacted Brian at Elevations Remodeling for our complete kitchen remodel project. We had a pleasure of working with Brian, Marcin and Hugo. From the initial meeting to end of the work, the team has shown immense interest in our project and has executed the work on time, within the budget and most importantly to our satisfaction. Brian and his team (Marcin and Hugo) have laid out the plan for remodeling our kitchen and have executed perfectly. Brian is always accommodating to our wishes and always discussed in detail when problem arose. We need to specifically highlight two of Brian's employees Marcin and Hugo who were outstanding in their work. They have listened to our needs and offered their advice and expertise when needed. What is amazing about Brian's employees are, they have nothing but praise for their boss and their positivity translates into doing excellent work. The end product (our new Kichen) is absolutely beautiful. We are very happy with our new remodeled kitchen. If you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable team for any of your new projects and want to execute on time and within the budget, we highly recommend considering Elevations Remodeling team. Sincerely, Raj P and Kavita P Woodridge, IL"

"Jerry remodeled my basement last year before I sold my house. Also painted living room and dining room and replaced light fixture. He and his partner were courteous, hard-working and neat. They did a great job. My house sold in 3 days-I think partly because of the good work Jerry did."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Wheaton, 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.
