"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"We contacted Jeff regarding our master bath remodel after reading excellent reviews on Angie's List and those reviews did not disappoint. We found Jeff to be very meticulous and responsive. He and his son, Max, did an excellent job and their workmanship exceeded our expectations. Jeff was very accommodating with any changes we asked for and they kept the work area very clean. We would definitely recommend Jeff and Max. We look forward to working with them on our next project."

"Andy & his guys with A&M Construction did an amazing job on my bathroom remodel. A complete gut to a personal spa. Installed a 66" wide, deep soaker bathtub! Makes it feel like a spa every time I walk in. In addition replaced the windows & exterior doors. Excellent work, communication, and attention to details, and of course my needs! "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Frankfort, 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.
