"I contacted High Quality Painting LLC to repaint my fence after severely neglecting it for many years. Most of the paint was already stripped or peeling away, and had been for years, so there was significant damage to the wood as well. They were very confident about identifying the damaged boards and replacing them as well. When they got started, they found quite a few more damaged boards, and ultimately replaced more than what was quoted at no charge. They also recommended I get the fence stained instead of repainted, which is something I had not considered, and am very glad they pointed me in that direction because I think it will help prevent many of the problems I had in the future and be much easier to maintain. The workers were professional and willing to show up on incredibly hot days in between the rainy days to get the work done. I brought up another issue with the gate of the fence rubbing when opened, and that was also fixed at no charge which I appreciated."

"We recently had our 1,400-square-foot basement finished, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a versatile multi-purpose space with two kitchen cabinet areas—and everything was completed beautifully. From start to finish, Scot proved to be an outstanding project manager. Communication was consistent and clear throughout the entire process, which made a big difference in keeping everything on track and stress-free. He was also incredibly efficient, ensuring the project moved forward smoothly without sacrificing quality. His crew was a pleasure to work with—professional, respectful, and clearly skilled in their craft. The attention to detail and precision in their work really stood out, from the finishes to the overall layout and functionality of the space. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented contractor. Our basement turned out even better than we envisioned."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff had done beautiful work at my parents house so I was excited to use him for a kitchen remodel in my first home. He is always friendly, professional, and responsive. He can handle any kind of issue that may arise, such as the need to move an unexpected vent. For our kitchen he tore down a pantry closet and the soffit, installed new flooring, cabinets, backsplash, shelving, range hood, lighting. He has great recommendations and his attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your project!"

"My husband and I met with owner Antonio for an upcoming to be done tub to shower remodel, including our walking floor area, hardware, toilet, etc. He restored our faith in hiring craftsmanship over the big box bathroom remodelers. Most important, Antonio recommends and allows us full control over our choices for product on the shower walls, floor and hardware. We pick out, pay for and supply the product. We do not get boxed into only a handful of choices like other big companies do. Then we let Antonio, the expert in his field to do his work with integrity and pride. From tear down to repair, how to deal with surprises that may come into play, to proper install and finish. From a straight shooting estimate on costs, timeline and how to take care of delays, payment requirements, insured, 1 year warranty on workmanship... call it the old fashion way of getting back to a high work ethic and standard."

"Christopher Baugh was wonderful to work with and worthy of our trust, both practically and creatively. He was ALWAYS responsive to our inquiries, ideas, concerns, etc. Equally important, the crews who spent so much time in our home during the kitchen renovation were pleasant, kind, and generally arrived on time. They took any questions that we might arise to Christopher, receiving answers in a timely manner. During a reno that is important, since they are present for hours every day. Our expected timeline for the renovation was well met and we were always comfortable - as much as possible during a kitchen remodel! - feeling heard and respected. No question was too dumb or redundant and we really appreciated that. As a result we have a beautiful custom kitchen, with cabinets handcrafted by Christopher and I think everyone associated should be proud of their hard work. We can't wait to show it off!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Plainfield, 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.
