"The quality of work is fantastic, and Marek is the best project manager you could ask for. The reason I removed one star is because I believe the quoted contract price, specifically for allowances, can improve. You should expect to add a minimum of $20,000 to your contract price. I also recommend referring to your contract throughout to ensure you aren’t getting an extra charge for something that should be included. Like I said, the quality of work is fantastic, but the up front pricing can improve."

The Lake Forest, IL homeowners’ guide to basement remodels
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.

A basement remodel can often cost as much as adding another room. However, homeowners should consider the usefulness and ROI of a remodel.

The first step toward a cozy finished basement is adding its framing. How much does it cost to frame a basement? Let's break down the numbers.

The cost of installing a wine cellar varies based on square footage, the type of wine cellar or wine cave, materials used, where it is located in the property, and where you live. Use this guide to find how much your wine cellar will cost.

Creating ceilings in a finished basement can make the space more enjoyable, but also introduce some challenges. Understanding all your basement ceiling options is helpful.

Considering converting that unused basement to living space? Learn whether adding a bedroom in the basement adds value and what factors affect your ROI.

If your home’s basement is forgettable, consider turning it into a place you’ll love to showcase instead. Try these cellar renovation ideas at your home.
