"This was our first remodeling project of any kind, and we were very nervous to take it on.  Having heard many horror stories, I searched the list before getting any estimates-- but from the first phone call we had a good feeling about John.  He was very easy to work with-- he quickly came out for the estimate and discussed in detail what we wanted out of our kitchen.  A complete gut remodel was not within our budget, but we wanted to make many updates to the kitchen-- John seemed to understand that right away and never pressured us to add to the project or go beyond our intention budget-wise.   The estimate was ready when he said it would be, and he again spent time with us reviewing the plan and answering our questions. 
Throughout the project, he was very good at letting us know his plan for the day, if there were any concerns or issues, and he was also great at calling us back if we had questions.  He was considerate of our time, and was always at our home early and when he said he would be.  The kitchen looks beautiful and we hope to be calling him soon for more projects!"

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"I have been using Andy Nelson for many years, for all of my home repairs and remodeling. He is a first rate master carpenter and a perfectionist when it comes to construction. He is really easy to work with and is fairly priced. We have recommended him to multiple friends and family members and they have equally had good experiences as well.
My mother in law has used Andy Nelson on some major renovations on her home in Oakbrook and she is a tough customer to please, but Andy had exceeded her expectations."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.
