How long does a basement remodel take?
Most projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on size, permits, and complexity. You’ll get a full schedule before we start.
Will finishing my basement increase my home's value?
Absolutely. A well-executed basement remodel can significantly boost your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers.
What is the average cost to remodel a basement in the Chicago area?
The cost varies based on size, design complexity, and finishes. On average, homeowners can expect to invest between $30,000 and $100,000. Factors like adding a bathroom or custom features can influence the total cost.
Can I add a bedroom to my basement?
Yes, but building codes require that any bedroom in a basement has an egress window or door for safety. This ensures occupants can exit in emergencies and allows natural light into the space.
How can I ensure my basement stays dry?
Waterproofing is crucial. This can include installing sump pumps, sealing foundation cracks, and ensuring proper drainage around your home’s foundation. Regular maintenance and inspections can prevent moisture issues.
What flooring options are best for basements?
Due to potential moisture, it’s advisable to choose water-resistant flooring like vinyl planks, ceramic tiles, or engineered wood. These materials are durable and suitable for below-grade installations.
