Basement Remodel

Reclaim square footage with waterproofed, egress-compliant finished basements — media rooms, in-law suites, gyms.

Starting at $45,000Typical timeline 8–18 weeks

Our approach

Chicago basements are a square-footage goldmine — if they're dry. We waterproof first, finish second. Typical scope: egress windows, sump pump, insulation, finished walls, ceiling, and flooring chosen for below-grade humidity.

A finished basement that floods is worse than one that's never finished. Before drywall we install a perimeter drain tile, sump pump with battery backup, and closed-cell spray foam on the walls. Only then do we frame. Egress windows are added to any space being used as a bedroom — it's code and it's safer.

What's included

  • Waterproofing

    Interior drain tile, sump pump with battery backup, and vapor barrier before finishes.

  • Egress windows

    Full-size egress wells cut and installed for any basement bedroom.

  • Mold-resistant materials

    Paperless drywall, sealed concrete or LVP flooring, closed-cell insulation.

  • HVAC balancing

    Supply and return ducts sized for below-grade space — not just a run extended from above.
