Timeline depends on the scope. A single open-concept room with framing, drywall, and paint typically takes 2–3 weeks. Adding a bathroom, wet bar, or multiple partitioned rooms extends the project to 4–6 weeks. We factor in inspection wait times and provide a realistic day-by-day schedule with every quote.

We offer both options. Our supply-and-install packages include everything from lumber and insulation to flooring and trim — sourced at contractor pricing. If you've already picked out specific finishes at a showroom, we're happy to install what you provide. Either way, we review all specs for compatibility before work begins.

Yes. Basement bathrooms require an ejector pump and below-grade plumbing that most standard contractors skip. We coordinate the full rough-in — ejector pit, drain tie-ins, and supply lines — with a licensed plumber, then frame and finish the complete bathroom on top of it.

In most DuPage and Will County suburbs — including Naperville, Downers Grove, and Bolingbrook — a building permit is required once you add framing, electrical, or plumbing. We check your local municipality's requirements, pull the permit, and schedule all necessary inspections so nothing delays your project.

Most Chicagoland basements have low-hanging HVAC ducts, water heaters, and drain stacks that can't be moved. We frame custom bulkheads and soffits around them, integrating everything into the ceiling and wall design so the finished space looks intentional — not like an afterthought.

Pricing varies by square footage and features. An 800 sq ft open-concept finish with framing, drywall, basic electrical, and paint starts around $8,500. Add LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and trim and you're in the $15,000–$25,000 range. Full buildouts with a bathroom, wet bar, and premium finishes run $35,000 and up. Every project gets an exact written quote — no surprises.
