Basement Finishing in Romeoville

A Romeoville basement work room or rec room, built from the slab up

A basement you plan to work from needs more planning than paint and carpet. We start by checking the walls and slab for moisture and fixing any drainage or sump issue, then frame with treated bottom plates and insulate the outside walls. The electrical plan matters most here: enough outlets on a dedicated circuit, good light where you sit, and a wire run for internet so you are not relying on a signal through the floor. Drywall, ceilings, flooring, a solid door, trim and paint finish it, and the permits and inspections are on us.

We work in Romeoville every week, coming in off I-55 and Route 53 and working the Weber Road and 135th Street side of town. The Des Plaines River runs along the east side, and if your house sits on the lower ground toward it, we pay close attention to the sump and how often it runs. For a workspace under a kitchen or family room, insulation between the ceiling joists and a solid-core door cut down the footsteps and voices from above. We also locate the panel early, since a new workspace circuit has to start there.

What we include when we finish a Romeoville basement

How a Romeoville basement finish works

We visit, check for moisture, and ask how you will use each room so the wiring plan fits the work you do there. Your written estimate lists the moisture work, framing, electrical and finishes as separate lines. When a hidden condition turns up, we write up the price and you approve it before we touch it. We schedule the crew around the inspection dates and give you the days we will be in the house. At the end you walk the room with us, plug in and flip every switch.
