Basement Remodeling planned for how Vernon Hills homeowners live.
Vernon Hills is a newer suburb, and its subdivision homes came with more open, modern layouts than the older towns nearby, which carries straight down into the basement. Homeowners here are usually updating for style and space rather than fighting a hundred-year-old foundation, and the lower level is where they make room to entertain.
That ambition tends to center on a wet bar. The trick to one that earns daily use is committing to the plumbing early, roughing in the drain, supply, and vent before the slab and walls lock the layout, then sizing the counter, cabinets, and appliance circuits for how the room actually fills up. The bar’s location is one of the few basement choices you truly can’t revise later, so we settle it up front.
Because these houses already lean clean and contemporary, the finished basement can match that look without compromise, an open entertaining floor with a bar at its center that feels of a piece with the rest of the home rather than a dated afterthought tucked downstairs.

Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 — full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start — and because we use our own in-house crew, we don't lose days waiting on a subcontractor to show up.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes — every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project — we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough — not before.
