A Better Starting Point for Basement Remodeling
Near River Grove Village Hall, basements around The Grove often need practical planning around comfort, storage, lighting, and accessible mechanical equipment.
Planning should account for what can be verified before work starts and what may only be confirmed once existing surfaces are opened.
We review the project as a whole, not just as a room, because changes to layout, electrical, plumbing, surfaces, and access often overlap.

Featured Basement Upgrade
Basement Egress Window Installation
Project Summary
A basement window was upgraded from a small existing opening into a larger egress-style window to improve safety, natural light, and usability in the finished basement area.
Challenges
The existing window opening was only approximately 12" x 36", and the new opening required cutting into the foundation to accommodate a larger 24" x 48" window. The original drainage setup was not usable, which created a risk of future water intrusion around the new window well.
Solutions
The opening was carefully enlarged and structurally reinforced to support the new window installation. A new drainage line was added and tied into the drain tile system to help move water away from the window well and protect the basement from moisture issues.
Results
The finished installation added a larger basement window with improved emergency access, more natural light, and better long-term drainage performance. The upgraded window also helped make the basement feel more open and comfortable for future entertainment space use.
Project Investment
$7,000-$10,000
Final Investment depends on site conditions, selections, and scope.
