Coordinating Basement Remodeling From Scope to Finish
Closer to Woodfield Mall, basement planning near Lexington Fields should account for storage, comfort, lighting, and the mechanical systems already in place.
Planning should account for what can be verified before work starts and what may only be confirmed once existing surfaces are opened.
The goal is to create usable lower-level space without ignoring the conditions that make basements different from the rest of the home.

Featured Basement Improvement
Egress Window Upgrade for a More Usable Basement
Project Summary
A small basement window was upgraded into a larger egress-style installation, creating a safer, brighter, and more practical lower-level space.
Challenges
The existing opening was undersized at roughly 12" x 36", and the project required expanding it to 24" x 48" by cutting into the foundation. In addition, the original drainage setup around the window well was unusable and needed to be corrected to reduce the risk of water intrusion.
Solutions
The new opening was carefully cut, reinforced, and prepared for the larger window installation. A dedicated drainage line was then added and tied into the drain tile system to improve water control around the window well.
Results
The finished window upgrade improved basement safety, increased natural light, and added long-term drainage performance. The space now feels more comfortable and better positioned for everyday use or future entertaining.
