Basement Remodeling: Frequently asked questions
Can you turn an unfinished basement into usable living space?
Yes. We can help plan family rooms, offices, exercise areas, bathrooms, storage, and other spaces based on the basement’s condition and your intended use.
How much does a basement remodel cost?
The main factors include square footage, ceiling conditions, bathrooms, electrical work, HVAC needs, and finish selections. Photos, measurements, and your desired room list help us prepare a preliminary estimate.
What if my basement has moisture or water problems?
Tell us about leaks, flooding, dampness, or musty odors before planning the finishes. We’ll evaluate the visible conditions and identify whether additional investigation or corrective work is needed before construction.
Can you add a bathroom in my basement?
Often, yes. Feasibility and cost depend on the existing drainage, plumbing access, elevation, ventilation, and local requirements.
Can I add a basement bedroom?
We can evaluate that possibility. A bedroom may require changes involving emergency escape openings, ventilation, ceiling height, and other requirements that must be confirmed for your property.
Can you hide pipes, ducts, and exposed utilities?
We can design around them using soffits, ceiling treatments, and accessible enclosures. Required access to equipment and service points must be preserved.
Will the basement feel like the rest of my home?
That is a key design goal. We can coordinate trim, doors, flooring, lighting, and finishes while accounting for the basement’s moisture conditions and ceiling height.
Do you provide a layout or 3D model?
We offer layout planning, scanning, and modeling when included in the agreed scope. These services can help you evaluate room placement and circulation before construction.
How long does a basement remodel take?
The schedule depends on the size, number of rooms, plumbing additions, inspections, and existing conditions. We’ll provide an estimated timeline after defining the scope.
General project questions
How does the free 24-hour estimate work?
Choose your project type and describe your project in your own words. We’ll build a spec sheet for you to confirm, then send your free preliminary estimate within 24 hours. Add your contact information; photos and approximate measurements are optional. Roofing and exterior requests require your full street address so we can order a satellite measurement report. If essential information is missing, we’ll contact you to clarify the scope. Your estimate is hassle free: no commitment and no repeated sales calls. Estimates are valid for 30 days.
Is my online estimate a final construction price?
The initial estimate is based on the information provided. Final pricing may require a site visit, verified measurements, selections, and a written scope.
Can I book an in-home consultation?
Yes. Use our online scheduling option to choose an available consultation time and discuss your project with our team.
Do you offer financing?
We offer financing options through Acorn Finance, subject to approval and the partner’s current terms. The application link is attached to your estimate; financing applications are available after you receive it.
Is there a fee for scanning, modeling, or design selections?
Design and modeling are complementary services included with an approved remodel project. Independent design and consultation services are billed at an hourly rate or flat fee depending on the scope of the project. Your proposal identifies the services included, and any separate fee, agreement, or construction credit is disclosed before design work begins.
Who handles permits?
We identify permit needs during project planning. Your written agreement specifies responsibility for applications, fees, drawings, inspections, and any required professional services.
What warranty applies to my project?
Our workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, subject to the written terms and exclusions. Your proposal and warranty documents explain the applicable coverage; manufacturer warranties are separate. Ask us to review the coverage for your specific project.
How are changes handled after I approve the project?
Changes are documented in writing with any price and schedule adjustments. We obtain approval before proceeding with additional work.
How are payments scheduled?
Your agreement specifies the deposit, progress payments, and final payment requirements. We review the schedule with you before work begins.
What areas do you serve?
D.A.S. Homes serves Chicagoland, including the south and northwest suburbs, and Northwest Indiana. Share your project location so we can confirm service availability.
