    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deyan and his crew took on our project after some difficulties with a previous contractor.
He was so helpful in sharing details of what needed to be done and communicating clearly with his team and me.
They did a great job finishing our basement, and we are very pleased with how it turned out!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During last January cold weather our pipes froze and we had damage on three levels of the house including drywall, flooring, painting and bathroom issues.   We contracted with IL General Construction to fix everything.  With any contractor you can only get three things.   Those are quality of product/installation, service/reliability and finally, fair price.  Usually you can get two of the three.  With this family owned business we got all three.  They even helped negotiate with our insurance carrier.  There is always the intangible of comfort with your contractor.  By the end of the process both my wife and I were well beyond satisfied with the entire work process.   Suffice it to say that if asked we would only recommend this company to family,  friends and anyone else.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive and did excellent work.  They responded immediately to my request for service, showed up when they said they would and did the job well.  Highly recommend.

Signs Indicating Its Time To Remodel Your Basement

Increased Moisture Or Dampness

If you notice mold, mildew, or a musty smell, your basement may have water issues. Remodeling the basement with proper waterproofing can address these concerns, improving air quality and preventing future damage, creating a safer, healthier environment.

Increased Energy Bills

An inefficient basement with poor insulation can lead to higher energy costs. A basement remodel offers the opportunity to improve energy efficiency by adding insulation, new windows, and energy-efficient lighting, helping you save on monthly utility bills.

Outdated Design

If your basement feels stuck in the past with old carpet, dingy walls, or poor lighting, it’s time for a refresh. A modern basement remodel can give your space a fresh look, adding modern finishes that enhance its functionality and increase property value.

Don’t let your basement sit there collecting dust; give it the upgrade it deserves. Whether you’re interested in creating a functional basement space or enhancing your outdoor areas with Deck Building and Masonry Services, we’re here to help.
