The “Two For One” Basement Remodel Special We Didn’t Know Was Coming

Case Study

The Basement We Had To Remodel TWICE
(And Paid Out Of Pocket To Do It)

Sheena & Jason’s Basement Flooded Just DAYS
After We Remodeled It… So We Paid
For The Damages Ourselves.

Many homeowners have that one space in their home they try to forget about. The attic space that takes a full aerobic workout to access. The dinghy spare restroom you never offer to guests. Or, most frequently, the unfinished basement that might as well be filled in with concrete.

Well, for Sheena and Jason, it was their unfinished basement that was giving them the most grief.

Which is understandable! When utilized correctly, a home’s basement is the perfect location for an extra living space like a game room, movie nook, or even an extra bedroom when friends and family come to visit.

On the flip side, an underutilized basement can be a breeding ground for pests, mold, and, of course, countless hours of upkeep — not to mention all that wasted square footage!

So when Sheena and Jason decided it was time to make the most out of their home’s basement, they picked up the phone and called the best in the business — 4Ever Remodeling.


Sheena & Jason’s Basement Needed More Than Simple TLC

We’ve remodeled countless basements as home improvement specialists and have visited even more. So we know what we are saying when we say that Sheena and Jason’s basement was past the point of a “quick sweep and tidying up.”

Let’s take a look at their basement before our technicians got a hold of it:

As you can see clearly, their basement was in no state to host guests or sit down for a relaxing movie night with the family. We knew we had to help!

We Got Straight To Work

After our initial consultation with Sheena and Jason, we got right to work ordering all the materials needed for the project at hand. We picked and prodded Sheena and Jason for all their favorite materials and textures to create a one-of-a-kind living space unique to their preferences.

Better lighting? No Problem!

Refinishing the bathroom? You got it!

Creating a comfortable and cozy environment? Our pleasure!

Every home is as different as the people living inside it, and we always strive to think outside the box to deliver stunning results that the homeowner can enjoy for many years to come. And that includes Sheena and Jason. They had just finished remodeling the rest of the house and just needed the “icing on the cake” — a beautiful basement.



No Project Is Too Big For Our Experienced Professionals

Sheena and Jason reached out to multiple contractors in their area when it came time to remodel their basement, but 4Ever Remodeling was the key outlier. They loved our willingness to take on a project of this magnitude and to meet each of their requirements. Instead of giving blind promises, we went above and beyond.

Let’s hear from Sheena and Jason themselves:

“From project inception to final sign-off, we had a wonderful time working with the entire 4Ever Remodeling team. They were responsive, receptive to our ideas, and clearly communicated throughout the process.”

Clear communication is vital in fostering a healthy relationship, especially when it comes to the crew who is remodeling your beloved home! We always keep our customers in the loop about their project details and make a point to give any pertinent updates ASAP.

In no time at all, Sheena and Jason finally had their dream basement. Take a look at the finished product.

Sheena & John Had Their Perfect Basement.
Then Tragedy Struck

After their basement remodel was 100% complete and passed all final permit inspections, we thought the hard part was over. We couldn’t be more wrong.

Mother Nature had its own plan for Sheena and Jason’s basement. Just a few days later, a massive monsoon came through the Chicago area and wreaked havoc on many homes — including Sheena and Jason’s.

Their brand-new basement completely flooded, ruining the walls and carpentry that were JUST installed. Instead of stressing Sheena and Jason out even more, we got right to work finding a solution.

While we did everything right and upheld our end of the bargain, we just didn’t feel good about charging Sheena and Jason to restore their basement, considering they had already paid us in full, and this wasn’t anyone’s fault.

We took it upon ourselves to replace all of the walls and carpentry in their basement completely free of charge, simply because it was the right thing to do. Sure, we could have gone through the tedious insurance claim process or reached out to the City Of Chicago, which is responsible for improper street drainage that caused the flooding in the first place, we knew the fastest solution for our customer was to bite the bullet and repair the damage ourselves out of pocket.

For us, it was a simple decision-making process — do what’s right for the customer.


“The final product is gorgeous. Definitely would hire again.”
