I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.

We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.

Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!

Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.

I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏

Common Questions

Ready for Basement Finishing?

Alta brings multiple trades together when the scope calls for it, so plumbing, drywall, electrical, roofing, siding, and construction details can move under one coordinated schedule.

Basement finishing costs in the DuPage County and greater Chicago area typically range from $25 to $60 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the layout, the finishes selected, and whether bathrooms or egress windows are included. Alta provides detailed, written estimates at no cost so you have a clear budget before any commitment.
Yes. Most Illinois municipalities require permits for basement finishing projects that involve new walls, electrical work, plumbing rough-ins, or egress window installation. Alta handles all permit applications and inspection scheduling on your behalf — ensuring the project is fully code-compliant and protects your home's resale value.
A standard basement finishing project — framing through final trim — typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on square footage and scope. Projects that include bathroom additions or significant electrical work may run slightly longer. Alta provides a firm project timeline before work begins and keeps you updated throughout.
Before any finishing work begins, we assess your basement's existing sump pump, drainage tile, and wall conditions. If we identify areas where groundwater accumulation or interior condensation could be a concern, we recommend and install preventive drainage upgrades prior to framing. This protects your finished investment long-term.
Yes — with proper egress window installation, a basement room can be permitted and classified as a legal bedroom in most Illinois municipalities. This typically requires a window opening of a specific minimum size to meet Illinois building code egress requirements. Alta handles the full egress window installation and permits as part of the project.
Absolutely. Alta regularly partners with property management companies and HOAs across DuPage and Cook County for unit-level basement finishing and common-area construction projects. We coordinate directly with property managers and can work within occupancy and scheduling constraints.
