Basement Finishing Project: Glenview, IL
The Challenge: An Unfinished Basement
The original lower level of this Glenview home was an unfinished space with exposed wood framing and concrete walls. It was used primarily for storage and needed a complete build-out to become a comfortable part of the home. The homeowners wanted to add a functional wet bar for entertaining and a clean, modern guest bathroom.
The Solution: A Practical, Finished Living Space
Maya Construction Group, led by owners Udi Yeger and Ofer Gliksman, completed a full renovation to turn the raw space into a finished suite. We handled all phases of the project, including framing, electrical work, plumbing, and tiling. By using a simple color palette of gray cabinetry and white stone, we made the basement feel much brighter and more integrated with the rest of the house.
