Basement Remodel questions from Columbia homeowners
Does MDR Build do basement remodel in Columbia, IL?+
Yes. Columbia, IL is part of our regular service area — a Monroe County city on Route 3, and roughly 20 miles from our imperial shop from our shop in Imperial, MO. Family rooms, home theaters, gyms, in-law suites and bars.
What does finishing a basement in Columbia involve?+
Framing, egress, insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting and any bath rough-in — with moisture handled first. Many Columbia homes need waterproofing or drainage corrected before finish work starts, and we address that up front rather than covering it with drywall.
Who pulls the permits for basement remodel in Columbia?+
We do. Permit requirements and inspection steps are set by your local Monroe County jurisdiction, and handling them is part of the job — we submit the paperwork, schedule inspections and meet the inspector on site so you are not chasing the Columbia permit office.

Everyday fair pricing — no gimmick promotions or countdown discounts. You get one written number for the scope we agreed on, with allowances spelled out, so the Columbia project you approve is the project you pay for.
Do you use subcontractors on Columbia projects?+
Our own crews carry the core of the work. Licensed specialty trades — electrical, plumbing, mechanical — are brought in where the code requires a licensed installer, and we coordinate and inspect their work.
