Basement Remodel in Kildeer
Our Basement Remodel service helps you redefine your lower level. We design these spaces to be comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.
What we do
Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, followed by construction documents that include drawings and specifications. Material selections are made for all finishes and fixtures. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned, and we oversee the finishing touches.
Who it suits
This service is ideal for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits older bungalows, mid-century ranches, or newer construction seeking additional living areas. We design basements for various uses, from family rooms to guest suites.

In Kildeer
Homes in Kildeer
Many homes in Kildeer, such as the 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials found in subdivisions like Long Grove Lakes and Meadowood, often feature original oak trim and cabinetry. This frequently leads to requests for Kitchen Design or Full-Home Design to update these spaces. Homes built in the early 2000s in developments like Meadowood Estates might have primary bathrooms with separate, smaller shower and toilet rooms, prompting Bathroom Design projects to create more open layouts. We also see requests for Mudroom designs in homes near Kildeer Countryside Elementary School, where families need better organization for everyday entryways.
What homeowners in Kildeer ask for
Homeowners in Kildeer frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1990s kitchens with original finishes and layouts. Bathroom Design projects are common for 2000s primary bathrooms that feel dated or inefficient. We often address requests for Full-Home Design in two-story homes from the 1980s and 1990s, aiming to refresh multiple living areas. Mudroom projects are also popular in family homes to improve organization.
Basement Remodel work from the studio
Led by Jennifer Peterson from the Chicago studio
About the studio
Two sisters, one studio
Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.
Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
