Basement Remodel in Mount Prospect
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 Mount Prospect
Homes in Mount Prospect
Many homes in Mount Prospect include 1950s and 1960s ranches in neighborhoods like Forest View, often featuring smaller kitchens that feel closed off from living areas. We often assist with Kitchen Design to open these spaces. In areas like Kensington Place, homeowners frequently have 1970s and 1980s two-story homes with primary bathrooms split into small, separate rooms, which we address with Bathroom Design. We also see many 1920s bungalows near downtown Mount Prospect, where we often provide Color Consultation for original woodwork and plaster walls. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s in subdivisions off Rand Road often have unpainted oak trim that homeowners want to update.
What homeowners in Mount Prospect ask for
Homeowners in Mount Prospect often come to us for Kitchen Design to update their 1950s and 1960s ranch kitchens, frequently involving opening up galley layouts. Bathroom Design is also common, especially for 1970s and 1980s homes where primary bathrooms are reconfigured from two small, separate spaces into one cohesive room. We also regularly provide Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation for Living Space projects in 1990s and 2000s homes, updating finishes and furniture.
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.
