Basement Remodel in Scottdale
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 Scottdale
Homes in Scottdale
Scottdale features a mix of housing styles, including 1950s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Scottdale Park, often with original galley kitchens that homeowners want to open up to living spaces. Many homes in the Avondale Dunaire area are 1920s bungalows, where we often address smaller bathrooms or create more functional Mudroom spaces. Newer construction, such as the 2000s townhomes near the Scottdale-Decatur border, often benefit from Furnishing & Styling or Color Consultation to personalize their interiors. We also work on 1960s brick ranches in the areas around North Avondale Road, frequently updating Kitchen Design and Bathroom Design.
What homeowners in Scottdale ask for
Homeowners in Scottdale frequently seek Kitchen Design to update their 1950s ranch kitchens, often involving removing walls to create open-concept living. Bathroom Design is also common in 1920s bungalows, where original layouts are often small and dated. We also complete Full-Home Design projects for families moving into 1960s ranches, looking to update all living spaces. Basement Remodel projects are popular for adding functional living areas in homes with unfinished lower levels.
Basement Remodel work from the studio
Led by Jill Kearns from the Atlanta 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.
