Basement Remodeling
They did a wonderful job, from first contact to the last time they walked out of the house. I had them finish about 1/3 of my unfinished basement into a completely finished room.
Jolanta was engaging, detailed and professional in the original visit to see the scope of what I wanted done. She asked good questions and provided some good suggestions. She had a quote back to me within a few days that was detailed and helped me understand exactly what I was paying for.
The work crew were all polite, respectful of my family and of my house. They cleaned after themselves each day. The work took about two weeks to complete and it seemed that they stayed on task every hour of each day. They obviously, to my untrained eye, knew what they were doing and took pride in their work.
The result is amazing and I am very happy! I HIGHLY recommend Excellent Remodeling! They truly are EXCELLENT!!!!

We had a lovely experience working with Excellent Remodelind. Jolanta was always responsive and worked around our schedules throughout the whole process. Wojtek thought of everything along the way to ensure we got the basement we wanted. His work ethic and professionalism was second to none. We could not recommend them enough.

Our basement had an odd layout and we were not sure how we could make it a livable space. We also had a realistic budget as we are both working individuals with a family, trying to expand our home, within our personal means. Jolanta and her entire crew over exceeded our expectations. Every detail was completed meticulously. Everyone worked so hard and was so kind. We made modifications as the project progressed as we could see new visions and we were able to have input. It was a great partnership and the quality of the work is beyond our expectations. Highly recommend. Of note, I found Excellent remodeling on Angie’s list after receiving multiple bids I was not comfortable with and almost gave up on the project. Jolanta came out right away and her ideas, comfort level made me trust her. I am so thankful and could not have made a better decision. Thank you.

Jolanta and crew did an outstanding job on our remodeled basement project. She was professional and knows her trade. She was open, honest, resolved all issues and has fair pricing. The crew was on time every day, worked hard and answered all questions. And there results show in our beautiful space. I highly recommend Jolanta and Excellent Remodeling LTD. The company's name is shown in their work, Excellent.

The team is outstanding. Tell them what you want, get your bid, let them bring your dreams to a reality. Jolanta and Wojcich are great people to know and to work with. They are very respectful and extremely efficient. From 7:30am to 5pm, nonstop work. They clean after their work area daily. 5 weeks total. They will also help with bulk removal (extra price) if you ask. I have a rental property I own and when I’m ready to remodel that, Excellent Remodeling will be my only call.

Jolanta and her crew were excellent! This is truly a great company that cares about their clients. Their top most priority is customer satifaction. The whole process was clearly explained. Everything was completed in a timely matter. The crew cleaned up everyday. My wife works from home and they worked around her schedule when there needed to he "quiet time". I am so happy that I had my basement finished by Jolanta. My wife is already talking about getting the rest of the house renovated by Jolanta.

I hired Excellent Construction over 8 years ago for a basement remodel and was more than happy with their work, cleanliness and price. It was a no brainer to call Jolanta and have them do work on my new house. Again I was very impressed with this company from start to finish! You will not find a project manager as accessible as Jolanta period! I called her for a quote and she came a few hours later on the same day! The workers are very friendly, hard working, clean and highly skilled! I love their attention to detail as Iâ m a perfectionist. Wojtek and Robert are amazing carpenters. My basement and bathroom are absolutely beautiful! I HIGHLY recommend this company for any remodeling needs! You wonâ t be disappointed in any step of the process! I would give them 6 stars if it was possible!!!

The quality of work cannot be explained by words. Our basement went from cement and studs to a beautiful, usable space for our family to enjoy. Work was done on time, with no disruption to our day-to-day and no surprise hidden expenses. This was the largest, yet most stress free project weâ ve done.

We hired Excellent Construction after seeing the basement remodeling work they did for our son. Their work sold us. In addition to kitchen work, we had work done in a bathroom and refaced our fireplace. Once again, they demonstrated pride in their work, attention to detail and great communication. They showed up on time, and left the work site spotless. We are very happy with the quality of work and will definitely keep their contact info for future work. Highly recommend.

A pleasure to work with, showed up on time daily, very professional, cleaned up after themselves every day. On budget, and I got exactly what I was promised and paid for. My dad was a carpenter and construction foreman, and I worked with him for 8 years so I'm familiar with contractors and workers, I have NEVER seen better workmanship. I would highly recommend this company very time.
