Get matched with top basement remodelers in Effingham, KS

"overall good. All these guys worked very hard to get it done. When hiring a waterproofing company to waterproof a basement I would expect the company to fix any water issues coming into the basement that was uncovered during the process. When we tore sheetrock off the basement wall in one corner we seen a water issue letting water to come in to the bedroom. One guy told us that it was above his pay grade. We had to go thru 2 different handymen before we got it resolved. Again you all advertise waterproofing basements with a lifetime warranty. Other than that your people worked hard to complete our job so please let them know. Thanks."

"They were very fast and did an excellent job. I will hire Alpha Dog again for other jobs. This was a tree removal."

"Unfortunately, it was not just one thing we did lots of work in the basement new toilet new pipes and plumbing new kitchen sink , replaced trunk line from ceiling to floor, replace water shut off valve for main structure. The degree of professionalism was beyond anything I anticipated , detail oriented : )"

"<p>He has done a custom-built closet, which turned out beautiful. He also has completely gutted and remodeled a downstairs bathroom. It turned out beautiful. We bought our hot tub from him when he was in the hot tub business. We have had the hot tub for 16 years. He does very good work and is pretty knowledgeable, but one has to have patience with him because he gets off in different directions sometimes. I put up with it because I like what he does. Some people might be a little bugged because sometimes he says he will be back tomorrow, but then doesn't show up until several days later.  The only issue I have with him is his timeliness. He is working on my deck right now. He is repairing where I have a 100-year-old tree that grew and put a hole in the deck and buckled it up. We are just getting started on that project. For us he has done carpentry, plumbing -- he installed all the toilets and did all the plumbing work. He is also a licensed electrician so he has done electrical work and you name it -- deck work. He is kind of a jack of all trades. Right now I know he is working on someone's basement, supporting steel beams and all that stuff. That is why he has not finished my deck work because he is busy with the basement. He also put in our garbage disposal for us. That guy has done so much I can't remember everything. I have been dealing with him, probably, 20 years plus. On the fence his cost was about $3,000 and the materials were the other $3,000. He will save people money because he has the customer buy the materials after he tells them what he needs. He takes no markup in the materials. He even went with me when I  bought the materials for the fence. He only charges you for his labor. I have several other project for him to do including putting on a garage roof. </p>"

"Installation of the walk-in shower unit required the following: <br> <br>1. Removed old bathtub and fixtures/plumbing. <br>2. Construct two new walls--framing, drywall, mudding,sanding, painting, trimming, etc. <br>3. installed new plumbing. <br>4. installed new walk-in shower unit with new controls and multi spray shower head, plus new curtain rod and grab bar. <br>5. Clean-up--vacuum dust and debris. <br>"

"We had reached a point where our master bathroom couldn't be used--the shower tile was falling apart, the toilet was leaking, we could see water damage to exterior of house was spreading, and the door from the bedroom to small deck wouldn't close. We gave up using our toilet/shower area and were instead sharing the main bathroom with two teenagers.  Our job was more about "repair" than the fun of "remodeling."  <br /> We contacted Ethos, and we couldn't ask for a better contractor than David Gurwell.  He was honest, easygoing and always kept our budget in mind. He offered suggestions to save money (i.e., repairing toilet vs replacing), and we relied on David's opinion of products and businesses to help us make decisions about materials.  We wanted to make sure we were using quality products at a price we could afford.  David was also very patient with us, as we don't have much in the way of decorating skills (I once repainted a bathroom 3 times before I got to a color I liked).  We discussed tile vs Onyx for the shower, and while I like the look of tile, I really liked the idea of Onyx walls with only a couple seams (we have trouble with mold/mildew).  Had never heard of Onyx before, so appreciated David going over pros/cons.  We were originally going to use Onyx for the sink countertop too, but when I told David I just wasn't sure about it after seeing the displays at Home Depot & Lowe's, he helped us compare our other options.  We ended up with a high-grade granite remnant from Top Master (one of David's contacts).  We didn't spend much over what the Onyx would have cost, and we're very happy with the look of the granite.  <br /> We felt comfortable with David, his son Ben and Ben's assistant being in our home.  They were always on time, kept the work area neat and were nice to our dog Ava (she's a noisemaker!).  They kept us informed on the status of the project at the end of the day and what to expect next.  They were considerate of our crazy schedules and flexible with their hours.  <br /> It's wonderful to have our master bathroom back, and now that we have a great contractor, we're ready to tackle a few more projects on the "repair" list.  We've already asked David to come back! <br /> Kathy & Don Finks <br /> <br />"

"Went very well. It has taken care of the problem of cleaning leaves and dirt out of gutters annually."
