"We thought we needed foundation work. They not only told us that was incorrect. They directed us to a structural engineer who would be able to help us. No charge. Most appreciated."

"After a bit of confusion (due to a previous quote from another technician) regarding our deep crawl space, we and Ayers finally made a joint decision on the best system to use. Gage Pederson, the Foreman, did an outstanding job of explaining what they were going to do, kept us totally informed each step of the way, and repeated everything, along with the warranty at the end of the job. We felt free to ask any questions and Gage replied with confidence and quickly. I can’t say enough about this young man’s professionalism. Ayers needs to keep him long term, and putting him in sales earlier than later. He really knows his stuff. He gave us complete confidence that the trenching and encapsulated system will work! Cody Redman and Andy Best were also on the job and did an outstanding job. All three of these guys worked their tails off, not stopping for long. When they left each day, Gage was sure to say what time they would return the next day. They called each day to say they were on their way, and showed up sooner than their expected arrival. It was a real pleasure getting to know each one of them, and they were excellent representatives for the Ayers company. Congrats to a job well done!"

"Miller Building Company is the most professional remodeling company I have had the pleasure to work with.  I hired Miller Building Company to finish a bathroom update and I had initially hired a 'handyman' to do.  I let the handyman go when the quality of work left much to be desired.  Miller Building Company is very detail oriented and worked with me to finish the job to my satisfaction.  Miller Building was always on time and kept me informed throughout the job.  They take the extra steps needed to get the job done, get it done right, on time and on budget.  They were respectful of my home and took extra care to minimize disruption caused by construction.  Each person I interacted with from Miller Building was polite and professional. <br />"

"The first experience we had with Don was amazing.  He came in and converted out garage in to a step down living room.  His attention to detail was incredible.  The following year Don came in and remodeled our partially finished basement and put in a full bathroom, drop ceiling, and finished off an office.  My family then purchased a couple of cabins on Otsego Lake and we hired Don to gut them and remodel them completely.  From start to finish, you will not find another contractor that is as thorough as he is.  His ability to do just about anything has made him my "go to man" when it comes to remodel projects.  We will be contacting him again in the next couple of months to have him do another addition on our home as this man is an absolute magician when it comes to carpentry!   Nobody else will ever do work for us again and he comes highly recommended to anyone who has ever seen what he has done to our home already. <br />"

"Our builder uses ProBuild for his material.  We live 3 hours away from the area and <br /> stopped by to select our exterior door. <br /> Even though we had our windows, shingles and siding selected with our <br /> builder, Jim Wagner from this ProBuild took the time to go over everything with us while we were <br /> there. <br /> We discovered a few things that had to be checked on with the various <br /> manufacturers, after we left so we had to go back and forth with Jim by <br /> email.  There were several emails and he was very prompt getting back <br /> with us.  What I <br /> liked best was that he made sure we were all on the <br /> same page before he ordered the material.  From past experience, this is <br /> very important. <br /> The framing was also ordered and our builder <br /> uses Jeld-Wen for windows and doors.  We will have to see their framing <br /> material so will have to see that quality.  We have never used Jeld-Wen <br /> so we will have to get back on the quality and cost comparison. <br />"

"Amazing. Rob is professional, quick, gave us options and suggestions. We calked him for an estimate for new doors and flooring and he ended up handling our kitchen remodel. Since this is our summer place, he worked with our insurance adjuster, since we were not able to come up. He is meticulous. Highly recommend. Our work is top notch. <br />"

"The windows are beautiful and the trim that was done was superior.. I feel confident that the problem I had with the roof is finally fixed <br /> and Joe was honest with what the problem was as I was sure it was something other than it was..I would hire Joe to do any work that he was qualified to do . He was also very helpful with an electrical problem I had, and had an electrician over the same day and the problem was quickly resolved, and I must say at a very reasonable price... <br />"

"<p>Very well. I was given an estimate, was called a couple of days before they came to start and the workers were very friendly and polite.. The job was finished promptly and our site was left clean. Nails and old asphalt all cleaned up. The new roof has been good, looks good and is not noisy. I like it.</p> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mackinaw City, MI

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
