Get matched with top basement remodelers in Newton, IA

"I couldn't be happier with the work. Andy was extremely helpful and punctual. I had quite a few estimates on my kitchen remodel and I felt like none of the contractors I talked to were really interested in what I wanted. Andy listened to everything I had to say and delivered. 

Not only was the work completed on time. It was top notch work and under budget. How often does that happen?

I would highly recommend Andy Scott and would definitely use him again in the future.

"He just worked very tirelessly to get permits from city for slope of driveway. It was a lengthy and difficult process and he was the only one to take on this project. The work done was completely really well."

"According to the website, the person we met with is a "Foundation Expert."  Per his advice, we needed about $8000 in beams because the cement blocks showed bowing/cracking.  This house is only 650 sq feet and built in the 1950s.  He basically implied that the walls had extensive damage and the house would never sell unless we put beams up.  He deemed the repairs done by a previous homeowner as very bad and said they needed to be fixed immediately.  The waterproofing system was an additional $3500.
The whole thing seemed more like a sales pitch using the fear factor of a bad foundation.  And, I was put off by the "buy now" price difference.  They would give me a "realtor discount" if I agreed to do the work and pay the deposit right away.  Like I'd ever spend $12K without getting other bids and researching the heck out of it.
We decided to hire a structural engineer that wasn't trying to sell us something to inspect the basement and foundation.  Paying the engineer a couple hundred bucks was worth every penny.  After a full inspection, his professional opinion was that there were no structural issues.  The engineer report states that while the repairs made by the previous homeowner made were "unsightly" they are effective.  Meaning - the method they used was ugly, but the support it provided was effective and adding additional beams was unnecessary. 
I would highly, highly recommend getting a structural engineer before hiring any company to basement repairs.  It saved us about $8000.

"David met with my husband and I to see what our plans were for our basement. He was very patient as both my husband and I had our own ideas still. He gave us options and a rough estimate with in 3 days of our first meeting.  As David and his crew started to reconstruction of our basement some of our needs changed. After the living area was constructed we decided to add a wet bar, which turned out beautiful. The spare bedrooms and extra bathroom turned out amazing. We added a Jacuzzi tub ( that was something I really wanted) and the tile work was detailed and flawless, as was the rest of the laminate flooring they laid. From start to finish we had an excellent experience with David and his crew.  I would highly recommend them for any size project. What we thought we wanted some what changed along the way and he was very patient and accommodating. I definitely feel that the price was fair and we couldn't be happier with our new remodel. Thank you Daughenbaugh Construction."

"The entire project, from initial quote to completion went very smoothly. Tim's professionalism, honesty and integrity were evident before, during and after the sale. Much easier to work with than the other companies we got quotes from. Jan was very helpful making sure we had all the tools we needed to choose the materials we wanted and scheduling. The crew worked tirelessly, completing the job in one day and cleaned up afterwards. Any and all issues were taken care of immediately. We would highly recommend Des Moines Area Roofing and would not hesitate using them again."

"Calvin is professional when you meet with him. He is prompt in returning calls and he kept me informed on all phases of the project. Calvin and his crew are friendly and the work area was always cleaned up at the end of the day. I will definitely hire Bow Hunters Construction again."

"Worked with my budget and used my old materials. They did quality work and replaced only what was needed. Worked around weather and kept in touch for changes in schedule and budget."

"Kevin Goering was very personable and professional. He did a great job of explaining the process and I and two of my neighbors chose his company to do the work. (Let me also state that he is about the only company that I found that offered a timely and reasonable bid.) Now that said, the work took about 2 days. By the time they were finished I had no yard left in that area with 2 large, extremely large, mounds of dirt left where they had back filled the holes they had dug to push through the PVC line. This was expected to a certain degree. It was just much larger than expected. I will say that the work done to run the sump line was excellent, but the digging and backfilling of the holes was lacking. It has been 8 months and I still have one mound that still needs flattening. I have tried everything but driving the car over it to get it down.
