Get matched with top basement remodelers in Ovid, MI

"We hired Restoration Plus to do a complete gut and remodel of the kitchen of the 1965 era home we bought. From planning layout to picking out materials, Scott, Ryan, and their crew were knowledgeable and professional. The work crews were polite and friendly. Everything was done in the time promised and done very well. We are very pleased with the work and we couldn't have asked for a better team. I highly recommend this company."

"This was my second project with F and J, and they both went well and were completed as projected.  In order to contain some of the costs, it was my desire to do some of the minor  updates  myself (painting, mirror installation, towelbars, and drawer pulls.  F and J are very detail oriented, and would have done a fine job with these, for anyone not wanting to do it themselves.   Also, I think they offer several "turnkey"  remodels for standard bathroom sizes.    Jack was very flexible, and allowed me to purchase my own cabinets, plumbing fixtures, counter top and shower doors (rather than run it all through his account).  So the job amount shown above does not include these elements, which added about another $3000.  I still saved a bundle over some of my other estimates, and  I'm totally thrilled with the final results!  I was also pleased with the tasteful design suggestions.  Jack really does care about his customers. <br />"

"Excellently.  The only delay was from the weather, we had a really wet spring in Michigan.  But they worked though most of it.  <br /> <br /> We are sitting in a room of the addition that "Jack Built".  It is a beautiful space that far exceeds our expectations.  The detail work is something to behold and we are sure we will enjoy it for many years.  <br /> <br /> Following a bad storm thousands were without power, we were without power for nearly a week.  Jack arrived with a electric generator so he and crew could continue to work.  He discovered our basement flooded , he used the generator to plug in our sump pump to empty the water.  He turned on the dehumidifier  and two fans.  His quick action saved us quite a bit including no obvious mold problems. <br /> <br /> We would very highly recommend Jack Duncan Palmer Builders."

"We were fit into their already busy schedule for an estimate, which I very much appreciated (we are a previous customer).  While Palmer's provided a competitive quote, we opted for another company who could get the work done quicker (and was a bit cheaper) as time of was the essence.  However, that being said, from previous experience I would not of hesitated to use Palmer Construction again as I know they perform outstanding quality work and are very attentive to any questions/concerns. <br />"

"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."

"We hired Esser Builders ii (EBII) to do a large project back in the fall of 2019. We needed our driveway replaced, an outbuilding removed, large concrete steps demolished, a new covered deck entrance replaced on the side of our house, and a small multi-level deck & stairs to our backyard installed. Through the entire process, Esser Builders ii, and their owner Albert, have been wonderful. I cannot recommend highly enough this company and I am confident I will contract with them again for future projects. Here are some major facets of process that I think are valuable for prospective customers to know: 1) Bidding Process: With the exception of EBII, the other bids were vague and did not have a lot of detail – especially regarding what was included/excluded. EBII provided a very detailed bid that carefully laid out the work that would be done, the materials that would be used, and everything was included in the estimate. That is, when they price a project (e.g. a door), they don’t come back to you to ask for more $$ if they run into a problem. This happened on our job and it was worth it. Moreover, when the initial visit occurred, the owner Albert came to do the bid himself. He was knowledgeable and had good ideas about how to improve the project given our budget. No pressure or hard sell was applied. Their prices were somewhat higher than the other bids – but I have no regrets! 2) Communication: Whenever I have had questions about the project, such as the expected timeline, materials, or other details, the main office and/or Albert himself contacted me very quickly – often later the same day – even on weekends. I never once had trouble getting information or answers to my questions. This type of communication is comforting when you are spending a lot of money. 3) Flexibility: Part of our project overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated business shutdowns. EBII’s workers worked within the law to complete our open project since it was unsafe if incomplete (i.e. dangerous drop-offs). They had the proper legal permissions and acted professionally throughout the period. In addition to the COVID-19 issues, EBII was also comfortable adjusting the project after we decided to do something slightly different regarding deck design as well as add a few odds and ends to the work. It was not a problem – they simply modified the bid slightly and added the modifications to the work. Easy-Peasy. 4) Follow-through: With any large project, often you notice a bit of stuff here or there where you think that a small repair is needed, or a detail was missed. It happens. What impressed me with EBII is that they are committed to making sure that their customers are satisfied. They are happy to send people back to your job and make things right. In other words, after they are paid, they still are happy to return free of charge to make sure the work is completed to the customer’s satisfaction. Laudable behavior. 5) Quality: The crews show up when they say they will and respect your property. I found the crew to be professional, courteous, and devoted to their work. Every day the site was cleaned up until the next day of work. Moreover, the products use in the construction and the quality/sturdiness of what is built is top notch. Our old deck was poorly constructed and falling apart. The new deck uses serious 4”x6” post construction in poured concrete with fine attention to detail (i.e., sanding corners so that everything is smooth, etc.). It is a major bummer to pay thousands of dollars for shoddy work – I have had that happen earlier in my life. It is nice to see the opposite with EBII – especially when you know that they stand behind their work long after the end date of the build. All in all, you can’t go wrong with Esser Builders ii. They are competent, professional, fair, honest, and respectful. This was my first experience with Albert & EBII – and I know that I won’t be the last."

"The crew, Logan, Nelson and Alex and project manager Ty arrived at 9:00am. I was told they would arrive between 9-10am. Ty asked to see the area and reviewed rooms where vents were to be placed. Ty and the crew then covered the steps and floor in the basement with plastic. I appreciated Ty asking me if I had a preference on lower or higher placement of the vent at the bottom of the stairs. The crew was very efficient they cleaned up and swept after installation. Ty and the crew were very polite and professional. Ty reviewed how the dehumidifier works and took the time to answer other non related questions I had. Very good experience. <br />"

"Project hit a snag with front porch roof, but Mark Brunette went above and beyond for successful completion, and ensured customer satisfaction. Thanks Mark!"

"Larry showed up promptly, installed the gas line in a difficult to access basement ceiling and cleaned up.  Very professional! <br />"

"The measuring and estimating was done very professionally. The door was very high quality. There was a little confusion on their part whether or not the door had to be special or standard and required multiple people visiting, which slowed things down about 2 weeks, but they got it sorted out and was not a problem, just took a little longer. Installation was excellent, professional. We are very happy with the job and the door especially is very nice. We will definitely be contacting them to look at future projects."
