"I recommend Allshire highly and without reservation. Russ, John, and all their crews were professional and we felt comfortable throughout the process. Our bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt (with same footprint) - the end result was fantastic and I believe the value was very high. Just to make others aware - we had a fair amount of back and forth with the inspectors from our township and had several hardware items delivered to our house that were broken so they had to be re-ordered - so job took longer than we (and Allshire) expected. That said, the company has many positive attributes: 1) communication is solid 2) attitude is positive and professional 3) final workmanship very high 4) pricing very reasonable 5) overall demeanor is friendly and flexible which is what we wanted. We will call them again when we get ready to remodel our kitchen. Allshire is a good company because it is made of good people."

"We needed a second garage door specifically for a riding lawn mower and an open window between 2 rooms in the house with a counter under the window, He did a sloppy job on the garage door, installing a USED door, with NO key and we canâ t even fit the mower thru the door, rendering it useless... On the window, he almost cut into a closet, and I had to MAKE him cut the right size window. He put the wrong trim on the window, after I told him twice what I wanted. Now I have a living room with 3 windows with 3 different trims. He was condescending and a bully. I told him to forget the counter, I just wanted him out of my house,"

"Very easy to work with. Listened to what I wanted and kept within budget. Very knowledgeable of the products Trex carries. I talked to several other companies and received bids for the same product. Found out that Decks Unlimited was the subcontractor for one of the big box companies. I have a familiarity with residential construction, and unlike other companies, they didn't try to BS me. Again, unlike others, did not try to up sell me. L Very pleased with their work. They worked well within my HOA constraints. Just had an issue with clean up after the work was done, but I honestly believe it was because of weather, which put them behind schedule on other jobs. Who would have thought we would have rain and snow in the same week that late in the spring? I would highly recommend them."

At our Michigan headquarters, we've developed proprietary materials and designs that make our products more attractive and durable than what our competitors offer. We are so confident in the quality of our products that we back each on with a limited lifetime transferable warranty.
"Outstanding Experience with TEMO – Our Patio Cover is a Dream Come True! We recently had a TEMO cathedral-style patio cover installed, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. The design of the cathedral roof instantly elevated the look of our backyard – it’s both elegant and functional. The vaulted ceiling gives the space an airy, open feel, and it blends beautifully with our home’s architecture. TEMO’s materials are clearly top quality – everything feels sturdy, well-crafted, and built to last. The team that handled the installation was courteous, punctual, and meticulous. They took great care to ensure everything was installed properly and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. Communication was clear throughout the process, and any questions we had were answered quickly and professionally. We’ve already hosted several gatherings under our new patio cover, and guests constantly compliment the space. It provides excellent shade, keeps the area cooler, and has truly transformed how we use our outdoor space. If you’re considering a patio cover, I highly recommend TEMO. Their craftsmanship, customer service, and product quality are unmatched. We couldn’t be more thrilled!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Southgate, 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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.
