Customers say: Super punctual

"The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again."

"Jeff and his crew were absolutely amazing! In just over 3 months time, he turned our open/empty basement into something that exceeded our expectations. His communication was impeccable throughout the whole process. He was always kind and patient with us. Jeff put any and all of our doubts at ease with his craftsmanship and expertise. Most importantly, he stayed within our budget! I'd recommend Kettle Moraine Kitchen and Bath to everyone I know. We will use him again in the future and suggest that anyone reading my review does the same. He restored my faith in contractors because he's honest and hardworking."

"I wanted a home office/man cave room built in our basement. John was able to have his team start when we agreed and the carpentry, painting, and flooring work was done extremely well. There was only one pre-existing wall so this was mostly a completely new room within a partially finished basement. We had some issues with the electrician (Gillitzer Electric) because I had specific light fixtures and electrical layouts that I wanted done. It took them several attempts to get the correct lights. If you want any light fixtures that are not standard I would recommend purchasing them yourself. Other than that everything ended up being done exactly as I wanted, but a little more expensive than I would have preferred for a single room given I did additional insulation and all of the audio-video wiring myself. This is partly on me as I opted for some more expensive ceiling tiles and solid wood doors that are not standard items. Regardless I would definitely recommend John and would hire him again."

"DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I contacted Andy of West Bend Glass Block on 12/18/17 via their website contact for a quote on a glass block window in a shower. He responded that he could perform the quote by visiting the site and viewing it from the outside. I had done all the aluminum flashing on the outside myself, and it was wrapped to the exterior stops. I also let him know that I would supply the proper color of OSI Quad caulk for use on the exterior, and that I expected to finish the interior trim myself. He quoted $540 for the window installed, which I thought reasonable. After a little back and forth on scheduling, I gave him the go ahead. He rescheduled once due to the cold weather, putting the final installation date at 1/31/18. I was at work and my wife was home for the installation. According to her, he and another employee arrived promptly and were courteous. After they left, my wife sent me a picture of the outside of the installation (see below) and I immediately noticed they had used interior (untreated) pine to cover up the gap between the bottom of the window and the flashed sill. I asked if she had already written them a check and she told me she had, and that Andy had assured her that we could "just paint it." I had my wife stop payment on the check with the bank, and immediately contacted Andy with the following message: "Andy- My wife just sent me a picture of the outside of the window. I have stopped payment on the check and I am not paying you a dime unless you return to properly aluminum wrap and seal the unprotected wooden section below the window. Your installation is absolutely unacceptable as is and I paid for a window fit the the opening, installed to the wrapped exterior stops. I didn't spend tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of my time to redo the outside of my house with vinyl products only to have you leave unprotected wood exposed to the elements, telling my wife that I should "paint it." Let me know how you plan to make this right." He did not attempt to email me back, but rather stopped back at the house to speak with my wife again. She said he seemed sincerely distraught that we were not happy, and he wanted to talk to me. She called me again at work but I was unable to talk, and I told her to have them leave and I would be in contact. The next morning, 2/1/18, at 0614, I sent him the following email: "Mr. Klefstad- I hired your company to supply and install "the glass block analogue of a pocket replacement window," which you quoted at $540 installed. I agreed to pay for installation (a task for which I am more than qualified) to save myself the effort of figuring out how to support such a window on and seal it to the sill plate in a retrofit application like this. Yesterday, you left this area filled with caulk and covered with interior grade pine, which is a completely unsuitable material for exterior installation, assuring my wife it could be painted, and convincing her to sign off on the invoice and pay for your services. You also nailed this in place through my wrapped sill plate, and then caulked it in place. In order to fix the material choice and workmanship, I needed to do the very thing I contracted with you so I wouldn't have to do. I needed to: 1) Remove the unacceptable, unrated pine material. 2) Clean all of the caulk from the area (and, I might add, from the air conditioning condenser where errant material had been left), which requires solvent and PPE to do. 3) Make a trip to the hardware store to procure proper exterior grade-material (UV-protected PVC). 4) Insulate the void in the sill area with a proper low-expanding foam. 5) Cut and install the PVC to support the window and seal it to the sill plate. 6) Re-caulk the sill area on the exterior, including sealing the nail holes left in my sill flashing. This was well over two hours of my time that I should have been in the shop working on customer orders at $85/hr. I have precious little time to spend going back and forth on this matter, but I assure you I am not willing to pay the full quoted $540 given that it has already cost me around $200 in lost work time and materials to repair. Removal of the window is a non-starter, as for me to re-flash the window would require stripping the siding and J-channel to access the foil-face insulation to which the flashing was properly sealed. The window and vent appear to be of quality construction, and I certainly acknowledge that a delivery service was performed, but I will require a significant discount on the installation portion of the quoted price. I will await your response." He replied: "Mike I wish you would call me. What to [sic.] you want to pay me? Andy" I saw this email late in the evening on 2/1/18, and replied to him on the morning of 2/2/18: "Andy, I am willing to pay for the window and delivery. Please email me a revised invoice for the amount you would quote for those services, and indicate on it that it supercedes the original invoice. I will remit payment via mailed personal check." I have not heard back from him, however, he has filed a civil suit in the matter, and had a Sheriff's Deputy attempt to serve me papers to that end, less than 48 hours after the service! Please see the picture below. Do not use this company. Anyone who knows anything about window installation knows that interior trim grade pine is not to be installed on the exterior of a house, exposed to the elements. This man is acting like a child, instead of accepting that he made a mistake, discounting the shoddy work that I had to redo, and moving on, he is now making a simple private dispute into a lawsuit. I am now faced with having to take days off work and waste even more time than I did fixing his installation. I have attached several pictures of the installation as Andy left it, including the untreated pine, the caulk left on my air conditioning condenser, and the general poor quality of the caulk job. The window itself seems to be of fine quality and well built, and until he filed a lawsuit I thought he was sincere in his desire to reach a price with which we could both live. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. I have nothing to hide, I have cash in the bank to pay my bills, and I have shared everything here in the open. This company needs to have their service award status immediately revoked!"

"We could not be happier with the work that Jason and the team at Fair & Square did at our home! As ours is an older house, built in the 1920's, the challenge was to add built in bookshelves and a mantel that would look like they were original to the house. To complicate things the previous owner had stained the hardwood floors with a custom stain. Fair and Square knocked it out of the park and would highly recommend for any custom work you may need."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in West Bend, WI

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.
