Get matched with top basement remodelers in Topeka, IN

"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

"Jose Aritas and his crew are top-notch: professional, pleasant, and efficient. Jose responded quickly to our inquiry on Angi, and came the next day to estimate our job (painting the interior front half of the house, including the ceiling, and also minor master bathroom remodeling). They were ready to go as soon as the new countertop and plumbing fixtures arrived. He kept us informed, arrived on time with his amazing crew of 6 pros, and had the work done within two days. Jose is calm, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile. His crew did a careful, beautiful job, including leaving the house totally cleaned up. We highly recommend Aritas Remodeling & Painting -- this is a pro you can count on to do the job, and do it right. "

"I had a roof leak around our chimney which was attempted to be resolved by several roofing companies with no resolution. Exterior Arts, LLC provided a quote, selected a date for the repair, and promptly finished it. The water leak is gone. Exterior Arts, LLC has done two other jobs for us in the past, rebuilt our deck and installed new composite siding on a bay window that we have. They did an excellent job on these projects as well."

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. They took my 1st half deposit and then vanished. I have called multiple times. Spoke with someone once and they promised a call back. Never did. Emailed and no response. This was over 4 months ago. Nothing. They stole my money. Sales guy was John Mullikin. Here's their class-act response by chat. The best response I've had yet. "Conversation closed by Erika"."

"Reliable Roofing Summary: With clear conscience, I can give my highest recommendation to Reliable Roofing. I searched for more than a year, interviewing at least 6 roofers, before I found one that was honest, and presented a technically accurate view of the job. That was Reliable Roofing. As a bonus, their quote was entirely reasonable for a quality installation with quality materials. First, their communications are terrific. Reliable employs a pivot person in the office who is easily reachable by phone, returns calls promptly, and can handle most anything related to scheduling and billing. With most companies, you have to leave a voice mail on the cell phone of an overworked supervisor, running around the field, who never answers your call promptly. Not at Reliable. This communications emphasis runs through the whole operation down to the working roofers. They engaged with me fully, explaining everything they were doing, and offerd suggestions and options for, me to decide, that involved both the function and appearance of the roof and gutters. No job the size of a roof ever goes off without a hitch. The question is: what is your company prepared to do about it if there is an error. The President of the company, Abraham Gordillo, was no stranger to the worksite, and appeared regularly to inspect. They work to catch and correct any mistake on the spot, and any concern I had was rapidly and professionally taken care of. Just after the roof was complete, we had 7 inches of rainfall in two days, and I inspected every inch of the inside of the roof for leaks. I found three small drips, close to each other at the base of the chimney. The roofer who I had watched spend half a day obsessively flashing around the chimney, came out the next morning, and found that the leaks came from the top of the chimney itself and were not the fault of the roofing installation. Nevertheless, he then spent the rest of the morning fixing a problem that wasn’t Reliable’s responsibility so that, in the end, I had a completely dry attic. Which, of course, they knew was the ending I needed, and saved me hiring a chimney man. Part way through the job, I decided to change out the gutters and downspouts to larger sizes. I asked the lead roofer about it, and he got right on the phone with their gutter lead, described my job, and got a terrific quote on the spot. When the gutter men completed their job, they were short one small elbow and said they would send someone out the next day with it to finish up. The next day, the lead gutter man came by with the part, surveyed the whole job, and decided that two of the downspouts would have been more attractive in a different orientation. So, although they were completely functional, he took them down (2 stories), and rebuilt them in a more attractive way. You really do want an OCD (his words) gutter man on your job, who isn’t afraid of work. The last thing I’ll mention is overall quality of materials. I know a good deal about roofing. I had measured the thickness of the metal used by the other contractors and caught them in lies. Reliable Roofing doesn’t even have coils in the lighter 29 ga. (does meet code), but starts at 26 ga., which I wanted. The same was true of the underlayment used between the new tar paper and the steel. Top quality, tough material. Here’s what you want to know: I would hire them again in a minute! And they also do general construction work , in fact, so I may have the need to. And I’ll sleep well at night doing it, because the roof is just as quiet as an asphalt shingle roof. -Neil Brunton Satisfied Customer"
