"The most reliable, honest and professional contractor in the area. They turned our unfinished basement into a comfortable place to live and entertain our family. We were on a very tight schedule and Pete and his crew were able to make it happen. Not only did they complete the project in time for our family reunion, they did it with absolute perfection.

TimberRidge Pro is a Superior Contracting Company. We listen to our customers and it is our goal to meet their expectations and provide quality services. Family owned and operated since 2010 and proud to be serving the beautiful Northern Michigan with a wide variety of services: ~Home Renovations, Drywall/finishing, Windows, Flooring, Paint, Handyman services, Retaining/Sea walls, Hardscaping, Decks, Fencing, Excavating, Demolition, Landscaping, Junk removal, Hauling (up to 3 yards) of sand, gravel, top soil, mulch, ect. We have a 5 star Cleaning Division as well specializing in VRBO/Air B&B Turnovers.

"TimberRidge Pro did a fine job on our master bath renovation . AJ was great at offering ideas and suggestions for products to use. He actually met us at Home Depot to help us make choices! That was VERY impressive! He began our job 2 weeks early (what contractor does that?) and had all of our products ready to go. He covered all of the areas leading to the bathroom and kept the job site neat and clean. That is also a biggie, because many contractors and their helpers leave messes! Not TimberRidge Pro! They clean up their worksites as if they were their own homes. After 6 days, we had a new entire shower, vanity with lighted mirror, sink and quartz sinktop, new luxury vinyl flooring, all new lighting, a plumbing problem from the old shower resolved, a new access panel to the shower installed, and the bathroom painted nicely. We had an issue with the glass shower door. It came in defective from the supplier. AJ obtained a new shower door that was much sturdier, tore out the bad one and replaced it with a much better door. (We split the cost of the upgraded glass door). AJ honored all of the line items in our contract and totally took care of some minor things on our punch list with ease. His price was reasonable and our new master bath looks amazing! We would highly recommend TimberRidge Pro for your next bathroom project and we would certainly use this contractor again!"

Steelman Brothers Construction, LLC is owned and operated by, Randy Steelman. Randy’s love for building began at a young age while helping his grandfather build their family home. From that time forward Randy worked for commercial and private building companies in many capacities; large projects such as building dams and small detail oriented projects such as fine cabinetry. All of this experience offered Randy the ability to make his dream become a reality and in 2015 “Steelman Brothers Construction” was born. Not only does Randy get to do what he loves everyday but he also gets to teach his brothers and sons what his grandfather taught him. No job too big or too small. Call Randy and family!

"Owner and staff were friendly, flexible, went above and beyond to get things done when home owner wasn't able to do so, or assist. Owner was also helpful with ideas and product suggestions."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Yes. Renovating your basement has a return on investment (ROI) of 75%, meaning your remodel investment will significantly increase the value of your home. Besides the ROI, your family can enjoy a larger, more usable space while you live there. 

Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.
