The owners and workers of Community Construction are authentic, hard-working, personable and did an exceptional job (while using high-quality products!!). They are set apart from anywhere else because of the quality of their work and the way they genuinely value the customer. We have had multiple compliments on our roof since it was installed."

Customers say: Quick response

"Rick Sievers, General Contractor and Owner of Bay Ridge Development Inc., provided everything he promised in his bid with skill, flexibility, organization and constant communication. As is probably true with any remodel, we requested changes at various intervals throughout and Rick handled those requests with grace and showed his ability to be flexible. He is extremely skilled and always strove for perfection in his own performance as well as the performance of the specialty services he hired. Rick performed most of the work himself, so he was onsite the majority of the time, and when a specialty service was required, he hired people who worked to his high standards. Rick's organization and communication skills are wonderful and were very much appreciated from day one. There were absolutely no surprises due to Rick's ability to communicate throughout our remodel. Rick was a pleasure to interact with, from beginning to end, and we won't hesitate to request his services in the future. We absolutely love the end result! Dave and Debbie Watson Traverse City, MI Description of work: We needed a Kitchen Remodel/Expansion which included the following: removal and installation of picture window in the family room, removal and installation of new sliding door, removal and installation of larger window in the kitchen, removal and replacement of exterior siding, removal and installation of new cabinets, removal of granite counter and old appliances, removal and installation of ceramic tile in the kitchen/dining nook, removal of carpet and installation of new hickory hardwood flooring in the dining room and hallway.

"Bob is everything you’d want in a contractor/builder. My wife & I did some major renovation work on our house in Thompsonville and Bob was our contractor. He was communicative, cost conscious, conscientious, timely and he and his crew have outstanding skills. We are delighted with the results. If you’re familiar with This Old House, Bob is a combination of Tom Silva and Kevin O’Connor. His carpentry skills and acumen are second to none and he went above and beyond the call of duty in working with various suppliers to help us make our material selections. You may find contractors as good as Bob, but you won’t find one any better. He comes highly recommended."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.

Key trends include home gyms, theatre rooms, additional rooms (bedroom/office), and more, with personalized styles reflecting individual preferences.
