We here at Dillon Contracting, LLC, have been proudly serving homeowners in Shelby Township since 2011. I, Tom Dillon have been in this field since 1985. I strive to do my best on every request. We treat our homeowners like family! We get it done right the first time. Give us a call and we will transform your basement into exactly what you�re looking for. We are a veteran owned company. Financing available if you are interested.

"Dillon Contracting did an outstanding job with our basement. The owner, Tom, was very honest and transparent throughout the entire process. Tom and his employees are clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. We especially appreciated that they would give us options, as well as advice, on the many decisions we had to make. Our schedule was impacted on multiple occasions by delays in the materials that we had ordered (flooring, cabinets, etc.), but Tom was always very accommodating. What really makes this company stand out to me above all others is not just their quality of work, but how easy it was to always get a hold of them. Regardless of how big or small our question or concern may have been, Tom would always respond to our texts or calls right away. He was beyond patient, and went the extra mile to help us with anything we needed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get their basement finished (or any other home improvement work)."

"Bill and his team were absolute professionals from start to finish. Even though I couldn’t be there in person during the project, Bill kept me updated with regular progress reports, which gave me complete peace of mind. The team did a fantastic job remodeling our bathrooms and went above and beyond by fixing a leak caused by our upstairs bathroom. On top of that, they also painted two bedrooms beautifully. The attention to detail, communication, and quality of work were exceptional. I highly recommend Bill and his team to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work and I know I'm definitely keeping his number on hand for any future projects!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.
