Wilmes Construction is a great company to work with for basement remodeling. Tom is honest and direct with the work being performed, the schedule was held to pretty closely (life happens), and the whole job was completed under budget. They work with you on selections and design decisions, and are flexible when there are reasonable changes. Overall, I would highly recommend Wilmes Construction for any future remodeling needs.

Tom and his crew did an excellent job. The project turned out to be much more than we thought but they stepped up and got it done. They treated me with respect and made me feel they really cared about me and my home.

We could not be happier with how the work turned out. Tom is very good at what he does, is extremely friendly, and has a keep attention to detail. He has an entire process, letting you know what he needs from you and when, and (COVID notwithstanding) can give you a good estimate on when the job will be done. He tells you upfront what the job will cost. But most importantly, his work is great. We wholeheartedly recommend him and will be using him in the future.

We brought the company out to look at the space. He was pleasant and seemed very knowledgeable about the space. He promised a rough estimate by the end of the day. He never submitted anything, even after we followed up asking. On the followup,, he apologized and said it would be that day. Again, nothing- so we gave up and signed our $30k+ project to a different company. We still have not heard a peep from him weeks later. Super unprofessional.

We decided to finish our basement and we looked into a few different contractors. I am so glad we picked Tom to do it. I honestly couldn’t imagine someone else doing it. Tom is very trust worthy and will give you his honest opinion on what he thinks is best for the project he is working on. He is a genuine nice guy and that shows in his work. He was very patient with us when we had a few bumps in the road with the payment but he was able to work with us on a start date. He took the time to help us figure out a small siding issue that we had that was separate from what we needed done. I would definitely hire Tom again for any future projects that we might need done.

Extremely well!

I think it went wells. It was finished one week earlier. Tom provided/coordinated almost all the pro workers of each task (electrical, plumbing, drywall installer, flooring, etc) of what needed to completed the whole project. He helps pointed out imperfections when the Painters (I was involved with Painters Pro selection) missed some parts of needed to paint surfaces and have them come back to re-paint (to get it right). We even get our old sink replaced and installed new garbage disposal and updated / replaced RO faucet of our under the sink water filtration system.

We decided to finish our basement in late August, started looking for a contractor and talked to Tom in early September. We have a rec room with a gas fireplace in the corner, a bedroom, a bathroom, a work area, and the utility room is enclosed. He was very responsive in helping us plan and make choices, and got the job done by the holidays. The computer tools he used to draw designs and give us a list of items to buy really helped us to visualize the plan and know what we needed to do. I am a project manager, and I really appreciated how Tom planned the project and kept it on track! He had a plan laid out with the major activities and subcontractors each week, and showed us where there was contingency so we knew the plan wasn’t too tight. The quality of work is excellent, and we are very happy with our basement! We recommend Tom very highly!

it went well

Tom is a great guy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He gave us professional advice when we were uncertain on what we really need. He did quality job. We strongly recommend Tom for home renovation job.

Tom was great to work with! We would definitely recommend and will be using him for future projects! Tom was friendly, organized and took time to keep us informed and answer all of our questions. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work.

We brought in three contractors to give us bids for our basement finish and decided to go with Tom based on affordability and flexibility. Tom proved to be very trustworthy and reliable. He was also great with our large dog. We love our basement and have referred him to several friends.

Fantastic job!

We had Tom finish the ~900 sf basement in our home purchased a few months prior. Several contractors came out to review the project and give us quotes. We tried to remain neutral through our selection process, but Tom immediately stood out for his communication and attention to the details of the project. Tom provided drawings and was very quick to respond to updates to the design as we narrowed down exactly what we wanted. The main reason we went with Tom was for how he communicated with us. He gave us a lot of confidence that he would do exactly what we agreed on, and in the end he certainly delivered. The sub contractors he brought in were all courteous and did great work. The project was completed on time, and we are very happy with the quality. We did the flooring and paint ourselves to save on some costs, and he gave us the flexibility to schedule that without disrupting his overall schedule. We left the bathroom part of this project for a later phase, and we will have Tom back to do that work as well.

Tom and team did a great job. They were always there on time and cleaned up the job site before they left. We have has other remodel projects done in the past and had a hesitancy in working with another contractor. Tom was wonderful to work with and we would hire him again if needed.

Wilmes construction did a fantastic job with remodeling our bathrooms. We had several contractors provide estimates for the remodeling of our powder room and master bath. We encountered a number of issues with the various contractors, ranging from over-inflated estimates, to recommendations of cheap materials, to failure to follow through with communication. Tom was the only contractor through this process that didn't have any red flags. He was prompt with his communication, he delivered an estimate that matched our specifications exactly, and answered every question we had. Throughout the remodel process, we didn't feel the anxiety that we experienced with other home projects. He made the entire process simple. He was very accommodating through the process of picking out and ordering materials for the project, and the contacts he has for selecting tile, counters, cabinets, etc were extremely helpful with the design process. It has been over 6 months since the project was finished, and we are still extremely pleased with the quality of the work done in our bathrooms. We could not be more pleased with the project.

All major home construction projects are a messy challenge to live through, but Tom did his best to communicate times when he'd be working and stay as neat as possible. The end result is a beautiful upgrade to our home that makes for a better living experience and value when we decide to sell the house someday.

the end product was very nice and the price was competitive. However scheduling of work and completion dates were not well managed. Several things were not done correctly or had to be redone.

Tom was very detailed and did a nice job of explaining the process and provided us with design and material options throughout the project.  The actual cost was in line with the original bid. Very easy to work with and straight shooter. Definitely would use him again.

It went great. Tom was always in communication with us, he got the job done quickly and efficiently. Very friendly and easy to deal with. He had some great suggestions we hadn't thought of. We love both the bathrooms. The transformation is awesome.
We plan on using Tom again in a few months to replace our decks

Very well. Tom gave us an estimate that was easy to stay within. It was very detailed  and our requests where met.  Payment as in three parts and was easy to manage into our household budget.      There was a delay on the things I ordered for the bathroom.  Tom kept in touch as to when they could start. He communicated with me about items that would not work and suggested items that would.  We chose a shower that he had not installed before and it turned beautiful. They cleaned up at the end of every day. Mess to the area outside of the bathroom was minimal. They worked through the holidays and did not disrupt any of our plans or functions.  The bathroom turned out great.
