Giving customers quality work at affordable rates

"Took the money up front (yes, I know dumb idea). My 72 yo disabled veteran hired Will Evans to do repairs. Will took the money and never finished plus what he did we had to hire someone else who had to tear out everything and redo it bc what Will did was so terrible nothing could be salvaged. We have pictures of proof plus we took him to small claims court, he never showed, and we won judgement against him for the entire amount plus part of what we paid to remove his incompetence. If you have any information on where he is we would appreciate the information. We have not been able to collect a dime on this deadbeat!"

"They were great. After removing the old siding they found some original construction issues that they were able to fix before installing the new siding. They were also flexible and worked with us to make some changes to the original scope of the work. The new siding looks great and they were on time and kept the yard looking clean and orderly while working. They completely cleaned up the yard after they completed the work. If I need siding work again, I will definitely use them again."

Hi I'm Kyle with Phoenix brothers contracting i recently came off active duty in the army and decided to start this business with my father and my best friend will lane and Dylan weber my father will lane has 30 years in this business and Dylan has 5 I grew up with my father doing this . My father operated under the company name lane contractors for about 10.years we now decided to do it together we provide high quality work for a blue collar price we are fully insured and guarantee our work have yet to have an unhappy customer and never plan on it we strive to give you what you desire for the best price possible. If you visit our website on Facebook you can see some oof our work and reviews I hope to hear from you and do work together in the future. Phoenix brothers contracting we do it all

"I wanted about 100 feet of fencing put around the back of my house to serve as a dog run. I had contacted several local fencing companies but they either did not return my calls or were booked for a couple to many months. I lucked out that these guys were in-between jobs. Kyle came out quickly and gave me an estimate that was less than I was expecting and more than fair. He walked me through the pros and cons of different kinds of fencing and I settled on split-rail. I didn't want an expensive fence, but I wanted something a little nicer-looking than chain-link. He even gave me a small discount if I started the work sooner rather than later. They got started less than a week later on a Tuesday, and were only delayed by a few days when several rounds of thunder storms came through. Even with the rain they had the posts up and in concrete by Friday so they could set over the weekend. The fence was up by lunch on Monday. They returned Tuesday morning (due to a materials delay that was beyond their control) and finished the entire job by lunch on Tuesday. Kyle, his partner, and the 2 men that helped them on this job are good, local guys from southern Indiana. They were honest, tidy, pleasant, polite, and honestly, fun to talk to the few times I went out to shoot the breeze with them. I hope they make it in this business for their sake and the fact that I would hire them again if the need ever came up."

"Nightmare in Easton. Jose’s painted over debris from power washing on my home and decks and never sanded or prepped. They painted my roof shingles and my security cameras! They spray painted my new gutters that were just installed when I told them not to. They painted my chimney and it’s an absolute mess. They painted with tan primer on a house to be painted white! Tan is showing through. They did not repair work prior to painting as quoted. They ripped screens out from the outside of the house breaking them. Painted all windows shut. Power washed my new deck boards on both decks against the grain causing so much damage. They added sand to deck boards and it is a nightmare. Paint is all over my patios. Paint is peeling everywhere after 1 day! Now he wants to come to “touch up” areas after I had professional contractors view his work. I was told the entire house and both decks need to be completely re-done. Contacted his insurance carrier. Shame on you, Jose. Reported to the Attorney General’s office."

I started in this industry in 2008 as a carpenter's apprentice. In 2013 I moved on to running my own business, doing everything from tile and paint, to decks and kitchen remodels, and now taking on larger jobs such as finishing basements to home additions. I pride myself on communicating with my customers through all phases of their projects, keeping them up to date on progress and giving them my input when needed, and providing quality work at reasonable prices.

"Tim is great. I was connected to him through my mom who touted reasonable pricing and a great job, after he was recommended to her by a friend he'd done work for for the same reasons. I began working with Tim probably around 2019-2020, and have hired Mielke Construction time and time again due to his quality of work, professionalism, reasonable pricing, reliability, friendliness and ability to do so many different things. I bought a house about 5 years ago that we basically did an entire remodel on. I've worked with many contractors since purchasing it, and Tim is hands down the best I've come across. He gives me very reasonable pricing on so many projects, and does a very good job on top of that. In particular, Tim did a bathroom tile job (in addition the installing the vanity and mirror and sinks and more) for me that is truly beautiful and I couldn't be happier. If I could upload a picture to show it off I would. I could go on but don't want to ramble too much! I've worked with him for years now and could even call him a friend at this point. Tim is the man and I definitely recommend him."

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
