"We highly recommend Kramer Custom Remodels. They are excellent, 5 stars all the way. We retained their services for several major, high-end projects at our home. We remodeled our en suite bathroom to create a glamour bathroom, remodeled our kitchen to create a gourmet kitchen and we had them prepare our house before we listed it for sale. Each major project was done on time and within the budget and the finished projects exceeded our expectations. We truly loved and had great pride in our home after they had finished. They and their crew were quiet, neat and prompt. In addition to being skilled, we really appreciated that they spent so much time planning with us before each project started so that we could make our remodeling dreams come true. Their knowledge of current trends and timeless beauty and their ability to bring our visions to life made each major remodel a pleasure. 2016- Bathroom Remodel: new tile shower with glass doors, new granite counter, new sinks, laundry area, cabinets, new tile flooring, painted walls, new lights and fixtures 2018- Kitchen Remodel- expanded entryway, added large pantry, granite and stainless steel sink; refinished and restained hardwood floor, all new soft-close cabinets, large island with granite and large stainless steel sink. Designed and built bespoke bar area with lighting, granite and marble- truly a focal point of the kitchen. New stove hood, lights and fixtures. 2021- What a relief it was to have Kramer Custom Remodels prepare our house for sale. They advised us how we could make our home look its best for buyers. They painted every room, the basement, ordered carpet, and added modern light fixtures, and made our home a showplace. We also used Kramer Custom Remodels for all our landscaping needs, through the years."
"Project was managed by James Deel from CARE Ohio. The work crew was fast, professional, and very personable. They took care of our house and garage, kept the work area immaculate, and stayed late until the job was done to their high standards. I have nothing but praise for Construction and Remodeling Experts, James Deel, Lloyd Hilton, and the entire roofing crew! I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a great looking roof on their home and wants the best bang for their bucks!"

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.
Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.
It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.
The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.
Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.
