    a room under construction

    After a few days of heavy rain, We had water coming into our basement through the floor and window well, so we contacted Basement Detective. They came out quick, gave us a great quote and got us on the schedule within a few weeks. Tony was very responsive to all of our questions and clearly explained what our issue was and how they were going to fix it. They needed to install a drain from the window well, a french drain along the wall, and a sump pump. Carlos and his crew showed up early on the day they were scheduled to start (despite a snowstorm the day before) and made sure to do their best to cover up our the other portion of our finished basement for all the dust they were about to create. They spent the first day tearing out the wet drywall, flooring, and jackhammering down into the foundation. The crew carried all of the debris created out in trash bags bag by bag up our staircase out to their truck. The second day the crew came back and worked for 10 hours straight to finish off the job. They must have carried over 50 buckets of concrete from our front yard down the stairs to our basement. Every time they came back up the stairs they also were carrying debris out of the house. It was quite impressive. They finished the work that night, then came back the following day to run the sump pump discharge pipe along our fence down to the alley away from our house. The entire experience was fantastic and I could not recommend Basement Detective more. The crew was friendly and great to be around throughout the 3 days process. They continuously apologized for the mess they were creating even though it's virtually impossible to not make at least some of a mess based on the work being done. They cleaned up the floor and basement on their way out and even offered to come back the next day to mop it up, which was unnecessary. The work looks fantastic. Of course time will tell but I don't see any more water issues arising for us in the future (If it does, they offer a lifetime warranty with their work). Additionally, they offered to come out whenever we call with no hassle if anything is not up to par. Long story short, don't think twice about calling Basement Detective for your basement needs.

    Amazing contractor!!!…read more Lawrence and his crew did a complete renovation of our basement to build an apartment for my parents. From the design through completion, it was a great experience. I found them here on Yelp and I obtained 3 quotes for the job. I had the quotes reviewed by an independent contractor who told me L&R's quote was what the job should reasonably cost. I called 4 references who all had a similar and very positive experience. Lawrence always communicated with me about schedule which had not been the case with other contractors. They were there working on my job every day, not showing up once or twice a week like some others. Any fluctuation to schedule or budget was discussed and agreed upon by both parties. We had a couple of unexpected plumbing delays but that was due to the original build not being up to the current code. I changed direction on a couple of design decisions and Lawrence was right there with me. The work was exceptional and the end product is amazing. I have had the nightmare contractor experience so was very cautious. This was exactly as the process should be and I plan to have them back in the fall to do more work. I give them my highest recommendation!

    The company is a licensed contractor that can provide pretty much any service related to the house…read more This is my third bathroom remodel at my home with Lawrence. He also replaced windows along the master bathroom and hallway. Key items for the high rating. 1. Quality, quality, quality. 2. Prices are the most competitive. 3. Everything is put down on paper with itemized costing. No surprises. 4. Every day everything is cleaned out. No trash / mess lying around. 5. Communication is quick and responsive. 6. Changes to project scope are agreed quickly and without a fuss.

    I want to sincerely thank Alan and his team, Marlon and Emmanuel, for taking such great care of us…read moreduring our home renovations. In July/August, we experienced a ceiling leak that caused significant damage throughout our home, impacting two bathrooms, the playroom, entryway hallway, and laundry room. After water mitigation and demolition were completed, we were left needing extensive repairs and full remodels of the affected areas. This was our first time dealing with a major home issue, and navigating insurance, contractors, and conflicting opinions felt overwhelming and stressful. I spoke with several contractors and received multiple estimates, but Alan stood out immediately. He was the first to respond and the first to give clear, straightforward, and honest answers. Beyond that, Alan is genuinely such a fun and easygoing person to work with, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. He has a great eye for design and prioritizes top-notch materials while still being realistic and respectful of budget. He guided us through the design process, helped with material selection, and made thoughtful recommendations every step of the way. Marlon and Emmanuel are incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and truly kind. They treated our home with care and always took the time to explain what they were doing, which made us feel confident and at ease throughout the process. Fast forward to today, we finally have our home back -- and we couldn't be happier with the results! Not having functional bathrooms and access to certain rooms for months took a toll on our family and our mental health. Click Construction stepped in during a very difficult time and helped restore not just our home, but our peace of mind. My only regret is not finding them sooner. I've attached before-and-after photos so you can see the incredible transformation for yourself. I highly recommend Click Construction to anyone looking for quality work, honesty, and a team that truly cares.

The team is well versed in kitchen design and does beautiful kitchen designs (just seems the pics). They asked lots of questions and made sure to design the cabinetry with the right amount of drawers, accessories and lighting to meet our specific requirements. During install the team was very communicative and the crew was on time and professional every day (and wore their masks all day while working in the house). Appreciate the time they spend to make sure you're happy with the design and details.

Years later, it was time to replace everything, and we wanted a kitchen with a better flow, more space, and better quality cabinets and appliances. Most contractors we contacted simply wanted to replace everything without improving it. Bath Plus Kitchen has actual architects on staff, listened to my list of wants and needs, and then incorporated them. I liked that they change a base price for this, so that I had the option of taking the plans to a different contractor or of using their in-house building crew. We went with their building crew, and we're really happy with how the kitchen turned out. It's so much more open and spacious than before. I have lots of space for working. I upgraded to a powerful stove with a hood, both of which work great. I'm really happy with the quality of the cabinets -- such an upgrade from any I've had before, probably ever. I'm enjoying the little extras that they planned into the kitchen that wouldn't have occurred to me, like dimmers on all of the lights, the quality hardware, touch-sensitive faucet, even the matching wood-panel vent covers and switch plate. The building crew did a very good job keeping the site clean and performing quality work all the way around. Nothing has felt wobbly, looked crooked, or seemed in the slightest bit off. A few negatives: Bath Plus Kitchen is BUSY! We started working on this project in November 2022. We finalized the plans, picked out appliances, and put down a large deposit in early February 2023. Work on our kitchen actually began the second week of July. That's a while to wait! We also had a few communication challenges, like a shifting start date, when to expect the crew to be at our house, and who was responsible for arranging delivery of a few items. It was nothing awful, but worth keeping on top of. Overall, the kitchen looks great and is great to cook in, and I'm excited to have friends over. I think we will enjoy it for many years to come.
