    Trash from construction materials and demo debris

    Hiring Basements and Beyond turned out to be worse than I could have imagined. I would not be writing this review if the issues and responses encountered were not so shocking. This is my account of my opinion about the experience. Here are some key problems that we encountered: 1. There were constant errors and damage that took place throughout the project (see below). 2. A projected 55-day project took nearly a year to complete, with a brief pause due to COVID. B&B touted project management software as a differentiator, but the content was mostly inaccurate and outdated. 3. There was rarely a person from B&B on site when subcontractors arrived to do work, and the subs rarely knew what needed to be done, resulting in wrong work completed, items damaged, and insufficient oversight. They gave our door code to innumerable subcontractors and access to our home felt like a non-stop free-for-all. 4. In my opinion, the results look amateur in places, despite B&B's continued insistence at me that we had a beautiful result. 5. I have learned that the project was likely quite expensive. I was lured by the positive reviews and sadly did not get multiple bids. 6. We started with a much larger scope and had to significantly reduce the scope because they were not able to manage the small items. 7. B&B was unable or unwilling to provide us an updated and final allowance schedule for our plumbing work. They changed the numbers in the software over time, and could not account for the changes or discrepancies. They would only send us the bills from the plumbing providers, which I reviewed in detail to understand what had been installed so that I could retain the receipts for warranty purposes and also to determine the final amount due for this category. I felt that the owner ridiculed me for wanting to understand the items purchased and the numbers (he said I got an A+ for working on it). This felt wrong. 9. We continue to find issues. We recently found that our stove hood was scratched when they replaced it. The seam between the kitchen counter and the kitchen backsplash is already cracked. The new kitchen sink that was installed initially at the wrong angle still does not drain correctly. Here are a few items from the list of errors made or items damaged: Wrong toilets ordered and installed, counter top installed incorrectly requiring re-do of island, damaged sink resulting in having to order new one, damaged faucet resulting in having to order new one, damaged fireplace, disposal of paint materials in garden, disposed of things in our trash cans that made a mess, used our ladder and got paint all over it, wrong paint colors applied, lost existing door hardware, bathroom tile layout not installed according to plan, damaged window frame, damaged wall of adjacent room during demo, un-level light fixture, towel bar and sink installs, gas leak after replacement of stove, incorrect shower glass X2, and the list goes on. We had to identify nearly all of these issues ourselves, propose solutions, and project manage resolution. In addition to the errors and damage, there were too many examples of responses that felt wrong to me. Here is one. When they tried to close the project , I decided to first double check the work in the crawl space. I found trash and construction debris all over that was not there prior. I also noticed plugs hanging in midair that were not plugged in. I called the inspector, who came and said that he saw multiple deficiencies. He said that the plugs were the heat tape for the pipes, and they were not plugged in thus there was no working freeze protection working on the pipes. He said he asked them to come back to fix the problems. The silver lining in this terrible experience is that we are now back in the hands of very skilled professionals to work with us on the multiple larger projects for which we originally planned to engage B&B. This includes starting with new build plans that are less clumsy. UPDATE: In response to Wes's reply, we have never previously remodeled our house, not once. We built (loved our builder!), spent many happy years, and hired B&B for our first remodel ever...

    I can't recommend Steve Beam's company highly enough! We've been working with Steve for almost a…read moredecade now, and he's consistently exceeded our expectations. We first hired him back when he was known as "Steve Beam Handyman," and it's been amazing to see him grow and expand his services with the launch of Denver Remodels Inc. Over the years, Steve and his team have tackled everything from small repairs (like anchoring heavy drapery hardware into our finicky plaster walls) to major renovations (like restoring the exterior of our 1908 Craftsman). One of our favorite projects was transforming our mudroom by removing a wall and building a custom breakfast nook. This was a complex project, but Steve's expertise and creativity shone through. He even suggested a design element in the booth walls that perfectly complemented the Craftsman lines of our home - it's those little details that make a huge difference. What we think truly sets Steve apart is his incredible craftsmanship, creativity, and his consultative approach. He takes the time to truly understand your vision and offers expert guidance throughout the design process. Whether you're tackling a small project or a major renovation, Steve's deep knowledge and experience are on display with every project he does. He's always there to answer questions, offer suggestions, and steer you in the right direction, ensuring that the final result is even better than you imagined. His team is equally fantastic - professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional remodeling experience in Denver, look no further than Steve Beam and Denver Remodels Inc. They're a standout and I'm so glad we found them.

    Steve and his team did a wonderful job completely redoing our master closet and mudroom entryway…read moreshelves. The work took longer than we initially estimated, but Steve communicated with us throughout and was responsive to questions/requests. They are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I can tell these shelves will last a long time!

    We hired Empirical to finish our basement over the summer and they did a fantastic job! I…read moreinterviewed several contractors and Josh was the most professional that I spoke with. He came prepared with lots of information and documentation at our initial meeting. He was very quick to respond and he had an idea for the layout that no one else had thought of. Once things got rolling our project manager was Chuck and I can't speak highly enough of him. He and his team were very professional and everything was completed to our expectations and in some cases beyond. Chuck did a great job of always checking to make sure things were done the right way and if he thought it wasn't good enough he made sure it got done to his standards. He is without a doubt the best contractor I've ever worked with. As far as budget and timeline goes the only things that went over budget were things that we decided to change or upgrade. The timeline also went as expected. Before they even started they gave us an estimate but also told to expect some delays. We expected it to be done by the end of the summer and it was. I would most definitely recommend Empirical Construction for any project and if we need any work done in the future I'll be giving them a call.

Shortly after, I received a response from the business advising me that they did not currently have the capacity for our project. Understanding the circumstance, but also willing to wait for the right team, I responded and asked the business to let me know if that changed in the future, as we have several projects in our home and are hoping to bring the same team aboard for all of them. I then received the attached response offering a completely different explanation than before. Rather than acting with integrity, the business elected to tell a lie, as the project was likely not lucrative enough for them. I made no reference to my budget, but the business assumed I would not be interested in paying their prices. I would like to offer a two-star rating, though, as the communication was quite prompt.

    In July we had a major 40,000 gallon leak in our crawl space - a crawl space that had been…read moreencapsulated to meet LEED standards when built 8 years ago. The 20mil poly was now serving as a pool liner to the deluge of water that had occurred. In order to help move the water out, that liner had to be cut out and then the ground had to dry out before figuring out how to replace it. After contacting a few other companies, I met with Sebastian from HomeStrong. He walked through our crawl space (5' high) and determined how to best repair and get the place back to its original condition. We chose HomeStrong because Sebastian made us feel comfortable, showed us what we could expect and gave us a team who could get the job done the following week. And the pricing was very competitive. Also, it is a family owned company - having our own family business, we really like supporting other families with businesses too. We could not be happier with the results. The project took a little more than 3 days. The team - Daniel & Christian - took such great pride in their work that once the poly was installed, they took their shoes off every time to keep the ground clean! And the encapsulation is even BETTER than it was before. The products they use are top notch. AND the color is WHITE which makes everything look so clean!! A side note here: Not having had exposed ground under our home before, the difference in the humidity and coolness in the house was directly impacted by that exposed ground, even after drying it out for a month prior to reinstalling the encapsulation system. We had a difficult time getting the house to cool less than 73º. Once poly was replaced, the house immediately cooled down and was much more comfortable. Had no idea the impact the encapsulation had been providing! A big shout out and thank you to Sebastian, Daniel & Christian for helping us get our crawl space even better than before! Cannot say enough good things about HomeStrong - highly recommended!! (tried to add photos but it is not allowing it!)

He was very professional and informative and walked me through proposed project in detail and low pressure. And was great getting back to me promptly when I had follow-up questions. The on-site crews led by Armando G. and Jose P. were always professional and kept me informed every step of the way during the project. A project of this scale on your biggest asset is daunting, but HomeStrong was great to work with and their work and subsequent clean-up was top notch! I would highly recommend them for any foundation stablization project!! Chris N., Lakewood, CO
