I wanted to finish my basement so like other people, I looked around in yelp hoping to find a good contractor. Black River Construction caught my eyes, a perfect score, 5 stars, from all reviewers, for a contractor!!! I decided to give Black River Construction and five other contractors a call to get an estimate. Black River Construction's estimate was one of the lowest estimates so I decided to hire them. The first time I met Miah, I knew he is the right guy for the job. He is very calm, levelheaded and very friendly. After we signed the contract, he went through the schedule with me. Along the process, he was right on schedule. He is a great communicator. He called the day before and let me know the work of the day, the time he and/or his subcontractors would be at my house. They were punctual. My wife and I had to work and we felt comfortable and safe having them in our house while we were gone. I used to finish my basement so I am very picky. I am also a civil engineer so the quality of work, on schedule, and cost saving are very important to me. I have to say Miah's carpentry work is exceptional. Like other reviewer's comment, it is true that he was pickier than I was. He takes great pride in his works. There were a few items such as cabinets, doors, countertops that I wanted Miah to match with upstair. I know it would be difficult to match them exactly but Miah took the time to call around to different stores, suppliers and even paid extra (not charging me extra) to make me happy and stay within the original contract amount. Did I mention that he and his subcontractors were always on time.... Miah, John, the master electrician, and Solomon cleaned up after themselves every day. The basement was finished on schedule, within the original estimate, and the quality was the best. I am not only getting my basement finished but I also gain a best friend. I highly recommend Miah of Black River Contractor. read more

We had a great experience with Black River Construction. Our project was a minor kitchen renovation in our turn-of-the-century Park Hill home. I called Miah in late April to ask for an evaluation and estimate. He returned my call within 24 hours and was able to come by and evaluate the project 2 days later. I gave him a pretty tough brief: 1.) Demo the existing floors and backsplash; 2.) Replace them both with something substantially nicer; 3.) Start on May 5; 4.) Be finished by May 12. We talked about the project in some detail and he clearly explained what I should expect to happen, what some of the pitfalls could be given the age of the home and the finish I was looking for, and some recommendations on what could be done to save time and money now and in the future. He was back to me within two days with what I thought was a very fair cost estimate. I signed the estimate and sent in a deposit a few days later. True to word, the work started on May 5. We didn't quite make the 7 day turnaround, but the guys worked over the weekend to make it 8. Not bad. And the project came in exactly as budgeted, not a dollar more than what was agreed. Miah was by the house every day to check on the progress and the quality of work, and to make adjustments where needed. The kitchen looks great and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result. If you call Miah -- and, let me be clear, I recommend that you do -- you'll find that he's experienced, responsive, forthright, detail-oriented and fair. In other words: he's everything you're looking for in a general contractor. I'm looking forward to remodeling both a bathroom and our basement in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future; Miah and Black River Construction will be the first call I make. read more

I got a handful of estimates for our basement bathroom remodel. Miah was the only one I found on Yelp, everyone who had actually had work done by him had great things to say. The reviews were accurate - we couldn't be more happy with the process and results of the work done by Black River Construction. As others have said, Miah says what he'll do and does what he says. Digging up concrete and knocking through walls in a 70 year old house there are bound to be some surprises, but the only extra costs we incurred were add-ons that we chose. He's punctual and accessible, got the job done in the time frame he'd given us, and our two year old still talks about him. The kind of guy you'd want in and out of your house for eight weeks. And his sub-contractors are top notch, we ended up using them for the rest of the basement remodel after seeing the work they did in the basement. Not the experience I expected after having major projects completed in the past by other GCs. Our neighbors are 6 months in to their basement remodel and still haggling with their (not independently owned and operated) remodel company about some overcharges. I always try to go with the small business owner for the personal touch. Miah cares, and it comes through in his work. Thank you Miah! -Brett, Aviva, and Emmett read more

I called Miah based on other reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. Miah made my ugly bathroom into a pretty one without causing me to have a money stroke. He was extremely professional from the get go- he showed me what corners were cut in the previous renovation and how he would correct it, the quote got to me a little late as he was busy, but he called prior to let me know he had not forgotten. He and his worker, Soloman cleaned up after themselves every day they were there and they always communicated to me what was going on. Miah even offered to do the bathroom in phases so that we would not be without facilities for an extended period of time. Miah also works well with other professionals and is always calm and collected. I had my own plumber and painter come in and they were both impressed with Miah's work. The tile work they did is absolutely beautiful. Overall the entire process was pretty painless, my husband and I had to work most of the days they were there, but neither one of us did not feel uncomfortable having them in our home while we were not there. My cat even went right up to him and he is afraid of everyone! I will definitely be referring Miah to everyone I know and we will be using him again when we are ready to do some work in the kitchen. read more

Miah and his team were absolutely tremendous to work with. We contracted Black River Construction for a complete interior remodel of a 2000 sq ft home and structural truss reinforcement for the roof. The bottom line: they did the job in perfect detail and months ahead of schedule at a very competitive price. The project was to be done over a 6 month timeframe and the majority of work was complete within 4 months. As he worked through reframing, Miah actually made suggestions on design and helped me conceptualize improvements to enhance layout. He was onsite promptly, regularly, and always sent photos and videos to keep us up to date (even if we had been onsite recently). I think it was his way to document progress and ensure we were happy at every juncture. We came to know the subcontractors and were incredibly pleased with them as well. A great reflection on Black River, as they associate with top notch craftsmen with character and terrific work ethic. Miah and his team stand by their work and produce a superior product. My wife and I regularly felt appreciative and "lucky" that we got to work with Black River. They honored our trust and I can't recommend them enough, and if you get the opportunity, hire them for your next project. read more

My partner and I recently bought a townhome in the LoHi section of Denver. The bedrooms were on the small side, so we decided to expand them into an adjoining bathroom and place that bathroom on an upper floor. We hired Miah based on the great reviews he received on Yelp, and we weren't disappointed. He wasted no time in demolishing the bathroom and putting up the drywall for the new expansion. Upstairs, he tore out an existing bar, and then he expanded the floor over empty space to accommodate the size of the new room. Miah expertly handled the job, dealing with the subcontractors that handle the plumbing and electricity, and he was great at keeping the channels of communication open, discussing his progress with us on a daily basis. Moreover, his rates are very reasonable in comparison to other bids that we received on this project. And, most importantly, he is very personable and very easy to get along with, which is extremely helpful during construction, a time that can certainly be stressful. We definitely would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks Miah! read more

Miah is the owner of Black River Construction (BRC), and ended up being a fantastic General Contractor to do the remodeling of our Master Bath and Basement Wet Bar areas. He had the best pricing by far, and ended up exceeding our expectations for quality and speed of installation. Miah is a good communicator, and has a personality style that helps to keep everything on an even-keel during the remodeling. I also really appreciated that Miah stays connected to the remodeling project, always taking on a portion of the work himself and regularly reviewing what the sub-contractors have done. The subs he used were all highly skilled, respectful of our home, and customer service focused. We liked the resulting work so much, we have already decided to move forward with Miah on another remodeling project! I highly recommend BRC for any home remodeling project you may have. read more

After reading several of their reviews on Yelp, we decided to give Miah and Sean of Black River Construction a call to redo our bathrooms. We got a good feeling about them when they came over to give us an estimate and we are glad we picked them. They are very professional, and their entire staff was great at what they do. They very easily adapted to whatever issues arose from the remodeling and they even addressed a couple of other minor issues that weren't on the contract. They were so great to work with that we are planning on hiring them again to redo our basement next. You can't go wrong with Black River Construction! read more

Miah remodeled our backyard including fencing, a deck, a cantilever gate, and 2 car concrete pad. We also had the exterior painted along with some interior drywall repair. Miah was very patient throughout the whole project even when we had some unexpected problems arise. His workmanship is quality. He installed the fence and deck and subbed out the gate, concrete work, drywall, and paint. Miah was very easy to work with and kept us updated throughout the project. He is an honest guy that you can trust in your home. We are very happy with the final product and highly recommend him! read more

When trying to find someone to remodel my kitchen, I was totally lost. I went with Black River Construction because of the reviews right here on Yelp. I was very glad I did. Miah, who owns the company, did everything we agreed on, and stuck with my very limited budget. I was living in the house during the construction, and really appreciated that he and his subcontractors cleaned up everyday. I am not one to sit back and stay out of the process, and Miah was very open to my changes and suggestions. It was a totally awesome experience, and would definitely use him again. read more

Miah first remodeled our Master Bath and Wet Bar area in. He did such a fantastic job, we hired him again to completely remodel our Kitchen and a Guest Bath. Miah, and his very experienced subs, did a wonderful job. The Kitchen has a wonderful new look and feel, as does our Guest Bath. Miah finished on-time and on budget, and kept in close communication throughout the work. We are thankful to have found Miah, and highly recommend him for remodeling work. read more

I needed some tile work done quickly and Miah came to the rescue! The quality of the work was outstanding, he was way ahead of schedule, and the price was right. One thing I always look for in a contractor is what kind of customer service do they have. Miah checked in with me daily to see how the project was going and was very responsive to my needs. I'd highly recommend Miah and Black River Construction! read more

I am so impressed with Miah and his crew! They were fast, clean, courteous, and most of all knowledgeable. They were able to repair my flood cut drywall in the basement to look as if it was never cut at all. They always showed up when they said they would, and they got the job done right. I'd use them over anyone else, and I've used many different contractors in my past 5 years as a homeowner! read more

Perfect for the DIY who wants a polished end product. read more

Highly recommended! Miah was friendly and prompt in following up, even for what was just a small job for him. The job (ceiling repair) was done exactly as promised, and could not look better. I second the previous reviewer, in that he'll definitely be my first choice from now on. read more

Miah is an excellent contractor! Within 2 days, he was able to lay concrete, build support beams, and prevent damaging my patio from the weight of my hot tub. Miah is professional, courteous, on time, and reliable. I will be calling him for future upgrades to my house. read more
