He helped provide advice and answered questions quickly throughout the process. Our project was completed on time and within budget. His staff was very friendly and easy to work with as well. Very professional throughout the experience. I would definitely recommend his services for anyone looking into a similar project.

He has great ideas and isn't afraid to tell you if something you want to do isn't necessarily worth the expense (which we very much appreciated). They delivered high-quality work that leveraged their knowledge and expertise to ensure our new space was functional and beautiful. Some things you look for in a general contractor and rarely find are the ability to stay close to budget and timelines, and Jim and his team did both of these! Jim does a thorough of a job putting designs/estimates together, and the only change order we had (that wasn't scope creep on our part) was for some poor electrical a previous owner did that Jim couldn't have anticipated. In addition, Jim keeps your project moving. We rarely went two days without someone at the house making progress on our project; there were no extended delays due to materials or labor issues. Jim and his team also excel at problem solving. Every project has hiccups along the way, but every issue is tackled and Jim won't stop until the solution works for you. As an example, we were having trouble matching the color of some new hardwood floors to older, existing floors in the house. He helped us put down 16 stain samples and promised we would keep trying until we got it right (and we finally did!). It was very clear our happiness was extremely important to him. If you are looking for a contractor who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, affordable, and fun to work with, Independent Remodeling is who you should work with. It's hard to find a company you would want to use a second time, but Jim will be the first person we call for future projects in our house, and who we will recommend to friends and family if they are looking to complete a project in their home.

We hired Josh to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to…read morefinish, he exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and communication were outstanding, and he truly went above and beyond every step of the way. One of our favorite features is the custom reading nook he designed. We never would have thought of it ourselves, and it turned out to be one of the most unique and beautiful parts of the basement. He also took care of little extras, like mounting our TV, which saved us time and showed how much he genuinely cares about delivering a finished space, not just completing a job. The quality of the work is exceptional, his pricing was very fair, and he transformed our unfinished basement into a space our family absolutely loves spending time in. The bathroom is beautiful, the living area is exactly what we envisioned, and every detail was done with care. If you're looking for someone to finish or remodel your basement, we highly recommend Josh. He's honest, talented, and takes pride in his work. We would absolutely hire him again!

Three years ago, we planned to finish our partial basement. This was a smaller job and was hard to…read morefind a contractor willing to do the work. We talked to a few companies. Some were overpriced. Another was using pressure tactics while Beyond Basements looked over the situation. David of Beyond Basements cuts to the chase. Provided measurements and an estimate based on our input and requests. We didn't need the more upscale basement system, but framing and drywall along with the floor installation and a half wall by the stairs. Ceiling framed and drywalled (including access points). Probably the most custom work were two barn doors, one to reach the crawlspace and another to utility area. David made us aware of what we needed to pick out and gave us a timeline to help him and his crew have those materials to fit both of our schedules. He was present for a majority of the work if not doing it hands on himself. The best thing about working with David is his energy and pride about his work. He'll make it right. Beyond that you always knew where he stood. He keeps the lines of communication open. He always let us know when he was on his way and responded to any of our inquiries. He is always approachable, and his pricing was fair and rational. He definitely has a knack for quickly thinking and conveying the scope of all tasks related to the project. Fast-forward to this past autumn, we had a plumbing issue that didn't damage any of the finished work however a drainage pipe was beneath the new basement floor. We reached back out to David and built a plan for how to pull up the flooring to enable us to work with plumber and concrete cutting in order to replace the faulty pipe. A problem of this nature, communication is key given he had frontend work taking up floor, along with backend floor install, reinstalling doors and touching up areas that were damaged in the concrete dig and plumbing process. On top of that, he came up with a cosmetically creative way for an access to plumbing. He's skilled, detailed, and understands a lot of trades, covering many aspects of the basement install. He was understanding of our situation and needs. It's just great to come across someone with a passion and pride for their work that's collaborative and willing to share insights, designs, and construction expertise. Thank you David!!

When considering a home remodeling project there are so many things to take into account: cost,…read morequality, trust, workers and many more. My husband and I checked contractor reviews on line, and got several quotes . AMG Builders gave us a competent quote, and its owner Greg Lesiak very clearly explained the project, the amount of work, and time it will take to do the work. The job started on time, and all the workers: electrician, plumber, drywall personnel were courteous, professional and very competent. But what exceeded our expectation the most was Greg Lesiak. He listened attentively to our bathroom remodeling vision, and made suggestions. Because of his experience, his contribution was invaluable and spot on. Needless to say we are extremely happy with the end product. However, it would be unfair if we didn't again mention Greg. It became clear early on that he took pride in his work, and was very attentive to customer service. He quickly responded to text messages and emails. His personality, communication, and interpersonal skills are second to none. Additionally, he willingly, and at no cost, made some other minor repairs in the house. Because of supply chain issues, some of our fixtures didn't arrive on time, and we had to install temporary fixtures. Once the permanent fixtures arrived weeks later, Greg, again with a smile on his face, came to the house and replaced the temporary ones. As we get ready for our next home remodeling project, we have to look no further. We are actually looking forward to seeing Greg, and his team again. You can't go wrong with AMG Builders and Greg!

If we'd have known our bathroom remodel was going to turn out like it did, we'd have done it…read moreourselves. After having spent over a month in our "new" bathroom, all we can see are the mistakes and items left unfinished. Very early on concerns were raised about the poor installation job done on our tile and we were assured it would be remedied once it was grouted. We knew that would not be true and it was not. After all, how was grouting a bad installation job going to fix it? it isn't, it's just going to make it more permanent. When the installers ran short on our custom ordered tile, we were assured that even though it was going to be installed wrong, the tile seam in the shower corner would be matched up and that we wouldn't notice that it was installed incorrectly. It does not match up and it is very obvious it was installed incorrectly. In fact, it is the most common question asked: "Why did you have them do your new tile wrong? Wasn't it custom ordered?" The installation company came out to look and agreed to "fix" a few issues, but both Mike and the owner commented that we shouldn't look closer. We already had and we knew the tile installation job was chock-full of mistakes we will never unsee. Even the installer that was sent to "fix" the few items out of many, commented that he didn't know why they installed it like they did - confirming it was a bad installation all along. We hired what we thought was a professional to remodel our bathroom including new tile. We waited 10 weeks for custom-order tile only to have it installed very poorly and nobody willing to admit that it was a bad installation job or take responsibility. We're not the only ones that have noticed it. We've had plenty of comments like, "Why is the tile like that?", "Oh, did you do the tile yourself?", or "Did you have it installed like that so it looks old?" Nope, just got duped into paying for a poor installation job. And that's just the tile. To put it as kindly as possible, all-in-all this has been nothing short of a nightmare.
