We had Terry remodel our 1940s bathroom - electrical, plumbing, tile, tub, painting, toilet, sink,…read morelighting, cabinet, exhaust fan, grab bars, counter, plaster repair - the works! It's now been about 4 months since he finished the work and each day I look at our new bathroom and think "wow!' He did a great job! He was patient and always responsive to any questions or issues, and cleaned up each day. Great workmanship too. He started out by measuring and answering any questions we had, offering ideas here and there but letting us make our own decisions. Unlike some other contractors, he did not give fancy 3D architectural renderings, nor did he accompany us to each supplier to pick out products. Here's what his process was, which was perfect for us. We received a proposal contract which listed each item or task, along with a cost allowance for each item. If we chose something more expensive than its allowance, the final price would reflect the increase. If what we chose cost less than the allowance, the final cost would go down by that much. So we had a bottom line price from the start and would have the final decision on expenses. He then also gave us a list of his suggested suppliers from which to pick out all of the products. We worked with those suppliers to make selections at their respective showrooms (they work with TLC regularly), and they forwarded our selections to Terry. A few selections we made were from suppliers not on his list, which was fine, but the places he suggested were where most of the items came from. When all selections were made, he provided us with a revised proposal contract reflecting our selections and revised costs. Then he - not us - did the ordering from each vendor to insure that all of the parts and pieces fit together and would work, plus that way his contractor discount was applied. His final contract to us was transparent and showed all prices. No additional markups, no change order fees, no nonsense. If someone wants computer-generated architectural renderings, having him present at each supplier meeting, one central showroom where every needed product and samples are all in one place, then this type of contractor isn't likely for you. If however, you want a remodeling contractor that not only provides the quote but also does the actual work himself, with reliable suppliers that work with him, with a fair price and a minimal amount of stress (if that's possible lol), then TLC's a good choice. Would we recommend TLC Contracting? If you haven't it already guessed: the answer is absolutely!

He advised us that there was no need to fix any of the cracks he saw but advised us to clean the stain and keep an eye out for any water intrusion. He was very friendly & honest and we immediately felt comfortable with him. Should our basement require work at some point, American Foundation will immediately get our business. Here's the rub: we had another quote two days before Jayme from a nationally franchised waterproofing company who wanted $20K to "solve the problem." It's comforting to know contractors like Jayme are out there!

Having said that Verrette was great for us. We needed a quote for basement supports on two walls due to bowing. $1000 to $3000 less than others. Didnt try to sell us on the other two walls. Lined up timely date since we needed to close soon. Did great job. Buyer asked weird questions about some legacy supports asked by overzealous inspector. They came out no charge, analyzed and gave letterhead explanation of why these were not part of house support...mis-understood by buyers inspector. Not part of their original work but no charge....and also done very timely. So straight with us...and good work.

**Verette Construction Review**…read more On Thursday, May 7, 2026, I met with Verette Construction at my home to obtain a quote for drain tile installation. The initial meeting went well, so on July 7, 2026, at 8:08 a.m., I called to request a quote for some additional work. An appointment was scheduled for July 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. When no one arrived, I called the office at 11:28 a.m. and was told there had been an emergency call and that no one would be coming out that day. While emergencies happen, no one contacted me to let me know that no one would be showing up. We rescheduled for Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, the second appointment went much the same way. At 3:11 p.m., after no one had arrived, I called the office and was told he was likely on his way from another job site. By 3:38 p.m., I called again because no one had shown up, and the office said they would check on his whereabouts. At 3:41 p.m., I received a return call informing me that he "thought it was tomorrow." At that point, I decided to move forward with another contractor. What disappointed me most wasn't that appointments had to be rescheduled or that someone was running late--it was the complete lack of communication. A phone call or text to let me know about the delay or scheduling issue would have gone a long way and would have demonstrated respect for my time. On a positive note, Verette Construction does offer a veteran discount. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much if they can't consistently show up for scheduled appointments or communicate with their customers. I've decided to try Badger Basement Systems instead and hope the experience is more professional.

I had Miles and his team redo our floors at our spa. Our previous contractor did not seal the…read morefloors properly and the top coat peeled off, dirty would get inside the parts that were flaking off, and it caused heavy staining. The epoxy on the cove base also started chipping off. After meeting with about 8 different contractors, we found Miles to be the most knowledgable and careful about our floors. One contractor said he and his one employee could do all 10 of our rooms in one week. Miles on the other hand said he would only be able to do 2 rooms in one week. We really liked this approach because we would rather have the floors done correctly than hastily done. Miles recommended a mortar cove rather than using speed cove. It is more difficult to apply but more robust. He was the only contractor who recommended the mortar cove and it gives the floor a nice seamless look. Four of the epoxy companies we met with wouldn't even give us a quote because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to offer a watertight seal and because the square footage was too small. As a float spa, we hose down the floor all day long. Dornbrook's estimate was very reasonable, we got another estimate from a contractor that was twice as much. Abi handles all the emails for Dornbrook and she replies within minutes sometimes even on weekends when we have last minute questions. We also liked that Miles told us about a client where there was a small blemish on the floor and the client asked them to fix it but they had to redo the entire floor to fix the one blemish. Not a lot of contractors would admit to something like that with a prospective client but in the epoxy industry, there are a lot of things that can happen- such as too much moisture/outgassing in the concrete. Miles and his staff were on the job site every day. The previous company I used had hired some college kids to help with the floors. I hope my mistakes will save you the headache of going with the wrong contractor. I've already scheduled for May to have them do the rest of my rooms. I would recommend securing your slot early because they can be booked up several months in advance. If you would like to take a look at our floors, our spa is open to the public. Feel free to call Float Oasis in Brookfield to schedule a time 262-317-9100. The pictures below show the before pics with the top coat peeling and staining. Then the work in progress as they grind the floor and do the mortar cove, and finally the finished product.

From the…read morevery first conversation, he demonstrated professionalism, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to bringing our space back to life. Every step of the process was handled with care. He provided clear communication, thoughtful recommendations, and a level of craftsmanship that's increasingly rare. He didn't just "fix" things; he restored them with precision and pride, making the final result even better than the original. The team was punctual, respectful of our home, and incredibly organized. They kept the project on schedule, maintained a clean work environment, and made sure we understood what was happening at each stage. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone looking for top‑tier restoration work. If you want quality, integrity, and beautiful results, this is the contractor you want.

Marcus and his assistant, Devon, came out yesterday to repair our back deck. The deck was built 20…read moreyears ago without professional guidance, so some of the woodwork was kind of wonky. The top part of the deck, made from teak, is still fine, but all the rails (aside from the main supports) and bottom of the stairs were pine, so many of those parts needed replacement due to wood rot. Additionally, the slats that framed around the porch weren't attached properly, so Marcus took them all off and reattached them correctly and securely. He also removed an electrical outlet that wasn't working and capped off the wiring. The baseboards were also replaced with PVC. It was a full-day project, and these guys worked hard. I can't say enough for their professionalism--from the quality work they did (plus explaining everything to me), and beginning and ending the day with cordial words. Such politeness is not a give in these days. The day began with a friendly greeting and ended in the evening with, "Have a nice night," not to mention polite interactions throughout the day. They also cleaned up perfectly, removing all the old wood. Even though they went beyond what we discussed, and Marcus did the extra work (wooden slats that weren't attached properly and a piece of wood behind the stairs that was replaced with PVC which we hadn't talked about initially) Marcus stuck to his original estimate. ***I would recommend these guys without reservation.*** I will also add that their pricing was very fair with an estimate given ahead of time. It was an stress-free day. Thanks Marcus and Devon.
