Basement Remodel, Winter 2024

326292fda0f73374840dd803aea46e51

Our house needed a basement office, bedroom, and bathroom with a tile shower. Remodeling jobs’ hidden surprises requires a lot of problem solving so I was initially nervous about hiring landscapers to do interior work. We have great respect and admiration for landscapers, but they are different skill sets. Big difference between limestone steps and crown molding. Their bid was competitive, neither low nor high. Joey Larson, their estimator was clear about what jobs they do, and did say
they were slow, not a bad thing. We had time for the job.

The Edina building inspectors, who had failed previous contractors work, liked their complex framing. They did an excellent job figuring out and installing window surrounds and crown molding in two difficult rooms. The meticulous tile work in the bathroom brings us joy.

We were home working, upstairs, during the entire job and heard the crew downstairs. It was actually fun to overhear their harmonious interactions. Excellent people to have in our house for an extended period of time. As a major complement, when they finished, we missed having them in our basement.
