Susan Kroll
Our Deck needed repair and updating, contacted Mitten Made Basements. They removed the old deck and put in brand new deck all in 3 days. Mitten Made Basements is great too work with even when we added extra features at last minute. We asked them to work on our bathroom, and did another great job!
Dennis Lipski
After getting several quotes on completely finishing our basement, Brian was very competitive in winning our business. He succeeded, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. He set proper expectations and timelines, and all the different trade teams and all employees that had a part of the construction were extremely polite and hard working. Our project manager, Steve was here, working hard almost every day and sometimes the only person here getting the work done. At the end, we are just so incredibly happy with how our basement turned out, and we would highly recommend Mitten Made!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does a kitchen remodeling project typically take?

Can I stay in my home while you remodel the kitchen?
In most cases, homeowners can remain in their homes during a kitchen remodel. We protect adjacent rooms with dust barriers and use designated work zones to minimize disruption.
