Deck Installation

I am posting on behalf of my 77 year old mother who lives alone. I’m so happy to know there are honest companies in the world that would go above and beyond for her. Her review: I just had Mitten Made Basements replace my wooden front deck with Trex decking and am extremely happy with the results. The workmanship is excellent - they showed up, got it done and totally cleaned up the work site. The crew was wonderful. All the terms of the project are spelled out in the contract so I understood perfectly how the project would get done. In a world of "who can I trust?" I can confidently recommend Mitten Made.

They all are so professional and take pride in the work they do. Mitten Made remodeled my bathroom, and since this was the first time doing something like this, I had Mary in the office helping in what direction to go. They are finished with my bathroom, and now I am going to have them do my kitchen. If you are looking for a great contractor, this is the contractor to hire. Thank you!

Highly recommend Mitten Made Basements for any home remodel project. The team turned our dream basement into reality and can't wait to start creating memories with family and friends.

Professional from start to finish. Above and beyond expectations.

We moved into a new home and the basement was not finished. We contacted Mitten Made for help. Brian came by to take a first look and suggested replacing the ceiling, electric panel, sump pump, etc. He then sent in the General Manager Steve who came by on a Sunday to review our requirements in more detail. It was clear he was super knowledgeable in many areas and gave us suggestions for additional work, including fixing some of the exterior of the house, such as holes in the outer walls and under the gazebo, installing screen doors, replacing the gutters and more. A week into the job, a major rain storm caused water to leak in the basement. Steve came over right away and gave us some recommendations of the best way to deal with this unexpected issue. They were very patient with us while they explained all of the possible solutions. We never felt pressured. We decided to have them remove all the walls in the basement, seal all the holes and install a French Drain the front of the house. It was a lot more than we had originally planned but we didn't want any further suprises. After several months we now have the beautiful basement we had hoped for. A few pictures show the before and after. Thanks to Rob, Tom, Joe, Marcus and Bradley for all your great work.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mitten Made Basements for your home improvement needs. After closing on our house on June 30th, I searched for a reliable contractor nearby, and Mitten Made immediately stood out. From the moment I spoke with Steve, the field service manager, I felt confident in their professionalism and transparency. He kindly discussed our budget constraints and outlined the possible projects, ensuring we had realistic expectations. Although there were some delays in our project timeline, Steve consistently responded promptly to all my questions and concerns. Bradly, the electrician on our team, went above and beyond — returning the same evening to fix a socket shortage, even after a long drive home, ensuring our garage was safe before we left town for the weekend. Their dedication and exceptional customer service truly impressed me. Thanks to Mitten Made, my plumbing, electric panel, new gas generator, water softener system, water heater, and new gas lines are all properly installed now. I look forward to working with them again on future projects and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy, professional craftsmanship.

We finished a deck rebuild and added a polycarbonate structure overhead and are in love with our new deck. We have been able to extend our time outdoors and feel like we have a second family room! The builders and project team were phenomenal. Great communication and outstanding customer service. You won’t be disappointed if you do business with this company.

I highly recommend Mitten Made Basement for any home improvement projects, especially those requiring precision and attention to detail. Liam was the one assigned to help us. He recently installed a built-in fridge and panel doors for us—a task we initially thought would take 2 hours but ended up being an 11-hour endeavor. Throughout the process, Liam remained flexible, accepted feedback graciously, and demonstrated meticulous workmanship. Despite the unexpected complications, his commitment to delivering a high-quality result was evident. We are very pleased with the outcome and grateful for his hard work. On top of this, Brian and Liam are easy to work with. They were patient with our requests and remained positive when providing on feedback and solutions. We will definitely be booking more projects with Mitten Made Basement.

I've used this renovation team on several different projects, including a full kitchen redo with removal of soffits, installation of new cabinets and countertops and tile. They also updated my powder room with a new cabinet, sink and toilet, installed wood molding, trim and base boards in the hallway, and completed several paint jobs. I've been very happy with the work that they've done and highly recommend Mitten Made. Beyond receiving quality work, they have a good vision for design and solutions.

Great company to work with. I’m very fortunate I found them. Highly recommended for all your remodel and repair needs.

Great service, very professional we will use again.

Was very pleased with the quality of work done in my kitchen. Brian was easy to do business with and Alex was a gem who took pride in his tile laying ability. NICE JOB!!!

Mitten made Basements did another, fantastic remodel on our Bathroom. Mitten Made Basements did the first remodel on our Deck.

I'm amazed at the speed with which Mitten Made worked! They had to replace a toilet, flooring in my bathroom, and a big piece of ceiling. It was all done, paint included, in 2-3 days (it was so fast I can't remember!) Brian couldn't be nicer and more up front and honest. The workers Steve (a probable roller hockey opponent in the past), John (great playlist), and Melvin were all nice, talented, trustworthy, and speedy! I can't recall the office manager's name, I'm sorry, but she was wonderful as well. Tremendous communication all around. So impressed.

We are very pleased with the work Mitten Made did remodeling our two bathrooms. Their estimate was reasonable, they finished on budget, they were patient with our change orders, answered numerous questions via email, and everything came together well. We appreciated their work ethic, respectfulness and friendliness. It was a pleasure to have Brian, Liam, Viktor and Marcus in our home. Below are some before and after photographs.

I would definitely recommend Mitten Made Basements for your home improvement needs. Despite losing staff during my basement bathroom install Steve and Tom kept the project going. Their communication was excellent and they were always open to questions. Steve’s extensive experience allowed him to notice some safety issues not related to the original scope of work and those items were able to be corrected so I feel confident in the safety of my house. Everyone associated with Mitten Made was a true pleasure to work with, and I won’t hesitate to use them for future projects.

Amazing Tile work!!!!

Did a fantastic job on my basement! Top notch work and great to work with

Brian came to our rescue with our home in Northville! Finished repairs and spruced up our basement . Very fair pricing, hard working, responsible and did what he said he would do. Finished up in record time and we were awed by the results. We give him top rating and thank him for his assistance getting our home ready for market.

Communication was 5 star! High quality budget friendly. Seems like they do it all! Would recommend for any house project!

Communication was 5 star, quick to respond and very budget friendly high quality work! Would be a return customer for any project.

I can't say enough good things about Mitten Made. I was dreading going through the construction process but once they got rolling things came together pretty quickly. Brian's staff were so good at their jobs; personable, professional and tidy. Because this was a total custom job, the crew had some ideas on what would look or perform best and most of their suggestions were included, to the project's benefit. Prior to finding Mitten Made we sat through "dog and pony" shows from 2 or 3 "mall kiosk" type remodelers. The two estimates we received were twice (or more) the price Mitten Made charged....that was the deciding factor. We will use them again as soon as we nail down what our next project will be.

I had a very positive experience with Mitten Made, specifically the owner, Brian Surrett. He was on top of everything all the time and always made sure that things were progressing to my satisfaction. If things took a left turn, he verified before taking another step. Great work, but what I appreciated even more was the constant communication.

Mitten Made Renovations completely remodeled my kitchen from the top to the bottom, including the installation of a beautiful tile floor. They were meticulous and did a great job! Every time I walk into my kitchen, it makes me very happy.

Mitten came out and fixed an issue from a previous contractor. They were prompt, clean and did the job instead of trying to talk us into a full remodel! They were wonderful to work with.

We had such a great experience with this company! They installed a new deck for us. The price was competitive, the team was very good at communicating and the work they did was beautiful. We are super happy and will be using them again in the future.

Brian was great to work with. I had him install a quartz counter top. The communication and workmanship was excellent throughout the process.

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!

I had a water heater-related disaster in my laundry room, Mitten Made Renovations completely replaced the subfloor and floor of the room. I showed the before and after photos to my co-workers. 6 out of 6 co-workers agree: It looks great!

We chose Mitten Made Renovations after getting a fre quotes for our project. Brian was honest and transparent on expectations for both sides from the beginning. This continued throughout the process. The crew was great as well. The also continued to give us updates each day. Each evening they cleaned up the construction area way more than we expected. we are very happy with how our project turned out. We already plan to have Mitten Made do our next project spring 2024 and will continue to work with them. Highly recommend Brian and his crew.

Amazing work! We have had two large home projects completed by Brian and his crew. We highly recommend Mitten Made Basements LLC.

Mitten Made Basements did a fabulous job installing a new tub and tiling one of my bathrooms. They were very professional to work with from the estimating to the final finish of the project. We had a few bumps, which were easily handled and their tile installer, Victor, was simply outstanding in his approach and execution of the project. Very satisfied also with their price.

Couldn’t be happier with the project they did for me! Great work, very professional and everything came out beautiful! Would highly recommend!

If you want quality work you should be calling Mitten Made Basements, Brian and his team. Great communication, Along with workmanship.

Excellent company! Very pleased with our basement remodel. Brian was very good at listening to our needs and wants to come up with the perfect space for our family. Mary was great with communication and updates. His crew was professional, on time, very clean and did top quality work. We will be hiring them to do our master bathroom and kitchen. Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!

Affordable and stress free company to work with. Great communication and updates throughout the project. Project was completed quickly. Recommend them to anyone in the market for a new deck.

This company is the best. They are very professional. The job went smoothly, and kept us up to date on every step. The project came out better than we imagined. Love this company. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs an honest, trustworthy contractor.

Brian and his team did a great job with our bathroom renovation. We had to get creative with our small space and they were able to make it work in a short amount of time. Would definitely recommend!

Mitten made did a great job getting our front porch deck done! They were very professional and efficient. Got us in and the deck done in time for us to put our holiday lights up. Can’t thank them enough for how good it looks!

Mitten Made did a flat out great job on my new tile floor. It was a far from level cement floor, and they came out and made it level and beautiful. Not only was their quality of work top notch, they were always punctual, kept me in the loop, and left a clean job site. Really, what more can you ask for? Thanks guys!

We have worked with many contractors over the years. These guys are top notch. We have done two jobs with them to install safety railings to challenging exterior stairs at our lake home which is built into a hill. The stairs in question had unique turns and existing landscaping around them to work around. They got it done on a tight schedule and it looks gorgeous. In addition to quality work, they have superb communication. We will 100% be using them for future projects. So glad to have found someone reliable to work with in the area.

I’ve had many different contractors in my home over the years and this was by far my best experience! Mitten Made basements created a beautiful bathroom addition onto my home. I immediately felt Comfortable with Brian,, the owner, upon meeting him and discussing the job. This is a small company, including Tom and Liam whose work is superb! Subcontractors, Marcus and Tom are also amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome And completely trusted them in my home. Special thank you to Mary, for helping me create this masterpiece.

Brian and his team did a great job adding a bathroom to my basement. Everything looks great and the communication was excellent throughout the project.

Every detail was amazing in our remodeled master bath. I can't say enough to express our satisfaction. The tradespeople were all perfectionists and the owners bent over backwards to ensure a good result. This was a full custom job...but half the price (and twice the quality) of the advertised "3 day" bathroom makeovers.

Brian and his team did a phenomenal job, the quote was fair and very transparent. No surprises throughout the project, and we are thrilled with the outcome! I would highly recommend this company for your renovation projects.

Needed some work done in one of my bathrooms at home. Brian came out and gave me a good quote right away. Tom did the work and everything came out great. Between Mary in the office, Brian and Tom it was a pleasure doing business with them. Will gladly use them again as needed.

Steve, Robert and Dom were very helpful in coordinating with us on our vision. I appreciate the quick return on questions and the support with changes.

Great communication and excellent work.

Great experience with Mitten Made. Easy to communicate with fast response time. Reasonably priced and good work...bathroom looks great. Thanx!

We really wanted to go with a smaller local business for a master bathroom remodel and found Mitten Made on Nextdoor. It was just what you want in a smaller business- prompt responses, punctual and dedicated employees, actual care and concern from the boots on the ground installers to the owners and managers of the company. Exceptional tile work- honestly there were things Corey worried about more than I did! Any issues were addressed and explained by Brian. Amazing customer service and professionalism from everyone. Highly recommend them for any home improvements you are looking to do.

MMB did a basement remodel for us which turned out amazing! Top tier quality and communication from start to finish! Highly recommend this company!

Mitten made basements completed a kitchen, dinning room and hard wood remodel for me. Brian’s team was worderful to work with. Everyday Brian was communicating with me. We had trouble with the cabinets and Brian did everything to rectify the problem. I can’t say enough of how proud I am to show off the work he and his team completed .

They did a fantastic job redoing a bathroom for my family. Great people and very honest and trustworthy. Marcus specifically is an amazing, hardworking, and genuine guy. I was very satisfied with the outcome. Brian and his team did exactly what we asked for!

Great to work with and finished the job ahead of my expectations. Will continue to work with them in the future.

This is the best company to work with. Brian and crew were very professional. the job turned out great! they were the best from first meet to finish. they kept us updated on everything that would be happening. their work is excellent, finished in a timely manor. I will use them again on any project I have.

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!

We got a few quotes before we decided to go with Brian and his crew and the decision was mostly made due to Brian’s practical/down to earth/respectful attitude. We are SO glad we went with our gut because the team did wonderful. They were professional, on time, and respectful. We planned out everything we wanted and they delivered perfectly. The pictures certainly don’t do their work enough justice and I would recommend them (and have) to anyone who asks.

Brian and the team were excellent to work with. They helped me through all sorts of unexpected problems and were dedicated to getting my project done as quickly as possible as it is the only bathroom in the house. The quality of the work is top notch and the end result is beautiful! Highly recommend.

Affordable and stress free company to work with. Great communications and updates throughout the project. Recommend anyone in the market for a new deck to give them a chance.

Built us a great big deck for to enjoy. Very satisfied!

We recently had our deck replaced, and Phil was exceptional throughout the entire project. His workmanship, professionalism, and communication were all top-notch. The finished deck exceeded our expectations in both quality and appearance. It’s clear that Phil takes great pride in his craft. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend him and his team.

Brian and his talented, hard working team have finished updating my primary bath. From start through the end of project, Brian communicated consistently with me regarding schedule, and always answered my calls. He worked with me accommodating all my choices and made my vision come true. His professional team removed the old then installed new cabinets, tile, light fixtures, plumbing and electrical. The tile work is beautiful. I highly recommend Mitten Made Basement for your next home improvement project.

Couldn’t be happier with our new bathroom! The entire team was reliable, professional, and had great communication with us. They take pride in every aspect of their work and the quality of their work is top notch. Would definitely recommend Brian, Tom, and the whole team for your project!

Steve and crew from mitten made did a great job, answering all my questions as the project progressed. Very flexible and accommodating with multiple changes to our original project. Will definitely have them back for other projects and highly recommend to friends and family.

I had a water heater-related disaster in my laundry room, Mitten Made Renovations completely replaced the subfloor and floor of the room. I showed the before and after photos to my co-workers. 6 out of 6 co-workers agree: It looks great! And here are the aforementioned before and after photos.

Brian and Marcus were a pleasure to work with! Worked with my project to fit me in on short notice with a bit of a constrained schedule. We'll be calling them again for our next project!

We had 3 rooms painted with Mitten Made, they were so professional, super fast communication, very reasonable prices and Erik the painter did top quality work. Thank you Mitten Made!

Brian and his team are great! We did a complete remodel of a house that we recently purchased. His team did the tile work in two of our three bathrooms. Another company did the tile in the third bathroom. He workmanship is much better than the other company’s. He always called back when I had to leave a message. Not all of the other contractors did. My only negative is that it took longer than promise. Most of the delay was on the tile company, Virginia Tile in Farmington. He used them because we asked him. Neither of us will use them again. Some of the delay was on me. Some on Brain, who took another job that demanded more time than he realized. Despite the delay I would still hire him again. I really appreciate his integrity and his high quality craftsmanship.

Mitten Made Basements did such a wonderful job on my kitchen remodel! They got the job done fast and did excellent work! They also had the best pricing after I shopped around. I highly recommend.
