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 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 .
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 whole home renovation typically take?
Timelines vary based on project scope, but most full-home overhauls in Oakland & Livingston counties run 12–20 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Your personalized schedule will account for permitting, material lead times, and coordinated multi-trade work.
Will I need to move out during the renovation?
For most remodels, homeowners can remain in their residence. We create protected work zones and maintain safe, clean pathways—but if extensive structural or system work makes living on-site impractical, we’ll discuss temporary relocation options during your consultation.
Do you handle all permits and inspections?
Yes. Our permit specialists manage every application and coordinate inspections with local jurisdictions in both Oakland and Livingston counties, ensuring your renovation complies with all building codes and avoids costly delays.
How do you manage multiple trades on a single project?
A dedicated project manager oversees scheduling and quality control for framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, painting and more. This single-point coordination ensures seamless handoffs, prevents downtime, and keeps your renovation on budget and on schedule.
What warranty and support do you offer after completion?
Every renovation is backed by our one-year labor warranty, covering workmanship on all installed systems and finishes. We also provide detailed maintenance recommendations and remain available for any follow-up questions or support needs long after the project wraps up.
