Home Base Improvement & Construction

UPDATE: January 2016, and we are more delighted than we were in the first review. The more we use the shower the closer we see things, and the more certain we are that we made the right choice. Even simple things like the grout joints are excellent.
My wife is very style conscious, but always worried about budget, so she tends to take a good year to pick something out for the house because every time she sees something she likes, she thinks it’s too expensive, and when she sees what’s available in her desired price point, none of it matches her ‘vision’. This is where Home Base REALLY made the difference.
My wife scoured all the big box stores, tile shops, and websites, but could never find the right tile at the right price. She didn’t think it would get any better with Home Base when I told her she had a $ 5.00 per square foot tile allowance in the overall bid. Home Base sent her to this area where there are numerous tile and stone fabricators and wholesalers, the same ones that supply all the retailers, but with an excellent and long-​time relationship with Home Base, and my wife was overwhelmed with the selection of the higher end tiles and granite’s she envisioned, all in the price range she wanted. No one else could have TOUCHED the deal we got. We know because we looked very hard. Our shower is gorgeous.
Not only that, but they managed to fit in a built-​in bench with a granite top and matching granite threshold for the same price others bid without a bench and no granite of any kind, AND for just a few bucks more we purchased a custom cut piece of the same granite to make a countertop for my wife’s new dressing area. Now how cool is that?
One more thing, and I think this is important: when I went to the Home Base office to give them the final payment for the completed job, I walked to the back of the store and looked in to the room where their big job board is, this is where all the projects they have going on or coming up are posted and scheduled, and I was blown away. TONS of jobs for all kinds of work: basements, remodels, showers and bathrooms, kitchens… Everything. What’s more, with all these things on their plate they still manage to be as responsive, thorough, and overdelivering on their underpromises, I cannot recommend them any more highly.
What I CAN do, however, is offer up my home to anyone who wants to come out to Grosse Ile and see the work for themselves. I believe you can click on my name and send me a message. Please do. We’ll arrange a time for you to come and look and ask all the questions you want.
We have more work we want to and Home Base will be our no-​bid choice. They get the work without question.

I had Home Base & Construction do work on my house in 2011. Terrible job! Took two weeks to roof my house and garage and I was told it would take less than a week. Had some repairs done to my basement sill and when they put the door back on, it wasn’t square. The moldings were put on wrong and I had to fix everything they did. They put several dents in my siding and scratched a window. The owner came out and used a stone to try and get the scratch out and just screwed it up more. But besides that, they only had to come out twice to stop a leak in my roof.

I wrote a review but somebody «pulled» it. Truthfully, they remodelled my Kitchen and forgot to install Drawers! No place to put my silverware! No utility (junk) drawer! Now what? They said it would take about a week. Four months later, they are NOT done. What do you think?
