Local Reviews & Homeowner Feedback

  • Andy was fantastic to work with. He was timely, honest, and open to all my wild ideas. He truly turned our bathroom from doom and gloom to a 5 star resort! After that, we knew our basement remodel couldn’t be completed by anyone else. The functionality, craftsmanship and finishing details made our basement a perfect spot for family entertaining. I would recommend Andy time and time again! You will not be disappointed.

  • Andy and Tim did a great job building a dog shower in my house. I’m not the best with visualizing design and layout but they helped me through that process with drawings and pictures based on all their experience. I was able to pick out my tile and finishes. The communication was great throughout the project and I am very happy with the final product. Will definitely use them again if I finish my basement or re-do any bathrooms.

    Natalie F.

  • Tim & Andy do an awesome job!!! From talking about the concept thru the finished product. They helped us older folks carry things up and down from the basement, cleaned up every day they were here, kept us up to date on the work as it was done and what came next. Conscientious, professional, willing to make changes and adapt as the work progresses. There aren't words to describe how happy we are with the finished product. I would recommend CBC to anyone looking to remodel or finish their basement.

    Randy D.

  • Andy Leider renovated 2 bathrooms and our hallway for me. His work is high quality and he is dependable. He listens and finds solutions. He worked on our projects until we were completely satisfied. I highly recommend him.
