What Manor Homeowners Are Saying
What Sets Booher Basement Solutions Apart
Union-Trained Craftsmanship
Nick earned his Journeyman card through the Carpenter’s Union, and that training shows in framing that sits square, finishes that hold up, and details that don’t get skipped when a deadline is close.
One Point of Contact
Nick handles the estimate, stays on the job during the build, and does the final walkthrough himself. When something comes up mid-project, you’re talking to the person making the call.
Custom Design and Layout Planning
We don’t hand you a template floor plan. Every basement design gets planned around your specific space, your existing mechanicals, and how you intend to use it before any framing starts.
No Surprises on the Invoice
The quote we give you covers the full scope: materials, labor, permits, and inspections. Nothing gets added after you sign unless you change the scope yourself.
1-Year Workmanship Warranty
Every completed basement remodel is backed by a 1-year warranty on workmanship. If something isn’t right after we finish, we come back and fix it.
