Hello! My husband and I are seeking a professional contractor, possibly someone whom has been laid off and needs some extra cash but also someone who can give references, to help us finish our basement. We are not looking to make this an expensive project.

What can I do next?

Tiffany,

I have a great referral for you. I used Vally from Ariel Remodeling. They did such a great job with my basement. He is in business for quite a while and I only heard good things about him. He came recommended from a friend of mine and I also looked up his website and testimonials. I am so happy we went with him. Tell him you got his information from M. (Crystal Lake). I know he'll remember me.

You can reach him directly at: ###-###-####.
They have a webpage: http://www.ArielRemodeling.com

Don't forget to print out the coupon they have on the website.

I highly recommend our contractor ... he works out of the North suburbs, but I know he has done jobs thoughout the Chicagoland area. I trust him in my home and around my children, he does great work and has branched out to do his own thing.

Employeed or otherwise, you won't get a "contractor" cheap. During the winter when work slows down for all construction you'll have a better chance of finding someone insured to do the work for you. I used a man named Nino Macias. He owns his own business (remodeling, electric, drywall, all of it)and does beautiful work. I can recommend him and I'm sure he has 1000 reccommendations. His phone ####-###-####. Tell him Mrs. Hornbaker recommended him.

We used Vally from Ariel Remodeling as well. He has really good prices and he does such a quality job. He remodeled our bathroom and it looks so good. Now we want to use him for our kitchen as well. I just recommended him to my neighbors since they want to put in hardwood floors.

Ted Diedrich Construction, hands down. His work is wonderful, his prices can't be beat and he is absolutely trustworthy and a great guy, to boot. ###-###-####. What I also like about him is that if I changed my mind mid-project he would happily accomodate and/or give alternate suggestions. He is out of McHenry County.
