After meeting with loads of contractors, we decided to spend the money to put in a basement. We are very pleased with our new space. It's hard to put a huge chunk of money in a stranger's hand and hope that you made the right decision. Thankfully we picked the right company!!!! I totally recommend these guys!!!

We would highly recommend Mike Westgaard and Echelon Builders.

Mike is a pleasure to work with in every sense of the word. He is knowledgeable, detail-conscious, and flexible. We wanted to do a portion of the work ourselves, and Mike was very willing to work with us on that basis, despite the challenges we know that handed him. He never made us feel we were too small a job to be important or that our wish to handle some work ourselves was a nuisance or hindrance. He was always ready and willing to pitch in or pull back according to our wishes. His input from design to structure to finishing was invaluable, and I always knew I could trust his opinion. We had the same experience with each and every crew he contracted work out to. They were all friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of us and our home---even down to our obnoxious barking dog. We had complete trust that what any of them suggested or did was worth doing and done right. In a situation that can be stressful, frustrating and exhausting, Mike is calm, competent, and reassuring, and his work is definitely top grade. His patient attention to every small detail is amazing and shows in the finished product. There is not enough I can say when praising Mike, both personally and professionally

I agree with everything the other reviewer said here…read more Chris and team worked on my upstairs remodel in 2022 and 2023, Hiring them is one of the worse mistakes I've ever made as a homeowner. The work they did was amazingly poor, the framing was terrible, the drywall work was extremely substandard, the plumbing was also poorly done, and some had to be removed and re-worked. In addition the general communication and follow up from Chris and his team left a lot to be desired. The drywall and framing were done so poorly that I've had to pay thousands of dollars to another contractor to work around the terrible job that was done. The walls are not straight, flat, or plumb and there are huge divots on the wall that cause the baseboard trim to look terrible. This is on top of paying top dollar for the work that took far too long. To properly be a client of their you need to be an expert general contractor yourself, and an expert in all trades so that you can have them redo everything.
