Basement Remodelers Near Albany

“Jim Cillis is a joy to work with! He listens and understands what homebuilders and home remodelers (we've done both with him) are asking for. He maintains constant oversight for the wants and needs of the homeowners. When changes are necessary, he works closely with you to get the desired results in a timely manner with as little extra cost as possible. He's always available to offer advise if you're unsure of which direction to go - there are so many choices to make when building/renovating! Jim and his contractors use quality materials, and their craftsmanship is superb. Our home turned out exactly how we wanted and it will stand the test of time for quality construction and styling. Thanks Jim!”

“We needed help with a few renovations in our new house, and Beatty Elite was recommended. Mike answered all my questions and concerns immediately and professionally as we wanted to replace two sliding doors to our patio. Worked with our schedule and completed the project on time and under budget. I look forward to working with them on our next projects.”

“If you notice a gap in Big Span's reviews, it's likely because they've been working with us for the past 15 months. A complete renovation of our recently purchased Midcentury Brick ranch & we feel so incredibly lucky to have met them. No exaggerating when I say there isn’t a single part or surface of the home that Big Span hasn’t touched. It was tired & stuck in the 70s/80s, complete with a carpeted kitchen! It needed extensive updating. Not a huge house ,main floor at 1800 sq ft, but we are very detail & quality oriented . Wanting to vault the ceiling & recreate some of the clean, modern lines from its past. Rob and Laura worked their magic, gradually bringing the house back to life & realizing our dream of angles, clean corners, & smooth walls. They removed ,rebuilt &insulated the ceiling , creating an open vault with straight lines and stunning, surfaces. Rebuilding the lounge fireplace to a custom shape and tilework, renovated & painted a second fireplace, restored all the original wood floors & beautifully tiled others. Their tile work is exceptional, with flat ,true surfaces. They created a shower room from scratch & completely redid a full bath, tiling both , including niches, & installing the tub, sinks, shower & door. Replacing every window /door in the house, including three high-quality barn doors & the front entry, painting them along with all walls to our custom palette. New windows were cut out of brick walls to bring in light, & walls were taken down &reinforced to create an open lounge. They crafted sharp-cornered, beautifully smooth walls everywhere, along with quality baseboard installation & duct covers. They built custom cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the lounge &study, rebuilt /framed our custom closets in the bedrooms, installed and hand-painted all new maple kitchen cabinets , built a custom island, installed a cook’s sink& dishwasher, built and installed a hood vent system, and created a pantry/drinks nook. Their attention to detail & genuine intent to create your vision is second to none. They are fully invested, offering good, better & best price solutions to give options that work within your budget. The wealth of experience they bring is immense, no question was left unanswered or out of scope. Generous with their knowledge taking time time to help us understand everything. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. I think you will agree, looking at the before & after shots, they did an outstanding job. We will be forever grateful for their hard work, fair prices, & total dedication to our home , This phase & our time together is coming to an end soon, so if you have need of a totally trustworthy talented team, reach out to them.
