Lifestyle Basements|Kitchens

Lifestyle basements does nice work, however the communication and scheduling with the subcontractors was extremely poor as well as payment issues which led to requiring payment in full before doing any work and eventuality the loss of a subcontractor.

The team at Lifestyle Basements completed a two phase project in my home; finishing our barren basement and adding a desperately needed mudroom. Our basement was a relatively standard remodel, however the outstanding customer service provided in the preparation, design, redesign and completion of the basement resulted in a beautiful living space that is more valued than ever imagined and the quality of the work is well above standard (as I can attest to because we recently had water damage from a broken sump pump and the insurance contractors workmanship was well below that of Lifestyle's original work). Our addition to our mudroom is my pride and joy (not to mention the envy of all who see it). With three very active children in multiple sports each season, you can imagine how much a mudroom gets used. Lifestyle worked tirelessly with me to create the space that our family needed and was patient and creative with my vision of inventing the functions I desired, such as individual fans in each child's cubby to air dry wet gloves, boots, etc. on demand - yes, I said 'on demand'... Just a push of a button and wet gloves and shoes dry with no effort. Living in Minnesota, this feature is extremely useful! We also designed a special "sweep-away" built directly into the floor that is a debris receptacle where I can easily sweep up the mudroom floor with very little effort and the dirt simply disappears - just like that. There are many more special features of my mudroom that make this area of my home my "happy place", but rest assured, my mudroom is a beautiful piece of work - in all aspects! I could write much more about it, but I fear this webpage might not accommodate the verbosity of my satisfaction... and my three active children are now in need of their chauffeur - I mean their mom. Overall, I can't express adequately how thrilled I am with the experience of building and remodeling with Lifestyle Basements. Their attention to satisfying me and their dedication to getting the job done right are second to none.

1. We loved LB from the very first meeting. They came to our house, brought their computers/software so we didn't need to hire sitters to plan our basement project. 2. Molly and Dan were fun to work with and very professional, they came to our meetings prepared and had many ideas to guide us in the right direction. Molly came up with some great ideas on design that we are so happy about! From our ceiling detail to the tile color to the light choices, we love it all! 3. Our project manager, Ryan, was awesome. He was approachable, timely, respectful of our home and very easy to work with. He is also super organized and like all other members of LB, he too was flexible with lasting the add ons/changes etc.

We had a fantastic experience working with Molly & Dan at Lifestyle Basements|Kitchens. They provided multiple, initial designs and were able to share them with us as virtual "walk throughs" - we really were able to see what the space was going to look like right off the bat. We ended up choosing one of their designs that was completely different than how we had always expected to finish the space and we LOVE it! The project itself was completed on time and exceeded our expectations - it's beautiful. I would highly recommend Lifestyle Basements|Kitchens.

We hired Lifestyle Basements to finish our unfinished basement and we were extremely pleased with the entire experience. They provided us with two design options – one layout that we requested and one layout that they provided as an alternative option. We liked the alternative option so much that we moved forward with that design (Molly is a very talented designer AND she was a pleasure to work with). Both options presented were over our budget but they helped us to edit and we were very happy with the final plan (we didn’t feel as if we compromised at all). They finished the project on time, within our budget and we were very happy with the quality of the work and the final result. We LOVE our new basement! If you are considering hiring them, don’t hesitate! I’m confident that you will be more than satisfied. They did a great job!

My husband and I were looking for contractors for our basement. Lifestyle Basements was our final choice. Everyone we dealt with was professional and very knowledgeable. Molly our designer helped us with the layout (especially the bathroom) and decorating of the basement. It was great to see this come together! And Ryan was very thorough and helped keep the project running smoothly. My family just loves the basement! Everyone we have had to the house just say how beautiful it is. We would recommend Lifestyle Basements to friends and family. Thanks so much! Mary and John G.

Just finished up a project with Lifestyle, couldn't be happier. I was referred to them by a friend, which was meaningful, but also completed my own due diligence with other potential service providers to assess cost, quality and "gut-feeling". Lifestyle was an easy choice once I lined them all up. Our basement project included a bar, recreation room and in general a cozy area for my family (intended for daily use). I personally have zero creativity, so leaning on Lifestyle to present out-of-the-box ideas for me to chose between was huge. During the design phase, Molly (designer) and Dan (owner) were very genuine, each presenting their views independently. When I asked for their opinion, I got it. The project manager was an absolute work-horse; good enough is not in his dictionary, he was incredibly detailed and exceeded my expectations from a quality standpoint. Very happy with my decision and final outcome, would recommend in a second if someone told me they were thinking about a basement project

Lifestyle Basements was an absolute pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our basement project turned out great and continues to get rave reviews. After meeting with other reputable general contractors and seeing their generic plans, my wife and I could never really get comfortable pulling the trigger on a fairly expensive project. That all changed once Molly made her presentation. The attention to detail in her design was remarkable and seeing our future basement in 3D made all the difference in the world. We actually signed up that evening and never once regretted our decision. Once construction began, Ryan and the sub contractors were always very professional, courteous, clean and timely. Also, all deadlines were met and any requests for minor modifications were always met with a "no problem". Our project was completed approximately 15 months ago and we have not had a single issue with the workmanship. Our only call to Lifestyle has been to refer friends. In fact, good friends just completed their basement and it turned out awesome. They continue to thank us for refering them to Lifestyle. We have nothing but the highest marks for Lifestyle Basements. We will likely have them back in the near future to remodel our kitchen as well.

Molly and the team at Lifestyle Basements are amazing! From the first meeting we had, they listened carefully to everything we said we wanted, and came back with a plan that exceeded our expectations. Molly's sense of style, and ability to adjust the plan based on our ever-changing needs were huge assets. She was flexible, accommodating, and also realistic with us about what our changes would do to our budget. She also was willing to incorporate our ideas, even if they required major changes to her plan. It was clear that Molly's goal was for us to get exactly what we wanted, and she accomplished her goal! We highly recommend the team at Lifestyle Basements!

Lifestyle Basements finished our basement. The completed work included a full bar, biliards area, theater area, bathroom and a bedroom/workout room. We are absolutely thrilled with the completed project! Everyone that we have worked with has been extremely professional and has a great eye for detail. The fantastic design of the basement truly makes our lower level an extension of our home. We would highly recommend Lifestyle Basements to others.
