About us

***SUPER SERVICE AWARD WINNERS 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010*** At CMH Builders Inc., we consider ourselves a personal, one-stop shop basement remodeling and finishing company serving the Indianapolis area surrounding counties. With the vast majority of our work being completed by CMH Builders in-house employees themselves it allows the homeowner to become very familiar with who is working in their house day in and day out without have a parade of different subcontractors showing up to the house every day. This separates us from much of the competition. We take pride in being a smaller, more personal company. You will always have direct contact with your project manager and can be assured that each of our employees will take care of your needs in the same personal and professional manner as the owner. CMH Builders is different. Different in the way we approach remodeling, renovation and basement finishing projects. Different in the way we plan and present the project, and different in way we quote the project. Our unique “Total Project Estimate” ensures we have proposed the plan for the project that won’t leave you with questions and surprises at the end. We encourage you to compare our process, presentation and quote against any residential basement remodeler and finisher.  3D Renderings of your project  In House Designer  CMH Showroom offers multiple selection options  CMH field staff in-house  CMH Project Management Service from Start to Finish  2 yr CMH Warranty on workmanship  Only quality materials used on every project  Licensed, Bonded, Insured

The whole process went great!
Description of Work: We had CMH finish our full basement, including a bedroom, playroom, full bath, and wet bar. Everyone that we worked with was very friendly, professional and respectful of our home. They did really great work. We would definitely use them again!

Description of Work: CMH Builders finished our basement and added a full bath to the space. We are very happy with the results. They finished within the timeframe that they estimated, and relatively within budget. One of their decorators helped coordinate the color scheme, and everything came together quite nicely. I would highly recommend CMH Builders for any construction project!

Description of Work: The quality of just about everything CMH created was excellent. The design and selections process was great, though it was a bit too reliant on our vision instead of their expertise. |Our issues involved communication, timing, and mindfulness. Part of this is our fault, but they could have tended to things better. Examples: |-They put down floor protection every day when they came in, but after so many days dust and dirt still got everywhere. They could have done more to prevent this. |-They knocked a power adapter for our home alarm out of its socket on multiple occasions including once when it shattered and later triggered an alarm at 3AM when the battery failed. Their response was somewhat apathetic. |-The onsite workers were generally very professional and did a good job, but they weren't great or very interested in answering our questions or being concerned about the issues like the two above. |-Part of the project, dependent on a third party, dragged out almost 2 extra months to the project. CMH did apologize but better mgmt and selection of their suppliers could have prevented this, especially at this price. |

Response from CMH Builders Inc
We would like to thank this customer for their feedback, both positive and areas of improvement. We do put down drop cloths and runners from our entry point to the basement and apologize that excess dust and dirt may have spread while we were rolling them up daily. As far as the power adapter being knocked out, we do apologize that this happened, but the transformer of the power adapter was a heavy plug that was plugged into an outlet that was 7' above the floor and was not properly secured in the outlet so any vibration to that wall or any adjacent wall would cause the plug to fall out. To make sure that everyone remains on the same page during out project we have an assigned project manager on each and every project be the main point of contact for the homeowner so sometimes our field workers do not have all of the answers that homeowners are looking for an always refer them to speak with the project manager with any questions and/or concerns. This allows the project manager to have all of the information and allow them to best manage their projects and allows the field workers to concentrate on their trade. CMH Builders keeps a much work in-house as possible, but do choose to use a few sub-contractors on specialty portions of projects. This example, we used a custom cabinet maker to create this customer's bar because there were details in the design that cannot be purchased from our production cabinet supplier. Anytime that we use a sub-contractor we can run into some delays due to the production schedule of the sub-contractor. In this case the custom cabinet maker was dealing with an extremely full schedule as well as moving to a new location to help with production efficiency, that our cabinets were delayed. We stand by our sub-contractors as competent craftsman with quality being our #1 priority.

Description of Work: CMH remodeled our master bath. The quality of work was there, but it took twice as long to complete the project than what I was expecting. Workers would only be here two or maybe at the most 3 days each week. The workers that were here (especially Levin) did a great job, but were not scheduled consistently enough to complete the project in a timely manner. I have had a few minor problems after the job completion that I have had to contact the vendors directly to get resolved. Would give a B-.

Response from CMH Builders Inc
We would like to thank this member for their review about our company. We are glad to hear that the quality of work on the project was high. We apologize for the delays in the project, unfortunately this project was completed in the middle of CMH Builders moving office and showroom locations. We decided to make a company decision and move our office/showroom to the northwest side of town to be closer to the majority of our projects and better suit our customers. Unfortunately, the move required us to use our in house crews to help complete the move and remodel of new offices and set up our new showroom. We always appreciate honest feedback from our customers.

We met with Jared, who came out and measured the basement. He answered all my questions and was very through and punctual. Since he was going out of town, we received a quote the very next day, that was very detailed with the work they intended to do and breakdown of cost. We had received approx 20 quotes by that point but decided we liked Jared the best. We were then able to meet with the owner of the company and project manager Craig, who walked us through the intended project prior to starting. Within a couple of weeks, they got started. The guys who came to the house were very friendly and respectful. They worked quickly with high quality of work. They included me any time they had questions or suggestions. They cleaned up everyday prior to leaving. They guys always showed up right on time each morning and generally gave me an idea of what to expect the following day before leaving. The work was completed within the time frame that was initially given to us (4-5 weeks). We were very happy with the work performed and can not wait to use CMH builders for our next project
Description of Work: Finished a basement, approx 750 square feet. They framed, did drywall, carpet, installed can lights, installed dimmer switches to the lights, placed wires for speakers, and installed a small kitchen area with cabinets, granite counter tops, small sink and ceramic tile. Also, they replace the door to the basement with glass paneled door. Also placed french doors with transom window in upstairs study.

How did it go overall? EXCELLENT !!
Description of Work: CMH finished our basement. We shopped contractors ... CMH was the most professional in their demeanor and thorough in their presentation. We requested the finish detail to match the upstairs ... which CMH did perfectly. We modified the drawings provided ... CMH incorporated our changes with no difficulty or complaints. We specified a "must finish" date ... CMH beat it! We found carpeting at a better price than CMH's quote ... they matched the price with the identical carpet. We asked for an additional quote on a shop area within the basement floor plan ... CMH included and completed it. CMH was unobtrusive, minimized dust in the living space upstairs, and cleaned up completely upon project completion. CMH's employees were punctual, polite and protected existing flooring and walls. CMH was flexible, allowing us to modify or add features as the project moved along when feasible.

Professional, reasonable, reliable. Salesperson went through a detailed explanation of the project offering suggestions and accommodating all requests. Builders were timely, went extra efforts to keep our home clean and left us with quality semi-custom built-ins.
Description of Work: We had CMH builders install semi custom cabinets and bookshelves around our fireplace. The project included cabinet installation, running cable and electrical lines, working with a third party to obtain, cut and deliver granite slabs for the cabinetry tops, installing accent lighting, and repairing drywall.

We couldn't be more happy with our new kitchen. It doesn't even feel like we're living in the same house. Anytime you commit to such a major remodel, and you have to live without your kitchen for an extended period of time, it can be challenging and stressful. However Craig and all the guys at CMH did an excellent job of trying to minimize the stress and inconvenience for us. They were always punctual, responsive and very clean. I now understand why Craig warned us that when you take on a job this large, there will be some unforeseen issues that can't be predicted. CMH did a very good job of handling these "bumps in the road" as they happened, they were very good at involving us with decisions that had to be made and ensuring that we're happy with the end result. The overall job took approx. 7 weeks to complete, which I would say is pretty reasonable for the work they did.
Description of Work: CMH builders completed a major kitchen remodel for us. The original kitchen was a small "U" shaped kitchen, that was tight even for two people. The new kitchen is a much more "open" design with a center island. Overall layout and traffic flow in the kitchen is tremendously improved, storage space has been greatly improved as well. CMH completed all phases of the remodel other than appliance installation and granite installation. It was a complete remodel that consisted of demolition of the old kitchen, relocating two interior walls, rerouting hvac duct work, drywall, rewiring and relocating electrical outlets and light fixtures, cabinet installation, ceramic and hardwood flooring installation, finish/trim carpentry and paint.

The wood was stained at CMH, and the measuring, cutting and install was done at my home. The 1st day consisted of painting the basement, removing the carpet on the stairs, removing the trim along the stairs and removing the boards underneath the carpet. The 2nd and 3rd day consisted of finishing up painting of the basement, and the installation of the stained wood stairs and trim. The polyurethane coat was applied at the end, allowed to dry for 24 hours, and then applied again. Everything looks gorgeous!
Description of Work: We had the carpeted stairs leading to the basement as well as the painted trim removed, and had CMH install stained wood stairs with wood trim. We also had them repaint our basement room.

When we first contacted CMH Builders in April/May 2010, their project manager, Jared, came by to find out what we wanted and to take measurements. In a few days, he emailed a drawing with measurements of how the basement would look to see if it matched our needs/wants. After that, we scheduled another meeting with Jared and the owner Craig to go over how long each phase of the project would take and the cost of each phase. We also agreed to pay in 4 installments after certain phases were completed. They were very patient in explaining why certain things had to be done and in what order. They went over their estimate with us and explained exactly the material being used. They also assured us that everyone that works for CMH are employees and to contact Jared with any problems. They told us they would let us know when we were put on their schedule, and that this project would take 6 to 8 weeks. They started our basement refinishing project in mid-July 2010 and we paid the final installment mid-Sept 2010. The employees showed up every day around 8 AM and were more than willing to come talk to me if they had a question. They were knowledgeable, talented and friendly. The work was excellent and the room turned out better than we could have imagined. This project could easily have overwhelmed us, but CMH Builders took care of everything. Due to Jared helping to keep us within our budget, our 4th installment and final payment was $3000 less than expected so we were very pleased. We would highly recommend CMH Builders to anyone interested in refinishing their basement.
Description of Work: My husband and I wanted our basement refinished into a home theatre/gaming room. Previously. our basement just had your typical grey concrete floor with cinderblock walls and 2 metal poles. CMH Builders did everything that was needed to turn our basement into a wonderful home theatre/gaming room including installing a wetbar and bathroom.They stained the concrete floor a beautiful brown color, installed all the electrical based on our home theatre and lighting needs, created columns out of the poles, installed drywalls and ceiling, painted the drywall, and installed wet bar and bathroom fixtures. It looks gorgeous and is the perfect place for entertaining.

It went really well. It was really good. We liked their attention to detail. They were willing to draw a very functional plan. They stuck to the budget that we discusses. I made some change orders but those were understandable. They were able to be more full service than some other people were. I think their price was competitive. The people that were cheaper than them, I was a little scared of. They were respectful of the job site.
Description of Work: They tore down an old deck and put up a better bigger one.

They began the job on Monday morning, right at 8:00am. They quickly got to work. After some of the walls were put in place, we realized that there had been some miscommunication and a door was not put on right. They quickly fixed the situation, tearing down some walls and making the necessary adjustments. All was made right, with no problems. Each day, they left the work area all cleaned up, which I appreciated, since I had three small kids.We did all our own painting to save money, so they were done with the process by Friday and they vaccuumed and cleaned everything up. I was very pleased with the entire job and the workmen. I would recommend them to anyone. Their price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: We wanted to convert an open bonus/loft room into a bedroom and add a small linen closet. We needed to add a half wall, walls for a closet and linen closet, and doors. Rob came recommended to me from a friend in the home building business. Rob came out and gave a very professional estimate, explaining things to me as we discussed the process, and answering questions that I had. Before the job started he came out again and we went through measurements, making changes, and completing last minute details.
