J.P. Grabenstetter Construction

I would highly recommend John and his entire Team!

I would highly recommend John and his entire Team! JP Grabenstetter Construction was referred to us by close friends after their basement project turned out exceptional, and we wanted the same for our basement. The entire process was extremely easy and budget friendly. Not only was the craftmanship top notch, everyone on John's team was extremely professional and courteous. Even the little things like making sure there was always paper down to prevent footprints on our floors and keeping a very neat and orderly workspace throughout the process, were extremely appreciated. As with any large home project, some unforeseen challenges arose--- but John was great at coming up with creative solutions without breaking the budget. This basement project could not have turned out any better!

The first time John stepped into our home I had a feeling we were good hands. His knowledge, expertise, and energy stood out. We were never pressured into signing a contract or paying any money upfront. Once we decided to go with JP Grabenstetter, a fully-detailed construction and payment plan was setup along with a start date! No details were left out and a trust was established. The entire project took 6 ½ weeks from start to finish. Which I still cannot believe it went that fast. John kept his word on everything he promised and the communication was above and beyond. His workers and trades were punctual, friendly, courteous, and professional. The workmanship was done clean and done well. Simply put, John and his crew did everything he said he was going to do from day one until the job was complete. John and his company were very reliable and easy to work with. We are very pleased with our new basement and highly recommend using JP Grabenstetter!! Jon and Lauren â Olmsted Falls, OH

We recently had JP Grabenstetter Construction finish our basement. After recently moving with a two year old and another one quickly on the way, we were already stressed with all the transitions and hopeful deadlines. They put us at ease throughout the entire process with detailed timelines, prompt/upfront communication, and every skilled worker that arrived at our house was professional, safe, and efficient. They didnâ t skip a beat paying attention to every detail, you can tell they take great pride in their craft. We witnessed our basement transform into a beautiful living space that has quickly become our favorite place in the house. I would recommend them over and over again.

JP GRABENSTETTER CONTRUCTION TEAM PERFORMED AND MET ALL THEIR PROMISES MADE. THEY WERE VERY EASY TO DEAL AT A FAIR PRICE. THEIR CRAFTSMAN SHIP WAS EXCELLENT AND THEY MET OR EXCEEDED ALL TIMELINES FOR COMPLETION. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR BASEMENT AND THE SERVICES PROVIDED. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

John and his team are fantastic. He was consultative in transforming our wish list into a floor plan that optimized the space. His crew started the day after I paid my deposit, and there was activity nearly every week day thereafter until the project was completed. John remained in communication throughout. We are so pleased with the outcome, and have received many compliments about the quality of work by family and friends.

Excellent company. John and his team did a great job on our basement. Highly recommend

We had a couple companies come quote our basement finishing project but ultimately liked these guys the best. We felt pricing was reasonable and they were the most willing to work with us on what we wanted and ideas we had. Overall I absolutely would hire them again and would recommend them to family and friends. A couple negatives though: - they started the job earlier than anticipated but because of how their crews were scheduled this meant our job was stretched out longer than it was initially quoted for and by the end of it we really were looking forward to not having dust in our home anymore. - communication was lacking. At first this was great and quick but then as the job began stalling we wouldnâ t get updates unless we went out of our way to ask, and anytime we asked for something to be changed they just told us if they could or couldnâ t accommodate it without mentioning a change order fee. The fee wasnâ t the issue, but there were a couple times where the work was already done and then we were sent a bill. - they require you to use certain vendors for flooring and counters/cabinets. They do give a pricing estimate in the full quote but even for base model items, it was almost double what was in the quote. You donâ t get the names of the vendors ahead of signing with them, so itâ s not like we could do our research ahead of time. We ultimately got most of what we wanted but the cost ended up coming in about $7000 over what their estimates allowed for.

Very professional and courteous craftsman. They keep things as clean as can be expected given the type of work being done. Project was done on time. Visitors to my â man caveâ have raved about the finished product. I highly recommend this contractor for your basement project.

It was a very good experience

We finished our basement with a full bath, bedroom with egress, gym,, kitchenette and living room. Very professional, amazing work with the best price.

Amazing. He was above and beyond our dream basement. Always communicated with us the next steps of every station they were doing for the project. Very great work and highly recommend.

My husband and I are both licensed architects who have been in the field for 35 + years and could not be happier with the quality. Outstanding company. Did a fantastic job finishing our basement. John and his team are like a well oiled machine. Work was prompt and efficient and high quality. Terrific value for the money and good people to work with.

We contracted John for finishing our basement. He was very responsive and worked with us to design and finish our basement within our budget. He and his staff were very professions, timely and meticulous. It was a pleasure doing business with John and his team. Recommend him for any re-modelling / finishing stuff.

Very efficient. Great communication. Quality work. Reasonable price.

We used John and his team to help us finish our basement after building our home about 3 years ago. My wife and I really arenâ t the creative type, so we were looking for a contractor that could help guide us down a path towards something that would look really sharp. From the initial meeting, John was super helpful in design and providing commentary about feasibility of some of our ideas given our layout along with helping us determine what would look good. We couldnâ t be more happy. Johnâ s team was very respectful, responsive and always met deadlines set by John. Johnâ s communication through the entire process was fantastic. We could count on emails from John on Sunday with what to expect from the coming weeks. We found the process to be timely, easy and very transparent. 10/10 service and 10/10 craftsmanship!

Awesome company. Did a great job on the basement.

John was recommended to us by a family member. After getting multiple quotes and design ideas we hired John and his team to finish our basement and could not be more pleased. He was extremely professional, responsive and easy to work with while also being cost efficient. We would go back to him and his team for any remodel effort we have going forward. We would recommend him for any similar project.

Good communication, perfect for basement project... cost effective

We had them to do a complete remodel of our basement and they did a wonderful job! I also had them install all new 6 panel doors , trim and molding upstairs. John and his crew were always professional!

Will definitely use them again. John provided professional quote and drawing. Kept me informed about project timeline and his team was great when I had questions or minor changes. Project looks great!

We hired JP Grabenstetter after getting several quotes, The project was top notch. They showed up on time and if for some reason something had changed it was always communicated to us.

JP Grabenstetter responded to initial inquiry quickly did physical assessment and provided a detailed quote in writing along with drawing within two days. When construction started they brought five employees for the rough in. Three for the drywall and three painters. All trades were timely friendly and professional. I would definitely use them for future projects.

We hired JP Grabenstetter after receiving three (3) quotes from contractors referred by friends. After reviewing the reviews here on Home Advisor, we felt they were the best option for basement remodeling. JPG delivered the most detailed quotation of all four quotes received. John was very good to work with from the time he first came to look the job over all the way through to completion. He explained the process they followed and the timeline. Since he was backed up with other work, we had to wait our turn in his schedule, which was not an issue for us. John's crew started right about when he said they would show up to get started and each trade came in exactly when he said they would come in. If I have any negatives about JPG, it would be the electrical work. We had detailed drawings prepared by an architect and John's crew worked off a very rudimentary drawing prepared by JPG. In the bedroom, we wanted 2 electrical outlets located on one wall such that they would be behind future night stands on either side of the bed. This was missed and I didn't catch it until the drywall was installed. We eventually worked around this. The other minor issue was a electrical box on the wall behind our wet bar. It was installed slightly tilted, which was exacerbated when I added a backsplash to that wall. Minor eyesore. Maybe it can be fixed?? The only other snafu, and not JBG fault was the cabinet supplier (who we had used in our previous house and is very good) ordered our cabinets in the wrong stain color. This caused a 2 week delay until the correct cabinets could be manufactured and shipped to the site. This also pushed the granite countertop delivery back, so a 6-week timeline ended up being 8-weeks but again, not caused by JPG. As a post note, one of our neighbors came to see our finished basement and loved it so much, he hired JPG for his basement finishing project. We heartily endorse JP Grabenstetter for your basement finishing project.

They were top notch. John came up with a couple of extra ideas that made our basement, kitchen and space that was being wasted upstairs into more productive areas. This really added more overall storage. The crew came in and got the job done. They also cleaned up after each day. We hired John and his crew a second time a couple of years later. They were quick and we were really impressed with the quality of their work.
