Architect-recommended. Permitted and passed all village inspections. Built while the family lived in the home — dug down nearly two feet to create 700 sq ft of finished living space with heated floors, steel beams, a full kitchen, bath and laundry, modern boiler with per-floor zoning, mini-split AC, tankless water heater, sump pump, new plumbing and electrical, and modern tile and carpentry finishes throughout.
"BAKO was recommended by our architect for their attention to detail and high-quality finished projects. We could not be more pleased with the result from our basement renovation — a big project for a small 100+ year-old home. BAKO managed all permits and inspections with our village and the final project passed all inspections. The tile work and carpentry finishes exceeded our expectations — a clean, modern, and functional living space. The area was cleaned at the end of each day and demolition refuse removed daily. Bart and his team were incredibly respectful and detail-oriented. Bart was always available to communicate and prioritized our needs given that we lived in the home during construction. When we're ready for the next phase, we will be calling BAKO. If you're looking for a trustworthy contractor, quality work and professionalism, you can't go wrong with BAKO."
"Bart and his crew transformed our kitchen on schedule and on budget. Communication was outstanding from day one."
"We're an investor group that's used BAKO on three flips now. They handle permits, hit deadlines, and the finish work sells the house."
"Our primary bath looks like a hotel spa. Detail-oriented, clean job site, no surprises on the invoice."
