I think Ben said it best, “Trust me on the result. Judge me on the result. The process is important, but in the end, the result is what matters.” And, he was clearly right. At the end of the project, the result exceeded our expectations. #### Bertrand Basement Remodel After remodeling their previous home just 6 months earlier, circumstances required the family to move. One day upon returning to their new home, they found their basement flooded! Heres how Thompson helped them through. #### Lynn Remodel We moved here from the Detroit area. Basically, since the year 2000, I have wanted to renovate the kitchen. I think just based on going through the website and discussions with Ben, that's how we made the decision to go with Thompson.

Our clients did not need the formal living room, so we combined the existing kitchen and dining room, allowing for an 8’10”x 5’2” island. The island has plenty of room for baking plus room to seat six for informal meals or gatherings. The remodeled kitchen includes some kid-friendly features such as the lower microwave placement in the island outside of the main work zone and the drink station with mini-fridge located right off the main hall. The selections in the remodeled kitchen are classic and timeless. Perimeter cabinets are maple wood with a marshmallow cream tinted varnish with a Cambria countertop in Clyde, a sandy/rosy hue. The island cabinets are alder wood with a cappuccino stain with a Cambria countertop in Darlington, with accents of khaki and olive. A ceramic tile backsplash compliments the earthy tones. The flooring throughout is 2 ¼” hardwood oak. - ![Thompson-remodeling-A-Bakers-Dream11.jpg](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hubfs/01_Gallery/A%20Bakers%20Dream/Thompson-remodeling-A-Bakers-Dream11.jpg "Thompson-remodeling-A-Bakers-Dream11.jpg") -
