Why Kalamazoo Homeowners Choose Premier Building & Remodeling for Basement Finishing
Three decades of local remodeling experience.
We’ve been remodeling homes in the Kalamazoo area since 1993. That means we understand the homes here, from 1960s ranches and older farmhouses to lake homes and newer builds that need more usable space. Basements come with their own quirks, and we know how to work through them.
A basement that feels like part of your home.
A finished basement should not feel like an afterthought. Whether you’re adding a family room, guest space, home office, bathroom, bar area, or playroom, we help create a space that feels comfortable, intentional, and connected to the rest of your home.
A coordinated team from start to finish.
You’ll have a dedicated point of contact who helps guide the process, walks you through decisions, manages the schedule, and keeps you updated. Our build team handles the construction side, and everything runs through your point of contact, so you always know what’s happening.
Licensed, insured, and local.
Premier Building & Remodeling is based in Richland, not a franchise or national chain. Our clients are also our neighbors, and much of our work comes from referrals and repeat business. That trust matters, especially when we’re working inside your home.

"Premier Building & Remodeling in Richland, provided top-notch services and we couldn't be happier with our experience and the results. From start to finish it was a ten week process with a very well organized timeline. Premier's staff coordinated amazing sub-contractors, all of which I felt safe with alone in our home and everything was communicated in advance. I could go on and on about how wonderful our remodel experience was with Premier Building & Remodeling but I think the before and after pictures speak for themselves."

"PB&R has finished a bathroom remodel and a basement door replacement in 2022. An entryway, great room, kitchen and a hallway remodel the summer of 2023. We could not be more pleased with the results. From the beginning of the project the customer is made aware of the financial responsibilities of the project. Expert guidance is given to help the project be the very best quality while fulfilling the owners dream. Subcontractors did outstanding work. A schedule was given to us the week before the projects started and the team stayed on schedule. Our project manager answered texts and calls within a day. We look forward to doing more remodeling with them. We thank PBR for the quality of their work. There are definitely more projects in our future!"
