“The workmanship and finished product of the Sovereign basement far exceeded our expectations and is a true value for the investment. Both Thor and Lars are easy to work with and professional in dealing with customers. All of the subcontractors were courteous and efficient and were as unobtrusive as possible. If given the opportunity to have similar work done at a new residence, they, without question would be the first ones we’d call.”

“Randy and I could not be happier with our basement. The entire process--design, selections, final product--went smoothly and was completed in a timely fashion. What a wonderful experience! Our finished lower level has truly enriched our lives and enhanced our home. Your team's creativity and "vision" were instrumental in pulling this entire project together; for that, we are eternally grateful. The quality and overall workmanship are absolutely top-rate and without a doubt represent the best in this very unique and specialized business. We would unreservedly recommend you guys to anyone!”

"Our basement had some very challenging obstacles in the way (e.g. drain pipes, duct work, water lines) but Sovereign had the imagination to see how to design the layout to maximize the space and had the skill to relocate these obstacles to make the most of our basement.

The quality of the workmanship was top-notch. Our lower level now looks like part of the house, not a converted basement."

“It has been a wonderful experience working with the Sovereign team. My basement is a wonderful addition and has added value to my home. It is the perfect entertaining space and also wonderful for everyday living. In addition to the entertainment space, they were also able to provide me with storage and shelving for extra convenience.

I provided the general concepts and utilization for my basement and they constructed what I requested. The team completed the project on time and within the proposed budget.

The Sovereign crewmembers were very professional and a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased and highly recommend Sovereign to all of my friends and neighbors.”

“We were very thorough in our preparation to solicit bids for our basement-remodeling project. It was evident that several contractors were intimidated by our insistence that plans, specifications and permits be a part of the written contract. However, Sovereign Homes seemed pleased to be working with customers who were prepared and knowledgeable. Their standard contract addressed all of our concerns about permits and inspections and included generous allowances for flooring, cabinetry and tile. The proposed payment schedule seemed fair and equitable.

During construction Sovereign was careful to keep us informed of the progress and made an effort to schedule the noisy and dusty parts of the job at times that would cause the least disruption for our family. They were always willing to answer questions and address any concerns we had. We were especially impressed with their willingness to relocate utilities so that the final product was even more beautiful than we had anticipated.  Ducts, beams and pipes were either moved or skillfully hidden in ways that were notably innovative.

We have already recommended Sovereign Construction to several of our friends and acquaintances. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the final product.”

“Dealing with Sovereign was a pleasure. Our lower level is now a beautiful part of our daily living space. It has changed the entire dynamic of our home. It is now a space to be so proud of and keeps us from ever wanting to move.

The kids have claimed it as their own and appreciate the space and privacy it offers them. It also serves as a wonderful guest quarter for our family and friends coming from out of town. They actually enjoy staying with us because of the lovely accommodations we have. Our lower level is no longer a basement, its part of our home!!”

Sovereign Homes did a great job finishing the basement in our home. We are very pleased and highly recommend them to all our friends and neighbors. We wanted an extra bedroom, bath and small kitchen area, extra storage space, and a recreation room. Sovereign really helped us to maximize our living space and met our goals.

They moved the bathroom plumbing, pipes, floor drains, and the water and compressor lines so we’d have as much room as possible and the ceilings would be level and attractive. The job was completed on budget and on time. The workers were clean and friendly. Having a finished basement has added much value to our home and given us a comfortable place to spend time with our family”.

“Sovereign Builders did a fantastic job in the design and completion of my lower level. After interviewing several contractors, I found Sovereign to be more professional and more willing to articulate the details of the bid and design than all others. I had a design that I wanted and they helped make the dreams that I had in my mind a reality with their careful planning and follow-through.

The attention to detail and their courteous workers helped make the transformation from a basement to a lower level a very minor inconvenience. As a result, their work has not only added value to my house but it has also made my home a more comfortable and fun place to live.

I can recommend Sovereign Builders with complete confidence!”

“We had the pleasure of working with Sovereign Homes in the redesign and construction of our basement. Throughout the entire process we found Lars Jacobs and his people to be honest, forthright and extremely professional to deal with. Lars was able to take our conceptual ideas and thoughts and come up with a design that not only made good design sense, but also was more economical than we had originally thought. Throughout the construction process Lars and his people were very professional, prompt, and polite as they dealt with my wife and me.

I would strongly recommend using Sovereign Homes again, and have done so to my entire neighborhood!”

Sincerely,

"Becky and I have been extremely happy with our finished lower level. It has become an extension of our home and the finished living space was designed with that in mind. The design team at Sovereign was extremely helpful as we developed our plans and insured us that our ideas were incorporated into the finished product. Their construction team was terrific and actually completed the project ahead of schedule. We were so happy with their work we also had them finish our screened porch as a” four-season” room that has provided us with a place where we can have special family time each evening.

I highly recommend them."

“Overall everything turned out great. We had 4 estimates and feel we got the best bang for our buck. Lars and Thor were very professional and also did a good job on the follow up issues. We would highly recommend them.”

We found working with Sovereign on our finished basement was a pleasure. They were always knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and made an honest effort to do a quality job. They were as picky as we were in making sure things are done "right". Our project was completed on time and on budget. We are sure to get many years of enjoyment from our finished basement. Highly recommended.

Our family feels very pleased with what Sovereign has created for us. We were very comfortable with all of the individuals involved that performed in our home. We feel that we established a friendship with Lars and Thor. I think we will miss seeing them around, especially our children and dog Cocoa. The workmanship was excellent. The end results were as expected. The Jacobs were very fair to try and satisfy our request throughout the project. Top quality material, workmanship and people. I highly recommend Sovereign Homes for basement finishing.

We couldn't be happier about the work that was done by Sovereign. They exceeded our expectations with regards to quality, speed of the job and the level of professionalism. We had the feeling on a regular basis that they were doing the work as if it were the basement in their own house. We would recommend them to anyone!

My wife and I are very pleased with our basement from Sovereign Homes, and working with them during the process was just as enjoyable as the final product. The initial consultation with Thor and Lars was very thorough. They listened to our ideas for our basement and brought their own extensive experience to the table as well. They didn't look to just finish the job, but rather to make our basement a warm, welcoming extension to our house. We will recommend Sovereign Homes to all our friends.

Overall, we were very pleased with Sovereign Construction. They were able to overcome a number of obstacles in order to maximize the amount of living space available to our family. We found everyone at Sovereign to be extremely responsive, courteous and trustworthy. It was very apparent that their goal was to meet our every need, and they did. It was money well spent and we couldn't be happier.

“During the fall of 2006, Sovereign Construction did a basement renovation project in our Mt. Washington home. We have been very pleased with the results of the work and are enjoying our modern new living space.

The initial planning stage was truly "custom" and we felt that our project was being handled as the most important one that Sovereign was doing at the time. No prefab solutions were offered, and some structural improvements that we wouldn't have considered were offered and incorporated into the design. Thor and Lars were excellent during the planning stage of the project.

Our primary dealings with Lars during construction were all excellent. Daily scheduling of workmen (all quality people) was done efficiently and with no surprises. Construction problems specific to our project were met with creative solutions with the results being better than expectations. Lars made himself available a number of times and what could have been Snafu’s were headed off cheerfully and effectively.

Lars and Thor managed to keep the scheduling of the processes and inspections to be as in-obtrusive as possible. Any remodeling project of this scope will create some inconvenience, but this project was relatively smooth throughout.

Our finished basement is warm, well lit, quiet and comfortable. It has been a great place to be so far, and has greatly increased the value of our home. If you are considering a basement renovation, we highly recommend Lars and Thor Jacobs and Sovereign Construction. “
