Wall Panels
You can have a beautiful finished basement in about 2 weeks or less with our Insulated Acoustical Basement System. Our Basement System is superior in quality to anything on the market today, and it's more affordable. As I hung up the phone, I immediately felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead. My wife looked at me with pure terror in her eyes. My in-laws were coming to visit in just over 2 weeks, expecting to stay with us. I bragged to my father in law that we had plenty of room, that we would prepare the "guest room" for them. Unfortunately the "guest room" was our unfinished basement, cement floor, dust, exposed pipes in the ceiling. You know the drill. The truth was, we only had enough "real" bedrooms to sleep our two kids, my wife, and I. I was desperate. My in-laws didn't approve of me in the first place, and in one phone call I dug myself deeper into an already difficult situation. I felt the ax ready to fall. I called 3 contractors and they simply laughed in my face at the 2 week request. Then I called Impressive Basement Systems. "Sure, we can have your basement completely remodeled in 2 weeks, no problem! In fact, we guarantee it to all our customers!" Said the voice on the line. Sound Impossible? Not at all. My basement is living proof. And not only did they finish in 2 weeks, but it costed less than traditional drywall construction, and it is clearly higher quality.

Consulting and Custom Design
Do Not Read The Following Comparison Between Us And Our Competitors If You Are Easily Offended You may have received a call from one of our competitors trying to sell you a similar system, or you may have read about this system on the Internet. Our system far surpasses similar systems from our competitors, even if they may try to lump us in with themselves. Just ask them the following 8 questions, and their answers will make it abundantly clear that Impressive Basement Systems is the superior choice. Here are the 8 questions to ask our competitors: 1. Is your price competitive? In the past we have ALWAYS beat our competitors price. We have saved our customers thousands of dollars over the competition. 2. Do the walls that you install look like real walls, or do they have divider strips that are common to premanufactured walls? They won't tell you this, but competitors selling similar systems often have annoying divider strips every 4 feet along the wall: our system is a real wall with no cheap looking dividers. 3. Do you remodel the entire basement or just install the walls? Eliminate the hassle of getting separate contractors to do your electrical, plumbing, flooring, ceilings, and walls--we do an entire remodeling package for you. (Our competitors usually only put up walls and leave the rest to you.) 4. Will you stick to the quote you give me in the beginning? Convential drywall and wood stud construction estimates are just that - they are estimates. Many times the original estimate that you receive from a contractor ends up increasing in price by the end of the project. Our basement system is custom manufactured for every order - becuase of this, our designers must be very detailed in their measurments and design options. The price that we give you on your basement project will only change if you change the scope of work to be done. We always stick to our quote. 5. How easy is it to hang heavy mirrors, picture frames, and other decorations on your walls? Our wall panels are made of high density materials that you can actually put a nail through. One of our clients hung a 30 pound professional quality dart board his basement wall--thats how strong our walls are! Our competitors walls can only hold 10 pounds (and you have to use a special mounting plate and to even get it to handle that much weight!) 6. Can any installer or home repair guy install your system? With some of our competitors, anyone can become an installer. You don't know who they are, or if you can trust them in your home. Our system is exclusively manufactured here in Detroit and are only installed by our in house staff. It is not available for purchase or installation anywhere else, including Home Depot, Lowes etc... Also, we guarantee that we can have your basement system (excluding bathrooms) installed in 2 weeks (provided we have daily access to your home). 7. How durable and solid are your walls? Do you use studs when putting up your walls? We use real metal studs producing a wall as solid as traditional lumber/drywall construction, without the worries of warping, rotting, mold, and mess. 8. How many installers do you have working for your company? Are you a one man operation? Will you be juggling my remodeling project among 10 others? We have multiple crews and many installation vehicles; in other words, we are not a one man show. You will have a dedicated crew working on your remodeling project, so you don't have to worry about your remodeling job being forgotten or left unfinished for weeks. We will stick to our 2 week guarantee. Also, the design consultant that first visits your home will stay with you throughout your job. You don't have to worry about getting lost in the shuffle.

Windows and Doors
Pella is America’s #1 Window & Door Replacement Brand.* Pella makes replacement easy from start to finish. We will measure, install your new windows and doors, and even haul away your old ones. So replacement is convenient and stress-free for you. As you consider replacing your windows or doors, look for these indicators that your old windows or doors need to be replaced: Poor performance – opening and closing is a difficult task; air leaks in, out or around the window; condensation or fogging occurs on or between glass panes; Safety - windows that don’t open easily or are painted or nailed shut may prevent a safe escape during a fire when seconds count; (see our Close the Door on Fire section for more information on fire safety) Looks – chipping, deterioration, and water stains on the window or the area around the window (inside or out). Effort – cleaning is a major hassle; replacement parts are hard to find or even non-existent. Improve the energy efficiency of your home Keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by opting for Low-E (low-emissivity) glass coatings. Low-E helps reduce heat transfer and ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade carpets, walls and furniture. You also can reduce heating and cooling costs by replacing old single-pane windows with today’s energy-efficient double- or triple-pane windows. Select windows and doors that have earned the ENERGY STAR® distinction to ensure you are maximizing potential savings to your heating and cooling costs. Other Considerations To keep the exterior appearance consistent, consider replacing all the windows on one side (or one level if it’s a two-story house) at the same time. If you’re replacing siding, replace windows before the siding, so that siding can be fit to the new windows, for a neater appearance and better overall energy efficiency. If your window frames are in excellent condition, the easiest way to replace is to remove old sashes and put a replacement window into the old frame. This allows the existing trim to remain in place. If frames are worn or damaged, replace the entire window unit. For the ultimate in convenience, schedule an in-home appointment with a Pella replacement expert who can help provide solutions for your replacement window and door needs.
