Ayers Basement Systems Named a 2025 Detroit Free Press Top Workplace, Three Years in a Row

We’re excited to share that Ayers Basement Systems has been named a Detroit Free Press Top Workplace for the third year in a row!

This recognition is special because it’s based entirely on feedback from our employees. At Ayers, we believe fulfilling work creates fulfilling lives and this award tells us we’re living up to that promise.
 

What is a Top Workplace Award?

The Detroit Free Press Top Workplaces award measures things like culture, leadership, values, and growth opportunities. Unlike many awards, companies don’t apply or pay to be considered. Instead:

• Employees are surveyed confidentially about their experiences.
• Questions focus on alignment, opportunity for growth, and connection.
• The recognition comes directly from employee voices, making it authentic and meaningful.

Why It Matters

We’ve always believed work should be more than “punching the clock.” When people feel valued, they don’t just grow in their careers, they create stronger families, neighborhoods, and communities.

Here’s the kind of workplace we’re building every day:

• A place where employees are people, not numbers.
• A culture that balances high expectations with encouragement and support.
• A team where every role has purpose and impact.

What Makes Ayers a Top Workplace

Our work may be basements and foundations, but our purpose goes far beyond that. Safe, stable homes give families peace of mind and that starts with a strong, supported team.

We focus on:

• Growth and Training – Tools and opportunities to keep learning.
• Culture of Support – Walking alongside our employees at every step.
• Purpose-Driven Work – Doing the right thing for our customers, every time.
• Celebrating Success – Recognizing milestones, achievements, and hard work.

Looking Ahead

Three years in a row tells us we’re on the right path but we’re not stopping here. Our purpose is to redefine our industry and create a workplace where people are proud of the difference they make every day.

We’re proud of the award, but even more proud of our people: the crews and design specialists in the field, the teams in the office, and everyone who makes Ayers what it is.

Here’s to safer homes, stronger communities, and another year of being a Top Workplace.
