Get matched with top grab bar installation pros in Collinsville, CT

"Unfortunately I give BBB a 1 star rating. The project began October of 2021 with demolition, upon completion of each phase I sent an email to Better Built Basement management thanking them for their work effort and identifying items that either required further explanation and/or resolution. As the project went on, I became increasingly frustrated with their lack of communication, lack of accountability, lack of caring, and lack of skill. The straw that broke my back was when Jim (an owner) called me a f’ing c’sucker. Randy, (an owner) sent me the following email: No one has time to read your 3-page condensing e-mails. You have done nothing but complaint. It's obnoxious and draining to everyone you come in contact with. There isn't one person who cant wait to have you out of our lives. I terminated Better Built Basements on June 7th, 2022, here are some of the details of my experience: - The demo crew was excellent in and out in a day and did a great job cleaning up - The electricians were very consultative in their approach to the project, providing input on lighting and outlet placements. - Framing was mediocre. Despite using laser equipment, one wall was wavy and the ceiling grid has a large gap. Pictures attached. - New steel stud framing and pre-hung doors should be dead on straight as an arrow instead, two of the doors has an aesthetically noticeable skew. - The replacement to an existing door resulted in using the wrong hinge set for the existing mortices, inclusive of color – all the other hardware is brass they used chrome. Picture attached. - 3 of the four doors were either chipped or cracked. BBB was notified before the ‘final’ paint job, but they failed to address the issue. - I returned home the day they applied joint compound to find glops of joint compound on the floor, which I tracked around my house, and glops on wood work on a floor where no work was occurring. Pictures attached - Following the flooring installation, they left garbage in my basement for 2.5 weeks, then did not take it when they came back – in frustration I disposed of it myself. - Many of joints on the ¼ round trim molding were caulked excessively to cover up sloppy miters. - Cracked switchhplate was not replaced. Picture attached. - Sub-contractors have sub-contractors, who seem to be able to sub contract – direct employees of BBB other than the demo and electrical were rare. BBB demands using a lock box, Many people have the combination, providing little sense of security over access to the home. Overall, BBB does a bad job communicating, managing expectations and fails to deliver on their stated objectives at best they are contractors not craftsman."

"Chris did an excellent job from start to finish. He worked with us to personalize the basement to our vision and he kept us informed every step of the way. We have been loving our new finished space and getting lots of compliments from friends. Can not recommend him enough!"

"Quick, one day service, cleaned up after, friendly they even double checked with us before installing safety handles and shelves to make sure they were exactly where we wanted them."

"Smooth, easy, and friendly. Years later I needed information on the installed windows for warranty purposes. I called KKS for that information and he took the time and effort to go back 18 years to give me the information I needed to put in a warranty claim. Friendly and helpful."

"Todd and his team did an outstanding job remodeling our kitchen! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and truly attentive to our needs. The final result is a perfect blend of style and functionality, transforming our kitchen into a space we now love to spend time in. Todd's expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, and the team worked seamlessly to bring our vision to life. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch kitchen remodel!"

"Mike and his crew were wonderful, knowledgable, professional and efficient. The quality of the work was outstanding and the whole process was smooth and easy! Can’t recommend them highly enough!"

"I hired this company six months ago to remodel my garage. The project was supposed to take 5 weeks. It shortly turned into 8 weeks. Now, six months later, the project isn't even half completed. The contract stated half of the money was to be paid up front, then half upon completion, yet they are constantly asking for more money. They only show up once per week, if they show up at all. The worksite is a mess and there is no end in site. They damaged items that they were asked to preserve, including a brand new garage door opener that I am now being asked to replace. They also damaged a retaining wall that I now have to pay someone to repair. This has been an absolute nightmare. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! The worksite is a constant mess and my neighbors are complaining. No one should have to live like this."

"I'm amazed of how my shower upgrade turned out. I still can't believe cts creation finished in one day. I recommend cts creation to anybody and everybody. They killed it!"

"Had my bathroom redone and it came out beautiful. The whole process was seamless and the communication was excellent. Will use again for future projects!"

"Don was a pleasure to work with. He was professional but also very friendly. He was very meticulous with his work and made sure we were happy with the outcome. I would most definitely use him again and highly recommend him. You won’t be sorry."
