"Luis did an excellent job creating a laundry room for us. He converted part of our garage into an amazing room - you would never know it was once part of the garage as it flows seamlessly into the house. The herringbone tile floor installation was excellent, as well as the cabinets/doors/wall installation. Luis also had a team that managed plumbing, electrical, and hvac work. We are so happy with the space and always receive so many compliments. Luis is super easy to work with, strong attention to detail and has a great attitude."

"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!"

"Spend less time waiting for a contractor to call you. Call J&P Restoration! They were real pro's at renovating my kitchen, creating a powder room and washer & dryer area. Work is of the highest quality taking all my needs into consideration."

"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."

"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!"

"Usein did a great job at finishing my basement for the second time. He did a great job, and was responsive to minor changes to original plan. I would use him again and surely recommend to friends and family."

"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."

"Very professional and personable! They were very detail oriented and did the job in a very reasonable time. They made sure that everything was to how we wanted and explained everything. Would absolutely use them again with some other work in the future!"

"Very helpful and knowledgeable"
