Creative Basements

I contacted Creative Basements for my daylight basement finishing project. The detailed competitive quote I received coupled with the fact that I knew I would be communicating with the owner of the Company (and not a project manager) throughout the process made is a no-brainer for me and I picked Creative Basement from several other companies I was considering. Jason was very responsive throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions prior to signing the contact and throughout the entire process. I ended up having finished approximately 1650 sq ft of finished space which included a living room w/fireplace, bar, full bathroom, bedroom, game room and gym. I would highly recommend this company.

Jason from Day 1 was very helpful in walking us through the process and various design options. During execution of the project, he was personally involved in every aspect of the project. He also went an extra mile to get all the permit done even though the county process was complex. Good quality of work, completion on time and in budget. Overall highly satisfied with the project and Jason's professional way of working

I contracted with Creative Basements to finish my basement. This project included a bathroom, office, bedroom and a large bonus room. This included framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, trim, painting and carpet. The project took about 2 months to complete. I made a small down payment to start the job and then paid for the work that was completed as the job progressed. I had excellent communication the whole time. I'm happy with the work and the experience. Couldn't have been better.

I started looking for someone that could complete my unfinished basement in May. I had received several estimates that were all different prices. Though when I meet with Jason Richards, he asked what I and my wife both wanted. Jason listens and within a week he provided me with the estimate. The estimate was fair, and I felt that he would deliver he was honest and truthful that's something that you don't always get. There are contractors that will tell you anything to get the job and then can't deliver. Jason provided me with a time along with time and week each portion would be completed with the total dollar amount due. Two and half months and the project is finished with no hidden charges everything as we agreed. I love everything about the process. If you need someone to do basements hire Creative Basements-Jason Thank you- Willie James

Creative Basements - Jason Richards did an excellent job on our basement We are enjoying our new space and are so glad we chose Jason. Great job at a fair price

We had our basement fully finished by Creative Basements. They did a great job of taking our design and bringing it to life while working with me on adjustments. As in all projects, everything was not always smooth, but Jason did a great job of working through those challenges with us and ensuring the job was done to a high standard. Thanks for a job well done!

This company built out my entire basement (close to 2000 square feet). If you want a top quality job and no cutting corners, you'll want to consider this guy. This is a family owned company that takes tremendous pride in the quality of their work. They've been in this business so long that they can walk you through "do's and don'ts" that are related to the unique circumstances around your own basement. You will not beat the quality of their custom cabinets--simply stunning work. If I had another basement job, I would definitely go back. As with any major job, things can happen. You can count on this company to fix anything that is on "them" and fix it appropriately. They are super responsive and patient, respectful of your property and they stay on task. I trust them completely. Thank you so much, Jason. You will always be my number one recommendation!!

I found Jason and his contractors easy to work with and very thorough. I particularly liked the way they laid out their plan for the work and stayed with it step-by-step. They cleaned up after each phase and were amenable to changes as our needs shifted during the project. Overall, it was a very rewarding experience, and the finished product has added spice and an upgrade to our living space.

We really can’t say enough great things about Creative Basements and more specifically,  Jason and Bob.  This project was executed on schedule, start to finish and the Creative Basements team to include the subcontractors were an absolute joy to work with. They explained every detail of the process and were very responsive to the questions and the design changes we had along the way. Their attention to detail was outstanding and they really worked hard to make this an awesome experience for us and we are nothing less than absolutely ecstatic about our newly finished basement .  So kudos to you Jason and Bob on a job well done, thanks so much and count us among your biggest advocates! Shawn and Family

Everything went great! Jason was a real help throughout the whole time. Would constantly communicate and update me on the process. Was very patient and understanding when I added a few things along the way. Jason helped me with recommendations that would improve the look of my basement. The work was very clean and organized. Everything came out exactly how I wanted it. Now my basement is perfect and ready to be the greatest mancave I can make it. Thank you to Creative Basements and their hard work. Will definitely hire again for future projects when they come up.

We are delighted with our results! This was the first time my husband and I hired a contractor to complete work to this extent. Naturally, we were a bit worried, not knowing what to expect, but Creative Basements quickly squashed all our fears and made the process extremely easy. Working with Jason was a delight. He quickly responded whenever we had any questions, provided helpful suggestions, and completed our project within a reasonable timeframe despite all the delays due to the pandemic. We would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for quality work along with a great team of people to execute it.

Excellent! The communication from the start was top notch. Service was completed on time and even better than expected! I would hire again and recommend to friends, family and neighbors. I really enjoyed working with Creative Basements. They helped to bring my visions to life with outstanding craftsmanship.

Working with Jason on the my vision for my basement "mancave" was easier than I expected. I've heard horror stories from others about contractors, but Jason and Creative Basements are nothing like that. All the ideas that I wanted to incorporate he got done. And some of them where out of the ordinary. They use great people and are very professional. Overall it was a great experience working with Jason and would surely recommend and use Creative Basements again .

We live in Dallas Georgia and decided to get our walkout basement finished for my mom to have her own apartment. Creative Basements did a bedroom, bathroom, living room for about 850 ft.². It took about three months starting in the last quarter of 2020 and just finished in January 2021. They did a great job and all the work was performed better than expected. Jason was really easy to work with. I definitely recommend Jason and Creative Basements for anybody looking to remodel their basement. Great value, great communication, no hassle, and delivered as promised. Thanks Jason!

I hired Creative Basements to finish our basement after I quickly realized it was too much of a task to do myself. Jason came to the rescue and created the perfect basement for our family. The quality and craftmanship of the work turned out great. We entertain family and friends regularly, and everyone is wowed by how it turned out. If I had to do it all over again I would of hired Creative Basements from the beginning and saved myself time and headache!

It went great. We got 4 estimates before making a decision and are so glad we went with Creative Basements. From the first time we met with Creative Basements to show them our unfinished basement and what our plans are, we truly enjoyed working with them. They are professional, stayed within budget and provide us a very beautiful basement. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a quality finished basement at a reasonable price.

Our project went very well. Jason and Robert were easy to work with and well organized. Jason helped me visualize our basement project and had excellent ideas which were an improvement over my original plan. We ended up with an outstanding finished basement which has all of the elements we needed. Furthermore, Jason was able to expedite the project which began right before the CCP virus panic, so that it would be done should my sons get sent home from college or if my office closed. All of which happened and the finished basement was a blessing. Quality of work is very good, and trim work is terrific. Would definitely hire again.

Creative Basements/Jason did a great job for us on our basement at a very fair price. We’ve received numerous compliments on our basement and use it everyday. Jason was very involved in each step of the process and was always available to us. We are very happy with our finished basement done by Creative Basements.

Creative Basements were very flexible with our needs. We didn’t have design ideas when we started the work and they waited patiently and gave suggestions. Their contractors were all excellent and professional. It was a big job and they managed it even through the quarantine difficulties! Would recommend!

Jason and his team were outstanding. His personal attention to detail, professional drawing, and consistent follow up were why I hired them. I highly recommend Creative Basements and their crew of installers. The project was seamless and stress free. I will use them again in the future.

Our experience with Creative Basement could not have been better. Jason was a joy to work with in the design process, and Bob kept us apprised of the budget the entire way. They made excellent recommendations, kept us mindful of costs and patiently allowed us to research major investments such as cabinets, granite choices, etc. while working to keep us on schedule. Jason's eye for detail is incredible. He is a true artist who cares very much about the look of the project. He and Bob worked diligently, making sure we were pleased in every step of the process. It was as if they were working on building their own basement. Because they keep their overhead low, they were able to provide us with a beautiful, custom project that other builders had quoted for thousands more!

Creative Basements finished our basement and we could not be happier. The basement was done extremely well and Creative Basements was professional and timely throughout the whole process. They truly care about the quality of work they perform. If we were to move, I would hire Creative Basements again in a heartbeat.

One of the most difficult things when doing a major project like this is putting your trust in the people who are responsible for the work. Creative Basements is definitely a company you can put your trust in. No matter what the issue was, they were there to make sure the job was done properly and were always receptive to questions and input during the entire process. They are experienced and confident. They solve problems, and listen to what is important to the customer.

Creative Basements is a family-owned and run business with a knack for design and solid execution. From the start, we were careful in our selection process. This was a major investment on our part (>$85k on a >$400k home), so we gathered 5 different quotes from reputable companies with similar service and focus. While price was a factor, it was not the most important criteria. We rated quality of workmanship and executional ease the highest. I have a professional career here in Atlanta and no time or margin for construction headaches. Creative Basements won my contract, even though they were not the cheapest game in town. One difference is that team at Creative Basements has a well-vetted, loyal, high-quality contractor network that they use for every job. They will work for Creative Basements at the drop of a hat because Bob and team pay them a fair wage, on a tight draw schedule that ensures they get paid. We saw this first-hand throughout construction and noticed the great relationship Bob and Jason have with everyone on their team. This is important to me as I want to ensure that I'm partnered with someone who values results and relationships - and treats their skilled workers and partners fairly. Another key difference is their solid execution plan. They present a floor plan ahead of the project, and a full draw schedule, so that you only pay for work as it's completed (minus a very small, initial deposit as earnest funds). This is huge for peace of mind. Let me say that again - you only pay for work as it's completed. This means that you can have 100% confidence that your project is meeting your goals along the way, without feeling a huge financial pressure. Now, since that's the benefit, you need to ensure that you're ready to pay each draw quickly (within a day or two), out of respect for the workers that have completed the work. That's part of the magic here and what makes the whole deal go so smoothly. All of this paid-off in the execution of a gorgeous project for a very large (~2000 sq ft) basement, complete with full apartment, full bath, kitchen, workout room, storage room and two living areas. While it took a little longer (5 vs. 4 months), it was actually due to modifications that I requested mid-construction. Bob and Jason were both gracious, and talked me through cost and timeline implications each time. In these cases, as long as you're willing to work within their good counsel, you'll see great results. Of course, the best situation is to finalize your plans up front and avoid modifications if at all possible. One piece of advice: pick out your colors for walls, carpet, counter tops as early as possible. They need these quickly, once the project begins. So have these all picked out. Bob and Jason are direct and straight-forward in their approach with clients. They work well with clients who appreciate that kind of wise, expert counsel. They won't steer the project wrong. They'll also answer questions along the way. They are incredibly responsive on text, email and phone calls. This was incredibly meaningful and helpful, as questions naturally arise. We actually feel like these guys are a part of our extended family - we trust them and they delivered great results in great way. We have a great basement that we continue to enjoy today. We're often referring friends to Bob. Give these guys a chance to earn your business. I guarantee that you won't regret it.

We could not be happier with the work Bob and Jason Richards did. Jason and my husband quickly came up with a design , and price, shook hands and we were on our way! Bob handles the subcontractors, while jason has a great eye for detail. They stayed in budget , and finished at record pace, just before the holidays
