Last winter we had our bathroom remodeled to more appropriately accommodate me in my recovery process and moving forward from several strokes. We had a rep come out to give us a quote based on what we wanted/would need and after some convincing and offering of discounts, we settled on a price and worked out a loan agreement to get it done. The project was to turn our bathtub in our main bathroom into a standing shower with a grab bar to allow for ease of entry and exit for myself, plus a wider vanity to allow for both myself and my wife to use the sink at the same time. We also opted to replace the flooring, which was tile, to a vinyl that became less cool and easy to walk on. We picked out the design and style with the rep who's name I don't remember, and set a date for everything to be done. The first issue after the fact that we noticed, was that the wrong vanity had been installed. When this issue was raised, the solution was to reimburse us for part of the installation because that seemed easier at the time. Fine. Everything else seemed to be ok, so we let it go and moved on. Fast forward to today, we had a drainage issue with that shower stall and called a plumber to address the issue. In the process of doing that, he discovered that the pipe for the shower drain, which had been moved from its original placement on the initial install, had not only been installed incorrectly, but had been sealed improperly and now that the seal has begun to erode away is causing a small (for now) leak. We now have a quote for an exploration into the problem where the other company will have to open up part of the celling in the basement in order to assess the issue and determine a correct fix. That this problem exists in the first place is unacceptable and we are frankly livid with the matter.
Description of Work: Conversion of bathtub into shower stall, replacement of vanity, change of tile flooring to vinyl.

We recently had our entire basement finished by Matrix Basements, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! The entire process was smooth, professional, and stayed right on schedule. Rodrigo, our carpenter, did incredible work. His craftsmanship and attention to detail really brought everything together beautifully. Ben, our project manager, was fantastic at keeping everything running seamlessly. He was always communicative and made sure we were in the loop every step of the way. The whole team was timely, professional, and clearly committed to delivering a high-quality result. We’re beyond pleased with how everything turned out and can’t wait to start using and enjoying our new space. Highly recommend Matrix Basements!

We signed a contract for a basement from Matrix Basement Finishing in August 2024. Since that point, it's become clear that Matrix systemically lies and uses unethical business practices to win business from customers. First, they ensure they are the first in the door. This alone isn't unethical, but they then proceed to initiate extremely high-pressure sales tactics and come in at an estimate at least 30% higher than what would be considered a "fair" estimate. They hold a "signing day" discount hostage unless you sign the same day they do the consultation. They then proceed to give a big show with their salesperson calling some "manager" to get a "discount" down to what would be considered a more fair (but still inflated) price. Talking with neighbors, their sales team is regularly unprofessional and rude. They make a lot of promises verbally but are careful to not put anything in writing. We had a litany of issues throughout the project too long to post here.

I recently attended an open house hosted by Matrix Basements and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in their basement remodels were evident, showcasing a variety of functional and beautifully designed spaces. From cozy family rooms to state-of-the-art home theaters, each area was thoughtfully planned to maximize both utility and aesthetics. The team at Matrix Basements was welcoming and knowledgeable, readily answering all my questions and providing insights into the remodeling process. Their passion for creating personalized spaces that cater to individual needs was clear, and I left the open house feeling inspired and confident in their ability to transform a basement into a standout feature of any home. For anyone considering a basement renovation, I highly recommend attending one of Matrix Basements’ open houses to witness firsthand the quality and innovation they bring to their projects.
Description of Work: As a potential customer, I attended Matrix Basements’ open house to explore options for a complete basement renovation. I was interested in seeing how they could transform an unfinished space into a functional and stylish area for family gatherings, entertainment, and additional living space. The open house gave me great ideas and confidence in their ability to handle a full remodel from design to completion.

Wow is all I can say. I stopped by one of my friend's house and I was blown away with the quality and the attention to detail Matrix provided for him during his mancave basement build. Beautiful workmanship all around especially with the oak bar build. He was also happy how well they worked with them throughout the entire process. I had heard good things about how well the process went but the end result was top tier. I could definitely hear the excitement in my friends voice when he finally could hang out once Matrix was done with his basement. I will definitely be using his mancave to gather what I want for when I hire Matrix in the future.

Where to begin. Matrix just completed the remodel of our basement and we couldn't be happier with the fabulous result. They took a dank, almost unusable space and turned it into a beautiful, inviting place to be. Rudy and Armando, Matrix carpenters, worked magic and Ben, the Matrix field manager, was in constant communication an ensured that the process was on-track throughout. We heartily and happily recommend Matrix Home Solutions.
Working with Matrix to finish my basement was a great experience. Everyone who came to do the work was talented and I'm very pleased with the project.

Matrix was exceptional over the course of the project management process. The project manager was professional, efficient, and flexible. The design phase was accomplished with professional designers who listened to my requirements and vision and produced design documents that didn’t change much over the course of the project. In instances where adjustments were needed, I was informed immediately and advised accordingly. It should be noted that very few unexpected costs were encountered. The project manager was receptive and accommodating to custom work needed on the project. For example, I needed a special access panel for my whirlpool. The Matrix team responded by consulting with experts and designing and implementing an effective and sleek solution that did not result in cost or time overrun for me. All sub teams were professional, timely, and effective. There were very few surprises, which is a testament to how well the project manager was organized and communicated effectively. I was very pleased with how each team protected my personal property over the course of the build. Overall, Matrix did an exceptional job and exceeded my expectations. I would go with them again without hesitation.
