We began looking for basement contractors that could handle the renovation from end-to-end. We interviewed a few different companies for the job, but were especially impressed by Inco USA. They were willing to customize the project exactly to our specifications; secondly, they offered a reasonable bid; and thirdly, at my specific request, they were willing to break the project up into three distinct phases. The reason: I wanted to work in phases to ensure I could secure funding as the project moved forward. During the planning phase, Lytton worked around what we wanted and did not try to impose restrictions on us. Any time we asked a question, he explained the process and make us feel like we were part of the team. All of the Inco team members were extremely kind, from the contractors to the delivery guys, to the framers, to the painters, to the plumbers. We kept our door open to the team throughout the project and they came and went as needed. We were completely comfortable with every person who worked in our house. One of the most memorable aspects of Inco USA was witnessing how hard each member of the team worked. None of them were lethargic! Every second of the day, they worked efficiently. It was inspiring to see their dedication. On occasion, they would ask for permission to work after 5:30pm in order to finish a particular section of work. We had no problem with this and valued their work ethic. William was absolutely incredible. We really enjoyed his presence each day. Honestly, I don't think there is any project he can't do. Despite the language barrier, we communicated with him through Google Translate which made things very easy. The kids kept bringing him ice cream throughout the day. I hope he didn't mind! They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. They also kept their work area clean, putting up barriers for dust, sweeping at the end of the day, putting their tools away. Abel Calix was the project manager and we looked forward to his visits. By the end of the project, it seemed like he had become part of the family. With the project now over, we will miss Inco's daily visits to the house. Our kids have told us that they miss them, too. Marc's ability to find custom products and solutions was a lifesaver. He removed the stress and burden from our shoulders by providing easy options for us to choose from. Sometimes we had the idea of what we wanted, but were not sure how it could be implemented. Abel and Marc always found a way! They were always asking questions to ensure we were happy with the end-result. Some of the upgrades that I was particularly pleased with were: - the 7 à ¼ inch baseboard trim looks absolutely stunning s the first thing people notice - the white solid-core doors are a must-have upgrade - adding extra lights and dimmer switches was a big plus; I love dimming the lights - adding directional accent lights for my Hue bulbs creates a major wow factor - switching from chrome fixtures to antique bronze was one of my favorite upgrades - purchasing a gorgeous bronze handrail creates a great first impression for visitors - upgrading the carpet on the stairs with a thicker carpet, thicker pad is a must - getting a better quality LVP for the flooring was a great decision in the end Anytime we wanted an upgrade, we could simply text Abel or Marc the product, or locate the item at Lowes or Home Depot. They would calculate the additional cost and send back for our approval. The team's craftsmanship was both precise and professional. I was particularly impressed that Hector, one of the company owners, stopped by to view the completed basement at the end of the project. He wanted my personal assurance that I was happy with their work. Overall, working with Inco USA was a delightful experience. They exceeded my expectations in every way and I highly recommend them for their outstandi...
