"Eric had redone my sister-in-law's three bathrooms and we loved how they turned out so we hired Eric to redo ours. From day 1, he was responsive, polite and professional. Very respectful of our home and a great partner to us in helping us choose the right fixtures etc and getting us through the odd surprise as we opened up walls. We absolutely love our new bathroom and would highly recommend Eric for any home project."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Basic Companies to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial layout and permits to framing, electrical work, sheetrock, spackling, painting, and flooring, they handled every aspect of the project with utmost professionalism and expertise. Each team that came to our house was knowledgeable, hardworking, and incredibly professional. They were always responsive to our questions and ensured that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised time frame, and to our delight, it was actually finished much earlier than expected. Our family is thrilled with the final result. The finished basement has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to Basic Companies for their exceptional work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to handle their home improvement projects."

"First meeting went very smoothly so far had a great experience with Jason Now will be working with Don the project manager."

"Excellent work, workers always showed up on time. If I had any questions even on weekends Gary always answered his phone. My wife was happy and that is what counts. If I needed any other work I would call Gary because I trust him to do the job correctly at a fare price."

"They did a really good job and they were really quick. They were easy to work with and they had a good pricing."

"I can't say enough about this contractor! The work was amazing and they did everything they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it, and everyone I worked with there from the office manager on out was terrific. They can do anything from plumbing to electrical to building barn door fixtures, which means you don't need to find anybody else after you call them. What I loved most was they brought their own ideas, and because of this, I have a nice, spacious laundry room/mud room/garage entry area where once there was a very narrow passage where you could barely squeeze past the washer to get out the garage door - but they were able to see the space laid out in a different way, and now it's both functional and beautifully designed. ALSO - the fireplace was just an in-wall gas fireplace with a marble surround flat to the wall around it, with a very narrow plain white mantle high up on the wall - no hearth or anything -and these guys built me a brand new white brick fireplace with a rustic mantle based on a Pinterest picture I showed them - way more than I expected and exactly what I wanted! Best of all, they knew I had these lamps I wanted to put on the mantle, so they built hidden electrical outlets flat into the mantle, next the wall, so I don't have wires hanging down and you can't even see the cords - I hadn't even asked for that, but that's the kind of thing they think about when they're building. Everyone on the team seems to have a good design sense, and I remember a couple of times when they saved me from poor decisions by asking me to come look at something before they finished the install, just because they thought something might look better a different way, and they were right. From a project management perspective, I had up-front pricing on all work, and as I added projects along the way, I was given pricing for the additional work as well. Receipts for payments included a running total of all projects they were doing with original pricing as well a list of all payments made - there was never any confusion about balances owed or paid, and this made it very easy to budget and manage the cash flow aspect. Big Dog also works with certain companies for things like flooring, windows, and doors, so since I didn't know where to go, they were able to connect me with people in the industry. My townhouse looks completely different from when I moved in, and I love it! I really appreciate the thought and effort Big Dog put into making my house perfect, and I recommend them highly - I'll be calling them again."

"Team was fast, efficient and super friendly. Would recommend"

"The contractor did not finish with the job, he won't answer my calls anymore, he took my car as part of the payment, I don't have any cabinets, he won't get back to me anymore."

"The owner came over for an estimate. He spent a good amount of time looking at the project but never sent me an estimate. I eventually hired another contractor."

"Very well. We were very happy with the quality of work and time period, considering it was Covid times. The time lines and communication was very prompt and work quality was excellent. We are very happy"
