"After Receiving quotes from 4 companies, we went with Finished Basements Plus. Not only did they offer the best price, but also included all permits and quality features such as metal framing without us having to ask. Todd, Brian, and their crews were great to deal with throughout the whole project. If getting the job done right for a great price are your priorities (and not speed), these guys are a great choice. We plan on hiring them again to remodel our master bathroom."
"Ed and his son were every efficient. Extremely neat as far as a remodel go. They started and completed the job in 9 days!! We would hire them again. In fact they are going to do a kitchen project for us. Thanks Ed and Cody."
"We couldn’t be happier. The upstairs is beautiful. Tim kept everything cleaned up while working, showed up promptly and kept sub use to a minimum . Everyone who worked in our home went out of their way to make sure we understood all work, and were polite and respectful. Phase 1 went so well that we have hired Tim to do phase 2 - take the kitchen back to studs, move it to a new location, create a laundry room (it’s out of the basement now Yea!) and walk-in pantry, new half bath, change all electrical to white, wood floors, all new doors, new baseboards and crown molding. We are part way through phase 2 and couldn’t be happier. Our home is becoming the beautiful dream home we’ve always wanted. We feel blessed to have found Tim and highly recommend him. We never thought we would be one of those people that love their contractor, but we do."
"I recently had my basement remodeled, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The team was incredibly professional, attentive to detail, and truly listened to my vision. They transformed the space into a beautiful and functional area that exceeds my expectations. From start to finish, the process was smooth, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their home. Thank you for making my basement a dream space!"
"Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I took multiple bids on my basement project across basement companies in Columbus. Mid state basement systems had the best and most fair pricing. They did not use any scare tactics and were upfront and honest. They were also the only company to use a laser level and show me the sag difference in my joists that I was experiencing. I hired mid-state basement systems to do crawl space support and repair on my load bearing wall in my basement. MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE AS LOAD BEARING WALLS NORMALLY DO NOT NEED TO BE REPAIRED LIKE THIS! At first, it was not level upon completion (BARELY 1/8 INCH OFF) in ONE spot and I let my sales rep Jiovanni know. the team came back out within 48 hrs and adjusted everything and let me take a look at it. They did a fantastic job. The installation crew even wiped down my floors for me after they were done! They were so polite, and respectful and made sure there was no damage to anything as they were moving steel beams to my basement ( my fridge was an object in the way to the basement door ) Do not let competitors make you question the validity of this business. they were fantastic. Rating of sales 5/5 Rating of the installation crew 5/5 Rating of management 5/5 Rating of mid-state as a company : 10/5 I do not believe I would have received this level of responsiveness of any of the competitors. I would choose mid-state basements for any basement project I had. Please use my review to know that mid-state basement systems will do the job the right way and how you need it to be done. In my experience, they offer the most fair pricing."
"Bruce was a wonderful contractor to work with. He checked up the progress of the basement remodel at every step. If something was not correct came up with remedy to fix it immediately. He also has great guys working for him. Shout out to Flavio!"
"Rave delivered on his commitments, and scheduled timeline. My master Bath shower looks amazing. This was a complete bath remodel, new floor plan, removed one load bearing wall, all new plumbing, and electrical. When there was unforeseen items that came up, like wood rot, and additional old plumbing and mold, Rave was very candid with me, and gave reasonable price for the additional work. Thank you Rave, we love our new Master bath!"
"Outstanding job! Best of the best. I have called them twice to help. I wouldn’t call anyone else. Prompt, friendly, courtesy, excellent service with a smile. Again, I will always call them if I need any home repairs. Thank you Jeff and David."
