"The crew came to the house and modified their way of working to accommodate the tight work space. They were friendly and went above what they had to do by saving my flowers out of my flower bed before they began digging out the space. They answered my questions and explained how things were going. The company owner often checked in by phone and in person to communicate with me regarding the job."

"They removed the door and c replaced with a new one. Before they put the frame they realized that sheet rock needs replacement and they said they cannot put the frame and then remove it again to fix the sheet rock. They said they will come back in Thursday. The owner texted me acting 240p when I contacted him asking what time they will be here to finish the job. He said he is coming himself to make sure the job is properly done. I didn’t hear from them until around 5:43pm he said he was caught in traffic and will arrive around 7pm and I told them it’s too late because I was going to sleep because I have to go to work tomorrow. That’s when I texted him that he should have told me earlier that they are going bit be late. That’s when we started exchanging texts which I posted on the website. I told him that that’s not right to do that to a customer. He said that I can keep the door and send me $20 for the frame. I paid him $700 for a $750 job and the job is not finished. Putting the shed rock he had said it will be extra $100 to make it $850 and he wanted all the money on Monday and I refused to pay all of it because I was afraid they might not come back and which I am now realizing that that’s what happened."

"Awful. Absolutely awful. We hired them for an insurance claim. The job was extremely sloppy. The drywall is uneven and chunky. There was paint splatter on my floor that no one felt the need to clean up. There was a spot on my floor that was supposed to be fixed under the carpeting. It was never fixed and I paid out of pocket to have that carpeting replaced and that floor fixed. the padding was never replaced under that section of carpet either and I paid for that too!! When I brought it up to the owner, I receive no response. I have called and left voicemails, my wife has called and left voicemails. I even contacted the restoration company who hired these goons, and they are just passing us off to the owner like it's all his fault. NO you hired an incompetent contractor. He has been to small claims court before, he may be going there again if this issue isn't resolved."

"TLDR: Have the quality of the work stated in the contract, not just that the work will be done. This was by far the worst contractor I have ever hired. I hired them to hang drywall in 2 bedrooms, box in a pole in my basement, box in a duct, finish mud on some drywall that I hung myself, and paint my kitchen/living room. They continually messed up and I had to personally show/tell them how to do their job. The pole they boxed in, in my basement, was over an inch and a half out of level. To the naked eye, it looked like it was leaning. Same thing with the duct they boxed in. When confronted, they blamed my children for kicking the pole out of level, when it was actually screwed into my concrete foundation. They claimed to have built the duct box out of square on purpose. They flat out missed spots in my living room when they were painting because they were careless. You can see individual roller marks on the walls. Drip marks abound. My 10 year old could have done a better job painting with a roller than these guys did. There is paint all over my vaulted hardwood ceilings that they didn't bother to clean. There is paint on my kitchen table. There is paint on almost every door and window in every room they painted. One evening they left and I had to clean up their paint pans and rollers. The drywall work is possibly the worst I have ever seen. I can see most of the drywall seams because the mud is feathered so poorly. They missed every outlet box they cut out in the two bedrooms. Then they just fished the wires through the hole and screwed the outlets into the drywall. They continually did not bring the tools and supplies they needed to do the job that day. Usually blaming my children for taking supplies they claimed to have left the day before when I never even saw them. They went so far as to claim my dog ate an entire 18 lb bag of quick set drywall mud. They often borrowed my tools to get the job done. They left my $600 flexvolt miter saw out on the deck in the rain and below freezing temperatures with two 12 amp hour batteries in it. They would have walked off with my impact driver if i hadn't caught them. They did get away with my chalk line, two screwdrivers, and a paint pan. For real.... They were hired to paint and had to borrow my paint pan. I cant even make this stuff up. Rarely showing up before noon and often staying past eight or nine in the evening. They didn't leave my house until ten thirty once. Sheena left her cigarettes on my 10 year old daughter's dresser. They left an open razor knife on my other daughter's desk (my children are all 10 years old and younger). Their communication was absolutely abhorrent. I never knew if they were going to show up. Once, Sheena texted me that they were on their way (45 minutes, an hour max of travel) and showed up 3 hours later. Some days they just plain didn't bother to show up at all and didn't tell me at all that they weren't coming. It seriously takes 90 seconds to send a quick text saying "hey there was an ice storm and we can't make it today because of the weather." The entire job was supposed to take a week, but to be on the safe side they said 2 weeks in the contract. They finished on day 19. Nearly 3 weeks to finish a week's worth of work. These guys are absolute clowns. If I could rate 0 stars, I would."

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:
Replacing insulation
Replacing carpet or other flooring
Adding heating and cooling
Adjusting or adding walls and doors
Altering or adding plumbing elements
If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:
Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel
Installing light fixtures yourself
Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones
Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
