I hired Ben's team at CWC Basements after interviewing about 5 basement contractors. My basement was framed out by a previous owner for a bedroom, bathroom, and closet but the layout was awkward. Ben won the contract based on several factors. First, he visualized solutions to the layout that were more ideal than any of the other offerors and second he gave a fair and reasonable estimate for the work.
Ben also went the extra mile when he offered me his electrician's phone number after he noted that much of our finished basement space had questionable electrical work when he was just there to do the estimate. This was offered irrespective of if I hired him. I did bring in his electrician, and he did find nightmares throughout the previous homer wiring job and fixed them for a reasonable price.
His team was simply amazing when they arrived exactly on time on the first day. After starting work, Ben's team noticed that the plan for the layout still wasn't quite as smooth as it could be. They spent about 20 minutes with my wife and I discussing framing and door options. What they came up with was simply the perfect layout and only added a few hundred dollars to the project. This extra care was by far beyond expectations and simply made the final product a pure joy. The add-on expense was incredibly reasonable for the amount of work added.
CWC Basements was hired to complete the framing, electrical, drywall, ceiling, plumbing, and also breakup and repair concrete while doing rough plumbing for the bathroom. This work was all done quickly and expertly and allowed me to do the finish work as I wanted to do this myself to save money. Ben was really great about working with me in this regard.
In the end, my spouse is hoping to convince me to bring this team back to redo a couple bathrooms on our main floor as she was so pleased with how the basement space turned out. read more
