Let me start this off by saying we liked Jordon and Cam so much that we had them over to dinner…read moreonce our basement remodel was finished. Dinner. With our basement contractors. That's huge.
After working with contractors so closely for weeks and weeks, it might have been enough to say "Here's a check, see ya later." But these two (and mostly Jordon) were a huge part of my life on a daily basis and I have to say I was a bit bummed when the project was over. I stay at home with my kids and not only did Jordon provide me with some adult interaction, but he and Cam always made time to talk to my toddler even when they'd been here all day and just wanted to go home.
Short story long, these guys are good people. I trusted them (still do) with my home and my kids.
The project was an entire gut remodel of an approximately 1300sf basement. It was permitted and done to code. They (and their licensed subcontractors) demoed, did an egress window, framed, insulated, drywalled, plumbed, did electrical, painted, carpeted, laid plank vinyl, etc.
We had a few concerns before choosing a contractor, namely:
1) that we would choose quality contractors (our kitchen guy turned out to be a real piece of work), and
2) that the estimated project cost wasn't going to skyrocket throughout the project due to poor planning on the contractor's part.
Turns out we DID choose quality contractors which was apparent throughout the project in how respectful they were, how respectful their subcontractors were, and how they listened to us and worked to do as we pleased. The project cost did NOT skyrocket on their part (but it did increase a bit on our end when we decided to add and change a few things as the project went along).
Some things were unforeseen like some small foundation cracks that we decided to have professionally fixed, and some new code changes for 2017 that were discovered at the time of permitting, but all in all it was at our budget, done well, done professionally, and we are so very happy with the results.
Before we chose them, I had at least 8 people come to bid the project and spoke to probably 15-20 others. It was a long process to come up with someone. We almost went with someone else but it fell through, and although I was upset at the time I know everything happens for a reason. If meeting Jordon and Cam was the reason, then I'm glad for it.
In fact, I saw them again today to quote two other smaller jobs, so needless to say I hope to work with these guys again.
Do yourself a favor and have them bid your work, and then go ahead and sign with them.
