If I had more energy and time, I should have sued them. Instead I'm writing this post so you don't make the same mistake we did. Again, I would never recommend this company. if you're interested in pics please message me.

B&F just threw all the concrete back in and did not seal the walls where the cellar exit was taken out. He skipped corners and took advantage of the previous owner and now I'M paying for it.

He was high quality and the best price by far from all the quotes. The following year we needed new drain tile put in due to hydrostatic lifting (unrelated to the previous). Rob came in beyond 10k cheaper than all the normal companies. Knowing he does quality work and stands by it, we obviously went with him. His crew is reliable and simply nice guys. Left the place clean and their approach to the work saved me thousands in additional repair during the basement remodel. I can't say enough how happy I am and how easy it is to recommend him.

We loved our experience. He respected our time and our home. He did a French drain and sump pump in our 130 year old basement . Lots of challenges. The team worked and troubleshooted until the job was done. Came back when a leak sprung randomly and fixed it on the spot. Rob knows basements. No bs. No long sales pitch. Just great work until the basement is dry.

We did get 3 different prices, and diamond was almost half the price of everyone else. Which kind of made us a little leery. But as James explained to us, we will not have to pay any money until that portion of the project is complete, which gave us a lot of faith in them. We are very pleased with there wirkmanship.

I should have trusted my instincts when James tried to quit three times, once before even starting…read morebecause enough we were backing out and his guys were going to be left without work -- that was the first red flag. Another major one is the way he talks to people. Just read his responses to reviews -- he actually calls customers "idiots." Who does that? A business owner should never speak to clients that way. Don't let him bully you. To be fair, his crew -- the ones who actually do the hands-on work like framing and drywall -- are polite and hardworking. But James himself is extremely rude and unprofessional. He doesn't treat clients as partners or equals. He called us "kids" multiple times and even said we "must not be happy in our lives" and that we're not his "whipping posts." He also made major decisions without consulting us, like changing insulation plans on the fly. The HVAC work was done using cheap flexible hose for a long dryer vent run instead of proper galvanized piping. They also don't solder copper, so expect everything to be done with PEX. glorified framers -- the drywallers were outsourced. He might offer the lowest price, but you truly get what you pay for. Do yourself a favor and pay a bit more for a contractor who treats you with respect and communicates like a professional. When he quit halfway through the job, he left several things incomplete. He never installed the laundry room door, didn't put the light fixture back, and used a 3-inch trim piece where a 5-inch one was supposed to go. They didn't fill nail holes, paint, or caulk any of the trim. Outlet faceplates were never put back on, and he simply walked away leaving it all unfinished. He kept on referring that he gave us a deal and did more work than we paid him for. He referred multiple times to the fact that I talked him down 2-3k off the price like any normal customer should do by negotiating a price. James quit because we asked too many questions and challenged him on things we noticed -- not out of disrespect, but because we have some knowledge of basic remodeling. Instead of having a professional discussion, he took everything personally and left the project incomplete. He will probably respond to this immaturely instead of taking ownership and accountability
