UPDATE (5/18/16): There was an issue with a pipe in the basement and Basic Basement returned with a…read moreplumber. They had to open up the wall to access the pipe but repaired it like nothing happened. This shows that they do stand by their work. The owner of the company called me and apologized for the trouble of the basement finishing, assuring me that they take pride in what they do, which is evident by the fact that they opened up and repaired a wall for no charge, something i appreciated. I've increased the rating from 2-star to 3-star for that and because all said and done, the final basement looks pretty good. --------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Basement is very basic and will do the least amount possible to get the job done and take way too long to do it. There were many issues along the way and while they responded to them, they shouldn't have happened in the first place. Our job, which began on October 26, was supposed to be three weeks and wound up being 9 weeks. Even with Thanksgiving in there, this is way to long for a simple basement refinishing. Things started poorly in September, when they sent our inspection paperwork to the wrong address. After a week of waiting for it, I contacted them and the error was discovered. They sent new paperwork and I took time off from work to drop it off at the township, only to be rejected on the spot because the paperwork wasn't signed. That meant more time to get new paperwork, which again wasn't delivered when we were told it would be. Once it was, more time off from work to drop it off. The first of many delays. The framing went well, though one day the guys had to quit halfway through because they ran out of wood. Deliveries were scheduled and I changed around my schedule for them, but then the deliveries didn't happen and that caused more delays. There were things about the job that were completely amateur. Some I pointed out, others I didn't, but had I not requested they be fixed, they would still be like that (see photos). Debris clogged our French drain and I asked multiple times to have it corrected. It took until after the trim was put on and three requests later for it to be cleared out. By that point, there was some water that came up. Where the drywall meets the stairs there were gaps that I wanted corrected. I requested this multiple times. Finally they sent over a carpenter to fix a couple issues and while I made a lot of noise about this one, he was never even told about it. Fortunately, a painter we hired separately corrected it (as well as other issues from Basic Basement). This speaks volumes about the annoying communication with Basic Basement. Any issues go through Gail at their office. Gail is not easy to get a hold of and I had emails to her go unanswered for days. Without a cell phone number, the only phone number is her office, which did not get picked up often. The company was supposed to clean around our house and barely did that. I had to tell them three times about trash they left around the house. Even after they finally did pick up some of the remaining stuff, I still had to go around and get a bunch of big stuff that they missed since my kids were touching the pieces of glass and large shards of wood leftover. Additionally, the workers left cigarette butts on our lawn and driveway. (they also had garbage sit for days in our driveway before finally having their truck pick it up. I almost would've preferred a dumpster). When the original contract was drawn up, I was going to be charged $550 for the framing and installation of an exterior door (which I also had to purchase). It turned out they did not need to frame it and instead, were able to simply cut the solid wooden door I purchased to fit the space. They also put hinges on it - all things they did for the interior doors too - yet for this one they charged me $200. I felt it was a petty charge since I would've done the couple minutes work on it myself had I known it would've cost that much. They felt differently, claiming they had told me it would still cost $200 without the framing. I don't have it in writing either way so I lose, but thought that as a courtesy and to make up for the amount of time the job took, they'd waive the charge. They didn't.

My advice is to avoid The Basic Basement Company…read more First, the company's 800 square foot/$9,999 advertisement is just a gimmick to get in the door. While the salesman was nice enough, the mathematical jiu jitso performed rapidly to explain why that price was impossible for my 344 square foot unfinished basement space made it clear no one gets that price. As I debated hiring them, I received numerous, urgent emails and calls saying I had to decide by a random date. I should have known better. I'm normally not taken in by these high-pressure sales tactics, but I fell for it. And I very much regret it. Second, the basement that was supposed to be done in 90-days took five months. Again, this was a 344 square foot unfinished space that required framing, electrical and drywall. They did not paint or install flooring. I was told they don't do flooring. Five. Long. Months. Third, the drywall guys left my garage door open. In their defense, I opened it for them and it was on me to close it. While this wouldn't have been a big deal under a normal situation, it was a big deal because when they left (never letting me know as I was working in my home office in the front of the house) they also left the door between my family room and garage wide open. When I got off a call to check on them, my 7-month-old Golden Retriever walked out of the office with me and into the family room (not unusual) ... and then ran right out the door, down the driveway and onto the main road. It took me more than 15 minutes to find him (he's fast) and another 10 to get him back to the house. Fortunately, he was not hit by a car. I called immediately to raise a little hell about this and the next day when they returned ... no apology was offered AND they did it again! I learned my lesson, though, and crated my dog for the duration of the time The Basic Basement Co. workers were at my home. Fourth, they left my basement - both the smaller space they worked in as well as the larger 900 square foot unfinished space with storage and exercise equipment - covered in lots of drywall dust. At no point in the drywall process did they cover the door to the separate, 344-sq.-ft. space that was being worked on. Everything I own down there is covered in an inch or more of dust. I'll be cleaning up for months. Also, the room itself was left a mess. The concrete floor was covered in dust and clumps of spackle. The door and door knob (both sides!) were also covered in spackle. And the last two bags of trash from their work sat in my driveway from early December until the middle of February. They also never consulted with me when decisions needed to be made during the project - the biggest one being that they decided on their own to create four different ceiling heights in this 344 sq.ft. space. I knew there would be two levels because some duct work runs through the middle of the room. But the third as created because they said that was the only way to connect the wall to the ceiling in one corner and the forth height variation was created because a single television cable wire ran across one section. They don't touch even low-voltage wires. But they never let me know this. I could have (and ultimately did) have the wire moved by a separate contractor. Instead, they had to make a second trip a week or so later to tear out some of these various ceiling heights and make it a bit more even. There were countless other issues too minor to detail individually. But the "basic" take away is I feel I paid a little too much, it took a little too long, the ability of their workers to be thoughtful and respectful of being in my home was non-existent, and the clean-up was unacceptable for what I paid. Workers showed up in some cases dressed like they were homeless (it's construction and I don't expect suits and ties, but no uniforms and literally looking bedraggled). Honestly, there were mornings when I opened my door and I wasn't 100% comfortable letting them in. I have a family to think about. They also snuck out like cats without a word and clearly weren't concerned with making sure the pieces of the project they were responsible for aligned with what I wanted or asked for. What I will say is the drywall work itself was decent (there were issues there, but nothing extreme in terms of quality) and the look of the space is good. But another contractor could have done it in less than one fifth the time and probably for a little less money. Also, I want to compliment Gail in their office. She was a genuinely respectful, responsive and helpful person to work with. I think she does the best she can with a pretty challenging organization whose workers made plain they are underpaid, overworked and not happy to be in my home or anyone else's. Stay away from Basic Basement.

We received several recommendations, but decided to contact Principal Property Solutions because Charlie was the only one who shared a photo of a similar attic stair project along with a link to the company's website. After seeing that they were fully licensed, bonded, and insured (and reading their excellent reviews) we felt confident reaching out. Submitting a request through their website was easy, and Charlie responded quickly. His quote was fair and within our expectations, and he was able to schedule the installation within about two weeks. Before the job, he also helped my husband confirm that we had ordered the correct size replacement stairs and patiently answered all of our questions. On the day of the installation, one of Charlie's employees unexpectedly called out sick, causing a slight delay. Rather than leaving us wondering, Charlie kept us informed throughout the morning, explained the situation, and let us know exactly when to expect him. That level of communication was greatly appreciated. Charlie and his employee, Henry, were both professional, friendly, and respectful. They arrived prepared, protected our floors with tarps before beginning work, and kept us updated as the installation progressed. Charlie even pointed out several deficiencies in the previous attic stair installation and corrected them as part of the job, which gave us even more confidence in the quality of the work. The finished installation is sturdy, operates smoothly, and looks like it will last for decades. One thing that also stood out was Charlie's professionalism beyond our project. As the general contractor, he occasionally needed to take calls from current and prospective clients. He always stepped outside to avoid disrupting the work, and from the brief conversations I overheard, he was consistently courteous, reassuring, and professional. He returned to the job promptly each time. When the work was complete, everything was cleaned up thoroughly, there were no surprise charges, and the final cost matched the original quote. We would absolutely hire Principal Property Solutions again. Although they handle larger remodeling projects as well, they treated our small job with the same level of professionalism and care. It's refreshing to find a contractor who values clear communication, quality workmanship, and customer service regardless of project size. Thank you, Charlie and Henry, for fitting us into your busy summer schedule. We recommend Principal Property Solutions without hesitation.
