Let me start by saying this review is long overdue. Hopefully my laziness, and frankly, lack of…read morefollow through can put someone else's fears to rest though, because I am writing this review TWO years after Basement Finish Specialists finished our basement.
I am here to tell you that everything still looks, and operates, just the same as the day they left!
The process from start to finish was great. Our basement started out as a concrete slab with a rough in for pluming. So, they were starting literally from scratch. The quote we received from Mark was spot on when all was said and done.
The entire crew that worked on our basement were very polite, hard working, and clearly skilled in their field. I especially loved that they came in and out of our basement window well each day. It made working from home a little easier, not having people trekking in and out of your house all day long.
Doing any type of work on your home can often become a stressful situation, but our experience was easy and smooth having chosen this company. You can just tell Mark (and his crew too) are honest guys. We definitely felt that, and that was our experience the entire time they worked on our basement.
It sounds funny, but we actually have guests compliment the craftsmanship & finishes of our basement all the time, and tell us "you must have hired a great contractor". Turns out, we did!
My only piece of advice to anyone finishing their basement, is to start planning ahead on certain items that you are able to, and order them as soon as possible. Ask Mark and his team, what are some types of things you can start shopping for (and check in weekly), like, cabinet hardware (once cabinets are ordered & you know the size), light fixtures, maybe even toilets, etc.
Obviously, there are certain things you don't want to buy until you know specific dimensions, like bath vanities, tubs, etc.
I give this advice, because sometimes by the time you are getting close to having these sorts of things installed, just simply due to time, you would only be left to only choose from what's in stock at your local Home Depot/Lowe's etc. These days, 2 years post-covid, I am sure it's even harder to get your hands on items that you might want. The more prepared you are with items that need time to be ordered & shipped from elsewhere or online, the less you have to settle on and the happier you will be in the end. I know this because that is what I did. I checked in often to ask what I could start buying, and I never had to settle. Thus, I have zero regrets!
I highly recommend Basement Finish Specialists, and appreciate the work they did for us. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
