EXECUTIVE BASEMENTS

Bobby is a true building professional, as are his subcontractors. They take tremendous pride in their work, and it shows in what they do. From my initial contact with Bobby in February 2012 through the contract signing in late June, Bobby consistently provided timely information and estimates for the work, and suggested practical improvements to the design. When the basement finish work commenced in early August 2012, Bobby was there to complete the rough framing. Bobby then coordinated the work of his electrical, plumbing, window, and drywall subcontractors who all did excellent work, not only on the basement, but on other items elsewhere in the house that I'd discussed with Bobby. Bobby handled the insulation himself. With the drywall complete, Bobby completed the painting, doors, and trim finish and carpentry. Bobby coordinated his electrical, flooring, carpet, and plumbing contractors for their finish work, and finished off the phone line connections for his electricians. Bobby completed some aspects of the work while we were on vacation. With respect to the radon system and fireplace, Bobby completed the radon system himself. Test results indicated radon levels in the house were successfully reduced from about 15 pCi/L to 1.3 pCi/L. Bobby worked with Western Fireplace on the fireplace roughin, completed the framing himself, coordinated the plumbing, electrical, and drywall subcontractors, and finished the painting, mantle and granite installations. The fireplace is now one of our favorite pieces of the home. Bobby also installed our new flat screen HD TV above the fireplace at no extra charge. Along the way, we talked with Bobby about a lot of details and items, and he consistently sought direction and input as needed to finish the job. We had never been involved in a construction project of this magnitude or type. Bobby was very patient with us, explained everything to us as well as he could, and we learned a lot. The most important thing we learned was the value of having a highly qualified, trustworthy professional whose eye for detail is equal to our own. Bobby is a credit to the building profession.

At every step in the process Bobby kept us in the loop of how things were going, followed a time frame that was consistently accurate and we always knew what to expect next because of his good communication. He was flexible if we changed our mind about things and gave us realistic and trustworthy advice when we had a hard time making a decision. Bobby went way above and beyond his role as our contractor. He came by on a Sunday to instal our TV mount and graciously offered to hang a second one in our upstairs when he could see we were having a hard time with it. He was easy to get in touch with and kept us informed about all aspects of the project. We even were in touch with him on Thanksgiving day when we had an unrelated plumbing issue and he arranged his plumber out to us in no time! My kids were always excited to see him when he arrived and they quickly treated him as more like a family friend. I would STRONGLY recommend Executive Basements if you are thinking about doing any sort of remodeling project. I have to say it again, if you are thinking about doing any sort of remodeling project, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND EXECUTIVE BASEMENTS. You won't ever regret your decision. UPDATED ON 04/21/2012: Forgot to mention in my review that Executive Basements also arranged to have movers take care of clearing out our basement as it was difficult for us to do this with 2 2 year olds and a 5 year old running around!!! The young men who moved our furniture were professional, curteous, neat, organized and trustworthy. It totally made the initial phase of our project move along faster than we would have been able to accomplish on our own. Again, the service provided by Bobby was above and beyond.
