I could not be happier with the work Matrix Basements did on our basement! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled. They transformed our unfinished space into a beautiful, functional area that our whole family can enjoy. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding every detail was thoughtfully executed. They stayed on schedule and within budget, which was a huge plus. The team was also great at communicating with us throughout the project, ensuring we were informed and comfortable every step of the way. Our new basement has completely exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a remodeler who delivers exceptional results with top-notch service, I highly recommend Matrix Basement Finishing. They truly deserve all five stars!

Getting in touch with Victor, the project manager, was fairly easy via text message. There were a couple times that some of the subs messed up and Victor stepped right in to help us out. Even after hours. I would highly recommend using Matrix.

From beginning to finished product, it was a great experience. Having the schedule accessible 24/7 was a bonus. There was no surprises. This also made communication easy. Loved having all documents available in one location. All workers were respectful and professional. If there were any issues, it was easy to communicate with them. They will work with any budget.

We chose Matrix for our basement remodeling. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a "headache-free" experience. They are professional and keep the customer informed of the project status while it progresses. The project manager was always on top of any issues that might arise. We didn't have the time or energy to deal with shoddy contractors, that is why we went with Matrix. -I'm glad we did!!

Yes, I cannot lie it was pricey however everything was done impeccably and I had the assurance that it was all done correctly....I am so pleased Sept thru January ( A big help was 0% financing on $100,000 for 5 yrs....) I have sent family and friends pics during this process and I do have a friend who is most interested in having her work done by Matrix for her basement also...Not to mention that we are considering getting a bid from Matrix for a year round cottage build on Gravel Lake in Lawton, MI....Everything is 98% finished and we know that our project manager will attend to getting the last few details finished...After we get the final painting done and get all furnished we will have several open house showings to share our beautiful new space that makes my duplex perfect and useful in my nearly 1,600 sq ft basement that now has a wonderful bedroom, full bath, snack bar, large family room with game/ reading nook and louvered doors to large storage room that is all completely finished...Best workers ever!!!
