basement remodeling
  + -1 more
I contacted five contractors to obtain estimates for remodeling my basement. I left a message with the Foran Company to provide me an estimate. I didn't receive a phone call until 4 days after I left the message. Mr. Foran left message saying he was returning my call from "yesterday" regarding an estimate for a basement remodel. I didn't know 4 days constitutes yesterday. He is not getting an "F" for responsiveness and punctuality since he attempted to contact me again. I'm really dubious about hiring a contractor that takes 4 days to return a call.
Description of Work: No services performed.

They were always prompt and on time. The project cost came in under the estimate. Over all I am completely satisfied with the finished work. They completely cleaned up after themselves when the projects were finished. Pat is completely honest and a good person. The work was of the highest quality, and it was done professionally.
Description of Work: He installed crown molding, and enlarged a window in our brick house. He also created a paver patio for us as well.

He is great. He is extremely responsive, and is easy to get a hold of. The finished product was excellent and he finished on time. He was always prompt and responsive. The workmen cleaned up after themselves daily, so there was no debris around the house. I have recommended him to friends and neighbors and everybody has been happy with his services.
Description of Work: We hired him to remodel the basement.

Everything was very plesant, schedule was kept, showed up early. Great Contractor.
Description of Work: The project was finishing a very large basement 1800 sq ft. Pat and his crew were excellent, and there was immacualte clean-up on a daily basis (Made my wife happy). The origional plans were not exactly as we had invisioned from the designer (Not Foran Co.), and Pat worked with us on achieving exactly what we wanted, and was able to understand our goal and modify the project so we were 110% happy with it. The number came in under budget, and will hopefully be able to use him for any project we have.

Left my house in the morning with a garage that was in complete disarray and came home in the same afternoon to a beautifully organized space. Sports equipment, lawn care items, tools, bikes and more all easy to access. Left my garage spotless.
Description of Work: Installed shelves and other organizational systems to maximize the space in my garage. Everything was easy to get to and placed in the most practical place.
