Work went really well. Appreciated having a project manager on site before framing started to confirm the layout I wanted. Very professional. Each crew that came in was respectful of my house and nice to interact with. We made a few changes a long the way that they were accommodating of, like deciding to replace the drywall in the stairwell and add solid core instead of hollow core doors. We had several township inspections along the way and the inspectors were all impressed. He'd seen a lot of the work from this company and referred to them as "a well oiled machine". I agree. Highly recommend!

I am so happy with how our basement turned out. We had a small, partial basement completely unfinished, was just disgusting. Its now a bright, beautiful playroom for our children. The crew did an amazing job. Gail is phenomenal. Would use them again and again. Very happy! Was worth every penny! Thank you

After the installation of my French drain /sump pump, we hired the Basic Basement Company to finish one side of our basement. All portions of the project went smooth and rather quickly. (Started the end of October/Finished middle of February) The only delay was the Christmas holiday/New Years weeks off and my personal 2 week vacation. Thanks to my Sales Rep Ed , coordinator Gail, project manager Mike and everyone else from the electricians to the painters for such a wonderful transformation.

From the beginning, the Basic Basement Co. was everything we could have asked for in a contractor. Our project manager Mike and the office manager Gail were professional, responsive, and transparent at every point in the process. We had a completely unfinished 1000 square feet concrete basement that has been transformed into 800 square feet of livable and enjoyable space. The team listened to our requests and wishes, and made everything come true for us. We highly recommend the Basic Basement Co. to those looking to enhance their home. This is one of the best decisions we've made in our house, and we can't wait to make memories in our new basement!

We had our basement finished by Basic Basement Company and we could not be happier and had an overall very pleasant experience with them. They are knowledgeable and efficient. They handled all matters with scheduling, permits, and inspections and just made something that could be a potentially stressful into a really easy experience. Gail and Mike were both very responsive and easy going to work with. Highly recommend and would love to work with them again for future projects. Richard W.

Extremely satisfied with the work completed by The Basic Basement Company! From start to the finish, Gail (our project manager) did a fantastic job keeping us informed regarding next steps and the timeline for each stage of the project. She is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns and I felt very comfortable with her as my point of contact. Every crew for each part of the project was courteous, professional, and respectful of my home. The entire process was flawless and Basic Basement Co. did a great job making my vision a reality. My now finished basement exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to spend time in my new space. Thank you Gail and team for everything!

After a number of estimates we decided to use The Basic Basement Company. We were extremely happy with the completion of the project, the forecasted date of completion, and the communication from the office during construction. Gail was excellent throughout the process and she emailed us to let us know the next steps, what was to be completed, and if we needed to do anything. Mike was a great PM who addressed all of our needs and concerns. We have recommended the Basic Basement Company to friends and family. Everyone who has seen our basement is impressed with the job that was completed. I would not hesitate to hire the Basic Basement Company for future projects.

We live in Central NJ and wanted our 1960 basement finished so our kids had a large place to play. We got estimates from a few companies but we liked this company the best! The whole process was easy and straight forward. (They also offer water proofing but we already had another company lined up prior). After the blue prints and permits are completed and paid, construction starts. All supplies are delivered the day prior. From what I remember, our project was broken up into the following construction parts: 1) framing, 2) rough electrical, 3) insulation, 4) drywall, 5) Spackling, 6) Sanding, 7) final electrical, 8) doors & molding, 9) Flooring. There will be inspecting in between from your township and the company. The workers and project managers were great, knowledgeable, and friendly. There is clear communication throughout the project and any issues or concerns you have are immediately addressed. We had the kids and dog at home on all the project days with no issues. There were no “surprise” issued that required us to spend more money. The cost of the entire project is upfront. They do offer upgrades such as nicer molding, mold resistant drywall, nicer quality wood for the stairs (we had the stairs replaced too), and more. We are very happy with their work and love our basement. I highly recommend them!

This was the best experience I've had with a contractor by far. In the past 12 years since I've owned my home I have had dozens of contractors come through for estimates and work for various upgrades and projects in the house. Each step of the process was smooth and efficient with surprisingly no headaches or unforeseen issues. Each crew that came in specialized in their part of the process whether it be drywall, painting or electrical and all treated my home with respect as some contractors can be very messy. I will be recommending the Basic Basement company to all of my family and friends =)

We just used Basic for the second time to refinish our basement (we recently moved). We would happily use them again. From the sales process to construction they're professional and responsive. They come up with creative solutions to unique basement quirks and always finish on time and on budget. We 100% recommend.

Wow! Unbelievable company. I could not be happier with the basic basement company. Every crew was on time, professional, and friendly. Every day they cleaned up and took any trash out. They walked me through each day and the final product. Gail and her team were tremendous! She was so detailed with every step and made what could be a tense project…stress free for me from start to finish. She was extremely prompt with any questions I had. This company came highly recommended and I will now pass that along. I highly recommend them for any services. I will be using them for additional projects in the near future.

I would highly recommend The Basic Basement Company to finish your basement. We contracted with them during fall of 2021 and work was completed in March 2022. They have a lot of clients, so there might be a wait for work to begin. Overall, they were really patient with us and easy to work with. They plan the work carefully with you, giving you valuable suggestions during the planning process. When the work began, they made slight modifications to the plan which allowed us to better utilize our space. The electrician worked with us to place extra outlets for our TV. They also upgraded the lighting to daylight LEDs for a small added cost. They also have a great payment plan -- payments are spaced out over the course of work. Since this was our 1st basement project, we were really concerned about customizing the basement for our family needs. This company really helped. I really don't have any complaints and would recommend you consider them. Note: it can take a couple months for the work to be finished. The same team does not complete everything. Instead, they hire teams of contractors for specific tasks (installing the wood frame, electrical wiring, painting, etc.)

We were very happy with the process from start to finish. Professional and organized office staff (Gail) was amazing to work with. She answered all emails and questions promptly. She took care of all the scheduling, trash pick up and township permits . Todd helped us with our basement design and gave us a quote on the spot. Bob and mike our project managers made sure we were happy with the work being done and came to check on things periodically . Even when we wanted to make adjustments mid project to add more features they made it happen. The crew was ALWAYS on time . My husband who is meticulous about things would go down to the basement after the crew left to check out the work and he never had a complaint. The price was reasonable and the work was done well. I would definitely recommend basic basement co to anyone looking to finish their basement.

Basic Bassments did a wonderful job in waterproofing and remodeling our basement. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and very professional. The workmanship was really good…township inspectors commented on good the electrical and plumbing work looked. Basic Basements was always on time and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Basic Basements and would definitely use them again.
