Basic Basement Co

This was by far the best experience I ever had with a contractor. Always on time, always friendly, and extremely efficient. We couldn’t be happier. Will definitely use for future projects.

Basic Basement Co finished our basement. They were on time and at a good price. They worked with the township for all of the applicable permits and made it easy for us. We are enjoying the extra space. Everyone we worked with at the company was helpful and great to work with.

We finished our basement with the Basic companies. They did the wall framing and insulation, dry wall installation, electrical, ceiling, priming and painting and floor installation (vinyl). They also arranged for township approvals and inspections. We are very impressed with the quality of work and the fact that it was completed in a timely manner.

They did all the framing, dry wall, electric, and carpentry work for my basement. It was a very easy efficient process - coordinated step by step. Contractors were always on time and did great work. Price was very reasonable and thrilled with how it turned out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to finish a basement.

Fantastic. Good communication. Quality work. Easy to work with. Would use them again!

Basic Basement Co did an excellent job and made the process painless for me. Everyone who worked on the project was always on time and professional. Gail (project coordinator) and Kevin (project manager) did a great job communicating with us throughout the whole project. We are very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend their services

After getting many estimates, we hired Basic Basement to do our basement. They were the most professional in their presentation and were also the most affordable (1/3 of the price private contractors were quoting). `The work was excellent! They managed every aspect of the project, including getting permits and inspections. Their communication was on point, we were kept informed every step of the way. Everything was completely timely and efficiently. They bring in experts for each task, everything was done correctly, All inspections passed first time. It was an absolute pleasure working with them and we will certainly use them again!!

This project included: preparation of permits, demo of existing walls and ceiling for a 600 sq ft basement, new framing and sheetrock walls and ceiling, electric, recessed lighting, installation of full bathroom (shower, sink, toilet) with ejector pump, vinyl flooring, base molding and doors, new staircase/handrail, painting walls and ceiling. Most importantly: -Final price was the same that was given in the initial estimate, no hidden fees thrown in -Estimation and scoping of project with Todd was low pressure, he did not try to sell us anything we did not want. He asked what we wanted and once that was communicated, he quickly drew up a quote detailing the entire project. We also received mockup computer designs that showed what the finished space might look like. -Responsive to all calls and emails and texts. Gail at the office did a great job with the coordination, scheduling and passing along my questions to the appropriate people. -Kevin, who managed the project, was there to help along the way..a special thank you to him as he kept the project on course and fixed issues that may seem minor to some, but were important to me. -No pressure to do any work that was not initially scoped out -Work was scheduled to complete the job in the shortest timeframe In addition: -All workers were professional and did their respective work with care. Work area was kept clean and trash picked up on a regular basis. -Workers wore masks. -Workers were well prepared and knew the job prior to arriving, did not require much interaction on my part. At the same time, they were accommodating when I wanted to see how the job was progressing and answered questions when I had them. -Payment in several installments was appreciated, and definitely preferable to handing over large sums before any work is completed Thanks to Basic Basements I now have a new living space that my family can enjoy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Basic Basements to family and friends.

It was a very pleasant experience working with Basic Basement Co., we have never experienced such a great professional service before, basement project was well defined from start to finish and everything was done on time accordingly, we would definitely hire them if we need in future. The project coordinator Gail Torellio always responded promptly to any concerns, we appreciate their service.

Amazing!! Our Project Coordinator, Gail, and her team were extremely professional and respectful in our home and listened to our concerns and ideas and helped guide us to this amazing space for my home business and rec area for our kids. We could not be happier with the job they did.

Love it! It’s now our favorite room in the house. Work was performed neatly and in a timely manner. Very organized, inspections done as work was finished. Never missed a day of work. Everyone was courteous, respectful and very easy to deal with. Gave us a schedule each week of what to expect each day. Was accurate with estimate of timeline. Came out better than we had expected!

Basic Basement Co was amazing. A big thank you to Gail and Kevin whom have made the whole process painless. In the very beginning, they were very clear and honest about what they could and couldn't do, which I appreciated. They also outlined exactly what will be done so that there were no surprises. All the workers were very courteous and professional. They answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the end result. We are thrilled with our basement and laundry room and can't wait to use it fully!

I had a wonderful experience working with the Basic Basement Company. Professional, courteous, timely. Gail made the entire process for me so easy and hands off - which is exactly what I was looking for. She took care of everything – scheduling the deliveries, work days, inspections….everything. The crew was so wonderful to work with – on time, efficient, knowledgeable, and just nice. And in this Covid time, always practicing social distancing and all wore masks. I finally love walking into my basement.

I was so pleased with the services provided by Basic Basement Co. The project was so organized and spread over couple weeks. I truly appreciate Gail , Kevin and all the team members who did their part in completing our basement without giving us any hassle. Everything was so planned and team members were punctual and efficient at the tasks they did. We would highly recommend them as the quality of work and price they gave us no one can beat that. We live in a community and probably they did 50 or more basements in this area already and many more to follow.

Basic Basement did a great job remodeling our basement. Our basement was unfinished and we never used it because it looked terrible. Basic Basement was responsive to every inquiry we made during the project, the employees were always on time and professional, and the workmanship was top notch. The cost of the project was fair and did not increase. I strongly recommend this company.

We used Totally Basments to finish our basement this past fall. While it did take a little longer than the originally estimated time of 6 weeks, the basement was completed in a professional manner and all work completed went above our expectations. Every employee showed up at the expected day and time as planned. The teams were very knowledgeable about their specialties and our main contact Bob helped us every step of the way. Thinking each decision through was a breeze because of his experience and knowledge about the business. And his input was very helpful based off of his other customer’s experiences. Gail was also extremely helpful in scheduling/organizing all of the components and keeping our project moving along. Highly recommend them and we would definitely use them again in the future!

Recently, we hired Basic Basement to finish our basement. Gail was the project coordinator and Kevin was the project manager. We are very happy with their work and would like to hire them again in future. They wrap the work before they their timeline though we had Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Gail was always on top of the co-ordination with contractors, us and township. Always received prompt and clear response from her. All of our township inspections has been scheduled within couple days of the work completion. At the first day of the work, Kevin has explained the overall process: what they will do, how long each task will take etc. which was very clear. He has provided his guidance throughout the whole project like which drywall to use and why, which lights, etc. Their contractors were showed up on time, professional and respect our house. He was here almost every time to inspect the work when contractors were here. Very nice to work with. Highly recommended!

The most professional and well managed basement remodeling company we have ever worked with. They came highly recommended by our friends and they fully lived up to all our expectations. Starting with the initial estimation, Jerry was super professional, accommodated our COVID19 concerns by scheduling overviews via Zoom, and answered our every question. No excessive salesmanship, and super professional. Next, our project manager Gail and project supervisor Bob did an excellent job in kicking off the project, getting the required permitting paperwork to us in time, and walking us through every step of the process. Once the work started, everything went like clock work, which is quite amazing, given all the COVID19 restrictions and precautions they had to take. Gail and Bob kept us updated every step of the way, and everything went very smoothly. If they said product was going to get delivered on a specific day, it got delivered on that day. If they said specific work was going to get accomplished, it was accomplished on time and to perfection. When the inspectors came by, they actually sang praise to how great the framing and electrical work was. We've done a lot of remodeling in our home, and seldom has an inspector actually complimented the work. Needless to say, the inspections passed with flying colors. In summary, if you want your basement finished at a reasonable price by an outstanding time, you can't go wrong with The Basic Basement Company. They really are an outstanding team, and nothing about their work is 'Basic'. I would highly recommend.

After receiving multiple quotes, we chose the Basic Basement Co. to finish our basement including adding a 1/2 bath. Right from the start, they were very professional. The overall process was extremely efficient and well-coordinated. Gail, our project coordinator, was superb. She kept us informed of next steps and was very responsive to any questions we had. Great value and craftsmanship! Now we have a great addition to our home that we can enjoy!

Basic Basement was great to work with! From the start, Kevin the salesman was on-time and professional. My project managers Bob and Gail helped me every step of the way (even when my mind changed multiple times!). The contractors were professional, respected my home, and were just great to deal with!

Basic Basements made this process extremely smooth and easy. We were seriously not inconvenienced at all despite having pretty major work done in our home. You now how you get an estimate of a timeline and a bottom line cost and you figure in your mind "ok double that - it'll take twice as long and cost twice as much"? That was not the care at all. Both the price and timeline estimates were exactly right! Gail made scheduling so easy and even helped me communicate with the township about permits and an outside HVAC company and Bob oversaw that everything was smooth. Whether it was the painters, floor company, inspector or family, everyone has commented how clean and beautiful the work looks -- smooth lines and attention to detail. Honestly, I wish that everything in my life went as smooth as this project!

Fantastic! This whole team was amazing from start to finish and the end result exceeded our expectations!

The Basic Basement Co did an outstanding job for us. They finished our basement on time and on budget. They were very professional and courteous, followed all COVID-19 safety protocols, maintained active and pro-active communication, handled all logistical items, and overall exceeded my expectations of what a contractor should be doing. After hearing so many horror stories about other companies, it was great to experience a positive outcome. We got exactly what we wanted.

In short, the best value for service (and professionalism). We selected Basic Basement over other companies based on their Design Consultant (Todd) being so knowledgeable and not pushy. Then, from their excellent waterproofing project, we found their other team members to be so customer-oriented as well - from always keeping us informed with various stages of work (Kevin, Field Manager) to scheduling their work teams and attending to our inquiries satisfactorily and promptly (Gail, Business Manager). This led us to hiring the Company again a few months later for our basement re-modelling. They did an even more excellent job that, from the two projects, we love our basement so much now - it looks great (and per our specifications) and the air smells dry even during long rainy days. They also helped us with town inspections. Truly, a top-notch Company and we recommend it greatly to anyone!

My wife and I did a lot of research when choosing a contractor to help us finish our basement, and Basic Basement Co had come highly recommended by a friend. Not only that, their estimate was the lowest out of any that we had solicited. It was an extremely smooth process and their staff was very helpful and attentive throughout. The work was done on-budget and ahead of schedule and we couldn't be happier with the results. There were no surprises or hidden fees and it looks exactly like what we had hoped. The town inspectors (fire, structural and electrical) all commented separately at how impressed they were with how clean the work was. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to get any kind of work done on their basement. This is what they do, and they absolutely know how to do it!
