First of all... Rob and his crew of guys are amazing all the way to the moon and back! There are so many contractors out there who can come in, give you a quote, create what you think you may want and be on their way. You may be content and satisfied but right off the bat in our first meeting with Rob he brought up at least 10+ things that we had never thought and considered! Rob opened our eyes to so many thoughts, options, considerations which we had never thought of and we would have been disappointed down the road if we had went with anyone else but Rob and the crew! They are a class act, everyday people, respectful to the max and amazing in what they do!!! A+++ 10 star!!! :)
WARNING: Long review to follow...
I have been a little late in posting this as the worst space in our house (the basement) has now become our favorite! We have been furniture shopping lol!!! :) Originally my wife and I had found the "perfect" house that had everything we needed in location, size, shopping, transit, etc etc. It was not "exactly" however perfect for me! We were buying this new house, hoping to start a family down the road in a year or 2 and I was SO bothered buying this house without a finished basement. I have heard dozens of horror stories from friends, co-workers, etc etc of people who were suppose to get the best finished result ever and it came up short, or disappointing in many of the areas. Nobody wants to pay for anything whether its $100 or $10000 and then feel stuck, helpless and unsatisfied!!!
We had wasted our time with a few quotes and decided to have Rob over last because he was the local guy who has been serving the general area, north, south, east and west of Burlington for years and years with positive reviews and different basement/bathroom layout's that were all wild, cool and creative!!!
With a new 1 year old baby Rob was able to teach and inform us of so many things which we didn't ever think of since he is a proud father and family man himself!!! :) We we're always kept in the loop about the progress, what would be happening on a day to day basis etc. Everyday we were always greeted with a hello, good morning, have a nice day and the guys we're respectful, kind, genuine and had a great team attitude together. An estimate, layout, contract was suggested to us after taking all of our input, adding a few things and improved on a couple of our ideas, hopes and dreams!!
Rob and the guys took everything we wanted, needed and made it better than we could ever imagine. They were always considerate and let us know when it may be an extra loud, or noisy day and what would be happening in case we needed to go to the mall for a couple of ours or over to Grammie's for the day with our new baby. Most of the time we didn't even really know they were there beside's coming in and out with or for materials, tools, etc. Of course we knew they were there working, but by no means did it interrupt our daily life and such.
Some of the things that Rob and the guys made happen and came through with was making us a complete bathroom, with shower, breaking the concrete and fitting us in a full 60 x 32 stand up shower while every other contractor wanted to stick us with a small useless, corner shower. With safety and consideration to our baby and future children Rob had suggested half walls going down the stairs for kiddies. Also, other quotes had contractors trying to sell us on these fancy, overkill oak and such stairs which would have not been ideal for us. Rob sent us to his amazing contact Carpet and Flooring guy and we picked out an awesome quality carpet with soft under pad that will be juice proof and kid safe for when they are sliding down the stairs on their butts :) This simple suggestion was was given to us from Rob as a person and not Rob as a contractor out for profit.
Overall... Rob gave us everything we wanted, needed, had hoped for and they some. While our style, choices in paint, flooring may not be for everyone? Its worth a million dollars to us and our friends, family and especially the neighbor's can NOT believe how our COLD, DARK, CONCRETE, depressing, basement which made me feel like it was something out of a prison lol. I am so happy and grateful to have had Rob and the guys design our project which was totally on time, budget and again... they went above and beyond as amazing Human beings and all super Professional in what they do.
Thanks to Rob, all the guys and all the best to you into the future! 10 stars, A+++
Sincerely!,
Jeff, Katie and baby Jake
