Was thinking this afternoon about the work that your team did last summer and how the basement turned out - in hindsight, turning the basement into useable space was hands down the best house decision that we've done in years - the space is a true office for me, and we have place for all the kids toys / etc. you all did a great job, from the design to scheduling to how the space turned out.
Wanted to drop you and your team a note of thanks, I appreciate the work and would be happy to be a reference going forward. I wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful experience of having Better Built Basements finish our basement. As you know, we shopped around quite a bit after we first met you, and after making all the comparisons, we decided to put our trust in you.

Putting a custom bar in your basement can be great for so many reasons. For starters, you can use the space to entertain any guests you might have. Having a bar separate from the kitchen in your home gives you more ability to stock different kinds of alcohol to appeal to everyone's different tastes.

Working with Better Built Basements was the best decision we could have made for our basement remodel. The team was extremely professional, courteous, timely, and responsive throughout the process. They had great ideas about how to maximize what we most wanted/needed from our space, and helped us to create a space that's added so much usable space and value to our home. Communication was exceptional, with all members of the team prepared to answer questions, make adjustments, explain next steps, etc. In addition, they helped us solve challenges along the way (hello, leaky toilet) to minimize stress

Working with BBB was great. They were very forthright about the process and pricing from the beginning. We felt very comfortable with the design process and we’re able to have all our wants and needs taken into account. Once the construction process started, the project management website was incredible. The timelines and what to expect were all there. Communication with Robert, Ben, Kaitlyn and Jake was fantastic throughout.
The finished basement exceeded our expectations and the entire family is in love

They are the best!! We finished our basement about 900 sq ft which included play, workout, and family area as well as a full bathroom. From the initial meet and greet and walk through with Robert, throughout our entire finishing of our basement-everyone was polite, professional, and very clean. Jim and Kaitlyn were very responsive during the whole process and so easy to work with. Even a few punch list items once we finished. We had a built and we love it-we met with the carpenter and 100% custom to what we wanted. Plus they built it on site. I would highly recommend this company.

BBB took our basement from studs to beautifully finished in five weeks. The complete transformation not only added comfortable, insulated useable space to our home, but certainly increased the financial value. We had received quotes from other vendors, and Jim landed in the middle. We selected him and his team given their expertise and professionalism. We appreciated their communication, timeliness, and "best practice" advice throughout the process. They used project plans, formal sign-offs, and proactive phone calls to demonstrate their planning & communication ability. Jim & Jake balanced our

Working with Better Built Basements was fantastic. When I was looking for a business to complete my kitchen and bathroom remodel, I wanted a company that would handle every stage of my project. Better Built is that company. They handled demo, electrical, plumbing, installation and then some. Better Built simplifies the project and helps you through the process one step at a time to make it less stressful. The Better Built team was helpful and responsive to all my needs. I highly recommend them.
