Deck or Porch
Yes, I recommend this pro
Eric fought hard for our business and came through on a complicated deck design that had logistical challenges. He was trustworthy, very communicative and cared a great deal about his reputation. He's a man of his word and finishes what he says he will do. Job site was always clean. His workers were a pleasure to be around. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a deck design/build contractor.

Deck or Porch - Repair
Yes, I recommend this pro
Customer service, quality, trustworthy and dependable are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Eric and Joel. We were in need of having our front porch replaced due to rotting wood, which was creating some safety issues. I had Eric and some other bidders come out and look at the job and as soon as I met Eric I felt very comfortable in entrusting him in handling our project. Of course, the pricing had to be right and to my delight, it was. After selecting Eric to perform the work, he was very easy to communicate with in terms of setting up the dates of the job and even our last minute changes to the work. He was very responsive, which was a huge benefit for me, especially since my work schedule can be hectic at times. He made the process very easy! As for the work, I was actually out of town on business the days that he and Joel completed the work, so my Wife was my eyes and ears as I was away. My Wife loved them and admits that she probably annoyed them with all her questions��� As for the finished product, we couldn���t be happier! In my opinion, Eric and Joel are genuine guys that truly take pride in what they do and will do whatever it takes to satisfy their customers. I highly recommend them for any project that you are looking to get done. Thanks again guys!

They did a good job in a very short time. I didn't ask for estimates from other companies as I liked them and believed them and hired them quickly, so I have no idea about their pricing. It was one of the most expensive home projects of mine, but i am happy with the job.

Eric and his crew did a great job! I would highly recommend his services to friends and family. Not only did they do a professional job but they are very honest and trustworthy. The type of professionalism and character they displayed is very tough to find in the construction services industry. I plan on using Freedom Basement Solutions for other projects that we will have going on in the future.

Eric did a fantastic job on the egress window installation. There were delays in starting the project due to weather but he did a great job communicating when the project would be started and he worked overtime to complete the job. He also recommended additional work to help with drainage issues we were having in our yard and that work was completed timely and the results have fixed the issues we were having. I would highly recommend him. He is very professional and delivered a good quality product for a reasonable price.

Originally I had a hard time hooking up with Eric because he was starting a new business in Tennessee. I was needing an Egress window installed in Normal IL. After we agreed on what exactly I needed done he worked very hard to and knocked out the job in an expeditious manner. He helped me out a little on placing dirt where I needed it as well. He is a very nice person, very trustworthy and did excellent work. The egress window looks and works great. He also gave me some advice on a french drain I will probably install myself. I would recommend his work to anyone.
Response from Freedom Basement Solutions
"Thanks for the great review Von! The custom egress well we installed turned out great! So glad you are happy with the work and all the references!"

I do not know who these other people were reviewing, it certainly was not the "job I got". He gave me a lead time of 6 weeks and it was 3 months and numerous calls and emails before he showed up. Said it would take 2 days but took 3 long days. Quality of the materials he used were excellent; however the skill level in installing and how he left the job site was BAD. It took a skilled carpenter 2 days to repair the damage he did to inside of basement. Outside was also left in a mess. Nice guy with "sales & marketing" skills but marginal carpentry skills to install egress windows. BE AWARE.

"Please read all our reviews. Unfortunately the claims made within are miss-representations of actual events. In all my years this customer stands unique in their dissatisfaction. I am a small owner operator and work personally on every job. I take the satisfaction of my customers very personally, and was deeply grieved to learn of this customers dissatisfaction. We were denied when we asked how we could correct the situation. I am pleased to share to details. Call anytime, and enjoy reading the reiviews of the many other super satisfied customers we have had the pleasure of serving. Thank you...Eric"

I can't think of anything else the company could have done differently! Everything was as expected. Prompt arrival of workers, my home remained very clean during and after the job was complete. Since the completion, we have not seen one drop of water. Very impressed and satisfied.

Very Professional. They covered everything to keep the dust down. They even put cardboard under their truck in case it leaked anything on our driveway. As quiet as they could be considering the use of jack hammers. Covered the floors all the way outside so no dirt got on floors. Walked us through what had been done before leaving.

Very professional, fast at job and particular attention given to clean up and keeping home clean. We did notice an area where more caulking was needed. Called and a representive will take care by having workers caulk the area.
