"The process went very smooth. The guys were here on time and very professional and friendly."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Basic Companies to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial layout and permits to framing, electrical work, sheetrock, spackling, painting, and flooring, they handled every aspect of the project with utmost professionalism and expertise. Each team that came to our house was knowledgeable, hardworking, and incredibly professional. They were always responsive to our questions and ensured that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised time frame, and to our delight, it was actually finished much earlier than expected. Our family is thrilled with the final result. The finished basement has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to Basic Companies for their exceptional work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to handle their home improvement projects."

"Got the kitchen of my dreams with unbeatable reliability and dedication from everyone on the B&B team! From the very first estimate, all pricing and process was transparent and thorough. You can tell B&B are the experts. They had so many projects to look through for inspiration, functionality, and design—it was easy to trust them with such an important part of my home: the kitchen. Organized, trustworthy, and friendly, I can't say enough good things about the owners and the guys who were working in my home. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Can't wait to remodel my bathrooms with them next."

"Afrim from Shkodra was excellent and professional from beginning to end. I can't wait to hire him again."

"They were a pleasure to deal with. They were prompt and neat. The porch repair was done carefully and it looked great when they were finished. We were delighted with the results."

"After moving into a new house, we decided we wanted to replace the outdated patio space outback. We reached out to Naulty and they were able to provide us with a 3-D design, so we could fully understand exactly what we were getting prior to the installation. Our patio came out even more beautiful in person than we imagined. I recommend them to anyone looking for a new patio."

"I am amazed at the calibre of work Cambridge Landscapes did on my back yard. This included a retaining/sitting wall, a fire pit area and a long walkway and patio around the side of our house. Using only the finest materials, and professional, experienced installers, I watched as my sad back yard became an oasis! Many thanks to Scott, Katie and Miguel for their insights and for shepherding this project from the beginning to its completion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"LM construction did an amazing job on my project, in a quick timeframe. We were very satisfied with their quality and professionalism."

"This review is delayed due to long term family illness and subsequent death in family. However, dRemodeling did such a good job with the project, I felt compelled to post this review, even if it is late. Using Angie’s List, we consulted three contractors for estimates. We had considered using dRemodeling for our major kitchen remodel several years earlier but decided to go with another company. Based on the excellent reviews on Angie’s List, we scheduled a meeting with Dan Dragonir, the owner of dRemodeling and one of his designers, Ashley. We discussed design ideas, materials, cost, work schedule and expected completion time. Shortly thereafter, Dan provided us with a document which included a lot of information about major costs associated with typical bathroom remodel. We asked him to proceed with providing us with a design proposal. We liked the idea of Dan having a showroom where we could go to look at materials and speak to the designer. After we saw the designs, the estimated cost and completion time, we decided to hire dRemodeling. Our bathroom remodel was a major undertaking. It involved gutting 3 bathrooms down to the studs, in a house that is nearly 130 years old. Although we stayed within the existing footprint of the bathrooms (no enlargement), due to the age of the house, the project was complex, with surprises lurking around every corner. Nothing is level or square in a house this old. Structural issues needed to be addressed before the rebuild could begin. This prolonged the project. The demolition began February 20th, 2017 things moved along fairly smoothly. Dan and the designers (Ashley and Stephanie) were very responsive to suggestions and questions; they were available by phone, text or e-mail. As work progressed, we decided on a number of upgrades and Dan always informed of the additional costs in advance so we could decide how we wanted to proceed. As I mentioned, there were challenges throughout the job. Design changes had to be made in the main bathroom because the original design was not feasible, according to the engineer. This was somewhat disappointing but we worked around it. The technicians were superb. They were highly skilled, knowledgeable, hardworking and conscientious about minimizing dust and dirt and cleaning up at the end of the day. Any unavoidable collateral damage (ex., cracks in plaster to adjoining rooms, suspended ceiling tiles in room below bathroom damaged) was addressed immediately. The project was finalized in mid-June. A month or so later, we found what we thought was a potential plumbing problem and called Dan. He sent someone out immediately to investigate and we determined it was NOT related to the project. It was resolved to our satisfaction. Here are the pros and areas needing improvement: Pros - Price: Cost of job was reasonable compared to other estimates. Dan and his designers will work with you to stay within your budget -Quality: The technicians are knowledgeable, highly skilled and meticulous. They took great care to protect other areas of our home and cleaned up every day. Some collateral damage occurred during demolition and everything was repaired to our satisfaction. -Showroom: It was advantageous to have in-house designers and a showroom to look at materials. This was one of the reasons we selected this company. Dan and the designers (Ashley & Stephanie) were very responsive to changes we wanted to make as the project progressed -All employees are very professional, courteous and hard working Areas for Improvement -Scheduling: Dan (the owner) estimated each bathroom would take 15 days, for a total of 45 days to complete the project. We felt that was a bit optimistic. As previously mentioned, the age of the house created challenges that required more time, which we understood. Initially, the job moved along smoothly but after a while, there were days the technicians could have worked and they did not. We were not informed they weren't coming and didn't know the reason. We had to contact the office to find out what was going on. My husband and I are retired so we have a very flexible schedule. I travel out of state two weeks each month so we were able to work around their scheduling issues. However the project took nearly 5 months from start to finish. This could be a problem for people whose schedules aren't as flexible as ours. -Communication: There was no Project Manager on site on a regular basis. When issues came up on the job, we talked to the technician but they weren't empowered to resolve the issue without talking to someone or they asked that we call the office. This resulted in some miscommunication between the designer, the technicians, Dan and us. However, I must say, when I sent an e-mail to the designer or Dan, we generally received a prompt response. I realize Dan has a small operation and having a PM would be an additional expense. However, for a job this big, it would have made things work more smoothly. -Material Shipment: Make certain someone opens the boxes as the materials arrive, to check for damage. We were discouraged from opening boxes for safety reasons so we assumed the technicians were inspecting the material. All 3 toilets, an expensive linen closet and vanity top were broken. This was the freight company's fault, not dRemodeling however, the damage was not discovered until the boxes were opened for the materials to be installed. In one case it was beyond 30 days and the manufacturer did not want to replace it. This caused additional delays in completing the project. Despite the few areas needing improvement, overall, I would highly recommend using dRemodeling . We love the end result! Our bathrooms are beautiful and their price was competitive with other estimates we had gotten. All employees were a pleasure to work with!"
