"In 2013, Champion Home Remodeling did our kitchen The job was done so well. and we were so satisfied, we decided to use Danny and his crew again. The great thing about Danny is that he listens to what you have to say, and makes suggestions based on your ideas. We wanted a completely new room. That necessitated the complete demolition of the old one. Our house is 93 years old and it would be interesting to find out what was inside the walls. More on that later. We wanted new windows with blinds inside. We wanted two cabinets on either side of the windows on one side of the room. We wanted a split system air conditioning unit. We wanted ethernet available on every wall. We wanted a big television hung on the wall, accompanied by a home theater system. Yes indeed, big changes! Danny made some suggestions. A heat pump instead of a straight air comditioner. Removal of the old giant radiator which provided the only heat in favor of a short piece of baseboard to augment the heat pump. Let the demolition begin! It turns out, that our old house had had a roof leak sometime before we bought it in 1987. That old leak had created wet rot inside the wall, and had crumpled the beams inside the wall. It also affected the exterior wall and the siding on it. So now, besides what we wanted, what we needed would also have to be done. The serious work had begun! Suffice it to say, the work that was done far exceeded our expectations! Every aspect of the job turned out wonderfully. The walls, the floor, the outside of the house; everything was perfect. If you had never seen the room before, you could not appreciate the full extent of the upgrade. Every day the site was cleaned, all debris removed and the room made ready for the next day's labor. Every request we made was fulfilled; and we are now enjoying the fruits of their labor. We cannot recommend Champion highly enough. Master craftsmen, all!"

"Excellent. On time finished the job with high detail. Crew was very thorough and on time. Miguel is a expert contractor and I enjoy working with him"

"The visit to my home in West Hartford was a nice affair. The technician explained everything. He even mentioned that I had to get a plumber to remove the sink away from the wall, so the work could be done to repair the window and wall area, but I did not hear him mention that I had to pull permits. The problem with this permit pulling issue is that I never initiated the pulling of permits, and this also is a red flag for me. The pulling of a permit should always be done by the contractor who is doing the job. It ensures that the permit pulled is to code. It ensures that the permit pulled follows local ordinance and CT. laws and statutes regarding construction, and that also includes consumer protection mandates in the State of Connecticut. Having me pull the permit to allow the CT. Basement Systems to do the work is a big, red flag, and it can result in my home owner's policy being cancelled if the permits are pulled either after the fact, or the permits pulled do not line up with the inspection process. I can also be fined by the town for pulling permits after the fact too. I've had my furnace replaced. The plumbing company who replaced the furnace followed state law and guidelines. Especially, since funding provided through a loan from a Credit Union chosen by the State of Connecticut ensured that permits were pulled correctly, legally. The same applies to my roof being replaced. The roofing company pulled the permit. Having a customer whom you are charging in excess of $20,000 to pull a permit is putting that customer in legal jeopardy, which is unacceptable. If I sell my house, and I had the work done in my basement, and the permits were pulled by me. The person who bought my house could sue me for an incorrectly pulled permit. How would I answer questions from the town about the technical aspects of the job, which should be handled by the contractor directly? Why introduce another layer of bureaucracy that slows down communication? Have the contractor pull the permit, so that the contractor and the municipality, town or city can communicate directly, and the pulling of the permit is done correctly and legally. How would I know, when the town should be doing an inspection during or while the job is being completed or after the job is completed? This should never be a requirement of the customer to pull the permit for a job to be done. The tech who visited my home mentioned that I had to hire a plumber to move a basement sink, but they did not mention about pulling of permits, but I went and re-read the quote again, and it is at the bottom of the quote page under "Customer Will" that states not only hiring of the plumber but also pulling permits and scheduling inspections. I did not have this job financed by CT. Basement Systems. I, instead, decided to get a home equity loan. If I did not get the home equity loan, then decided to go with CT. Basement Systems financing, then I would be screwed. The best thing I did was slow the process down, seek my own financing, and ask larger, bigger, deeper questions that prevented me from making a mistake by allowing this work to be done."
