"We had an amazing experience working with the Basic Basement Company! They finished our small basement and did a wonderful job. The project coordinator kept the work on track and communicated often. Each crew was punctual, professional, and treated our home with respect. We received compliments from every inspector on the quality of the work throughout the project. Don’t hesitate to call The Basic Basement Company for your next project!"

"Unlike other reviews, our experience with Jeff Bowen @ Bowen Contracting left us very frustrated and disappointed due to 4 months of never showing up to build a deck, lots of broken promises, lack of truthfulness and finally when we lost trust in Jeff and felt he longer had integrity as a contractor. Jeff is a contractor who over-promises and under delivers- and I would stay away from him unless he could commit to a schedule and finish date that included penalty clauses for unintended delays. For us we signed a contract with Jeff on 11/4 to build a simple 14x20 deck, paid Jeff his $500 scheduling fee and even provided our credit card number so he could purchase materials and expedite the delivery process. Over the course of 4 months, we were informed by Jeff that materials were ordered, then would be ordered, then again they were ordered (even though my credit card was never charged). We stressed the urgency to him to order materials due to possible covid lead times or the possibility of items being discontinued, to no avails. We asked Jeff to pour footings before the temps dropped and he kept promising to come out "tomorrow" or "next week", but he was always a no-show with no follow-up about why he/his team never arrived on site. After 4 months of delays, the final straw was Jeff sent us a text saying- I have "good news, bad news". The bad news was even though Jeff informed us materials were ordered, he never ordered anything.... not deck boards, rails, lattice... anything. We were told, if you want work started, we would have to pay we pay an add'l $2,400 over the signed contract (or really $2,900 over the all cash alternative) due to material prices increasing. We asked for material quotes from before and after and got silence. Since the delays in ordering materials were not ours, we informed Jeff that we would be enforcing the contract rate and his response was he could not do the work for us at that price. If a contractor has you sign his legal contract, and doesn't honor his side- he's lost all his integrity. I'm sure if we called him up and said- hey Jeff, we have good new bad news- and the bad news is we're going to pay you $14,000 instead of $16,000- that wouldn't fly with him and he would enforce the contract on us. Due to zero work being performed at our home in nearly 4 months, we had to contact Angie's List to initiate the contractor complaint process, as well as, terminate our contract and provide legal notice to Jeff/Bowen Contracting that he was in Breach of Contract. Today, we finally received back our demand for full refund ($500 scheduling fee) for a job that was never scheduled. Jeff may be a nice guy, but buyer beware. Jeff is not a man of his word and gives you the run-around and that is going to be his downfall in business."

"They were awesome, very quick to answer any questions or concerns. Our yard looks amazing thanks to them. Would definitely hire again!!"

"From start to end the kitchen renovation process went extremely well. Don made sure to include me through it all and made sure I was pleased with each step. Whenever a decision is needed, Don explains the options and impact of each. He and his employee, also named Don, are prompt every day and attentive to details. They do the work right with high quality workmanship. I am extremely grateful to have had this experience that has resulted in beautiful kitchen. Without hesitation, I plan to contact Don Volkert for any future projects I need done."

"Very happy with the work done by Wesley! Just had a full bathroom remodel completed in an old Philly rowhome. We had an initial plan but then discovered additional damage after the old tiling was taken out. Wesley came back with a very budget-conscious proposal and was able to finish the job in a timely manner, with plenty of attention to detail to make sure we were left with an excellent finished product. Definitely would recommend!"

"It was amazing 🤩 I made a call to MAS and Harold and Lauren were at my home the next day. Harold, Pete and Gabrielle were extremely hard working and so courteous and such a joy to work with!! I actually was so pleased with the deck that I asked for a quote on vinyl fencing. I would strongly recommend this company for any work needed. It means so much when the actual owner of the company comes and does the work alongside his employees. I did happen to see one horrible review from someone who was 100% 😑. It was actually the only bad review so clearly it was not the fault of MAS but rather the idiot that posted such an incredibly inaccurate and incorrect review. I will definitely recommend this company to my family and friends and take it from me, I can really be a PITA when things are getting done at my home but not once was I ever meant to feel like I was being a PITA. The customer service skills of Harold and Lauren and their team is remarkable!!!"

"Wonderful, Eric Nesbit, was excellent; so very knowledgeable, though and professional and courteous."
