We reviewed our basement renovation project with several contractors (and their references) found on the Homestars website. After careful review of costs and availability, we decided to hire Green Maple because of their alignment with our vision. As we had an older home, it required demolition of existing finishings that uncovered problems along the way. Green Maple was flexible enough to allow us to work with other contractors (also found on this website) for specialty areas such as: storm water drain cleaning/backwater valve installation, foundation repair, kitchen cabinetry, and structural beam work. Green Maple expertly integrated their activities allowing us as the homeowner to coordinate schedules.
Ariel, with a mechanical engineering background, was very collaborative throughout the reno. He was responsive and helped us verify our tweaks and communicated changes to the crew. Alberto was meticulous with the finishes in our bathroom and kitchen. Andre worked tirelessly to keep us on schedule (including working weekends – thank you). Laureano was a master electrician and made excellent lighting suggestions (number and locations). Extras (additional pot lights, new windows, custom shelving) were all reasonably priced. As there was a lot of work involved, at almost 1200 sq ft, there were some issues found. But, Ariel was willing to listen and help resolve them within the timeframe/scope (which was thoroughly documented as a contract). Ariel was wise to allow the homeowners to purchase their own final finishes (with no limitations) such as: paint/stain, flooring, and tiles. We are now enjoying our beautiful basement. Thank you Green Maple!
