I contracted Basements for Less for our basement renovation. I was encouraged by all of the positive reviews and our initial interactions with Andrei as he was very responsive and professional.
Unfortunately, he sub-contracted out the work to a general project manager and a team of tradesmen who did subpar work and he provided little oversight to them. We were disappointed by this because at our initial meeting we specifically asked whether his crew of contactors worked for him directly and we were advised they were.
Our renovation went weeks over schedule and we had to request on several occasions that major things be fixed or corrected. The general project manager wanted to charge us for additional fees that were never communicated to us or to Andrei. Overall, we were not satisfied with quality of work and are going to have to make a lot of repairs and fixes to the newly finished space - many of our walls are not straight, there are seams in the drywall, we need to do a lot of paint touch-ups for areas completely missed or paint drips, our stairs were not correctly installed and look unfinished, our flooring is uneven, soft and squeaks. Although Andrei did try to address many of our concerns when raised, I would not recommend this company and recommend using a company that provides complete oversight of their crew and tradespeople.
