Recent Reviews from Utah Homeowners

  • Austin is a great project manager. He took the time to answer our questions and keep us informed throughout the basement finishing process. We had one complication that was quickly resolved. Once lighting was installed, we noticed a long, poorly finished seam in the ceiling. Despite the basement being nearly complete, Austin and his crews had the problem resolved in three days. Fantastic service.

  • I love our newly finished basement. The process wasn’t perfect but was surprisingly smooth. It took 11 weeks to finish. I was expecting it to take longer. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

  • The basement was finished on time. I’m grateful because I needed the space. It was so much cheaper to finish the basement than to buy a new home. This make our current home so much easier to live in.
