We LOVE our basement! Renova was very easy to work with from start to finish. We have a 1400 sq ft ranch home and knew we wanted to add more living space and a guest bedroom separate from our main living space.After mapping out our “wants” paired with Brad’s suggestions, we had a first draft drawn of our new space within a few days –and a few weeks later we had our final plan ready to go. Brad and the design team were very patient during this process and helped us stay within our budget as we decided between a wet bar or dry bar, half-bath or full-bath, LVP or carpet, etc. They were also patient and gave great recommendations when it came time to select our products and colors (cabinets/countertops/trim/finish hardware, etc).Mike was our project manager. Before the main project started, Renova arranged to install an egress window in our basement for our new guest bedroom. We started construction on the basement about a week later. The day before construction began, Mike came to the house to install a protective covering over our foyer floor and our basement stairs leading to the project space for all of the trades that would coming and going throughout the project. He also installed a Renova sign in our front yard to easily identify our home.By mid-June, we had all the walls framed, rough HVAC/plumbing and electrical completed. The shower panel was delayed, but Mike made sure the project stayed on track and notified us of all project delays or if we were ahead of schedule. By the end of the first week in July, the entire basement was insulated, drywalled, taped and mudded. The crew that delivered the drywall worked around my schedule and delivered and stacked it neatly in our basement so that it was ready for the installation crew the next morning.The texture/spray and painting of the doors onsite probably took the longest out of everything, but even that only took a few days. We were very impressed at how quickly everything moved along and how well everyone worked together (sometimes there were multiple trades on site at the same time working). Suppliers also made sure everything was delivered and stacked neatly in our driveway and trades did a great job of making sure to tidy up materials at the end of the day/week.FloorQuest was great to work with and gave great recommendations for a nice-looking, budget friendly, high-traffic carpet for our new living space and guest bedroom as well as recommendations on LVP for our full bath and dry bar area. By the end of July, all of the electrical fixtures were installed which made a huge difference walking into the bathroom and seeing it so well lit. By early August, all our cabinets were installed (had been delayed a week), and then shortly thereafter, our carpet was installed.Once the project was done, Mike walked every area of the project and marked up areas that didn’t meet his specifications. Mike had trades come back for touchups and our entire project was completed and ready for furniture by mid-August.Our project consisted of installing an egress window, finishing 800 sq ft including a full bath, bedroom with walk-in closet, rec/living area with closet and a dry bar.Renova was great to work! I worked from home a few days per week and on days I wasn’t home, we gave Mike full access to the house to be able to coordinate deliveries and check on the progress of the project. We highly recommend Renova!
