We just had our basement finished and added in a bathroom. Dan and his team were excellent from start to finish on this project. With any major Reno there are surprises along the way but Dan and his team were communicative and thought through each proactively and efficiently. The coordination among subs and the commitment to hitting deadlines was A1. Kishan, Vidal, Manny and Bob were all respectful, clean and a pleasure to work with; particularly important as they had to access the home through the front door. Highly recommend!

My husband and I are so impressed with the professionalism of the entire company. The job was done right in a timely manner. There were no issues, I did not have to make a call to the company for any reason during the project, everything was done in a precise manner. Kevon and Chris are a special team. They put their knowledge, love and energy into getting the job done perfectly in a timely manner, attention to details, without incident. It was like watching a performance, each step was done precisely then going to the next task. No- mistakes-No-errors No fudging, just excellence. Our basement looks amazing! We highly recommend CBS.

Dan installed our waterproofing SaniDry system. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Even better- he left the space cleaner than he found it!

Connecticut Basement System company was excellent from start to finish of the process. First the initial appointment, the consultant Gus was through in informing me exactly what my basement needed. To the day of my dehumidifier system installed in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mario, the installer was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. The system works perfectly and has already improved our home’s comfort. Highly recommend.
