Jony and his team at CT Basement systems did an awesome job with my attic. I needed new insulation, some mold remedy and some ventilation. Jony updated me throughout the work showing me the progress they made. Clean up was spotless! Would definitely recommend CT Basement systems.

We recently completed a full basement finishing project with Connecticut Basement Systems, and the experience truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the very beginning, the professionalism, communication, and craftsmanship were outstanding. This was a significant project for our home, and the team delivered not just a finished basement - but a beautifully designed, functional living space that has completely transformed how we use our home. Special recognition to an incredible crew: Dan Medina – Project Manager: Dan was exceptional from start to finish. Organized, proactive, great sense of humor, great taste of music and always accessible (nearly 24x7!), he kept the project on track and made the entire process seamless. His attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident every step of the way. Ewin, Wilson and Jonathan – Carpenters: the craftmanship from this team was simply top-tier. Their precision, care, and pride in their work showed in every detail - from framing to finishing touches. Mike Pale – Electrician: Mike's work was meticulous. The lighting design and electrical setup elevated the entire space, and everything was executed cleanly and efficiently. Todd Nihill - Plumber: Todd handled the plumbing flawlessly. Everything worked perfectly and the quality of the installation was noticed by our guests. Overall, we are beyond pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Connecticut Basement Systems to anyone considering a basement transformation. Truly a first-class experience from an outstanding team.

Al and his team came out and waterproofed our basement yesterday. I have to say, they did an amazing job. They arrived at 10:50 and I was told they would be done in one day. I did not believe it, but they were done around 5:00. I would suggest this company over and over. My basement looks Amazing and they left it cleaner than when they found it. Al was very kind and considerate and answered all my questions, and between him and the four guys they cranked out the work. I would just remind you if you were having any kind of waterproofing done, it can be noisy, But well worth it! Choose these guys for your next waterproofing need!

Al & John both displayed the highest degree of professionalism throughout the processes of our crawlspace finishing. Both were incredibly efficient with time, resources, and planning which made a seemingly bigger project seem like a breeze. With their high level of attention to detail, they did not cut any corners and displayed expert craftsmanship. Without hesitation, we will be sure to contact them and the CT Basement Systems team for future needs and to give the recommendation out to anyone looking to have this type of service done.
