We worked with John Frederick from CT Basements for our project and he was amazing. This was prob a 2-year+ project due to various items (of permits, reviews, etc). John was extremely professional, helpful, courteous, and we really felt like he was working with our best interests in mind. He made the difference from start to finish, and at every stage in between!

CT Basement Systems recently completed refinishing our basement and waterproofing the surrounding crawl space. The work was done extremely well, on time. All questions or concerns were answered promptly, and the crew couldn't have been more responsible. Shout out to electrician Manny, carpenter Luis and project manager Bruce for making everything go smoothly and making things look great!

The crew did a terrific job with my installation! They were on time, super neat. They did exactly what they said, and everything turned out great! Then they cleaned up really nicely and left the house better than when they got there. Highly recommend!

The best home improvement contractor in the area. If you need basement water proofing, have a nasty crawlspace you want fixed, have high utility bills, or rooms that are uncomfortable, Connecticut Basements Systems should be your first choice. They will diagnose the cause of your problems, tell you exactly how they'll fix it, and exactly what it will cost. Great financing options so monthly payments are affordable.

Vin came to my home to survey the basement and crawlspace. The appointment process was smooth, Vin was on time, communicating clearly when he would arrive. His explanation of the job and solution was helpful. He and the company are very professional

Eric, the technician, was 100% professional, respectful, and competent. He did an amazing job servicing our large dehumidifier unit that we hadn't had serviced since 2017. He explained what he was doing, showed me parts of the dehumidifier, what they do, safety information, and was clean. He offered to wear booties to keep our floors clean. An added incredible bonus was how awesome he was with our dogs! One of our dogs is fear reactive. He listened and followed my directions on how we do introductions with her instead of having me put her in the den which would have made her reactivity increase. I hope the company sees this review and gives him a bonus! When we get it serviced next year I am going to request him. Thank you!!!
