Basement Completion

Penguin Basements provided a professional and courteous service from the consultation/planning phase with Gerrard, the design selections with Amy Bray and throughout the project with Juliano Romagnuolo (our project manager who was always available for Q&As). The building team (trades) were experienced and skilled. They were hardworking and committed to our project.
Although our project is not quite completed were are pleased with the work and finishes thus far.
As new home owners some advice: always ask questions as details sometimes get missed by owners during the design and building phases. Here are some of our learned tips: budget (know your limit and always have a contingency - remember change orders cost you), spray foam insulation (which areas will be includes - there's minimum code vs what you may be expecting) vs regular insulation, stairs upgrades (will steps and landings both be finished with the same materials - don't forget hand rails) and lighting (LED vs Halogen pot lights - pros and cons, additional light fixtures).

Approximate cost of services:
$75,000.00
