Fantastic- we are incredibly extremely pleased with how the basement turned out. Ariel was great- always a pleasure to deal with and completely trust worthy. While working, Ariel found many things wrong with the basement (custom built house using what we thought was a very reputable contractor/builder) and corrected all of them without any additional charge to avoid any future problems with his work. Despite the time involved, we were always confident we would enjoy the final product as Ariel is both a consummate professional and really driven to please. Overall the process took a bit (most of the work was completed in about 4 months) but that is likely as attributable to us as it was to Ariel - we had difficulty choosing the kitchen, wanted stone on the walls that matched stone on our front gate and siding etc. It was a very big project - approximately 2400 square feet - Ariel was an integral part of planning - which constantly had to evolve - the flooring for the gym, the constant changes to the pool kitchen, all required changes on the fly. Ariel was very adaptable. Things did go wrong (as will always happen on large projects) but they were all addressed immediately. And none of them were big - our control panel for our irrigation system was enclosed without being able to properly see all of the zones (we have a ton of zones), plugs in the wall behind the aquarium (he made a built in aquarium) needed to be moved in case water ever leaked from it, some communication problems (thought he urgently needed a sink and vanity which sat around for months). Ariel always addressed any concern we had and never brought up price (unless it required more material or others to help). I'm going to try and post some pics though it looks like Ariel already did.
To give you a sense of how happy I am with the work, I'm giving Ariel a 10% tip when everything is completed. Oh - I should mention that I received fives quotes - while his wasn't the cheapest, it was by far the most thorough (likely spent over two hours measuring and bringing in subs for measurements and estimates) and far from the most expensive. Thanks Ariel!
