CLIENT COMMENTS:  
"Sylvain, we just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how happy we are with our new basement renovation.  For years the basement was the part of the house we didn’t let guests see.  Now it’s the part of the house we are most proud of.  The cold, dark storage area has been replaced by a thoroughly modern, open, light, and comfortable new floor for our home.  Everyone who sees it comments on how they can’t believe it used to be “just a basement”.  It’s where we now spend most of our time.

We were surprised and pleased at how little intrusion on our daily lives the project was.  Your team was always polite, and maintained a clean work area.  I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who wants to make their basement into a “ground floor addition” they can be proud of.  Our only problem is it makes us feel like we need to remodel the rest of the house to bring it up to the same standard!"
