When we initially called Elkstone, I was sure they would be the most expensive. We had them come out for a free quote as well as company that is owned by someone in our neighborhood. Steve was our salesman. He asked what we were envisioning and what ideas we had. He gave us an idea that we hadn’t even thought of. It was brilliant and utilized the space beautifully.
After a couple weeks, we received the quote from the other company via email. They didn’t break out the cost for each item nor explain what they were even going to be installing (carpet/tile/etc). They were WAY over our budget. This made me extremely nervous.
Steve came back out and went over all the costs, showed us a 3D model, explained the VCCs, and explained exactly what was going to happen. I couldn’t believe how nice everything was going to be. This made me even more nervous for the price. He showed us how much it would all cost. It WAS in our budget, even with the VCCs! I was so excited! He said to think it over and let him know when we made a final decision. As soon as he walked out our door, my husband and I said we were going with them.
Construction started very soon after. Our PM was Brandon and he was very helpful. Any questions or issues we had, he handled it. Construction was slated to take 5 weeks (with a 1 week break over Christmas), so 6 weeks total. There were a few things that came up along the way, but Elkstone took care of it and made sure we were happy.
Our basement has been completed for over a month now and we absolutely love it. We only have around 590 finished square feet but our friends think it’s larger than that because the space has been utilized so efficiently. We will always recommend Elkstone to anyone that is looking to finish their basement.
Thanks again!
