Finishing the Basement

We decided to finish the basement and after doing some research, especially regarding the mold-free materials, we decided to sign the contract with Penguin Basement. The quote was a little higher than the other contractors, however I think the quality of the materials are better as well.
We had few issues during the process, but the Project Manager assigned (Andrew) was there to manage and get everything under control, he was great!!!
Andrew was at my place every day, explaining the steps of the project and what was expected to be done in the following days. Also, he was always available on the cell if I had a question or concern, what was very important for me.
We are very happy with our new basement and I would like to thank Andrew and everyone at Penguin...

Basement

Finish my basement with a large gas fireplace. I love the new gas fireplace, it has stone from the top to bottom.
The workers and contractors were nice and did a great job. They created a workshop, two storage rooms, a bedroom and cozy den within my basement.
I love my new basement !

Basement renovation

We are very happy about the quality of the job that was done on our Basement it was very excellent. We especially feel a big difference when qualified renovators perform the work. Penguin basement's crew had done great job and finishing off the basement. Thanks to a dedicated project manager, who listen to us and provide best advise and deliverer great final product. The communication between Project manager and us was very great. We could not have asked for more from a Renovation Company. Form our consultant to working crew, they ware very knowledgeable. They knew exactly what we want and met of all of our requirements. The installers were professional and efficient. And finally the basement has been a tremendous addition to our home as all of us will enjoy for long period of time, thanks again for a having a great Project manager and all Penguin Basements crew job well done!

Penguin came in and did a good job of lying out and designing the work. Minimal delays and good quality workmanship. Project Manager Andrew was a pleasure to deal with, very attentive to our requirements and thorough. Make sure you ask for Andrew when you decide to go with Penguin!

Basement Renovation

We were very impressed with Penguin Basements from the outset and they did not disappoint. One of the most important aspects of getting something like this done is communication. Andrew, our project manager, was in communication with us on a daily basis. It felt very much like a partnership and his commitment to customer service was excellent. I had second thoughts about the floor I chose but Amy, the designer, was right. It looks great. All of the trades people who came through our door were courteous, professional and did a great job. Thank you to everyone at Penguin. We absolutely love our basement.

Basement finishing

My experience was fantastic with this company. Professional from top to bottom. My project manager Andrew made th difference. He was organized, friendly, and very knowledgeable with the recommendations made on site. We had a few challenges and Andrew stepped up and made it totally work even better. My wife and son now have a whole new enjoyable space in the home and is was worth every penny.

Thank you penguin basements for living up to all your expectations.

Basement Review

The support Penguin Basements provided us throughout the project was fantastic. Walter was at my house every day, answer ours questions, waiting for the inspector and managing the trades. Penguin originally planned to build the basement in 6 weeks and it was finished on time. We really enjoyed the selections process, we met with Amy and she helped us match colours, doors, trim, cabinets. They work very well as a team and I really appreciated their dedication and hard work. Overall, I strongly and highly recommend this Penguin to anyone.
