Basement Renovation - rec room, bathroom, stairs, entry way
We are so happy with the work that Yauhen and Sergei (partners at Galleon) did on our basement reno.
These two are such conscientious builders who didnt take short cuts and made recommendations that improved our living space more than we imagined...like when they discovered we could gain nearly 2 inches of basement height by removing a double subfloor previously installed (YAS!) Their labour costs were fair and at market value. So skilled, so thorough.
The stairs are a custom design with horizontal bars which they had not done before but they were willing to see my vision through and THEY'RE PERFECT - absolutely in love with these thick oak open riser modern staircase.
The craftsmanship on the finishings are TOP NOTCH. Framing, Drywall work, and painting 10/10. Electrical subcontractor was amazing he really was so approachable and flexible, awesome work on lighting and additional outlets.
I really wish there is a way to only dock them half a star and thats really in the choice of their sub-contracted tile guy. The bathroom design was really a staple in the reno and it is quite lovely now, but we did have to regrout the floor ourselves after the job because the grouting was rushed at the end unfortunately and was not great. I know they have reflected on how to improve this service as an offering in the future and theres no doubt this was likely a one-off occurence.
Would absolutely recommend, you'd be in good hands...and they are super friendly funny guys as well, we really had many great laughs together over the 6 week job. They finished on time and in budget. Added some before and after photos for your reference :)
Thank you Yauhen and Sergei for everything, we are so grateful for your work and absolutely love the new space.
