WE ARE ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS - Basement Development Calgary

My husband and I cannot stress enough how happy we are with Colin from Evolve Basements Inc. for exceeding our expectations with the development of our basement. Not only did he stay on budget, he demonstrated high quality of tradesmanship, offered the highest level of customer service and was able to deliver to his anticipated timelines. He went as far as removing a window from the basement to help my husband bring in our couches down from the bonus room at no extra cost. We have already recommended him to co-workers and some of our closest friends. We would not hesitate to hire him again for any other type of home renovation projects.

We hired Evolve Basements in February 2015 to develop 600 sqft of liveable space in our basement from A-Z. Colin’s approach and professionalism gave us a warm feeling that this was the right team to perform the work in our home. A detailed sketch and estimate were provided to us beforehand. Colin brings lots of ideas to the table and his attention to details met our expectations. His judgement, experience and assessment allowed for the project to be on time and on budget. This is a one stop shop, they have a pre-set inventory list of suggestions for customized products but if you decide to go with specific or preferred items, make a list and they will pick it up. Upon performing progress reviews, if suggestions and ideas are provided, the changes will take effect shortly after. If change orders are required to accommodate the change in scope, that will be communicated to you.

Colin at Evolve Basements is the guy that you always HOPE shows up to quote on and deliver on a project. His details on what work was going to be done were a breath of fresh air compared to the one page quotes with almost zero details that the other bidders left me. He projected time lines that were spot in (including getting permits through the city faster than anyone else quoted). He took into account our suggestions and leveraged his expertise to tweak them to make them perfect. The quality of the workmanship is really where he shined though…Colin is a true craftsman who takes pride in doing a great job, at a very fair price. Nothing about his work looks amateur…he came in on budget (and was actually a little under budget). Can’t say enough positive about this guy and his organization.

We recently had Evolve Basements develop our undeveloped basement and we couldn’t be happier we choose them. Colin from Evolve was awesome from start to finish. He provided us a 3D design of our basement along with the estimate so we could see what it was going to look like (other companies said they would do this but it turns out that was only if we choose them). His estimate was very competitive with the other ones we received as he does almost all the work himself. Since he does the work himself we only dealt with him which was great and made the whole process less stressful. Colin had a bunch of great ideas for our basement including a 2 story castle playhouse for our kids under the stairs which turned out amazing and also for the stone behind the TV. He also helped us with all of our selections (tile, paint, carpet etc) which was a big help. He also shopped around quite a bit to get us the best deal possible on all of our selections to save us some money (which we were very appreciative of). Overall the basement turned out better than we could have imagined and was on budget and done on time. Colin’s communication with us was great and he kept us in the loop on everything that was going on throughout the whole process. He also put up with our 2 little kids wanting to come down and see the basement and talk to him everyday (our kids were actually sad when we told them Colin was done and wouldn’t be coming back again as he was great with them!). We have already recommended Colin to one of our friends and would definitely recommend Evolve to anyone else looking to get their basement developed or renovated. We can’t wait to start using the basement
