We bought a home with an undeveloped basement in the summer of 2017. After getting settled our major project for the year was to develop the basement as one space with zones for music (including 24+ guitars, stereo, piano, etc.), reading area, and a TV/gaming area. I tried 4 companies - two replied that not only would they not do anything for less than a $50K budget, there also had to be a bedroom and bathroom in the basement. The third company also reiterated there must be a bathroom. We already have three bathrooms in the house with one at the top of the stairs leading directly to the basement.
K2 not only said they were happy to work within our budget but as we weren't putting in a bedroom, we certainly were not required to install a bathroom.
Moe came out the next day to view the space and provide a quote. He also had some fantastic suggestions to maximize the useable space, including moving the door to the utility room by utilizing a pocket door along another wall. He provided much better ideas for lighting the area (LED recessed lights on three dimmers so we could light the whole area or individual zones, as much or as little as desired. He listened to our need for a very large closet to store the guitars, amps, etc., and created an extremely workable closet allowing room for all the guitars as well as some additional storage shelves above. He also suggested acoustical soundproofing in the ceiling. Lastly he understood the need for sufficient outlets so that when the band practices/plays all the equipment doesn't overload the electrical panel breakers.
Trever was the Project Manager for the construction and did a fantastic job. He answered any questions we had, promptly addressed any concerns ( there were only two minor ones), and immediately informed us of any change orders or delays (the electrician recommended an additional six lights and they were unable to source/match the carpet on the 2nd floor and brought us 3-4 samples of alternatives).
Moe and Trevor provided timely project updates, daily reports, and cost tracking. They were professional and knowledgeable and the project was on time and on budget. I am happy to provide referrals and have in fact recommend them to a couple of friends for future project.
