I was looking to get my basement finished when I found out about JohnStar Construction from few friends who had already used their services. I also visited their Facebook page to do some background check and they came out pretty good.
Subsequently I contacted Johnstar, as well as few other contractors, to get an estimate; although most contractors came quick enough to provide me with a quotation, Johnstar was the only contractor who did a thorough inspection of the space and gave me a proper quote the next day. Other contractors just had a quick look and gave me a quote then and there, which I feel was improper. Later on I came to know that one of these contractor was hired by a friend's friend to get his basement done but not only the work didn't get completed on time he had to shell out atleast 25% more than the initial quote provided to him.
With Johnstar my basement was finished within the same amount mentioned in the initial quote even though I know for a fact that wood/stud prices had gone up between the time when quote was provided and framing had started; they even threw in some interior deco at no additional cost to me. But most importantly I was really glad that the work was finished on time and as per the agreement; I was able to use the basement from fall of 2021 as promised by the company.
I waited for a year to post this review as I wanted to make sure the work quality is good and so are the materials used for the construction. After more than a year of using my basement I can gladly attest that everything is intact so far and nothing has broken down.
All in all I can see that the company has done an exceptional job with my basement! Their team is quite professional, organized and efficient! I would certainly recommend Johnstar and wish them all the very best!
