# Basement and Deck near me

**Rating: 4.1/5** (medium confidence) — from 17 reviews across 3 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Basement and Deck near me is a Salem, Massachusetts outfit built around one person: Sergio, credited by name in nearly every review across four years. The reviews describe a wide range of work — finishing basements into full living spaces, building and repairing decks, refinishing floors, replacing and painting porches, a kitchen renovation, and custom built-ins like turning an old TV stand into a closet and adding fireplace shelving and bathroom wainscoting.

The pattern that stands out is repeat business: one customer describes Sergio's team completing a sixth project for them, spanning painting, tile work, and finish carpentry, and several others mention hiring him again after an earlier job. A 2025 review describes an unfinished basement turned into a finished living space from start to finish; a 2023 review describes an earlier basement finished from framing and drywall through paint, trim and flooring, credited to "Marvim and Sergio." Multiple reviewers specifically call out his pricing as more affordable than competing estimates, including one who first hired him for a deck repair after comparing quotes and then had him renovate much of the rest of the house.

Twenty Google ratings are on file, all five stars, dated between 2022 and early 2026. The most recent, from March 2026, describes home repairs and interior painting completed with a clear estimate and steady communication throughout.

For a larger job like a full basement or kitchen renovation, get the scope and price confirmed in writing up front — the same detailed-estimate process reviewers describe working well on smaller jobs.

**Strengths:**
- Same person named repeatedly — Sergio credited across years of reviews
- Diverse project range — decks, basements, kitchens, floors, built-ins
- Repeat customers — one reviewer cites a sixth completed project
- Affordable pricing noted — several reviewers cite below-market estimates
