BASNETT DESIGN-BUILD-REMODEL

Basnett Design-Build-Remodel turned an unused attic space into a nice finished bedroom with heating, air-condition, and recess lighting. They also upgraded thermal envelope in the surrounding area by providing foam insulation. As part of this work a new window was installed and the exterior painted. All the work was done with high quality, within the budget, and with friendly manner. Any questions were promptly answered, any requests for change of scope (there were very few and they were minor) were resolved in most reasonable way.

We hired Bassnett to build a master suite over our garage. They were efficient, professional, and clean. They showed up everyday day for 3 months until the job was done. They came in on time and on budget. They communicated with us every few days about the progress of the project. We are extremely happy with the work they did.

The entire team at Basnett Design Build was wonderful to work with. From preliminary design, to defining the project scope, implementation and follow up they did an outstanding job. I am very pleased with the outcome of my kitchen remodel in my Cape house. I recommend Basnett Design Build to anyone that is serious about implementing a renovation or build with attention to detail and enduring quality and craftsmanship.

Jim Basnett of Basnett Design-Build-Remodel, is a builder that we discovered from seeing his sign and trucks in our neighborhood here in Lexington. He did extensive remodeling and addition work on a house on our street. Based upon the work we saw him doing with our neighbor, as well as all of the outstanding reviews on Angie's List, we asked Jim to help us with our own plans. From our first call, Jim was always extremely responsive and receptive, happy to talk to us and guide us. He sent us a list of references - a very long list, I might add, of clients that he worked with in the past - a huge percentage of which are actually continuing clients, meaning clients that are so happy with his work, when they want to do a new project, they call Jim back again. We are going to be leaving Lexington and moving to a nearby town, where we will be tearing down a rundown wreck of a house and building a handicapped accessible ranch in it's place. We had many conversations with Jim about the process. We had not yet bought a property when we first began talking, so he walked us through the steps, ideas, speaking specifically about land drainage, insulation, energy, costs, and countless other details, so that we had an idea of what to look for in a property, and how to proceed with the teardown and new construction. He looked at a few properties for us online, giving his input, and offering to come out to see and assess potential properties for us. Very importantly, he recommended a few realtors to act as buyers agents for us, and we did very happily engage one of them. Ultimately, we ended up not using Jim, but only because we found a different excellent builder (I never knew even one existed, let alone TWO!) who's schedule happened to be open and could begin our project immediately. Timing for us is fairly tight, details not important, so that was a key deciding factor for us. We can't thank him enough for his dedication to us, his invaluable advice, his bestowing to us of an excellent on-point realtor who cares about customer service more than her commission and his big picture view of how being moral, open and honest, is always the best policy.
