The Finished Basement, run by Rob out of Plympton, does exactly what the name says — turning unfinished basements on the South Shore and Cape Cod into bathrooms, laundry rooms, family rooms, and the occasional structural project bigger than a typical basement job. Its website describes the company as veteran-owned and says it's been turning basements into living space since 1999. Every review on record — eight, from 2023 to now — is five stars, and several describe genuinely complex work rather than a simple drywall-and-carpet job. One 2025 review describes Rob taking down a wall for a second-floor redesign that needed an engineer's sign-off and talked skeptics into believing it could work, delivered on time with a clean crew. Another, from a 600-square-foot Mashpee basement, describes choosing Rob over competing bids specifically for the detail in his estimate and consistent communication, and says he handled the few issues that came up promptly. Multiple reviewers mention finding Rob through a neighbor who'd already used him — enough of a pattern that one out-of-town buyer says several houses in their new neighborhood had all used him before they did. There's nothing negative in the record to flag. One thing worth a quick gut-check before hiring: the company's own site says it was established in 1999 with 25-plus years of experience, but its Better Business Bureau profile lists only 19 years in business — the two don't line up. For a basement project that's more than a cosmetic refresh — one involving structural changes, an egress window, or a full bath — this is a contractor customers keep referring to their own neighbors.
It’s hard to find contractors you can rely on, but Rob is one of them. He was very responsive from the first call to the final walkthrough. His work is top-notch, his turnaround time is quick, and his rates are budget-friendly. I’m extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!
Rob and his crew did a phenomenal job on our basement and also on our second floor redesign, which required taking down a wall. It was a tricky job that required an engineer and some naysayers, but Rob made it happen. On time, great work and a nice crew. We're extremely grateful. Thank you, you guys!!
Rob and the finished basement team did a fantastic job remodeling our basement. They installed the new bathroom, laundry room and a little sports area with the pool table. We added a couple of egress windows. Very happy and will highly recommend the finish basement.
This project went exactly as planned. Rob was excellent to work with. His subs were professional, timely, and neat. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a finished space. Thank you, Rob!
I decided to add a bathroom and finish part of my basement so my grown children and teenage grandchildren would have their own space and visit more often. Best investment I ever made! Several of my neighbors had work done by The Finished Basement and were highly satisfied. I called to set up an appointment with Rob and within 3 days I was telling him my vision of how I would like my basement to look. I made several changes along the way and all I can honestly state is this man has patience of a Saint! Rob made sure I was completely satisfied every step of the way and if not it was done over again. At some point during the project I told Rob not to listen to me and placed my total trust in him. I truly appreciate his commitment, his subcontractors and his demand for excellent workmanship. The completed projects exceeded all of my expectations. Rob is a man of high integrity and every subcontractor he sent here was trustworthy. I highly recommend The Finished Basement for any project you may have if you are looking for excellent service and workmanship.
