### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Sumit Chhadia, July 2025**

> We had a fantastic experience with Matrix for our basement project after we got a referral from one of our neighbors. The final product was amazing and everything we could have wished for. From start to finish, they were thorough, organized, and efficient and kept us in the loop every step of way. We always knew what to expect which helped us plan along the way. Ben Gibbons was our project manager and he was very professional and accommodating. He made sure any issue or question we had was addressed in a timely manner and we were always made to feel like the goal was to make us happy at end of day. He also kept everything on track and we finished the project on time. Oscar/Romero were a great carpentry team. I highly recommend Matrix for anyone’s future basement project!

**Comment from Matrix Basement Finishing:**

> Thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad Ben, Oscar, and Romero helped bring your vision to life. It means a lot that you felt informed and cared for throughout the process. Enjoy your new basement!

> Matrix did a fantastic job of remodeling the unfinished basement in our new home. All the contractors were professional and delivered a high standard of work. Special shout out to the carpenter Oscar who was amazing and to Ben the project manager who kept in communication with us all along the way. The basement has turned out to be everything that we had hoped it would be, and we are delighted with the results.

**★★★★★ — Laura, March 2026**

> Matrix Basement Systems Did a fantastic job on finishing our new construction walkout basement.  Our construction project manager, Ben Gibbons, was very responsive and provided updates throughout, including scheduling and overseeing code inspections and sharing photos.
>
> All the construction personnel were truly excellent in their fields, and many of them sought permission to work on the weekends and then actually did work sometimes on Saturdays or Sundays.
>
> As with any project ever undertaken in the history of earth, there were some glitches, but they were addressed in a timely manner, and did not derail the project or the timeline.
>
> The scope of the project included putting in a full bathroom and kitchen with a wet bar and peninsula, and these areas turned out perfectly (along with everything else).  We can’t wait to entertain in our new space.
>
> We also love the open, black painted ceiling, so we always have access to that area, and it looks really cool!
>
> We would definitely recommend using Matrix to manage and perform basement finishing from start to finish.

**Comment from Matrix Basement Finishing:**

**★★★★★ — Harold Park, March 2026**

> We had Matrix finish the basement at our previous home about 10 years ago and they did an excellent job. When we moved into a new home with an unfinished basement we decided to give Matrix a call and once again the work they did was amazing.
>
> The project plan was detailed and updated immediately using the BuilderTrend app. The schedule was followed very closely which put our mind at ease because we did not have to wonder which contractor was working on a particular day. Each contractor was polite, answered all the questions we had and did their best not to disrupt us when we were home. Tying everything together was Ben Gibbons, our excellent project manager. He made regular progress checks to our home during the project and handled issues quickly and to our satisfaction. The basement turned out great and we could not be happier with the end result.
>
> If we move into a third home that needs a finished basement, Matrix will be our first call!

**Comment from Matrix Basement Finishing:**

> Thank you for trusting Matrix Basements again after all these years. It means a lot that you chose us for your new home as well. We're glad the Buildertrend updates, scheduling, and Ben’s project management helped make the process smooth. Enjoy your new space!!

**★★★★★ — HU-491680050, June 2025**

> After spending a good amount with a different contractor to remodel our main floor, we had to settle with the fact that a basement remodel was likely not in our short term plans.  However, after taking a meeting with Matrix, we were pleasantly surprised that a substantial remodel was not out of the question after all.  We were honestly so focused on the fact that something could get done that we didn’t nit pick on the finishes and some of the details, but wow were we impressed by the quality and workmanship of the end product.  The project managers (we had Ben) do everything that’s needed to keep on schedule, but rest assured this does not mean that any shortcuts of any kind are taken.  The sub-contractors used are simply amazing, and seem motivated to do whatever is needed to keep Matrix and the customers happy.  Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out!

**Comment from Matrix Basement Finishing:**

> This means a lot — thank you! We’re so glad you gave us the chance and that Ben and the team delivered. Enjoy your beautiful new space!

**★★★★★ — HU-393971759, May 2025**

Ben, our project manager, was fantastic at keeping everything running seamlessly. He was always communicative and made sure we were in the loop every step of the way.

> We had a large fully unfinished basement and Matrix transformed it into a beautiful fully finished basement and bath with a fireplace in just 7 weeks. Ben, our project manager, was the best part of it all. He was present, knowledgeable, and quick to address any little bumps that popped up along the way. Matrix also uses an app which allows you to see photos, calendar of contractors/projects each day, manage financing, etc. We would recommend any project Ben is overseeing to anyone in need of a remodel!

Great experience and our basement looks amazing. Special shout out to Steve, Pete, Jacob, Jackie and Ben on the matrix team!

**★★★★★ — HU-812180239, March 2024**

> Overall, the experience with Matrix was great. Special shout out to Oscar and his partner as they did fantastic carpentry work, Bobby and his partner were great with electrical & Jorge and his team were phenomenal with all the drywall. A few hiccups along the way as a potential code issue wasn’t identified nearly as early as it should have been, however, Jackie and Ben were able to put our mind at ease if anything arose from inspections. Ben and Jackie were great with communication throughout the process, never going more than 24 hours without a response. A carpet installation up charge was disappointing as it wasn’t known about ahead of time and didn’t appreciate the carpet installation owner insulting me after having just met me 10 minutes prior, but I can’t fault Matrix for that. It’s worth noting though that the carpet installation crew themselves were great - would certainly recommend Matrix to others but with any company improvements in certain areas are needed.

**★★★★★ — Jeff K, March 2024**

> Our home was purchased as new construction and completing the unfinished basement seemed overwhelming.  After a neighbor had a great experience with Matrix, we explored working with them, took the plunge and are grateful that we did.  Matrix provided us with a “One-Stop-Shop” for a very complicated project.  Their in-house design team started with our ideas and then came back with recommendations that improved the outcome.  The project management team kept all of the trade teams moving like an orchestra conductor, kept us informed throughout the project and effectively dealt with the inevitable “curve-balls” that arose.  Bottom-line, I would work with Matrix again and will recommend them to family and friends.

**★★★★★ — jl1jacobo, Feb. 2024**

> Our experience with Matrix was good.  We had a basement that needed demo but was mostly bare concrete floor and walls. Construction went smoothly and each trade cleaned up the job site daily.  Overall communication with this company was good.  Any issues were handled thru email via the Builders app and were responded to within a reasonable timeframe.  Ben G.  our assigned project site manager was in communication the entire time and any question I had he was quick to respond. He kept us informed of any potential delays and was quick to respond to any questions I had. The Buildertrend App made it easy to communicate with the Matrix team and stay informed on the subcontractors’ schedules.

He called us and kept us up to date on everything that was happening and stopped by quite a bit to check on things. Matrix has an app for your phone with a calendar which shows you exactly what days workers will be in and they stayed on schedule. The app also shows you your payments and has all your documentation included.  All the guys who came here to work were very polite, professional, clean and did great work. I recommend them!

**★★★★★ — Doug Nichols, Sept. 2023**

> An excellent basement contractor. I have a background in construction having been a CFO for contractors. I knew what to expect from a good contractor. From the initial proposal through the completion of the work Matrix was good to their word and completed things according to schedule. Every milestone and deadline has been met. The app that they use for scheduling and tracking progress with photos makes the process seamless and facilitates good communication with the construction team and you as the owner's representative throughout the construction period. The schedule was created with time contingencies in mind, meaning for example, they scheduled 2 days for completion when it actually took just one day for a particular item. This was a buffer and it succeeded in keeping the project on time

**★★★★★ — Peter Catalano, March 2023**

> From start to finish very professional and easy to work with. Schedule is laid out for you to see and follow. When changes or something needed Matrix people there to help.

**★★★★★ — Jaime Z., March 2023**

> Great experience overall. You get what you pay for with a service like Matrix.
> I am not in construction, and I paid for peace of mind for my basement project.
>
> I got more than I expected since Matrix coordinated the permit process, all of the materials procurement, all of the tradesmen that came through, the logistics of material delivery, material movement into the space from the delivery trucks, the city inspections, and likely a hundred other activities and decisions that must be made along the way.  I didn't have to do any of that, which was a great weight off my shoulders.
>
> From the start. all the trades that came through were on time, with Matrix uniforms and tarps to protect flooring.
> It was clear that each trade was professional and adept at their work. I was impressed by each one, the attention to detail and the thoroughness.
>
> I liked the way the project was managed. I was provided access to a portal that contained a detailed schedule of work, a place to make payments, a place to send messages to the Matrix team and a place where the trades uploaded photos of the progress. The work was assigned a Project Manager that became my central contact, which was great. Any question or concern that came up, I took it up with him. If the trades had a question or concern, they took it up with him. That made for a very smooth process overall. I didn't have any issues throughout the work and that is because I received timely communication of any changes in the schedule or anything else that came up. From my part, I made an effort to do the same; to communicate my needs and questions.
> I am very happy with the final result and I have peace of mind that it is done correctly and to code. I don't anticipate any problems with the work and I look forward to using the space for years to come.

**★★★★★ — HU-897960459, March 2023**

> I have nothing but great things to say about our experience working with Matrix Home Solutions. The process was smooth from the very beginning. Everything went up very quickly and we are very happy with the speediness and quality of the work. Gerardo was one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen not only with this project but in general. He came to do the walls, doors, trim, etc. He went above and beyond what we could have imagined. Gerardo was very clear on what his plans were for his work, gave me education on what looks best based on his experience, and always encouraged us not to be shy about pointing things out if they needed to be touched up because he truly wanted customer satisfaction (even if it created more work for him.) He was incredibly respectful coming into our home, very approachable, and professional. Thank you, Gerardo, for everything! Your hard work really made the whole thing come together at the very end!
> Finally, Rick the field manager! Rick was amazing to work with! He was always looking out for the best interest of the customers. Rick came frequently to check status of the project while ensuring everything was meeting our desires. Rick was always clear on communication and getting back to us with whatever questions we had. He was very dependable and always went above and beyond in his work. He was flexible with and changes we threw at him and always encouraging us to share our thoughts. Rick is incredibly professional, has a lot of knowledge, experience, and thought outside of the box. I also appreciate that he was able to look at things and catch the original plans and how it may impact our home life moving forward. For example, thinking about us and how we would move furniture back into the living space and offering to order a wider door to make our lives easier to do that. Rick was always looking to make things better and more efficient.  There were things that Rick did not have to do for us but was more than willing and we truly could not have asked for a better filed manager to work with.
>
> Thank you to everyone who came to complete our dream basement! We are very glad we used Matrix Home Solutions to complete this project.

**★★★★★ — HU-116748293, Feb. 2023**

> Rick, our project manager, was fantastic for our basement project. He checked in frequently via visits to the site, texts & calls & responded to any questions we had quickly as well. We had things we didn’t think of until the project was going & he made adjustments with no complaints. The company that built our house messed up a lot when they were building & just about every subcontractor found something that wasn’t built or done correctly - they fixed all of them. Any hiccups in the schedule were resolved quickly. All the subcontractors cleaned up well after themselves. They also painted the walls coming out of the basement that got scratched/scuffed up during construction. We’re going to use matrix in the future for any remodeling needs upstairs!

**★★★★ — Eric Ritger, Jan. 2023**

> The basement of our dreams has become a reality. It could not have happened without the expertise of Matrix. Carpenters Neil and Grant were amazing and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were easy to work with and helped explain everything. Just make sure you review all designs as we had a bit of back and forth around a difficult bathroom layout, but the end result speaks for itself.

**★★★★★ — Regina Reilly, Jan. 2023**

> Matrix Solutions finished a portion of my basement.  From the beginning to the finshed product, the work was well done and in a timely manner.  Everyone was very professional and worked so hard.  Considering the amount of work done, the cleanup left the basement looking beautiful. The Assistant Production Manger, Jackie Burgos and Ben Gibbons, who coordinated and scheduled the work, were both very helpful during the project.  I'm glad I had them do the work it was painless and the result exceeded my expecations.

**★ — HU-893357623, Oct. 2022**

> There are pros and cons with the companies, but overall not someone I would recommend based on end result quality at the end of the day.
>
> First, they have a very aggressive sales strategy where they come into your house and try to negotiate until a deal is made. It is basically a 'take the deal now, or we will walk method.' In this initial conversation, my sales representative, Hunter, basically made promises that were not kept. He told us that the basement stair railing would be replaced and that non-crown molding options are professional looking and standard with the black paint ceiling option we selected.
>
> Fast forward to the closing week of our basement, our project manager, Steve, stated the railing was never included and that he would just cover it with wood filler - which I was willing to overlook. However, the painting was not included in our $30k project, so I had my own painters come in to finish the project. They pointed out that the top of our drywalls were not even, and they recommend this be fixed (as they have painted several basements and it is not standard).
>
> I contacted Steve and sent the attached pictures. He stated this is their standard quality of work and that if I wanted it fixed, I would have to pay money. This is entirely unacceptable after spending $30k on a project to be told 'this is our standard quality of work' and that we need to pay for them to fix it.
>
> At the end of the day, they want your money. You can review the pictures for examples of their 'standard quality of work.' This also includes them leaving trash in our basement and not installing door handles on the one closet we had. Go with another company.

**★★★★★ — HU-366197253, Oct. 2022**

**★ — C N, Dec. 2021**

> I contracted Matrix to build a bathroom in my basement. I went over the area where I would like the bathroom to be installed with the initial floor plan manager. He gave me a time frame of a week to a week and a half. I figured given the issues with contractor supplies, it would take a little bit longer than that. It ended up taking just under five months total from product delivery to final inspection.
>
> I told them where I wanted the bathroom installed and went over the initial floor plans with Matrix. When it came to review the CAD drawings, they had the bathroom in a completely different location. There was some back and forth but they were able to relocate the bathroom to where I originally wanted it installed.
>
> I then sent them all products I would like installed in the bathroom so I could order them ahead of time. Matrix approved the products and said they would fit for the dimensions of the bathroom. When the plumber came to install the rough-in plumbing, he said the shower had order and got approved by Matrix would not fit. I had to re-order a new shower and equipment for the install.
>
> Throughout the duration of the project, Matrix constantly had to push back and change the timeline without any prior coordination. My family would have inspectors or contractors show up at unspecified times. It did get better after a few months of us asking for prior notice of when things were scheduled.
>
> The work done by the contractors was poor at best, except for the plumber. San Angelo Plumbing was great throughout the duration of the process. The outlets are off center. Sloppy finishing around the baseboards and drywall. They left a lot of drywall putty that stuck to the floors of the basement when they left. Matrix retrieved their leftover supplies but never cleaned up after the project was completed.
>
> The worst part about the whole process was that they charged out the loan account two months prior to the project being completed. I contacted the loan company who was able to put a hold on it so my payments would stop. The loan company tried multiple times to contact Matrix regarding the issue but they never received a response back. The pictures attached show the state of the bathroom when the account was charged out. They did end up fixing the issues but it took an additional two months to complete.
>
> I can understand things not getting done according to schedule but to charge out the loan account before the work is finished is completely unacceptable. Then to be unresponsive to the loan company is another major issue that is extremely unprofessional. I have never reviewed a company before but I had such a negative experience with Matrix, I felt obligated to try and dissuade anyone from using them in the future.

**★ — HU-705533207, Dec. 2021**

> This Summer we lost my dad to his year long battle with lung cancer. Shortly after, my mother decided she wanted to expand and remodel the house like he had wanted to for years. She decided to go with Matrix. Little did we know, that would end up being a mistake. They started work in mid October. We were just having our basement refinished with a bedroom added. Well, the first red flag should’ve been the price they were giving us. 70,000$ to refinish the basement, redo a bathroom located down there, and add an additional room. It was only until after it was too late into the contract that we were informed just how much we were being overcharged by friends in this kind of business. So eventually we took out the bathroom project and it brought us to our current price: $56,500. This job should’ve been easy, right? Even with set backs, it was estimated 10-12 weeks according to the man we signed the contract with. We are now just about at that point and all that’s been accomplished is rough framing, rough electrical, and rough HVAC. Their scheduling is absolutely ridiculous and all they keep telling us is “oh, well set backs happen in construction“. The entire month of December, only one thing is being accomplished (foam insulation install). As well as January (Drywall install). It seems they’re only doing one little part of the project at a time, per month. We’ve tried reaching out to not only our project manager, but the higher ups in the company. Our project manager just tells us “Oh, that’s the soonest we can get those contractors in“. As for the higher ups, they have yet to even acknowledge us and our concerns. The main problem with this project is that it’s leaving one person camping out in a tent (for some semblance of privacy) in our front room, because that was their living space. And it’s really taking a toll on their mental health. Now they have no living space and the company just keeps delaying things far beyond what we were told. And they know this person is displaced. They don’t care. It’s now estimated that a 2.5 month project is going to take 5, being finally finished by March. If you guys were so overbooked, why not tell us that in the first place?

> I wish they would have been honest up front. They haven't started on the project, but they've been paid about half of what was quoted.

**★★★★★ — Ivan Lagunes, Sept. 2021**

> Excellent job, perfectly done, on time. The best painters and carpenters. Highly recommended they were always on time, always making their way in and out of the house without bothering. Great option.

> We had our basement renovated by Matrix. Our contractor Ben was one of the most amazing and helpful person. Always very communicative and was on top of things!

**★★★★★ — Beth Loyd, Aug. 2021**

> Matrix was a pleasure to work with during our Finished Basement project.  From the initial consultation through the completion, we were able to easily communicate and collaborate.  Our Project Manager, Ben, was easy to get a hold of, quick to resolve any questions or concerns we had throughout the project.  All subcontractors were professional, friendly and easy to work with.  We are absolutely thrilled with the final project.  Our basement is now the highlight of our home with space for the whole family and guests.  We love the specialized features including hidden bookshelves and television/fireplace build out.   Thank you for a wonderful experience and amazing finished basement.

**★★★★★ — HU-675492621, Aug. 2021**

> We are super happy with our basement!! They are always on time and always on schedule. Ben is great to work with including his team ( Jesus- carpenter and Adrian) they are the best and very accommodating to us! Highly recommended. Our basement is done on time! ( 2.5 months). Now we can enjoy our additional space that we dreamed of.

> Great group of people and my job was actually done a full day early. Thanks to everyone for answering my questions along the way!

**★★★★★ — pjhollyjr, June 2021**

> Matrix was professional, thorough and upfront.  Their project management in particular was great--we always knew what was going to happen next , and could easily plan appropriately.  Our basement looks great, and was done with high quality.  Their prices are a tad high, but the results speak for themselves--we are confident that our basement will stand the test of time.  We could recommend them again.

**★★★★★ — mgnmk, June 2021**

> Matrix Basements transformed our unfinished basement into a bedroom, living room, office, and bathroom, which almost doubled the finished square footage of our family’s small ranch home. From planning to materials to construction to finishing work, a basement remodel is a huge project with tons of moving parts. We are pleased with the results, and we would hire Matrix again.
>
> Shawn Sheedy was our Field Foreman, and he was integral to the success of the project. We cannot thank him enough for going the extra mile throughout the course of our project. Shawn spent a lot of time on site ensuring that work was completed in a timely and professional manner. He was available throughout the project from start to finish, and he made sure that all the pieces of the puzzle came together as planned.  Shawn worked hard to address and resolve minor issues along the way.  We were fortunate to have worked with him.
>
> Dan Davis, Sales Manager, provided excellent customer service during the planning process. His prompt response to numerous questions was appreciated, and the responsiveness was one of the (several) reasons we decided to contract Matrix instead of one of the other companies that bid on our project.
> We were also pleased with the work of the tradesmen. Each piece of the project involved an individual or crew that specialized in that particular trade. Namely, Jeremy was very precise in his trim and door work, and Tim made sure the finish paint was spot on.
>
> Finishing a basement is a big construction project that spans months of planning and execution. Working with a company that specializes in this work was invaluable. Thank you, Matrix crew! Our family’s quality of living has been significantly upgraded.

> A great experience! Love our finished basement by Matrix! Being able to custom design our layout, select all our own finishes and paint colors, flooring, doors, etc., and really a great customer service experience from start to finish. Also, using the mobile app provided we were able to track every aspect of the project in all phases. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Whitney, April 2021**

> I hired Matrix to finish my basement and it turned out beautiful! This company runs like a very well-oiled machine. My project was done on-time and all sub-contractors were professional, polite, honest, and flexible. Very high-quality work! Matrix had been recommended to me by my neighbor and I'd 100% recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch basement remodel.

**★★★★★ — Susan Close, April 2021**

> We hired Matrix to finish our basement. Matrix has been one of the best choices we made for upgrading our house. They have been professional, efficient, and reliable. The work they have done and the manner in which the project has been executed has far exceeded our expectations. We referred Matrix to 2 friends who booked with them right away. We were especially impressed by the regular communication, access to the schedule/calendar and photos, as well as the stellar project manager Ben Gibbons. If something was off track, or if a member of the team missed anything, we hardly noticed because Ben was there to inspect the entire project from start to completion and would troubleshoot on our behalf. We highly recommend Matrix!

**★★★★★ — Karen Wright, April 2021**

> We had an excellent experience with Matrix when remodeling our basement.  Ben G. was our project manager and helped make the process run smoothly.  Ben, as well as all of Matrix’s contractors, were very professional.  I was very impressed how they cleaned up at the end of every day and how easy it was to get a hold of someone (especially Ben) if a concern came up, even on the weekends. Most importantly, the finished product was amazing.   I highly recommend using Matrix and their team of professionals to complete your basement.  They are honest, professional, and all costs were explained up front before we signed the contract.

**★★★★★ — F Dancy, April 2021**

> Very professional from start to finish. I was a little hesitant at first because the price was a little steep. In the end I am happy with the result. The job passed every inspection the first time. All of the subs were very nice and respectful.

**★★★★★ — ajee17, March 2021**

> We went with Matrix after our neighbor highly recommended them. We had a great experience with Matrix. The process was smooth and everyone we worked with was incredibly friendly.  Our basement was completed on schedule without additional hassle. We are very satisfied with the work completed and would recommend them with to anyone looking to finish their basement.

**★★★★★ — HU-181663085, Jan. 2021**

> I have to admit things started off a bit rocky. Matrix had to reschedule our initial meeting a few times.. and when we finally had our first meeting, their sales tactic felt a bit aggressive. That said, working with Matrix has been insanely easy. Brian D provided us with great solutions to our layout issues, and our Project Manager Daniel was super responsive and knowledgeable. Even with all the projects he was managing, he always made us feel like we were on top of the list. Our team of subcontractors were all experts in their respective trades. Specifically, our carpenters, Oscar and Romero were amazing! Their attention to detail was impeccable. We are just a few days from completion, and I cannot wait to start furnishing our new living space. Thanks Matrix for making our vision come to life! With Matrix, you get what you pay for... quality work and a seamless process!

**★★★★★ — HU-66058812, Jan. 2021**

**★★★★★ — HU-566508759, Jan. 2021**

> The positives: On time:  loved their scheduling, And they stick to the schedule.  This was high priority for us.  They delivered a great looking basement in two months, just as they promised.
>
> Quality people:  all the people who came were good people , hard workers, and did a very good job. The carpenters, painters, drywallers etc were outstanding.
>
> Project manager:  Daniel was our project manager.  We thought he was the BEST!  He kept everything on schedule, communicated in very timely way, and I trusted him completely.
>
> Planning:  They are really good at planning the whole process.  They deliver supplies on time.  Pick up garbage on time.  All the contractors show up when they are supposed to.  That’s nice!
>
> Concerns:  Sales process:  Didn’t like the sales process.  It’s vague.
> I didn’t feel we got the full disclosure always.   This happened with a stair nosing issue. A manager at Matrix told me emphatically that there were no other options for  stair nosing that is flush to the floor.  I called the manufacturer and learned that they indeed had such an option. Matrix ended up putting in the flush stair bullnose

> Overall, just a few hiccups on a big project, on time, done with great care and quality. Highly recommend1

**★★★★★ — HU-210084055, Jan. 2021**

> Matrix did a wonderful job on our basement remodel!  So professional and courteous.  The end result is beautiful and we are so excited to start decorating it and using it.  Everything was scheduled out, and there were no delays.  Ben, our project manager, was the best!  He answered all our questions and was quick to respond.  The outside contractors were wonderful too.  We will definitely recommend Matrix to our family and friends.

**★★★★★ — Anne Batty, Dec. 2020**

> Our experience with Matrix was fantastic from start to finish! We requested an expedited timeline and Matrix delivered! The quality of work, high-end materials used and the company's attention to detail were worth every penny. Our project manager daniel was readily available to us at all times and promptly answered all our questions and concerns. All the workers we encountered were skilled, professional and courteous. The project went incredibly smoothly and the company handled all the fine details including the building permit and scheduling all the inspections. We couldn't believe our project finished on time and without any hiccups! We LOVE the look of our new finished basement and are so impressed with the quality and timeliness of the work!

**★★★★★ — Tom Quille, Dec. 2020**

> The Matrix Team was especially easy to work with, prompt to respond to any questions and concerns, and walked us through each and every step of the process.

> Very good company to work with. Project was a little expensive but came out beautiful. The workers were all polite and did a great job. Steve the foreman was always a text away and communicated quickly. Sometimes there were delays but Project finished within a week of projected finish. Overall very satisfied with the work done by matrix.

**★★★★★ — HU-364024308, Dec. 2020**

> Our basement was a poorly done DIY job by the past owners and as a result, it became more of a storage area than a living space. Matrix transformed the old basement into a new, warm and inviting living space that we know will become the favorite place for family and friends to gather. From start to finish, working with the Matrix team was a smooth and easy process. Our project manager, Ben, did an excellent job of keeping us informed every step of the way, answering our questions and making small adjustments to the plan on the fly. The craftsmanship by the framing, insulating, drywall, electrical, painting and finish carpentry crews was top notch. Our only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner. I highly recommend Matrix.

**★★★★★ — HU-370938279, Dec. 2020**

> We absolutely enjoy our new finished basement! Matrix is the way to go ! It was a great experience from the initial meeting with the sales and design team to the project manager Daniel to Ramiro the lead carpenter along with the rest of the team who made our vision come alive. Everyone was professional, on time and brought great ideas to share. We will definitely recommend Matrix to friends and family looking to finish a basement or remodel. We can't wait to create many new memories with our family!

**★★★★★ — Tim Kineke, Nov. 2020**

> Went very well - they handled all of the work from start to finish including handling contractors. They were very flexible throughout the process in updating plans as issues came up (like when we realized the space at the bottom of the staircase would be too small to move furniture in, they helped rework the space to make it more open and roomy). I think it went very well and the finished product was delivered much earlier than expected and the quality of the work is very high.

**★ — ristyka, Nov. 2020**

> We hired Matrix Basement Systems this summer to finish our basement.  Dan Davis, the sales representative, does a very good job assuring you Matrix cares about communication, detail, and customer service.  Three months later, I can safely say, none of that is true.  Once we signed our contract, we were told we would have a foreman for our job that would be used to keep communication open.  In addition, we were told about the " Builder Trend" app that we would be able use to keep up to date with project installments and deadlines.  It all sounded so great.  None of it is true.  First, the Builder Trend app is NEVER accurate.  The times are wrong, the dates are wrong, there is no follow through at all.  We actually had a 14 day period in the middle of our project where we never saw one person- and the app showed the project should have already been completed.  Unless you literally can make a full time job out of working around the installer's schedules (which is typically work for an hour or so and take off), I would highly recommend choosing a different company.  We were told the project would take 2-3 weeks once it began.  Jamie, our foreman, refused to return phone calls, returned text messages with false information and could really care less about the customer.  I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.  Steer clear.  UPDATE- I am attaching pictures that represent the appearance of my basement because I truly believe a picture speaks 1000 words.

**★★★★★ — HU-244829238, Nov. 2020**

> Matrix did an amazing job finishing our basement! This was a long time coming and they listened and gave us there input on what we wanted/ needed. The schedule was on point and they did not stray away from it despite COVID. Our main contacts were with our GC Ben and Jay, which were very attentive and communitive. All the crews were all very respectful and did great quality work.  I'd recommend this company to anyone looking to finish their basement.

**★★★★★ — HU-565235475, Nov. 2020**

> Overall finished product is what was promised. We had some delays due to permit issues with the village, some of the subcontractors made a mess of the ceiling after it was finished, but all issues were addressed and fixed & the basement looks great.

**★★★★★ — HU-834711052, Nov. 2020**

**★★★★★ — HU-890962250, Oct. 2020**

> Excellent company. Extremely professional, and very detail oriented. My main points of contact were with Ramiro, Oscar and Ben (field manager) and all 3 were very easy to work with, and followed through on everything they said they'd do. They showed up on time, were good about cleaning up, and most importantly the end product is very high quality. They are a great company to work with, no matter the size of your basement.

**★★★★★ — HU-618275249, Oct. 2020**

> Matrix did a fantastic job finishing our basement.  The finished product is beautiful and worth every penny.  Special shout out to Victor, our main point of contact over the past few weeks!  I'd recommend this company to anyone looking to finish their basement the right way.

**★★★★★ — Marie Doyle, Sept. 2020**

> Slow start after signing the contract due to COVID but the results were above expectations.  Everyone who Matrix sent to work in my home  was on-time, professional, and courteous.  Matrix worked with me to get the finished space I desired to be within my budget - they provided ideas and ways to minimize expense.  Special recognition to Rolondo who was able to cover up some builder deficiencies with a beautiful design.

**★★★★★ — Robert Thomas, Sept. 2020**

> Matrix finished out the remainder of our basement. Our GC, Ben was great and part of the difference between this being a 5\* review and not a 4\* review. Final product looks good and I would use again.

**★★★★ — Jesse Vuorenmaa, Aug. 2020**

> The work included a basement remodel with bathroom installation.  The supervisor for the project (Victor) did a fantastic job keeping us informed regarding the schedule, delays, and potential issues. He was also willing to step in to complete the work when necessary to keep the project on schedule.

**★★★★★ — Tyla Hager, Aug. 2020**

> Having Matrix manage the remodel of our basement was the best decision. They handled everything from contractors to supplies. The basement is exactly the way we wanted it. I would definitely recommend!

**★★★★★ — Michael Zink, Aug. 2020**

> This was our dream basement and it has now come true to Matrix. We are so impressed with the quality of work and the amazing outcome. Working with Victor was a real pleasure. He cared for our project as if it was his own home. Thank You Matrix.

**★★★★★ — Fred Chavis, Aug. 2020**

> Matrix Basement Finishing Systems created a great area for our family and friends to enjoy. Their quality of work and professionalism is superb, and they completed our basement on time and on budget!  We were really impressed with their overall quality of work and attention to detail.  Their lead supervisor Victor was attentive and engaged throughout the entire project to ensure each facet of the job was not only finished but completed correctly.  Temo, our lead installer was excellent in his approach to everything from framing the walls, installing the doors and cabinetry, and installing the window and drywall.  Also, their electricians and plumbers did a great job and were always on time and met their required schedules.  Overall, we are incredibly pleased with the entire project as each team member was professional, thorough and courteous.  The quality and workmanship typified their dedication in ensuring customer satisfaction.  Matrix is a great contractor, provides quality workman

**★★★★★ — Jensen George, Aug. 2020**

> It was a pleasure working with the entire Matrix team from when they drafted the proposal all the way to close out. They provided great quality work, great value, and the team was extremely responsive. If I had to add ONE negative comment, it would be that they didn’t do the greatest job with site protection. Only some of their trades laid down floor protection in the finished areas of my house where they had to walk through. My basement doesn’t have a door that connects to the rest of the house (it’s a split level house), so dust got everywhere until I put up a tarp myself.  But all the actual work they performed in the basement was extremely professional. I would ignore the other negative reviews because they all complain about the process before the job even starts, I would take the actual quality of their work more into consideration. Overall, I would highly recommend to friends and family.

**★★★★★ — Chris K, July 2020**

> We just completed having our basement remodeled with Matrix, everything went great.  The work team was always on time and professional. Even when we did some of the work ourselves (painting and flooring), scheduling was no problem as they were very flexible.  The project was initially delayed due to COVID but once we got going, it went very smooth.  We especially loved the work completed with the new bathroom and black industrial ceiling painting!  Would definitely recommend.

**★★★★★ — Chris Moozhayil, July 2020**

> We were in need of a bathroom in the basement and so got a few quotes. Chris from Matrix Basement came for a quote and helped us in our situation. He designed and quoted a bathroom looking at our needs and situation for a great bathroom. Really helped us in finances in getting max discount and helped us secure financing. We went with them and continued with the project. Joe came in and helped us with design and making sure we get what we wanted for a custom bathroom. Then covid-19 came in but when lockdown was over Steve helped us as our project manager. Immediately resuming the project in a timely manner, brought in deliveries and started construction. Also making sure any damages were fixed and better than before. They completed the project on time without any delays. Brian food a great job with painting and installing. The team at Matrix Basement Systems did a great job and now we have a great bathroom in the basement in our time of need.

**★★★★★ — HU-388119360, July 2020**

**★★★★★ — Sarah Graybill, July 2020**

> Matrix and their whole team was great to work with: everyone was very respectful and efficient, and we hardly knew they were hard at work as our routines were barely interrupted. They were communicative, as well as glad to pivot on a task or make a revision to the original plan as the process moved along in order to meet the basement's changing needs as it all came together. I would say we would gladly work with them again, but this basement was a one-and-done deal. :)

**★★★★★ — Sharon Price, June 2020**

**★★★★★ — Ashley Peace, Jan. 2020**

> Our basement is beyond beautiful!!! We wanted a clean, open, and bright space that matched the feel of the rest of our home. We wanted a modern basement that we could use for years to come and would enhance our lifestyle. Through the entire  process our team helped accomplish all of our goals and always made every adjustment needed to accommodate our wishes. Shawn is the best project manager you could ever ask for, he went above and beyond to check on us and make sure the project ran smoothly from start to finish. Shawn came to the house often and would check in on us to ensure that we were happy and that the design was 100 percent perfect. I can’t say enough about how happy and lucky we feel about getting to work with Shawn on this project! Jose and his team not only do excellent work but are also polite and friendly. If you are finishing a basement, call these people! You will not regret it.

**★★★★★ — J Robinson, Jan. 2020**

> Matrix did a great job turning our seldom used basement into a space my family and friends actually want to spend time in.  Once construction began, our foreman Steve was great.  He was constantly staying in contact via phone calls, texts, and in-person visits.  The various trades that came in were very efficient and skilled.  Couldn't be happier with how the final product looks.  Would recommend Matrix to anyone looking for a company you can trust to renovate your home.

**★★★★★ — sawinskis, Jan. 2020**

> We had a great experience with Matrix Basement Systems.  They just completed our basement and we are very happy with their work.  Steve, our project manager, was great.  He was very attentive, easy to get in contact with, always took care of any issues that arose quickly, even if it meant doing it himself, and was around frequently to ensure things were running smoothly.  Wesley and his crew did a majority of the work in my basement.  They did a great job painting the basement ceiling, installing the crown and trim, installing the cabinets, creating a full bathroom, and a little playroom for the kids.  We are very satisfied with our basement.

**★★★★★ — Paulette Boundy, Jan. 2020**

> I would highly recommend Matrix Basement Systems.  They were very professional, easy to work with and the project manager, Steve Trevino, stayed on top of everything and kept me fully informed as to when and which crews were coming, both via phone calls and texts, and was always coming by the house to check on the progress to make sure everything was running smoothly.  They were in and out in eight weeks and that included breaks for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.  These are the people to hire for a well done professional job.

**★★★★★ — HU-127805160, Jan. 2020**

> Matrix basement was a great company to work with! Jordan (our salesman) spent 4 hours with us creating the floor plan. Steve was our go to once the project started and he was very approachable and helpful thru the whole project. The only thing I think I would change throughout their process is more so to walk a final layout with Steve as well that way there is no miscommunication. Martinez who was out drywall guy did a FAB job!

**★★★★★ — HU-150827196, Dec. 2019**

> Matrix have always done a good job when it comes to finishing up a basement. They are 2for2 with me when it came to finishing my project with the time frame I give them.

> FIVE STARS FOR MATRIX.
> Matrix basement people are the best. We hired them in late September and our basement was beautifully finished in time for thanksgiving. Jamie Verhines, our project coordinator, is top notch. His knowledge, professionalism and ability to manage his crew are stellar. Jamie’s crews were all great and we’d like to mention three in particular. Brian Rico and Mark went above and beyond to make everything perfect.  In addition matrix will come back if we have any problems. Thanks to this wonderful company.

**★★★★★ — HU-913802213, Dec. 2019**

> From the start, everything about Matrix was fantastic. Our initial sales consultation was smooth and quick. We had a few questions regarding different costs for different materials and configuration for our basement, and Jordan was able to show us those easily. We moved forward with what we felt was a very reasonable cost estimate for our basement, and that amount only changed when we made a slight modification. When they say the price you start with is what you pay, it’s a refreshing difference from some interactions with other contractors.

> We couldn’t have asked for a better project manager than Shawn. He was always a phone call/text away and made sure that we were kept in the loop every step of the way; even making sure to stop by any time that we had question about our project. Jose is a jack of all trades and did excellent work, from start to finish. Between Shawn and Jose, they always went above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matrix to friends and family, particularly if they are lucky enough to work with Shawn and Jose!

> Every part of their team was super efficient and kind. All great people to work with! I absolutely love how clean and bright the space is now. Everything looks very sharp and professional. They worked hard and quick on our short timeline. Everyone was easy to get ahold of and quick to answer any questions or concerns we had along the way.

**★★★★★ — Anastasia Krentz, Nov. 2019**

> If you are thinking of finishing or refinishing your basement, you should call Matrix Basements. They are professional, fully staffed with project managers and a sales team in addition to contractors, and they offer excellent financing programs as well. Steve, our project manager, walked us through every step of the project. He was organized and professional and an amazing resource of information for the areas of the basement we chose to tackle ourselves.  Our finish carpenters were true craftsmen. They didn’t miss a detail!  I highly recommend Matrix Basements and Steve Trevino’s team including Rolando, Wesley, Martinez, Andy and Chris!  Thank you, Matrix, for creating a living space that we will enjoy for many, many years!

**★★★★★ — Katharine Nipper, Nov. 2019**

> We have had a wonderful experience with Matrix. Our basement looks fantastic! It is finally cozy and livable. They completed the project efficiently and with quality. Communication with the project manager and contractors was great. They were thorough and graciously worked with us on any questions we had and adjustments we needed. Definitely recommend.

**★★★★★ — Beverly Edwards, Oct. 2019**

> Matrix transformed our unfinished basement from unusable blah to a beautiful fully functional recreation room, great for watching sports or entertaining friends. Our renovation included a wet bar with cabinets, bathroom, sprayed ceiling, tile floors, and crown molding...all in a timely manner.
> Our foreman, Steve T., did an excellent job scheduling all work activity, and keeping us informed. We are very pleased with the quality of work and the professionalism of the crew, as well.  (A special shoutout to Martinez and Mary/Wes! )

**★★★★★ — HU-915765915, Oct. 2019**

> We hired Matrix to finish our basement.  From the beginning,  their communication was excellent.   We always knew who was coming and on which days to work.   They were very responsive to any texts or emails.   They quickly answered any questions and addressed any concerns we brought up throughout the entire project.   The quality of the work was very good, with only a couple of small items that needed to be fixed in the final walk through.   They were corrected immediately.   The project finished close to the original timeline,  the only delay coming when we had to wait for the city inspections.   Overall,  very happy with the entire project and with Matrix.

**★★★★★ — Debbie DeRouchie\_Anderson, Sept. 2019**

> We love Matrix. I love the  fact that from the first visit to the final inspection they do it all. We had a great project manager Joe  and Steve Trevino was our manager and he was awesome.  They listened to what I wanted and made it happen. We built a 1900 sq ft “Condo” in my daughters basement. They did incredible work and made my dream home for me. The quality and perfection of all details made my build a success. Thank you to all who worked so hard and got the project finished weeks ahead of schedule.

> Matrix Basement did my basement in Canton, MI.  Here’s my reviews:
>
> Sales representative – Dan Davis 5 Stars.
>
> My first contact with Matrix Basement was Dan Davis.   From the very start he was nothing but professional.   A very nice person to work with.   He did not try to hide the fact that Matrix Basement was on the pricy side, but guaranteed me I would be highly satisfied with the work.  He was able to measure the basement and work up the pricing in one visit.   He also made the meeting time convenient to me.     In the end, Dan came through on the contract negotiations, which made it a win-win for both of us.
> I would highly recommend Dan Davis as your sales rep for Matrix Basement!!!!!
>
>
>
> Foreman – Shawn Sheedy 5 Stars.
>
>    The basement work was outstanding by Matrix Basement.    Shawn Sheedy was my foreman and did an outstanding job.    There is a lot of coordination that goes on for his job, from the scheduling of the frame, electrical, plumbing, inspections, dry walling, painting, trim work and finish work.   A lot of coordination that Shawn has drawn up in the Giga-byte memory of his (according to Shawn).    Nothing was missed and nothing was out of sequence.   From step A to Z, everything was done perfect.
> The crew that did my basement was Jose and his family.   Unreal how good they are and how much of a perfectionist they are.   They have every attention to detail and nothing was missed.   A very nice family as well.
> Anyone having their basements done by Matrix Basements please request Shawn and the crew of Jose.
> Both get five starts from me!!!!!

**★★★★★ — megrichie73, Sept. 2019**

> Matrix met our basement remodel needs. THANK YOU SHAWN SHEEDY!
>
> We contracted Matrix Basement Systems for a partial basement finish immediately with the goal of a complete basement finish come spring. This gave us the opportunity to assess the job by matrix and still give us our 2 bonus rooms and full bath in the basement that we needed sooner than a complete refinish. The customer service provided by Shawn Sheedy as our project manager was awesome! I had tons of questions daily, called and texted him, he would always reply to his high maintenance customer (me :) ) quickly, politely, and often! I couldn’t have asked for a better PM and team leader!!!Thanks Shawn! The team that he organized and lead, was awesome as well. Every group from clean up to delivery, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, the builders (special shout out to Tom, George, James, Joaquin, and Eugene) went the EXTRA MILE for all of our project needs, were very attentive and sensitive to any questions or concerns. They also took the time to explain. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did! HIGH QUALITY AND PLEASANT EXPERIENCE! I’m so excited to get the rest of the project going this spring! Thank you, Matrix, Shawn, and Shawn’s wonderful team!

**★★★★★ — Christopher Lantto, Sept. 2019**

> Been looking to build a basement for a long time.  Had an old couch and a TV in a cement floor, cement walls, dumping ground of old junk and out- grown children clothes and toys.  We decided to just do an internet search on companies who could assist us with turning this into a 3-TV sports betting ground.  The biggest challenge was I literally have no imagination for how things should look.  Enter Matrix.
>
> Matrix sent over Dan Davis who sat with us and was very patient and literally ignored the embarrassing disaster we could not even hope to have ready before he arrived...We had barely made a dent in cleaning it up but he acted as if it was no big deal and started getting measurements helping us make suggestions on what we could roughly do with the space with the basic goals we wanted for what price.
>
> Dan passed us off to Shawn Sheedy, our contractor who worked for Matrix, as all the employees do (not subbed out).  Shawn is down to earth, a real person, ALWAYS willing to take your call (even when out of town) and willing to confidently offer his word on what he is going to do, and more importantly when, and he's even willing to shoot you straight when he can't.
>
> Shawn is experienced with a creative background in building Detroit Auto show displays, blunt in a hilarious way which makes you feel at ease, but really  knows how to use his talents and they people's around him to get the job done.  I literally had no idea what I wanted and he extracted broken thoughts of what I was looking for from my head to help me work with Best Buy's Geek Squad (who he happen to know from running into at other jobs) to accomplish something I am very proud to show off.
>
> I trusted strangers daily in my home and they really earned.  I can't go without mentioning one guy named Tom that Shawn sent over who really reflects what any company would be proud to have.  Tom is clearly passionate about his work.  He does not rush to do things the most convenient way, he has a strong attention to detail and listening.  You would be foolish not to hire this company.  They will help you even get it financed.   Im literally sitting on the floor of my new carpet really happy I made the call.

**★★★★★ — Stan Brue, Sept. 2019**

> My experience with Matrix was nothing short of phenomenal.  From Nicki Vitti, Design Consultant, to Shawn Sheedy, Project Mgr.  These two gentlemen ensured the project started, proceeded and ended to our satisfaction.  Shawn was very responsive and replied to EVERY call and text.  I was equally impressed with each contractor that Matrix utilized for the project.  They all work directly for Matrix so are accountable to the company.  Matrix did not use any "Independent Contractors".  We all have heard those horror stories.  Bottom Line;  Our basement was worth every penny we paid.  Thanks Shawn!!!  Thanks Matrix.

**★★★★★ — Jason Krentler, Sept. 2019**

> We waited a long time to do our basement as it was a big project.  I received multiple quotes and proposals prior to making a contractor decision - I also did a lot of research around reputation, customer feedback, reviews, etc.  We chose Matrix - they were competitive from a pricing perspective, and overall I just felt best about them.
>
> We couldn't happier with the decision.  I had folks come through mid-project to provide third-party feedback on their quality - top-shelf across the board.  They didn't try to nickel-dime us - overall I felt the process was fair and they worked hard to take care of us.  The project manager Mark was awesome  - would recommend him to anyone.  Ultimately, I plan on recommending Matrix to anyone looking for a contractor to finish their basement.

**★★★★★ — Claire Moore, Sept. 2019**

> We had a phenomenal experience with Matrix Basement Systems.  They worked with us right from the beginning to make great recommendations about what to do with our unfinished basement and offered great alternative budget and financing options.  Once the work began, they moved efficiently with attention to detail, and communicated with us through every step of the way.  All of the trades were extremely professional and respectful of our space and kept our house clean. I am so incredibly pleased with our result.  They are a first class company!!

**Comment from Matrix Basement Finishing:**

> We really appreciate the business!! Thank you for the feedback as well!!!! Love the blue chairs and blue barn door!

**★★★★★ — Joseph Ianitelli, Aug. 2019**

> Matrix Basement Systems finished our basement in Macomb, MI over the last 8 weeks or so.  We have been very happy watching the transformation take place.  What was once a dirty storage area with concrete walls is now a brand new living space, complete with with a full bathroom, full kitchen/dining area, game room and theatre.

> We always felt very comfortable having Matrix and their teams working on our basement, even when we weren't able to be home at all times.  We received updates almost daily from our project manager, Steve.  We always knew what was happening and what was next.

The service was great, the team was professional, and everybody was friendly and communicated with us every step of the way. Steve, our project manager made sure that we were satisfied with everything as it was being done and Wesley, the painter/carpenter helped us to make decisions we were unsure about.

> Matrix Basement System Inc., simplified my basement remodeling project and were very patient with my husband and I  while we explored various design options. In the beginning, I admit, I was a little nervous to trust Matrix with such a large project. However, Matrix quickly reassured me their operation was top noch! My basement was a disaster before the Matrix team stepped in and helped me formulate a plan that met my budget range. Matrix had an abundence of options which allowed me to create the look I wanted for my basement space. I am very happy with Matrix Basement System, Inc. and I will  gladly recommend Matrix to my family and friends.

**★★★★★ — Lori & Steve, April 2019**

> We love our new basement :)  It's functional now and absolutely beautiful.  Whenever we had a concern about something during the construction, they addressed it.  Extremely impressed with some of the folks Matrix has working for them: the young man who painted the ceiling was one of the hardest working people I've ever met, he worked evenings and even on Sat. & Sun to complete the job.  He was very dedicated & professional.  The men who put up the drywall also worked late into the evening. The project manager worked hard to ensure we were happy with the final project. However it was the sales person who sold us - he was friendly, low pressure and genuine.  We would recommend Matrix to anyone :)

**★★★★★ — DAMON DAVIS, April 2019**

> Great job, all the work done in a timely manner. Communication was very important to me with the team lead. Keep me informed every step during the whole process. Would recommend to anyone who wants a fabulous basement. Thanks Matrix, job well done.

**★★★★★ — Cameron Staley, April 2019**

> We had an idea of what we wanted to do with our basement and Matrix really helped us bring it to life.  From the initial consultation, throughout construction, and down to the small details - everyone at Matrix was great to work with.  The workers were professional, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves.  The project was done faster than we had anticipated, which was very exciting.  We never had to wonder if crews were going to show up.  When the crews said they were coming, they were there.  Whenever we had questions or minor changes to make, the team at Matrix was very accommodating.  We couldn't be any happier with the way our project turned out and we would recommend Matrix to anyone

The workers were all courteous and conscientious. I would recommend Matrix to anyone looking to finish their space.

**★★★★★ — lucretia williams, Sept. 2018**

> I spent nearly a year looking for a company I could trust to do the job, could trust in my home and could trust the quality of their work.  Matrix was the company I went with and they did a great job with my basement.  There were many changes along the way and the project manager, Joe DeGrave, quickly responded to them all.  While the basement took longer than I had hoped, I am very satisfied with the work.  My friends and family can't stop complimenting the work.  Thanks Matrix (smile)

**★★★★★ — Candie Clement, Sept. 2018**

> Matrix Basement Systems did a good job on our basement.  The workers paid attention to details, such as the crown molding.  The spray painted ceiling looks very good as well as the rest of the basement.  There were some glitches along the way, which is to be expected, but overall, we are satisfied with the final product, as of today.

> I reviewed most of the larger basement finishing companies. By far Matrix impressed me the most. Their online pictures and videos are fantastic and gave me a lot of great ideas. I did the initial design on my basement. The salesman Ryan Wright greatly improved on my design and gave me what I believe is a reasonable price for the amount of work to be done. My project supervisor Joe Degrave was also available to answer questions and keep me informed of project status. I am more than satisfied with their quality of work. This company has highly trained professionals in every aspect of the project; including construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and flooring. I highly recommend this company!

We really enjoyed the design Drew came up with.  He was able to change a few design ideas we had originally had in mind.  Those changes made a huge difference in making our basement bar area flow better.

> We had a great experience with Matrix.  The job took longer than expected because we had to deal with permit approvals in a smaller township, but the final project met our image.  We had a number of storage 'custom' ideas that we were able to work our with the Matrix team members as we went along.  The team takes pride in their work.

**★★★★★ — Stephen Guest, May 2018**

> I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Matrix Basement Systems.  From start to finish of the job, my wife and I could not be happier.  The original salesperson we met with, Dan Davis, explained the benefits of the system and showcased the features without pressuring us into purchasing.   Our project coordinator, Joe, and the head of the installation crew, another Joe, were both amazing.  My wife and I threw a few curveballs their way by changing our minds on a couple of things during the process.  We also asked for some custom work that was specific to our basement to be done.  In both cases, I was worried about what Joe and Joe would say, but all we ever heard from them was, “no problem, we’ll make it happen.”  And they were absolutely true to their word.  Greg came in for the final finishing work and ensured that the finished product was perfect. Everyone who came to our house was polite, kind to our curious sons, neat, and extremely professional.  The quality of the workmanship and finished product is completely above and beyond our expectations.  We are thrilled with and are loving our new basement. We have already highly recommended Matrix to our friends and will continue to recommend.

> We have decided to go with Matrix Basements for our basement project after Andy, design consultant came to us for free estimate.He was very easy to talk to and up front with the cost and quality of their product. He also was knowledgeable on what our basement already had done that would off set some major costs.Very competitive on price and worked quickly. I did not in any way feel pressured to sign or commit to anything. Communication from Matrix Basement is well professional, starting from planning, material delivery, project start, all installs. Steve was our field project manager and he was super friendly, explained each and everything patiently and fulfilling all the agreed items. Quality of work is very professional as well as their staff, both in the office and the work crews.Delivery crew,Carpenters and Electricians were pleasant to work with. Delivered quality product as committed. Highly recommend Matrix basement for their professional and quality work.

> Matrix Systems worked diligently to insure we were satisfied with the finished product.  Joe Degrave, in particular, responded to our requests for minor tweaks to the original plan and granted time for us to have an additional egress window installed.  Carpenter Shaun did an exceptional job of installing our trim molding.  Matrix took our plain, drab basement and created a lovely living space.

**★★★★★ — THOMAS and JOAN G, Feb. 2018**

> We finally went ahead with our basement remodel. The 60's style paneling was out of date and showing its age. We found Matrix through a friend's recommendation and are glad we called them. The designer came out and listened to our ideas and then came back with a plan that fit our budget.
> Let me say something about their wall system. The panels are thick and sturdy, with good insulation values. After they were installed, the cool chill of a basement in Michigan in the dead of winter was noticeably warmer and comfortable. My wife is very happy with that aspect alone.
> All of the workers were prompt and punctual and very business-like. Shawn, Kyle, and John were very skilled and offered suggestions as needed. They worked to the plan, but offered ideas on how to change something to make a more efficient design. Their knowledge and experience was a big plus to us. They also kept us informed of the schedule and what we could expect next.

Always courteous and careful to keep the mess to a minimum, they worked well as a team. Our project is beautiful!

**★★★★★ — Tribal Tech, Feb. 2018**

> If you want a one-stop-shop to get your basement finished then Matrix Basement System is the way to go. We've heard horror stories about working with an architect or a "general contractor" where then the home owner needs to spend too much time coordinating stuff with various contractors and then have to see the price getting jacked up for each change order. There is NO way my wife and I had the patience to go through anything even remotely inconvenient as that.
>
> Matrix does a good job at developing a plan based on your needs. Their sales process was zero pressure and the sales guy was great. After the sales process was over they assigned a project coordinator whose name was Joe. He too was great and very courteous and responsive. Last but not the least the contractors/workers who worked on our basement were good people. They did a great, honest job and really worked on our basement like it was their own. Work quality was great and apart from a couple minor hiccups Matrix's guys did an amazing job. Our basement required a laundry room, a gym area, an under-stair bar and a musician's studio room. Matrix executed on everything amazingly well.

> My Husband and I had Matrix out to give us a quote on our basement about four months ago. The design consultant that came out was very knowledgeable and had great ideas to give us on how we should lay out our basement. We were not to familiar with the company but after sitting with the consultant and going over everything in great detail with him we were very impressed. They manufacture a wall that is 100 percent waterproof but looks and finishes like drywall. Once we saw this and saw the quality of work that they do with Basements we thought it was a no brained to hire them to finish ours. The whole process throughout the job went very smoothly. The project manager was great to work with and communicated with us throughout the entire project. The crew that we had out to finish our space was amazing. The quality of work was beyond our expectations and the attention to detail was unbelievable.  The basement turned out beautiful and we could not be happier. I would highly recommend Matrix Basements to anyone who is looking to have their basement finished or remodeled.

Steve and Joe were fantastic to work with as project managers and coordinators that would instantly answer and alleviate all of my concerns and address them as needed. Absolutely recommend them to others looking for a premium product.

> So disappointed with Matrix & would never recommend them. We did a lot of research upfront, went to their show room, saw their wall system, went to an open house, etc. Spoke w/ one of the owners & were convinced that even though this wall design was more expensive than we wanted to pay, it would be the best long term fit for our home. We scheduled an appointment for Matrix to come and measure/quote our basement. They showed up, measured the basement & provided a quote to us immediately, while still at the house. The quote was $40K & my husband and I needed to talk about this. We were not in a position to make a decision immediatley. This didn't go over well with the estimator who was at our house. While he was a decent guy, he told us he worked 100% commissions & he had to call his manager from our home if we did not commit that day. We let him know that we would take our time deciding & if we wanted to proceed, we would contact them. Fast forward to after we signed the contract. We were given a lead time of approximately 8-10 weeks from start to completion. Needless to say, it was close to 14 weeks before complete. During the construction period, the communication was non-existent. The Project Manager NEVER got back to us. We would go days before he would respond to a text/call/email. The first crew that was working on our house even admitted that he was never available. We were told to start communicating with the crew, not the PM. The problem is, Matrix hires the construction crews & they are not employees of Matrix; therefore, anything that you are not happy with or want to change, has to be approved by Matrix before the crews will do the work. This lead to many delays. There were so many delays with our construction because the workers said they couldn't proceed with certain things until Matrix agreed they were going to pay for the work. We had drawings/plans that showed the work they were supposed to do but there always seemed to be questions/discrepencies. We were so disappointed with the lack of communication that I contacted one of the owners, who was a very nice guy. He lit a fire & communication improved, for all of one week. On top of this, the quality of the work being done was terrible. For example, the crew put the carpet in on the stairs first. Then they walked up & down the stairs every single day, without covering the new carpet. They didn't cover one thing while doing the work (washer, dryer, fridge). And they didn't clean/sweep once. We demanded an on-site meeting with our Project Manager to show him the things we were unhappy with. I believe the worst thing could have been the crown molding that literally dipped down 1/2" on every wall. They never brought out a laser to make sure it was level. There were gaps above & below it through out the entire basement. The installed the electrical outlets literally over 2' above the washer & driver, which looked ridiculous. When they sprayed the ceiling, they didn't pull out any of the old insulation, they just painted on top of it. When they installed the shower, they left close to 1/4" gap in between the flooring & the shower wall. Just careless, lazy workmanship. On top of this, they kept telling us that they couldn't find things that we ordered. We had everything in the garage & they would bring things into the basembent as they needed it. Two times, we found stuff that they told us we needed to buy. It was just in a big pile of crap that they never cleaned up. Example: they just left the bathroom vanity box sitting in the basement until we asked them to throw it out. They put the lighting fixture in a closet under the stairs when they started & then questioned where it was. When the PM came out, he agreed that it looked like crap & was very apologetic. Had it ever showed up and checked on the crew and their work, he would have known. Or if he ever responded to our calls/texts/emails. They ended up getting rid of that crew & hiring a new one to tear out a lot that was done & redo it. The second crew did a much better job & we were happy with their quality of work. The downside, they were also working on another house, so they had to juggle between finishing ours & working on another one. When we had our final walk through, my husband asked them to clean up a back room that they had empty boxes in (from the sink, vanity, etc). They said they would, and of course, they did not. The PM also said he was so sorry & was going to send us some gift cards to make up for our headaches. Those never came. We just received a survey from Matrix & both my husband & I filled it out, being brutally honest with our dissatisfaction. I was contact by someone in marketing who listened to my complaints & was apologietic as well. He ended up sending a $250 gift card & some cookies to us. Obviously marketing doesn't do much with the feedback they received, as today, we received a letter asking us if we wanted to make $500 by referring Matrix to anyone. NEVER!

**★★★★★ — Richard Keller, Oct. 2017**

> Matt and Nick came by on relatively short notice and spent a lot of time with my wife and I going over designs on first visit. The suggestions were fantastic and their portfolio is impressive. They have some great solutions for dealing with water, and they went over everything in very good detail.

> On top of all that, they were very easy to talk to and work with. They weren't very pushy and worked with us on financing. I highly recommend Matrix for your basement finishing needs.

**★★★★★ — David Beck, Oct. 2017**

> Our contractor Jesus did amazing work and was very trustworthy. All the trades people were very courteous and did great work. If you have any reservations about completing your basement Matrix well calm your fears
>  Our project supervisor Rick worked well with us and answered all our questions. They even helped us out and worked with us when we had an issue with one of our walls that had a leak. Highly recommended this company!

**★★★★★ — Michael Spatz, Sept. 2017**

> My wife and I were tired of looking at our unfinished basement so we decided to meet with Matrix after visting one of their open houses. We were very impressed with what we saw - along with the quality of their craftsmanship! After interviewing several other companies for the job we chose Matrix. Matrix made it easy for us to plan, design and finance our new basement. We even took advantage of their same day discount (saved me over $6,000). Their consultant (Drew) was so knowledgeable about basements and really helped us make smarter choices. I only wish they did kitchens too! Thanks Matrix!

**★★★★★ — Christina Dowen, June 2017**

> I was very impressed with the quality and timeline of completion with this company.  But what really impressed me was that 16 months later, when we had a plumbing problem, this company came out and fixed the problem for no charge.  This is a first class company that stands behind their products and installation.

**★★★★★ — jmcguire51, April 2017**

> My family and I love this basement remodel that Matrix did for us! Andy our designer was very helpful and planned...discussed...and designed and answered all questions for about 3 hrs on the initial consultation with no obligation to buy. He answered all of our questions and we had decided to go with Matrix for our basement finishing needs. Started the consultation in December 2016....financing was handled with him minus the deposit I gave that was not due until the start of the project.
>
> Now January 2017...CAD plans sent to us and we sent back...made changes...2 wks later new CAD design and we approved the job and work would be started approx March 10th 2017.
>
> Much to our surprise they were able to start the project March 3rd and were completely done with a walk thru on March 31st.
>
> I want to thank Andrew our lead foreman (carpenter) in Macomb and his crew for the amazingly fast and perfect construction of the walls...base mouldings...crown mouldings...doors and opening up the stairwell with matching materials in all aspects of the main floor and upstairs. The idea was to continue the flow and materials from upstairs to downstairs. The craftmanship and speed of the work kept me in awe for days! Painting the ceiling and all the add ons were easily done and without  hestitation...communication was clear and he was always answering his texts as I rarely have any days off from work for the past 6 months and I wanted to have a say in the project (though my wife was great in relaying all changes and messages to the Matrix team).
>
> We decided to paint the trim,doors, walls, and stain the stair rails etc and though it turned out amazing I would rather have had them do that...lesson learned.
>
> Steve our genal contractor and project manager was very available and helpful in every way. I trusted the whole team and everything was done when they said it would be and we were amazed with the results...I will post pics soon and hope they reveal the pride of work and craftmanship of all aspects of the basement finishing process.
>
> Pat and your team of electricians...very fast to city codes (for any of the work as well) and my add ons for the home theater and the in wall speaker cable and placement of the outlets for the home theater was spot on and I was extremely impressed with the work and professionalism!
>
> The email communications from the CAD team...the designer...working around my schedule and the rest of the Matrix team were great and fast and I instantly trusted this company with the amt of money I was willing to spend etc.
>
> Hope this review helps...We will have an open house soon and pics to follow.
>
> Did I mention...its 100% non organic...mold...mildew and water proof ( the walls have a 50 yr warranty) and 500 times stronger then drywall! (Like the website states).

> I just completed my basement project with Matrix.  I love the result and the team was great to work with.  From the initial consultation and quote, through final planning stages and the completion of the project.  All of the contractors were professional, courteous, and FAST!  The workmanship and finished product is better than I could have imagined.  Thank you Greg, Brian and Ricky and all of the contractors who worked on this job

**★★★★★ — Lisa & Mitch P, March 2017**

> Note: This review is from the onsite project perspective.
>
> The guys at Matrix estimated a 3-4 week timeframe to finish our basement. They were pretty much spot on, with the project lasting 4 weeks. Everyone we had dealt with were both professional and very friendly. Rodrigo and Antonio were onsite the entire process, and their craftsmanship was more than I expected. I kept throwing little things here and there (i.e. - last minute requests to make cut outs in the wall for in wall speakers, adding drywall to the ceiling so I can install in-ceiling speakers, and custom build a shelf for the center channel in my home theater...to name a few).
>
> These guys grinded it out day in, and day out during the project. They handled last minute changes like pros, and were able to adjust on the fly. Ricky, the field manager, checked in from time to time to see how everything was going, and made sure we were happy with the build.
>
> Needless to say, when they were done, our basement looked fantastic, and we were left incredibly happy with the end result!

**★★★★★ — Aku-Sika Frimpong, Dec. 2016**

> My husband and I are extremely pleased with the way our basement turned out. As promised, the crew was in and out by the time specified.   It is amazing how everything was organized by Matrix and we didn't have to bring in different contractors for each item. We love showing spending quality family time in our basement and everyone who has seen it is just in love with it. Thanks Matrix. You promised and you delivered!

**★★★★★ — jgupana, Oct. 2016**

> The process from start to finish was seamless. Brian W. (project manager) was awesome. His attention to detail and his vision really came to life at the end of the project. We give high praise to Victor and Daniel (carpenters) for all their hard work in our 18 week project. Not only was their work clean and impeccable, they were incredibly kind and respectful. The personnel assigned to our project were very accessible and kept us up to date every step of the way. I would highly recommend this company for your future basement project!

**★★★★ — HU-636094, Sept. 2016**

> Primary focus prior to start of the basement project was timely completion and quality workmanship.  Matrix Basement scores extremely high in both areas.  The project was completed ahead of schedule and the quality of workmanship is excellent.

**★★★★★ — W Dahl, Aug. 2016**

> We wanted to have our unfinished basement transformed into a space that would maximize our space and provide an area for our kids to play. We saw an ad on the local clipper and then did some research on the company and product. The bid was a bit higher than some other companies we had do a bid, but less than 10% higher and the product quality more than makes up for the difference.
>
> The process went longer than originally quoted after signing the bid, but this is to be expected when it comes to remodels. We also made a few changes to the project as it went on and that added a couple days or so. Everyone we dealt with was respectful and knowledgeable and the basement turned out excellent. After the project was complete, it took a while to have the final re-touches completed - but the basement was completely functional so it was not a huge deal.
>
> I would absolutely recommend Matrix to remodel your basement.

**★★★★★ — Jesse Dionesotes, Aug. 2016**

> We hired Matrix to finish half of our basement to serve as an extra media/entertainment hub in the house, as well as an additional gathering space for large groups of people. The process, start to finish, was great. Our lead carpenter, Don, was very attentive to our needs/wants, as well as to the details of the project. His team was prompt, respectful, hard working, and friendly. There are so many parts of the basement we love, from the open floor plan, to the quality products and craftsmanship, to the dry bar we added on a whim, at the last second (this didn't throw the team at all, they heard everything the we were hoping for, and made it into reality). I would highly recommend Matrix to friends and family, and in fact, already have several times over.

**★★★★★ — tnkgirl, July 2016**

> Matrix did excellent work. Ricky our project manager was accommodating, attentive and very nice to work with. They were timely, easy to work with and we are thrilled with the results. We would highly recommend Matrix basement systems to anyone looking for a quality basement finish!

**★★★★★ — sitzer5, July 2016**

> We are very satisfied with the approximate 800 sf of finished basement that Matrix Basement Systems designed and built for us.  The crews were very talented and professional.  Brian W. was great at throwing out different options during the design phase.  He also helped us work around a tricky water meter in our main space.  The wall system is very solid and has a great finish.  The carpentry team of Matt, Mark, and Bill did excellent work.  Tom, the HVAC guy, was great at figuring out how to design the new vents depending on layout.  John, the electrician, was so great at determining future needs for outlets, Internet jacks, etc, so we will have exactly what we need.  Raphael, the plumber, worked very efficiently at roughing in our plumbing for a future bathroom and wet bar.  The delivery team if Joe and Keith were so friendly and quick.  Matrix was great at making sure we were to code on all areas, and the painted ceiling looks very cool and modern.  The crews cleaned up the area nightly, and I was always kept informed on where things were.  Initially, we were held up by permits, but once Matrix got the green light, the crews really knocked the project out!

**★★★★★ — tjamieso2, July 2016**

> We are very happy with our Matrix Basement. We had a project that had very specific needs and the team was able to make these.  When we had questions or concerns, they were addressed quickly and no push back from Matrix.  I would recommend using them for your basement.

**★★★★★ — thecalientekid, April 2016**

> We've waited a while after our basement project was completed to post this review.  We did that in order to give a better assessment not only of Matrix's installment practices, but also to get a sense of the product once it's been lived in for a while.
>
> We enlisted Matrix to undertake a sizeable and complex turnkey basement project a little over a year ago.  the project entailed converting a semi-finished basement into a fully-finished basement complete with guest bedroom (with new egress window), entertainment room, recreation room, full bathroom, and kitchenette.  Yes, lots of details and lots of square footage.  Matrix supplied nearly everything for the project EXCEPT the following:  shower and floor tile in bathroom (bought that stuff at Floor & Decor); bathroom vanity and mirror; and closet and pantry shelving.
>
> The work was very solid and the construction crew was courteous, tidy (as far as projects of this kind go), and efficient, as were the handful of contractors that worked with Matrix (plumber, electrician, floorer, painter).  That said, the crew chief could be a bit pushy and brusque, but he would tone it down when reminded that we were, effectively, his boss.  best to remember that YOU are the customer, and not the other way around.  As it was, our sales rep made sure that we were content all the way through the process, even when that meant interceding on our behalf with the Matrix crew chief.
>
> I have no complaints about the quality of the components or the construction.  This outfit really handles the details well.
>
> Hangups?  A couple of minor ones.  First, Matrix was right to suggest, in light of some low-hanging duct work, we go with a black ceiling.  (If you don't know what that is, check with Matrix and they'll show you.)  Great idea, but imperfect delivery.  While the concept is excellent, the primer/paint combo they use (which isn't cheap stuff, by the way) does not hold very well to certain pipes, especially exposed copper pipes, and pipe insulation.  As a consequence, we found that the black ceiling paint was, and still is, flaking and falling off of a handful of pipes along the ceiling.  There are alternatives to painting these items, so if I were you, I'd check with Matrix, so that you and they can learn from our lesson.  Other than that, we've discovered a very small amount of tile separation between the bathroom shower wall and floor (both tile).  We'll check with Matrix shortly to see if they can patch that up . . . probably just a quick grout patch job along the corner.
>
> Our account rep, Brian, was great with us, as were all of the other contacts at Matrix.  Professional, and almost always right back to us to respond to a call or email.
>
> Now that we've had several months to "live" in our basement (so to speak), and can say that I am very pleased with our decision to finish the basement and to use Matrix.
>
> Maybe you could find a lower-cost alternative to Matrix, but I doubt that you'll find a more professional outfit dedicated to delivering the basement product you want in a timely fashion, using quality materials, and deploying as skilled and experienced a set of installers as were assigned.
>
> One last bit for readers of this review:  I cannot stress enough that ours was a large and complex project, even tricky in some respects.  Matrix had estimated a certain, relatively ambitious, project completion date that Matrix did not hit.  No big deal for us, but I think all consumers should keep in mind that nearly every home improvement contractor -- at least the ones I've used over the years -- will be a little bit too optimistic in its targeted delivery date.  I cannot speak to simpler projects, but I would guess that for a more "plain vanilla" project than ours, the Matrix guys have a good handle as to project time frames.
>
> If you're in the market, go check out a Matrix basement open house in your area like we did.  I think it's a good way to size up the quality of the product, as well as one of many sources of ideas about how to configure or re-configure your basement.

> My wife saw a ad for matrix. I researched basement remodeling & construction on the internet and found what I wanted. Matrix had a waterproof system with excellent insulation qualities so the choice to use them was a " no-brainer". Matrix designed the remodel including hvac,wiring,and most importantly all  city permits. I was able to save some money by personally installing the flooring and painting the basement. the job was finished on time with no  problems.

**★★★★ — Cyd Martin, Feb. 2016**

> I liked Brian's patience and willingness to listen to my ideas. We worked together and came up with a design that our family desired. Victor the crew leader was very professional and we communicated daily on the progress of our basement project. We are extremely satisfied. The work Victor and Daniel completed exceeded far beyond our expectations.They are very meticulous and treated our basement like it was their own. They were always on time and cleaned up daily. I don't have a favorite part of the basement because I love it all. The finished product is everything we wanted and I recommend Matrix to anyone planning on finishing their basement.

**★★★★★ — dwhh, Feb. 2016**

> My wife and I are very pleased with Matrix after the completion of our renovated basement. All the staff and workers were friendly, were good communicators, and were responsive in answering our questions. The two main workers, Mark and Marshall treated our renovation as if it were their own home. However, all the workers including the electricians, painters, and plumbers were very skilled and conscientious. I would recommend Matrix to anybody looking for a great basement makeover.

**★★★★ — Christopher R., Jan. 2016**

> I waited 6 months after completion of work to post this. I wanted to be sure that I did not have any outstanding concerns or issues after posting any review. Overall the basement installation was good. I think it is important (and this applies to any contractor) that as a homeowner you pay attention to detail. If something is not done correctly or is missing, you need to get right on it. We did have several cases where something wasn't right and we asked to have some work be redone. The project took a little longer than expected, mostly due to some days lost redoing some work or waiting for materials. As questions and issues came up I was able to work with the Project Manager and onsite workers. After the installation was complete, we had 2 instances that I needed addressing. Matrix arranged to have someone make the repairs in a timely manner. I am pleased that Matrix really does stand behind their work. If you are concerned with your long term investment in your basement, I would definitely recommend Matrix Basement Systems.

> We are so pleased with our new basement living space created by Matrix Basement Systems.  From the beginning when Joe D and Keith helped me clean out 40 years of stuff, to Peter's carpentry crew of Andy, Johaness and the outstanding trim man, to Juan who dug our escape window, to the wonderful painters everything was perfect.  All of the workers showed up very early in the morning and worked hard, long and steady all day long.  They took great pride in their work as if it were their own home. Their work was professional and neat.  Brian B. was an awesome project manager keeping tabs on every step.  He always returned calls, emails and sometimes just came to check up on the job.  I went with Matrix  because I liked the fact that everything is made in the USA and they only specialize in basements.  I know when we go to sell our home the basement will be a major selling point.  For now we will enjoy our new space.  Thank you, Matrix!!

> Working in a service industry I know when to recommend a good service or product. In this case I must recommend Mateix Basement Systems as a great product.  We had a truly amazing experience from sales, to project manager to the GC and crew.  They did an amazing job of balance of giving recommendations as well as accepting.  They truly are open and wanting to deliver to you not just a basement but an experience delivering everything you wanted and more.   The two biggest things I appreciated was the partnership /availability of everyone at Matrix which made any decisions or questions easy and the quality of the work.  We had a complex job with high expectations and they far exceeded it. The team and workmanship was world class and I would recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★ — Kristine, Nov. 2015**

> Matrix Basements did a great job with our complete basement remodel.  We were able to custom pick every thing from flooring, moulding and paint and we were also able to refinish our fireplace.  Our project manager, Brian Westrom, was on the same page with us design and decision wise from the beginning.  Our construction team was hard working and professional.  The painters were also awesome at what they do and finished the work very quickly.  When we ran into any issues we were always able to resolve the problems in a professional manner and communication was generally quite good across all of the teams we had in our house.  Overall a good experience and the basement looks great!  Looking forward to a dry, mold free basement for years to come.

Our installers, Mike and Jesse are true artisans who communicated with us throughout the project ensuring we were pleased with the work and progress.  Although we added to the project, they still completed on time. Jon and his team went the extra step to bring our existing electrical up to current code.  The expertise and efficiency of Raphael and the plumbers quickly resolved pre-existing issues.  Even the warehouse staff, delivery team, and cleanup team were a pleasure to work with.  The Matrix team led by Brian has provided us with a beautiful, multi-functional living space that greatly exceeded our expectations.

**★★ — bandr08, Nov. 2015**

> Matrix performed the work quickly, in half the time that was quoted, but it took several more weeks for work to be corrected and brought up to the standard of quality that was promised. Brian was very polite and visited several times after work was "completed" to make sure we were happy and all items were corrected.

**★★★★★ — Susan McKeege, Oct. 2015**

> I was nervous about the project, due to the horrible experience we had while building the house.  However, Matrix made the entire experience fun, easy, and enjoyable on us.  The finished product is amazing, and we could not imagine having it done any other way.  The product is great, and we feel better about knowing that if any floods or water damage happen we wont be replacing any walls in our basement.

> We just got ou basement finished 2 months ago and the quality and service was amazing! A month after we had it finished we had a flood from the sump breaking and couldn't be happier that we picked Matrix! The walls were fine and we didn't have to rip anything out or redo the walls. It saved us a lot of money and still have a beautiful finished basement!

**★★★★★ — wesleyp87906, Sept. 2015**

> We just finished our basement project and could not be happier. We live in an older home in Royal Oak and had matrix demo the old basement and build a new space for our kids. We did not do anything fancy, but a big open room, but now all the kids toys can go into the basement and we do not have to see them upstairs anymore! Andy and the carpenters were great. Justin was our project manager and helped us with any questions we had. The project took about 5 weeks and i give the guys a lot of credit for getting the place looking great again. It was a dark dingy basement before and now it feels clean and safe for our kids to play.

**★★ — aowens08, Sept. 2015**

> We had about 850sqft of our basement completed by Matrix in June 2015.  The project started on time and was completed on time as well.  The carpenters cleaned up at the end of each day and we are mostly pleased with the finished product.
>
> The two-star rating stems from the lack of communication between each person in this project.  Our Project Manager came out to our house two times (the initial visit and the final inspection) and was over 1 1/2 hours late each time.  He was completely rude and unapologetic.  That attitude did not improve throughout the project.  The Project Manager never once reached out to us - I had to call for updates and schedule my own final inspection.  There were several times that the wrong product was delivered due to a miscommunication between our carpenters and this Project Manager.  When we did speak to our PM, he was condescending and insulting.
>
> Our only construction-related issue was the design of a "custom" bookshelf that we paid for.  There was nothing custom about it; it looked like something that could've been purchased at Wal-Mart.
>
> When we reached out to one of the owners/co-founders of Matrix, we were pretty much dismissed, his only concern being what kind of feedback/reviews I give this company.  So my review is this - the quality is good, the price for some items is waaaaaaaay over-priced (bathroom, which we did not opt to do), and the communication/customer service is terrible.  Matrix is mainly concerned with signing up as many people as possible and churning out the product (to the chagrin of their over-scheduled workers).  I would not recommend this company to anyone, at least not under it's current direction/leadership.

**★ — Katrina Wagner, Sept. 2015**

> We used their Livonia, MI office and in 5 months of time, not a single part of our basement finishing job is complete but they've been paid 60% of the money. The initial paint job was very bad and the attempted fix to the paint job lasted four days and they wouldn't come back to finish.  They gave us excuse after excuse, project managers communicate by the occasional text message only in response to our reaching out.  They have not met a single deadline they've given us.  A representative demanded we remove a review on another site and when we refused, offered to give us $200 in gift certificates.  I wish I never met them.  My basement is a mess, nothing is finished and I have to now go hire other professionals to fix and finish what Matrix attempted to do.  BUYER BE AWARE.

**★★★★ — tinaena, Aug. 2015**

> The finished product is beautiful! My 1970's outdated basement is now gorgeous! Oscar, our main installer was wonderful to work with;he is a great craftsman, personable,hardworking, and very conscientious. He cleaned up the work space nightly and took care of minor imperfections promptly. Having that said, there are some things to keep in mind. First off, please allow more than the advertised 1 1/2 hours for your initial consultation and note that if you sign on the spot, Matrix offers a slightly discounted price. If you prefer to have several estimates before starting a project,you might want to save Matrix for last to take advantage of the discount. Secondly, allow for some extra time for the project itself. The timing (and communication about it) of subcontracted work was sometimes delayed...windows didn't come in, flooring guy didn't show, etc. If you have had construction on your house before, I am sure you have experienced this. In the end though, Matrix did a wonderful job and I am EXTREMELY pleased.

**★★★★★ — mmjjbonner, July 2015**

> We had Matrix Basement Systems finish our basement.  Matrix was professional from the marketing of their product to the completion of the project.  The on site workers were courteous and friendly.  The work was completed on schedule, during each phase of the construction.  A few minor issues that arose were resolved quickly by Matrix.  Upon completion of the project,  all project materials were removed.  The project was not disruptive to our household at all.  Matrix is not inexpensive, but we saw the value in their product and were willing to pay for a quality product that is guaranteed by a lengthy transferable warranty.  Overall,  we had an enjoyable experience having Matrix finish our basement.

**★★★★★ — hfc0219, July 2015**

> Just completed basement remodel. Project planning and cost estimates were spot on... no surprises. Communications during project was excellent with project manager and work crew. Very impressed with quality of work! Crew was very neat and attention detail was evident. Every day they cleaned up the work site and there was no disruption to the upstairs.

**★★★★★ — Cynde George, June 2015**

> We obtained several proposals for finishing our basement from various local contractors. After visiting a couple of Matrix Basement open houses, where we could see an actual representation of their product and workmanship and hear from the homeowners about their experience with Matrix, we also asked for a proposal from them. We are glad we did. I think we ended up with a beautiful, functional basement with a guarantee that we can pass on to the next owner of our home.
>
> The basement finishing project started off a little bumpy. The original project leader had issues that kept him from showing up on a regular basis, and there were also issues with the quality of his work, but Brian, one of the company's owners, came out immediately, assigned a new crew to the job and it was smooth sailing from then on. Peter, the new crew leader, and his guys worked from 7am until 5 or 6pm every day. They protected the parts of the basement that weren't being finished from any dust created during construction. They demo'd the previous sub-perfect work and then proceeded to do flawless work in creating the space we desired.  In the end, we ended up with a BEAUTIFUL, HIGH QUALITY JOB.
>
> All throughout the process, Mike (who did the original sales presentation and proposal) and Brian (the owner) were involved and communicated with us to ensure things were on track and up to par. The job took a little longer than originally anticipated, but it was worth it. Friends who have seen the transformation have been very complimentary.
>
> We are fortunate to have a second stairway/entrance to the basement through the garage. We felt very comfortable with Peter and his crew, and gave him a code to open the garage. That way they could get to work every morning without having to bother us. We both actually left town on business trips twice, and allowed the guys to keep working while we were gone.
>
> We were very pleased with the two electricians who did the wiring, and also the HVAC guys who moved and reconfigured some ductwork to keep the ceilings high. They were all very knowledgable and conscientious.
>
> Overall, we are very pleased with the final product and all those at Matrix who worked to get the job done. My friends and family will confirm that I am very picky and detail-oriented and also very honest. I'm not sure what the deal is with some of these negative reviews. I would and do recommend Matrix Basement Systems without hesitation.

**★★★★★ — Mike Anania, June 2015**

> We are very satisfied with the work Matrix Basements did for our basement remodel. At the initial presentation meeting we put together a plan that we later decided was a bit more expensive than we wanted to go. Matrix was completely on board with us adjusting the plan to fit in our budget. All of the Matrix personnel we dealt with were professional and easy to work with. We were especially happy with the carpentry work that Joe and Louis did, they were the crew that completed most of our job. Joe was great about pointing out a few minor changes to make as the job progressed. We would definitely recommend giving Matrix a call if you’re considering a basement finishing.

**★★★★★ — R Engeltjes, April 2015**

> We hired Matrix to do just our basement walls.  The architect was VERY helpful, walking us through some DIY tips when working with their basement system that is different than the typical stud and drywall walls.  The construction crew and finishing crews were respectful, efficient, and finished earlier than the estimated time frame.   We are very happy with the product and the service.

**★★★★★ — bsadek, April 2015**

> Matrix designed and built out our complete basement interior.  This was a 1100 square foot project with 3 room enclosures for utilities (furnace and sump pump) and storage, a wet bar with sink and refrigerator, and a full bathroom (shower, toilet and sink).  The ceiling is dropped with Matrix product tiles, and the flooring is simulated wood .  The Matrix wall system of prefabricated panels is a winner and was what initially interested us in considering using the company.  It provides a very smooth, uniformly flat finish much more attractive than drywall finishes, which always some wave to them.  The schedule was not only met, but exceeded -- Matrix scheduled the work to take 8 weeks, and it was 7-1/2 from start to finish, and that included one week delay for a plumbing and electrical inspection.  This was not your typical construction job with delays and excuses, but a steady, delivery on time, and very polite group of workers.  They were always punctual and were always courteous and careful to be as clean and neat as possible.  They cleaned up every day, just as promised and left a complete, working jobsite.  I would recommend the Matrix solution to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Christian Banach, April 2015**

> Matrix did fantastic work in finishing our basement. The entire team was professional and reliable during the entire process. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Matrix responded promptly and attentively. I highly recommend them for your next home improvement project.

**★★★★★ — rocko106, April 2015**

> Matrix Basement was very helpful throughout the entire project. Any questions I had during the project were quickly addressed. The install crew was extremely helpful as well. They were very accommodating to my schedule and finished about a week early. The installer put in time to make sure the job got done ahead a schedule. The entire staff at Matrix did a great job of always keeping me informed of each step of the install.

**★★★★★ — decorate2014165, March 2015**

> Highly recommend wall system.  Carpenters were professional, respectful and did a beautiful job.  Job was completed in the time frame given - 5 weeks.

**★★★★★ — camhomebeaz, March 2015**

> Sales rep was informative, helped us to make the right decisions for our needs and budget.
> Work crews (Joe Krause/Rich Brewer)  were respectful of our property and time.
> High quality workmanship in all areas (installation/electrical/plumbing) of the project.
> Project took longer than expected, but worth the wait.
> Project manager Brian W. clearly explained all the details prior to and at completion of the project.

**★★★★★ — jamarh, March 2015**

> Each person I came in contact with were approachable, personable, and professional.  There were definitely some hiccups along the way with communication and delays, but we worked through them.  In the end, the craftsmanship is really good and we are very pleased with the finished product.

**★★★★★ — vipergtsrz, March 2015**

> I got my basement finished with Matrix Basement Systems in early 2015. They worked much faster than I thought it was going to take. Every other quote I got was for more than Matrix quoted me and they were going to take at least 8 weeks, while Matrix only took 2 weeks from start to finish.
>
> The basement looks great and I feel I got a really great quality product for my money.

**★★★★★ — kimlogan0831, March 2015**

> We initially found out about Matix from the open houses that they have around town. We went to an open house and went ahead and made an appointment for the sales person to come to our home to take a look at our unfinished basement and see what magic we could make. We knew right away that it would cost us a bit more to have the high level quality materials that Matrix is known for but we also could clearly see that it would be well worth it.
> The workers did such a good job keeping the basement as clean as possible during the construction. What we were most appreciative of is that there were no surprises and the price never changed.
> The quality of our basement is above all! The insulation system is unreal as the basement is warmer than the rest of our house even with the heat vents closed! We are also very pleased with the lack of noise that comes up from the basement.
> Great company, great workers, great quality=happy customers.

**★★★★★ — jamarh, March 2015**

> Despite a few small hiccups we are satisfied with the work that was done. Our basement is beautiful. We've gotten so many great compliments.

**★★★★ — phberghoff, Feb. 2015**

> We hired Matrix to finish our substantial sized basement after having 5 floods in 6 years. My husband handled all of the planning meetings which took the amount of time I expected it would. Home construction or remodeling never happens as quickly as you'd like it to.
> We started with Matrix in mid-October and with the exception of the punch list, are finished. Like I said, our basement is expansive. Victor and Daniel were great to have around! They were for the most part, timely, and very communicative about what we could expect. In fact, everyone who we dealt with from Matrix were very respectful. Nice to have in our house.
> As far as cost goes, Matrix will not be the cheapest basement system you will find, but in the long run, I am quite sure the investment will be worth it. And, it is a quality, beautiful product!

**★★★★★ — tmueller69, Feb. 2015**

> We hired Matrix after meeting with one of their sales people, Timo.  We also like the idea of a mold resistant wall system for our basement, and their ability to start very quick on our project as well.
>
> All the vendors matrix used were always very courteous and on time.  We particularly loved the work the electricians and plumbers and HVACS teams did with their work, and all their good advice as well.  Matrix let us take on projects we thought we could handle as well to save us some money on the project costs.
>
> Overall we were very satisfied with the work done, and are just starting to enjoy our new basement.

**★★★★ — mmeler, Feb. 2015**

> They have an innovative product that provides great insulation and finish. They gave me a tour of the company and found a very collegial and friendly working environment. They are very flexible with their product, from DIY to the most detailed worry-free finishings. The work was completed in about 10 weeks from start to finish. They give you a contact for your project who is always responsible and problem solving. Before completion they do a walk through that found many more touch-up issues that we did. Shows commitment for satisfaction and excellence. The only issues were with contractors as they were not always on time and they could have been more tidy.

**★★★★★ — donasol, Jan. 2015**

> After going to a Matrix open house in our subdivision, my husband and I decided we liked what we saw and signed up for the free consultation and estimate.
> The fact that the panels  were mold and waterproof was the deciding factor in having Matrix finish our basement.
> Everyone that we came in contact with through the company were polite and very knowledgeable.
> The carpenters and electricians were courteous and very punctual, and definitely knew their craft.
> I would not have any qualms recommending Matrix to anyone thinking about finishing their basement.

**★★★★ — Kelly Clarke, Jan. 2015**

> Matrix Basement Systems made finishing our basement easy.  We had a consultative appointment with a designer who met with us to understand our needs, and made suggestions on our layout and design.   When the work began, the builders where polite and keep our upstairs clean.     They keep us updated on their progress, and answered/addressed all our concerns.    We also coordinated painting through the Matrix.   They did a consult on color, and the painter was great to work with.    Very little stress, and now we have a great basement!

**★★★ — Cat, Jan. 2015**

> The product met our expectations for our small 700 square foot basement project and our experience with Matrix was satisfactory overall.

**★★★★★ — smik67, Jan. 2015**

> We finished our basement couple months ago.  They were helpful from day one with design and review  through delivery (clean and professional) to building (professional workmanship).  Good communication throught the project and they addressed any concerns or complaints I had, when they arise, promptly.  Excellent product and met my expectations.  Highly recommended.

**★★★★★ — lmayo311, Dec. 2014**

> We finished a portion of our basement creating a large family room, a pantry and a HUGE walk in closet.  I absolutely LOVE it!  Other than having to walk down the stairs, one would NEVER know this was a basement!

**★★★★★ — janeteusebio, Dec. 2014**

> Great quality work, good communication with the crew Don and Adrienne.  Don was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  Matrix staff was nice to work with also.

**★★★★★ — Ed Peters, Oct. 2014**

> We recently had our basement finished by Matrix Basement Systems, Inc.  We have a fairly large basement - a bit more than 1200 square feet.  The area was finished to divide off two storage areas, one under the steps, and one at the rear of the overall basement, a full bath with shower, and a large room for entertaining or relaxing.  They were very professional in all of their ativities.  A small closet was created to enclose the sump pump and the electrical panel is hidden behind a very nice wooden wall mounted door.  Material were delivered appropriate for each phase of the project.  They took care to keep the work area clean and accessible.  Their workers were consciencious, reliable, responsible, and quite friendly.  Our boxer served as the project foreman and the crew interacted well with him.  We recomment Matrix for your future finishing work.

**★★★★ — uofmte83, Sept. 2014**

> We had a big empty unfinished basement, at least 2,300 sq ft of dead space. Matrix came along and took our ideas we had for the space and designed exactly what we had in mind for the space. They had professional architectural drawing for basement and turned the basement into a comfortable, livable space  (theater area, bathroom, exercise room).  We are so excited to entertain in our new space.

**★★★★ — enierman, Sept. 2014**

> Matrix Basement Systems did a great job on our basement. The results are aesthetically amazing, and the building material's resistance to mold eases worries about possible flooding down the road. They took care of the carpentry, electrical, and plumbing for us, and everyone they sent to our home was professional, on time, neat, and very polite. Communication with the project manager and office staff was very strong at the beginning of the project, but we had a hard time getting in touch with the administration a few times near the completion of the project. While it is understandable that they are very busy (it's a great system and product), communication with the home owner is essential. When I spoke with our project manager about this issue, he assured me that they are working on it. I believe that they are, as the owners seem to be very hands on and involved. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and glad that we went with Matrix. The finished basement exceeds my expectations of what a basement can be and is more like a continuation of the rest of our house.

**★★★★ — Merrill Gad, April 2014**

> While things started out rocky, Brian and Anthony came out and worked through any problems in person. Appreciate their efforts and customer service.

**★★★ — User, Jan. 2014**

> The product looks good actually better than the average on the market but sales personal has not exactly the knowledge expected in order to close the sale properly. It would be better bring sales + architect + installer at the same sales meeting in order to get everything ready to sign the contract avoiding disappointments or hidden costs. In our specific case additional 7% of the total cost of our project so far because isn't finish yet So lets see how this is going to end. I hope the finish it properly with a high quality end.

**★★★★★ — bigtymefan, June 2013**

> Matrix Basement Systems is a top notch company.  I did a lot of research before hiring them to complete my basement, and they blew me away with their product and service.  The sales staff was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional.  Any time I had a question, there was always someone available to answer it, and they helped to ensure that we had a fantastic experience.  Now I have my dream basement to enjoy, and I sleep well at night knowing I have the 50 year warranty on my walls and they will never have to be replaced.

> Thanks Matrix!

**★★★★★ — jerryrottmann, June 2013**

> I had about a third of my basement, about 550 sq. ft., completed using the Matrix Basement System. This r-18 rated, water proof, mold proof, mildew proof system (4' by 8' panels) was perfect for protecting my investment. They also did my drop ceiling, all electrical, hvac work and installed the three doors we added. The total process took about 4 weeks. The work crew was very professional. They worked with me in coordinating the parts of this project that I had other contractors complete and made the whole experience very enjoyable. My completed basement blends in with the rest of my house. The insulated panels keeps the humidity down and the temperatures at the same level as my upstairs level. I love it.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Bathroom size** *(in Photo Questions)*

I wanna do a bathroom similar to this. I have 5ft by 7ft. My real concern is how much space do I need for pedestal sink and toilet. I would like to have a 3ft wide shower but not sure I would have enough space. If not would have to go with a 30in shower. Please advise your opinion. Thanks

A: This bathroom is around 8ft. x 6ft. Is your plumbing already roughed in? I believe that can dictate where you're able to place the toilet. You definitely want to make sure you have enough room to sit comfortably on the thrown without being right up against the sink, shower, or wall. I'll contact one our project managers and get back to you with a more detailed response. Thanks for the inquiry.

**Q: Wall Color** *(in Photo Questions)*

That is a beautiful shade of grey. Do you know the name of this particular grey?

A: Hi there! I found the color it is Sherwin-Williams 7065 Argos. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW7065-argos/\#/7065/?s=products&amp;p=PS0. Here is a link to it. Good luck!

**Q: Shower enclosure is beautiful** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you provide source of glass shower door and also the toilet

A: Thank you for the comment! I will look into this and get back to you! Thank you for your interest.
