Bill was very thorough and > professional from start to finish. He sat down with us to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted and made great suggestions when we were uncertain. With a second child on the way, we were in a time crunch to get this project completed. The project was finished on time, within budget, and to the highest standard. We also appreciated how organized and clean he kept everything. Bill was in regular contact to make certain we were happy with each step of the project. We would highly recommend Quality First Home Improvement for home improvements/renovations and will certainly be using them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — redsoxfan126, Jan. 2014** > Remodeled an unfinished basement approx 1250 sq ft, created a family/play room, storage area with built in shelving and a 1/2 > bath. Installed plumbing, lighting with electric heat, new carpeted floor in family room with tile in bath. They did the framing of the > walls, insulation as well as drywall & taping. Installed suspended ceiling, all the finished trim(doors, window trim & baseboard) and > painted all the walls & trim. They went to the town for the building permits and passed all their inspections. > > After contacting several different remodeling and home improvement companies to get ideas and prices to finish my basement, I was getting discouraged. Some would make appointments and not show up. Most people showed up late. Besides that, they all insisted on finishing the basement with fiberglass insulation, which we didn't want. I contacted Bill at Quality First Home Improvement. He was actually a few minutes early for our appointment. He was very professional from the start. We were very impressed with the fact that he did not use traditional fiberglass insulation. We had a huge mold problem in a previous house and didn't want that problem again. He showed us proof that the fiberglass is NOT ok. This was exactly what we were looking for. He took several notes, made drawings, helped us to come up with a design we loved. He got back to us quickly with a very reasonable price. Bill, himself was at the job daily. He actually did more than 50% of the work. He is very meticulous. The job site was spotless every day after the work was completed. Any time we had a question, it was answered. The subs he used were also very professional. Everyone showed up on time. The job was completed before the finish date! We are extremely happy. We would definitely recommend Quality First Home Improvement. Our basement is beautiful! This company will be the one we call to remodel our bathroom this year! **★★★★★ — paytention, Jan. 2014** > Quality First totally renovated three bathrooms: (a) Removed old fixtures & tile and repaired wall & ceiling plaster; (b) Upgraded electrical and plumbing; (c) Installed new tile, fixtures, wiring, outlets & switches and fans; (d) Resurfaced (recolor) two bath tubs. The total cost of $7,500 included all labor and materials except tile, sinks and toilets which I purchased. > The work included tile, plumbing and electrical. Everything was done with first class quality. and the work was completed on time and on budget. Bill and his team did such a good job that we asked him back to do additional renovations to help prepare the house for sale, These included building a walk-in closet, installing new stair railings and miscellaneous repairs & upgrades. Again, we were extremely satisfied with the work and the affordable cost. We highly recommend Quality First for any type of construction or renovation. **★★★★★ — spatch66, Jan. 2014** > Highly Recommended! We have used Quality First for several projects...some big, some small. No matter the size or scope of the project their attention to detail was outstanding. Seldom does a companies name resemble its personality but with Quality First, they really do make QUALITY come FIRST. We look forward to using them again.. ## Selected projects - [Basements](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basements-pj-vj~411667) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-pj-vj~411675) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Other](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/other-pj-vj~411674) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~411671) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/quality-built-basements-llc-pfvwus-pf~881483833) ## Community Q&A **Q: TV placement** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi! We are in the midst of reno'ing our new house and are having the TV/fireplace focal point dilemma! The living room space isn't huge, so our options are limited. It's all open concept right into the dining area (where I'm standing to take the photo) so everything flows together. The wall on the left of the pic is 12 ft and backs onto the hallway to the bedrooms. it ends a foot or two after the pic. On the right, there are floor to ceiling windows and patio doors starting just outside the pic frame. (Pardon the old fridge.)That wall is approx 8ft and that's where the old owners had the tv. The fireplace wall is approx 12 ft as well, but note that the spaces on either side of the fireplace aren't equal. For furniture, we have a love seat and a full size couch, though we are not married to either piece (but nor do we have the budget to replace them right now). We were thinking of the big couch up against the right wall and the love seat facing the fireplace, hopefully far enough back that we wouldn't crank our neck if the tv was high. My inclination is to put the tv over the fireplace to keep the focal points aligned... But I'm afraid it'll be too high! Any ideas would be lovely :-) Thanks for your help!
