HTR Basements

I had my townhouse basement renovated in June/July 2020, Dmitry was very quick to answer any and all questions I had. The quote I received was quite accurate and he provided me with several 3D designs until I decided on one that I was happy with. The work was completed within the timeframe that was laid out for me and all of the workers were polite, efficient and importantly for me, left the house clean whenever they left. I was very pleased with the materials, quality of work and quick timeframe they were able to finish in. My new basement looks fantastic, especially the stone wall and fireplace combo. Dmitry and Alex were very easy to work with and I'd happily recommend HTR Basements. I contacted the company 6 months later for some small touch ups and they came out quickly to fix things up. Thank you.

HTR Did Incredible Work, Alex and Dmitry did an amazing job on finishing our basement. Right from the quote all the way to applying the last coat of paint. They were timely, reliable and most importantly within our budget. We really enjoyed their attention to detail and any items that came up (which happens in every project) were addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. We look forward to working with them again if we need any more renovation work done. Thanks Alex! Thanks Dimtry!

Alex, Dmitry and their crews did a great job remodeling our basement and fully replacing the 2nd floor bathroom. When we shopped around for contractors they stood out with competitive pricing and timely communication. They were punctual and stayed on schedule and budget. They readily addressed any issues arising. It was overall a very positive experience and we would most definitely hire them again and would highly recommend them.

I would just like to tell anyone new to home renovations to be calm and allow the process. I was filled with anxiety and chirped constantly, Be patient and allow the process to happen. Wonderful work and thank you for making my dreams come true. Thank you to the whole team for patience and a work of art.

I would recommend HTR Basements. From the quoting phase to the project execution, HTR Basements was responsive and clear about the work being done, the costing and the payment schedule. All the contractors were respectful of us and our home. Our basement finishing project was completed on time and on budget. We are very happy with the end result. Thank you HTR Basements!

There is only one way to convey our experience with HTR in this review, and that is by saying THANK YOU! From the first introduction to the project conclusion, HTR delivered on punctuality, professionalism, cleanliness and expectation. We were given a calendar and HTR stuck to it with no delays, surprises or disappointment. Every trade that Alex sends to your home is a ‘master’ in their craft and you can see that in their work. From the first introduction to Alex as the project manager and overseer, we knew we were in good hands with his support and quick responses to our questions. A big shout out to Dmitry, who helped us design and plan the space and for putting the personal touch on hand made walnut shelving! We truly had a 10 / 10 experience with our basement renovation and want to thank Alex and Dmitry and the entire team at HTR for bringing our dream basement to life. Tony and Natasha

Over Winter 2019/2020 we were considering renovating our basement to have more usable space and better access to our laundry room. We contacted many vendors to get quotes and discuss the project. After extensive review we felt most comfortable proceeding with HTR, even in light of COVID-19, when only residential could resume later in the Spring/Summer. Dmitry was very easy to contact and deal with from the get go. Alex handled the project well and all the trades people were professional and extremely quick... impressively quick, actually! Sometimes the speed that they work at could cause a small item to be missed, but Alex was able to coordinate fixing anything quickly afterwards. Having a detailed walkthrough of the program with Alex before the project and after spending lots of time discussing with Dmitry could relieve these small missteps, but this could also have been due to COVID-19 and comfort levels at the restart spending much time together. All-in-all we are very happy with our basement and we would highly recommend HTR to be considered for renovation needs! Thank you again for bringing our basement to life and providing us such a nice space to use for the foreseeable future!

Our basement was finished by HTR three years ago. It was completed on time, within budget and to the agreed specs. Alex's hardworking and professional crew did a good job. The reason for my posting at this time is to commend Alex for his follow up service. The issues that cropped up after completion, including clearing a blocked shower this month, were taken care of without any fuss.

Wonderful experience. Dmitry, Alex and their team were great to work with. The project was well planned, detailed and executed on time and on budget. Quality workmanship, all workers were polite and respectful of our home. Thanks for our great new basement. We love our new family space!

HTR Basements handled the basement finishing aspect of our renovation. And while our basement was small there were aspects of it that were certainly not simple. HTR provided us with an impressive 3d rendering of what our basement would look like well in advance of our start date, this required immense creativity because at the time our basement wasn't even underpinned (looked like a troll's dungeon). During the project, everything was smooth -- all the various trades people were pleasant, efficient and very hardworking. They finished in accordance with an online schedule that listed start and end dates for each trade. Their price was inline with my expectations (some of the prices I received from other companies were absolutely ridiculous for a basement of my size). Happy we hired HTR Basements - you will be too. Highly recommended. I will be hiring HTR for future projects around my home!

After reaching out to 5 highly rated contractors to finish our basement we chose HTR Basements for the following reasons: 1) While others ball parked costs and provided general layout suggestions, Dimitri from HTR confidently provided a detailed, itemized breakdown and layout. Other companies ensured they could come in at a lower cost however when pushed to itemize the costs they came in over HTRs quote and couldn’t ensure the equivalent quality (ie nosing in stairs matching the flooring) 2) speed: while others estimated 5+ weeks HTR quickly set a schedule of 3 weeks and came in ahead of schedule. This is massive given the amount of dust and workers coming in and out daily not to mention the space taken by the bin in the driveway. 3) professionalism: the subcontractors were diligent, hard working and respectful. 4) quality: excellent 5) easy: HTR is a one stop shop where they provide samples of flooring, paint colours, finishes, vanities, etc etc. We simply chose what we liked and didn’t worry about the rest 6) excellent service: Alex and Dimitri were both amazing in corresponding with my wife and I and went the extra mile to ensure little things were taken care of. I can not recommend these guys highly enough. Trust me when I say a) I’m cheap and they came in at my budget b) I’m critical and the workmanship and service is second to none c) I’m lazy as anything and if I wrote all this out it’s because I feel passionately these guys are the best!

I have been meaning to get my basement finished for a few years now but have had difficulty finding the right Contractor to hire for the project. There are so many companies offering basement-finishing services but I had no idea how to choose one that was not just reasonable, but most importantly reliable and trustworthy. Handing over a large sum of money to someone you have never met before who promises to provide you with their service can be a very scary thing when you have no idea if they will be true to their word and will actually deliver on that promise. I have heard horror stories of contractors starting a job and then disappearing half way through, leaving their clients in a rubble of mess and scrambling to find someone else to complete the work. As a result, I need to ensure that I was hiring some who I could trust. HTR came fully recommended by my close friend whose basement they had renovated and who was happy with their service. I saw my friend’s finished product and was impressed with the quality of the work and I knew right away that I could trust them to complete a similar project for me. I was immediately impressed with the handsome young man who came to my house to complete the estimate. He listened to the vision that I had for the space, made his own recommendations and incorporated it all into the 3D design that he provided prior to the start of the project. Throughout the project he was pretty flexible with all the changes that I requested and promptly updated his 3D drawings to match the changes. I liked the 3D design because it helped me to have a direct visual of what the space would look like once finished. I also like the website they gave me that allowed me to track the progress of the work, and for the most part, they were right on track. What I liked most of all though was the fact that I felt totally at ease throughout the project. Apart from a couple miscommunications, everything ran smoothly and within my budget. Also, all the tradesmen and workers were respectful and professional and I had no concerns with giving them access to my home to complete their tasks while I was away at work. I am very happy with the end result and am fully enjoying the beautiful and comfortable extension of my home. I thank the entire team at HTR for making this such a positive experience. I would not hesitate to hire them again for any future project and I would recommend them to anyone I know who could use their service and expertise.
