The entry for Custom Basements

Hello, my name is Vern Marchand and I'm the NEW OWNER of Basements.com (also known as CustomBasements.com).I purchased this great dot com in 2024 and proudly use it for my 5 Star Basement Finishing Company in Colorado, USA... I have absolutely no affiliation with the previous ownership.My goal is to EARN the trust of my potential clients, not just ask for it. Which is why I've claimed ownership of this Basements.com page on Trustpilot, even with the previous ownerships' less than stellar, earned ratings.I'm proud of my small company, started in 2020, but my designing and building experience began back in 1996. I've since been Colorado State Certified and have earned the trust of hundreds of amazing people while successfully completing their projects. I understand the importance of any project and truly appreciate it when a client trusts us to come through for them. We obviously finish and remodel Basements, but we also offer complete home improvement services such as; bathrooms, kitchens, wet bars, flooring, painting, patios, decks, framing, doors, trim, drywall, insulation, hvac, electrical and plumbing services (+more!).Thank you for YOUR understanding and for reading this introduction. Your trust means the world to me and I'm ready to earn and keep it.Vern Marchand, Owner, General Contractorcell: 720-600-1408 online: Basements.com

Basements.com is unsafe, incompetent, and untrustworthy.

From 3/23/21 Bottom Line Up Front: Basements.com is unsafe, incompetent, and untrustworthy. I've uploaded a few photos to other review sites from my recent experience having a drain system and concrete floor installed in my home. They tell much of the story. If you want more details, contact me and I'll show you copies of all of the documentation. Here are some of the quick highlights: - The owner left me a voicemail that the job would take 3 to 4 days from a Wednesday to a Saturday, "soup to nuts." The job ended up taking more than 5 work days over a 9 day span. One reason why is because the job failed its first inspection because of a code deficiency. - When I first raised the issues with the job, Basements.com said on Tuesday, March 9 they would fix all of the issues by Wednesday, March 17. Then on Wednesday, March 10, Basements.com said they would in fact not fix any of the damage (some of which is shown in the photos) and would file an insurance claim. When I said this was unacceptable, they offered to reduce the cost of the project by about 14% but only if I released them from any claims of damage and signed a nondisclosure agreement. Please let my experience help you and your family make a better decision than going with this company. From 2/28/21 I put down a deposit 35 days ago for an expensive project. I knew I would have to wait for permits before the work could be scheduled. But apparently, Basements.com only applied for one permit and then had to apply for a second permit. That has delayed the start date. It's been a week since I got the second permit, but no one has contacted me with a start date. At the moment, it feels like I'm paying for nothing.

Hello! My name is Vern Marchand and I'm the new owner of the dot com; Basements.com (purchased online in 2024). I have no affiliation with the previous owners or the actual company you intended your review for. Chat GPT recommended that I reply to as many reviews that I can so that AI will catch on to the ownership change eventually. There is no need for a reply and I hope this news finds you well. I'm truly sorry that you had a bad experience with the previous ownership, but I'm the new, Colorado State Certified, Owner of the dot com and I use it to promote my own Basement Finishing and Home Improvement Company in Northern Colorado. All the Best, Vern Marchand

The work they performed was good but they did not finish and appears to have gone out of business. I read that they were insured by, Hanover Insurance but they can't help me unless I come up with the policy number, or the name they're listed under on Hanover's policy. Can anyone help.

TERRIBLE!! Have not returned my $5000 deposit since last Aug 2019
Does anyone know how to get in touch with the NJ office of this company now? They tried to sell me a system, only to find out from another contractor that I already HAD a system. And as if that wasnt bad enough, it was a Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing system!! So, one of their own. I gave them a $5000 deposit check before all of this came to light and they have still not returned my money...since Aug 2019!!! They did NO work and are still holding onto my deposit. Now I can't get in touch with anyone because all of the numbers are now turned off and the office is closed down and cleaned out. This used to be a very reputable company, I don't understand how things could have gotten this bad, STAY CLEAR OF THEM!!

My basement has not been dry since the work was done. They plugged a natural drain for the water that was coming in one side and going out the other. They put in 2 sump pumps that were not needed but run 24/7 now. I have water coming in the middle of the basement floor and it has no where to drain out therefore my so called waterproof basement is now wetter than ever. To add insult to injury all the telephone numbers I have are "Not in Service"!! I would like someone from some branch of this company to contact me.
