Blake and his team were incredibly professional and friendly through the process of finishing our small basement. Being no expert in finish work myself, it was nice to be able to defer to them and give them creative liberty to do what looked best for our particular situation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone serious about quality!

We had a wonderful experience working with Blake, Tim and their team members. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and they paid attention to every detail to make sure everything was done right.
They kept us updated on the timeline, and were patient with our questions and requests. Our basement home gym, bathrooms, kitchenette and living space turned out beautiful, and we are very happy with the final result.
We truly appreciate their hard work, honesty, and dedication to making sure we were satisfied. We would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled contractor.

Blake was easy to work with, always kind and attentive; and I would recommend anyone with any basement finishing needs give CCS a call; I will!!!
Thanks again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CCS and their crew was top notch. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the experience, from being so considerate and respectful of our home and family to exceeding expectations on our whole basement build out. The comfort we had during construction was all because of the people at CCS- it was worth every penny!  It was an incredibly smooth process and communication with them was seamless. I look forward to hiring CCS again for other home projects. I would recommend them over and over.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved working with the folks at CCS!  They made us comfortable from the start of the project to the end and the team was very communicative throughout the process.

We wanted our basement to match the finish throughout the rest of our house and they delivered, beating our expectations on quality and timing.  Steve, Tim, Blake and the rest of the team there are upfront, honest, hard-working guys and they put as much care into the project as if it were their own home.
