“…would highly recommend them for your basement.”

My husband and I just bought our first home and wanted to get our basement done. We debated contracting it ourselves to save money, but got a few quotes to see. Our basement is about 600 square feet, and all of our quotes came in around $45,000!! We then met Bo who quoted us about $17,000 less. Having just put all of our money in to the house we didn’t want to spend a lot more but also didn’t want to compromise quality. We signed with Bo and we are SO happy we did! Their framer did an amazing job and set up a great structure, and they brought many new ideas to our attention to make the best use of the space for what we wanted. Things moved very quickly and the people were great to work with. Anytime we texted them they would respond and any concerns we had were addressed immediately. They even came back to clean our storage room even though they did not need to, just to make sure we were happy with the end result. Now that it is all completed, we are very happy we went with them and would highly recommend them for your basement.

“The results were fantastic!”

I recently had ReImgaine Basements develop my basement in Aspen. The results were fantastic! My budget couldn’t accommodate all of the high-end features I wanted, but Bo worked hard with me to find cost effective solutions and I ended up with the result I wanted for thousands less than other companies were quoting me.

“Highly recommend if you are looking to finish your basement.”

My wife and I were finally able to build our dream home. The big problem we had was the builder was too expensive to finish our basement. We needed to get that completed as soon as possible as my wife uses it as a dayhome. After a few companies we met with Reimagine. They were the most professional, were able to give us a great price and meet our deadline. We could not be happier with the way everything turned out. They excised our expectations. Highly recommend if you are looking to finish your basement.

“Overall positive experience with Reimagine.”

We are thrilled with our new basement from Reimagine Builders. We interviewed 4 other builders prior to choosing Reimagine. Bo was awesome with helping us design our basement space and the price was reasonable. Throughout the build, the service was professional but personal – Josh and Peggy were very helpful! The final price and time to completion was accurate to the quote. The selection process for materials was easy and organized. Stylish standard options and quality workmanship. Overall positive experience with Reimagine. Thank you!

“I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a basement done.”

The guys at ReImagine just completed my basement. I was really impressed with the process. Everything from the planning, to the material selections to the work itself was very easy and smooth. The project took around a week longer than planned, but other than that I was perfectly happy with everything. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a basement done.

“I would definitely recommend using them!”

ReImagine Basements renovated my basement and I was very pleased with the results. They paid great attention to my every request, and always got back to me quickly when I called or emailed. The trades were very knowledgeable and respectful. I would definitely recommend using them!

“I would highly recommend Bo, Josh and the rest of the team from Reimagine builders!”

After talking to a number of renovation contractors, we hired Bo with Reimagine Builders to develop our unfinished basement. We are extremely happy with the final results. Bo was the only developer to see the potential in our basement, change the layout and make it the most functional it could be, and all on budget! Majority of the basement was done in a timely manor, all that took a little extra time and love were some final paint touches. Josh over saw the project and was easy to get a hold of, he always took care of answering any question or hiccup that came up. Throughout the whole process Bo and Josh paid great attention to our every request. I would highly recommend Bo, Josh and the rest of the team from Reimagine builders! Thanks guys, we love our basement !

“I would recommend ReImagine builders to anyone…”

We recently decided to finish our basement and got several quotes from basement development companies. ReImagine was very quick in getting the quote back to us and it was a competitive quote. They were also able to get us in their schedule to get the job done before Christmas. Bo was very helpful when designing the layout for the basement and had creative ideas to optimize the space.

Peggy and Josh were great communicators throughout the whole process and it led to a very stress free basement development. They were also able to complete the job in just over 8 weeks like promised. The tradespeople they employee did a professional job, were clean and respectful of our space.

I would recommend ReImagine builders to anyone planning to develop their basement!

ReImagine Basements – Custom Basement Development Company – Review by Nolly R.

“I believe Reimagine Builders is a professional, trusted and reliable basement developer so I recommend them.”

Reimagine Builders developed our basement which was completed 1 week ago. I’m very satisfied on the outcome on the project so I’m giving them 5 Stars or higher if possible. Our basement now looks like a small 2BR condominium unit.

I like on how Reimagine trust their Clients. They don’t require a deposit prior to starting the work and your first payment in only after the 1st inspection done by the City of Calgary. They are also attentive and responsive on any observations that you raise with them while the work is on-going. They also have 5 year warranty which I don’t expect to use as the quality of their Trades works appears great. Overall I believe Reimagine Builders is a professional, trusted and reliable basement developer so I recommend them.

“We recommend ReImagine without reservation and will use them again for future renovations.”

We recently finished a basement and built a detached garage with ReImagine and they exceeded our expectations from quote to completion.

ReImagine provided the skilled workers for each stage of the projects. We’re very happy with the work that was done and the price was fair for the work completed. Their quote was not the highest nor was it the lowest, but we feel we got the best contractor. The quote was the final price—except when we asked for upgrades and to add or subtract work that wasn’t in the original contract. All quotes, invoicing and receipts were done electronically which made keeping track of our expenses and billing very easy.

The finishes in the basement are beautiful and we have had comments about how good the layout and flow is. The garage siding, soffits and downspouts match our 14 year old house exactly making it look like it’s always been there. We’ve had several neighbours remark about the quality of the work.

Peggy and Josh our two Project Managers were always available to answer any questions. All permits were looked after by ReImagine and inspections were booked with the city in a timely manner.

We recommend ReImagine without reservation and will use them again for future renovations.

ReImagine Basements – Custom Basement Development Company – Review by Kelly T.

“Highly recommended!”

Before moving all of our stuff into the basement to never see the concrete again, we decided to develop. We got a few quotes and in the end decided to go with Bo and the Reimagine team. The price quoted was very reasonable and covered all of our needs.

During the quote stage, Bo was very easy to get a hold of and had good input on some ideas to design our basement the way we wanted it. He also had great input on how to shave some cost off of the already reasonable estimate without sacrificing build quality. Picking out finishings and materials was easy and fun and all of the suppliers were very helpful.

When we were assigned a PM (Peggy), we were super happy from when we first met her to saying goodbye and having the basement completed. Peggy and Josh were awesome and really on the ball which helped ease our minds throughout the build process. The trade crews were talented and respectful and did not bother our day to day lives at all.

All in all, we are very happy with ReImagine and think the way they deal with you on a very personal level helps build trust and results. Thank you guys for a great project completed on time and on budget! Highly recommended!

“We highly recommend them as they were able to deliver a quality product…”

We hired Reimagine builders for our basement development and it was a good decision. Bo, Josh, Peggy & their crew completed the work in time as estimated and more importantly to our satisfaction.
We highly recommend them as they were able to deliver a quality product backed up by 5 year warranty (one of the key deciding factors along with their competitive pricing) giving us a beautiful living space combined with peace of mind. The entire project was handled well and completed smoothly.

“They were approachable and reliable.”

We had a great time having our basement renovation done by ReImagine Builders. They were able to keep a line of communication with us along the way, was able to produce quality results, and quick remedy issues when brought up. They were approachable and reliable. My family and I would strongly recommend their services if you were looking for a trustworthy group.

“The completed basement looks great.”

We used ReImagine for our basement development and the experience was great. From planning to finish, they have done good jobs from providing professional advice to attentive work schedules and changes request. Their progress communication were regular and on target. Responses were prompt and clear. Each phase and type of work was done by professionals of that work type and each was done well. The completed basement looks great. Our friends came look and want to have theirs done by ReImagine as well.

“Reasonably priced compared to the other developers.”

When we decided to get our basement done, we contacted a few basement developers to get a quote. Bo was very quick in fixing a date for the in-home design consultation, sending us the design plan and quote. The tradespeople did their jobs well and cleaned up after themselves. The work was done with an infant and toddler present at home the whole time and it wasn’t disruptive at all. Josh and Peggy did a good job overseeing the project. Completed on time. Reasonably priced compared to the other developers.

“We are very happy with how everything turned out, thanks so much for our gorgeous basement!”

When we were in the process of purchasing our home, we decided to go with the mortgage plus reno in order to finish the basement. This meant needing a quote to give the bank on short notice. I contacted many companies but either they took a very long time getting back to me, or their estimates were much higher than we were expecting to pay. When I contacted ReImagine, I received an immediate response, and Bo was able to come to the house and give us a quote very quickly. The price was less than other companies, and he even gave me a booking credit that was meant to be used earlier in the year. Peggy oversaw the project and was beyond amazing, always very quick to respond to any questions and made sure we always knew what was going on. She is a huge asset and I loved working with her. Josh was also great, making sure I was happy with anything that was done. Any small problems that came up were taken care of efficiently and to my satisfaction. The timeline went over a bit, which is never ideal, but Peggy and Josh worked hard to make sure we could wrap things up as soon as possible. We are very happy with how everything turned out, thanks so much for our gorgeous basement!

“We are extremely pleased with the result…”

We selected Reimagine Builders after meeting with a handful of other companies to explore options for our relatively small basement in northwest Calgary. Bo and his team were not only the most cost-effective option, they also delivered exceptional quality and best-in-class service. Despite the project’s relatively modest size, not once did we feel as though were anything but Reimagine’s top priority. They were very amenable to changes in the initial design of the basement and were in constant contact with us throughout the course of the project to ensure we were satisfied with how things were proceeding. Importantly, they also worked with us to find ways to complete the project more efficiently and were very conscious of the disruption to our family on those rare occasions when their work bled into the evening or weekends. In particular, Peggy and Josh were absolutely stellar – their responsiveness, attention to detail and exacting standards of their subcontractors made the finished space that much better. We are extremely pleased with the result – they helped breath fresh life into our little home, and have given us a space that we absolutely love spending time in (something I never thought I’d say of a basement).

“I love the result and would strongly encourage anyone having work done on their home to use their services.”

ReImagine Basements completed the development of my basement along with a complete overhaul of my main floor. I love the result and would strongly encourage anyone having work done on their home to use their services. The work was done on-time and exactly to budget which was surprising to me given past experiences and considering the amount of work required. The team was very professional from top to bottom!

Great company to work with Basement was done on in a timely and scheduled fashion. Bo was there from A-Z. I recommend this company in any Reno or basement development.

ReImagine Basements – Custom Basement Development Company – Review by Tom S.

“I would highly recommend using ReImagine for your project!”

I have had my share of problems dealing with contractors in the past and have become very distrustful as a result. When my wife and I decided to develop our basement we spoke with 5-6 different contractors and I was very unimpressed with the prices and presentation.
One guy came in without a tape measure or anything, looked around for less than 2 minutes and told me it would be $50,000. No mention of what was included or anything. So when Bo came and spent close to two hours at our initial visit going through the various options and inclusions I knew that this was the company I wanted to work with…… and it didn’t hurt that their quote was for close to $10,000 less than most of the others. Now that it is complete I couldn’t be more happy with the space. I would highly recommend using ReImagine for your project!

“…the result was exactly as I envisioned it!”

ReImagine Builders did my basement last summer. I was very impressed by their professionalism and overall quality. Bo was always available to answer any questions that I might have over the course of the renovation project. In the end, the result was exactly as I envisioned it!

ReImagine did a great job developing my basement. Bo, the owner did a fantastic job answering my questions and concerns during the process. I will recommend this company for people looking to develop their basement while keeping a realistic budget.

“We are so happy with the finished project…”

We had a great experience working with Bo and his team. From the initial consultation, Bo helped us create a floorplan that optimized the space in our basement giving us everything we asked for plus an extra room we didn’t think we could fit in. The cost estimate worked with our budget and we knew exactly what we were in for before we even started. Constant updates on progress and budget helped us feel confident that the project would finish on time and on budget, which it did! All the tradespeople we met were friendly and polite and we had no hesitation having them in the house when we were out. We are so happy with the finished project, and would recommend Bo and his team to anyone looking to develop or spruce up an old basement.

“I would recommend them any day.”

My experience with ReImagine Basements is a pleasant one. They treat your basement like its their own. They don’t cut corners and they respond swiftly to any concerns. The finishing is top notch for a very hard to beat price, in terms of affordability. They are very transparent in their dealings and very very professional.I would recommend them any day.

“…I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends/family…”

After settling on a plan, more or less, last March we began our 600 sq.ft basement development project by consulting with several contractors and trades people. We started working with ReImagine in mid April, finalized and signed the contract early May. First inspections happened by May 20 and the project was complete by the end of August. We experienced some delays (~3 weeks) due to resolution of a pre-existing problem discovered by the building inspectors, repairing a plumbing issue, and waiting on a flooring material back-order.
Bo was very helpful in advising us on economically efficient alternatives; trades people were professional, timely and tidy; final clean-up was excellent; and the final cost was within our first estimate.
ReImagine was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends/family for projects of this type.

“I would definitely work with ReImagine Builders again.”

We had our 100+ year old home’s basement developed by ReImagine Builders about a year ago, and are happy with the experience and end result. The quality of work was quite good overall. Our space was only about 450 sq. ft., but it was a challenging project due to the age of the house and the scope of work (full bath rough-in required, floor leveling). Bo’s price was at least $10K less than a couple other companies, and was held firm throughout the project aside from a few minor changes that we agreed on.
Bo and his team were easy to work with and responsive to issues and challenges that came up. There were a few mix-ups along the way, but they were corrected immediately after I discussed with Bo. We also had a warranty issue with a shower base that was cracked during construction. This took about a month to coordinate and fix, but there was never any disagreement on whether it would be done.I would definitely work with ReImagine Builders again.

“They have exceeded my expectations…”

ReImagine Builders developed my basement. The project took about 8-10 weeks to complete (not including Christmas holidays). The project began in December and finished mid-late February. It was very easy to get a hold of Bo (President) and Josh (Project Manager). They both came over to measure my basement, provided free drawings, consultation, and quote. Communication: 5/5, there was never a time I didn’t know what stage the project was at. Courtesy: 5/5, they knew we were having a baby in February and they finished our basement in time so they would not disrupt our new-born with construction noise. The trades removed their footwear when entering our home (before they laid down running mats). Professionalism 4.5/5, There were a few small pieces of broken drywall left on the side of my house which got cleaned up shortly after drywall installation was complete. Other than that, we didn’t experience any problems with the trades. Quality: 5/5, I’ve received many compliments about the quality of work done, and how they matched our basement colors to the rest of our home making it appear as if it was developed by the builder. Price: 5/5, The quote I was given was $8,000 less than other builders. I did not request any change orders or major upgrades mid-project so the price did not fluctuate. Overall: 5/5, I would highly recommend ReImagine Builders, and will be a repeat customer if I need to develop again in my future houses. They have exceeded my expectations

“…Reimagine Builders are professionals and they pay attention to detail.”

We hired Reimagine Builders to develop our unfinished basement not only because they had 5 stars rating on various websites, but also they were quick and responsive to all our inquiries. They clearly explained everything to us, so we know exactly what to expect. There was a minor hiccup at the start of the project due to some misunderstanding, but overall the whole project from start to end went very smoothly. Any minor issues that we addressed were dealt with promptly. The contractors at Reimagine Builders are professionals and they pay attention to detail. Everything is top-notch in our opinion. Our basement turned out great! Thanks Bo, Josh and Peggy for a fantastic job.

“Will definitely consider if any work is required.”

Had a few questions about basement work and reached out based on their informative basement building codes blog article. Bo responded very quickly with great suggestion to my issue. I really appreciated knowledge sharing and help without any requirement to commit to a job first. Will definitely consider if any work is required.

The company was recommended to us by our son when we contacted the company we spoke to Bo the owner of the company to see about getting the basement made into a in-law suite Bo came out to meet with us and took measurements of the project cost and time frame to complete . The project was done on time and on budget the workers were very pleasant and keep us informed on what was happing we would highly recommend this company for any projects you are thinking of doing.

“…would recommend them to others…”

We had a challenge of increasing our space with our starter-turned-forever home, with a growing family. We wanted a place to keep our toys and space for ourselves so we started out search for someone to help us out. From the beginning of us reaching out and getting a customized response and offer to provide a quote for us in the same night to when we finally closed on the project, ReImagine Builders were able to provide a dependable and responsive service to us and our needs. They were able to figure out a schedule where we could do a personalized feature wall and gift wrapping closet, and be willing to work with us as opposed to forcing us into a “one-size-fits-all” upsell solution. We enjoyed our time with ReImagine Builders and would recommend them to others who are in a similar situation.

“I would definitely recommend them to anyone…”

Bo, Josh and the rest of the crew at Reimagine were extremely professional and helpful during the entire process, from design to completion. We could not be happier with how the basement turned out. They worked with us through design ideas to changes to touch ups, whatever we needed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who may be interested in a similar project. The whole process went about as smooth as you could hope. Thanks again for everything!
