2018-2021

  • The start of 3 challenging years for the company
  • Our owner Doug suffers the first of 2 heart attacks.

Challenges

Over the preceding 20 years, we developed a great company that completed 80-100 basements a year. The process was smooth, and our clients loved getting their basements finished for a reasonable price.

In March 2018 Doug suffered the first of 2 heart attacks and was forced to hire managers to run the company while he recovered.

  • During this period, we received several poor online reviews from angry clients. Although their basements were all fully finished, they took too long to complete, and communication was poor.

  • COVID-19 further complicates a difficult situation.

  • 2021 Jerry Richards joins the company as a partner and stabilizes our work processes. Client communication and job completion times improved dramatically so that we’re back to our normal operational excellence.
