Testimonials for Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing

I have owned my Chicago North Shore home for 16 years. The water table is high around here, and in that time, my basement has flooded 3 times. Each time I took steps to stop the water seepage and leak source and thought I was done, but didn't quite get it all. The first flood was knee deep, the second flood was ankle deep (hey, we're making progress) and the third time it was just squishy carpets. Having finally found the very last hidden foundation crack and professionally sealing it after the third flood, I was faced with remodeling the entire basement for yet a third, and what I swore would be the last, time ever. I also swore I would never put myself in the position of having to rip out soaking wet smelly heavy carpeting and padding, or any other mold attracting organic material in my basement again. (Big tip here - Never, as in NEVER use drywall in your basement, it's just a mold bomb waiting to go off). I was on a bit of a manic crusade on this 3rd rebuild, and I spent a lot of time researching basement waterproofing systems and technologies so I could do it right. I wanted somebody who shared my water and dampness-hating philosophy and I finally found it when I came across Buck Buckley Total Basement Finishing. They had the waterproofing floor system I wanted, the waterproofing and anti-mold wall system I wanted, and they even had the professional quality air treatment machine to keep it that way. Everything the company offered was exactly in keeping with my goals of this third basement rebuild. Then, my wife intervened, and said as long as were doing it right, could we please add a new basement bathroom that she had been asking for years. It turned out, TBF could do this too, and the total cost for building a brand new bathroom where nothing but naked concrete floor originally stood was very reasonable compared to other contractors. All the work was done on time as promised. All the workers were great, clean-conscious, and friendly. The resulting basement is perfect, and for the first time since owning this house, I no longer worry when it rains. The basement has gone from a place not generally used, to one of the most popular places in the house. Highly recommended, would use them again in a heartbeat, and if you get the boys from Wisconsin they are all "Wisconsin nice" and you feel very good about doing business with them.

My husband and I recently purchased a new home and quickly found out that it has moisture problems and the entire finished basement has mold growing on it. We have not been able to move our belongings into the home yet because of it so I contacted Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing. Even though I wasn't ready to move forward with my basement just yet, but still wanted to have the SaniDry installed in the basement to help with the moisture problems. David Peerce went above and beyond for us and delivered the SaniDry to our home and installed it for us and we love it! 

Couldn't be happier - GREAT JOB! 

Our new finished basement looks great, we really like the clean and neutral look. We are happy we don't have to be disappointed with the damage that are floods have caused the last two or three years here. Buck and Bob did a great job communicating and being flexible with our schedule. They did everything they could to accommodate what we wanted and answer our questions. We are really happy with how the whole thing came out.

Both the installation crew and electrician are great! 

Everything went really well! the experience was great and everyone was professional.

Installer Sean - very professional and excellent communication. Orin the electrician - very knowledgeable and communicated well.   

Buck Buckley's TBF provided a fast response to our request to meet with their associate to discuss our basement remodeling ideas. They worked with us until we found a mutual plan that would work with the existing layout of our basement but give us the rec room and office that we wanted. We were delighted when they contacted us saying that one of their contractors was free and could start on it more than a month ahead of schedule! The communication with the contractors was very open and any questions I had were answered by them, as well as getting phone calls back with progress for the week. The rooms turned out fantastic and we are more than pleased with every aspect of construction. I will recommend them to anyone that wants to finish out their basement!

Bob the builder was great and orientation was awesome!

Everything went great! we love the open concept design.
