5.0/5
Peter S. Peter S. Marblehead, MA

My house was built in 1730 in the historic district in Marblehead, Massachusetts. When I called Black Dog to come and give me an estimate to finish my basement, the floors were dirt, the walls cruddy, dirty fieldstone, the ceiling was a messy network of pipes for heating, plumbing and electric wires. Black Dog worked with me and helped me with a vision: to preserve the antique character of the basement, while making it a comfortable beautiful finished space. And so we launched the project. They did everything they said they would and they did it on time. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Their network of Black Dog approved sub-contractors were very competent, precise, experienced and also an absolute pleasure to deal with. This project was a great deal of fun. Of course, they obtained a permit and managed all the town inspections. Mike Thomas of BlackDog was the manager of the project. This guy is fantastic—upbeat, accommodating, on time every time, a man of his word. He delivered, big time. My basement is exquisite — one of a kind. The project was flawless and without a single snag. I highly, highly recommend BlackDog and Mike Thomas. The results are spectacular.

Our basement is small and tricky and needed many creative workarounds. From our interactions with our project manager Ken and his crew to the final basement outcome, we had an outstanding customer experience and are thrilled with the appearance and functionality of our new space!

Job Stories From Essex, MA

A Full Finish in Essex

These homeowners first contacted us through our online form, requesting that we look into finishing their basement ceilings, walls, and floors. When we spoke to them in greater detail, they were looking for a space to use as a recreational room and a three-quarter bathroom. We always present our process and options honestly and always want to make sure working with us is the best option for the homeowners. In this case, because the homeowners had a handy background, they opted to finish their basement themselves with a simplified version of their original idea. This is something we don't often recommend, as basement environments are tricky and require specific materials to stand the test of time. We are always happy to discuss a potential project and guide homeowners in making the best decisions for their space and budget.

Flooring Options in Essex

A homeowner in Essex, Massachusetts, contacted us to discuss flooring options in her basement. This homeowner was trying to find choices for a small room already built in her older home. Unfortunately, the existing flooring in the space was not waterproof and wouldn't be sustainable in a room she wanted to begin regularly using. We presented her with a few options in this space. The first was our ThermalElite Plank flooring, which we have in four colors and is our most popular choice. The second is our tile flooring. This can be slightly cheaper and offer a stone look that homeowners often choose for mudrooms but occasionally choose to place throughout their basements. The homeowner hasn't opted to begin this project yet, but is aware of her options when and if she decides to move forward.

Finishing a Partially Finished Basement

A family living in Essex, Massachusetts, is looking to have their basement finished. Although it has been finished in part in the past, it needs a lot more work before becoming a usable space. They needed all new ceilings and for their stairs to be completely redone. Ultimately, they decided on our 2X2 foot linen ceiling tiles to span the entire area. For the stairs, we added oak risers and treads and a wall-mounted handrail. After the work was done, they were able to use the space as an office and a place for their children to spend time when they weren’t in school.
