"We hired beams to basements to finish our basement and the project went great. Josh and team did great work, kept a clean job site and worked fast which we appreciated as we had a tight timeline working against my wife’s due date. Mim did a fantastic job coordinating, sharing updates and communicating clearly at every step along the way. If we have other large projects in the future, we’ll work with Josh & Mim again in a heart beat."

– Will L.

"Josh and Mim at Beams to Basements helped us with a tricky window and front door install. This was after one of the big box companies up sold us on doing a lot of extra windows, then realized that they didn't actually know how to do the project given the complexity of our house! Josh had the technical expertise to pull it off without a hitch, and Mim was responsive with all questions and planning up to the date of the project. We will definitely use them again in the future!"

– Marnina K.

"Mim and Josh were great to work with on our dining room to office conversion project. They even went above and beyond to review work outside their scope and provided valuable guidance. Their price for work was fair and the quality of the finished product was great. Highly recommend!"

– Margaret P.

"We worked with Beams to Basements to remodel our outdated kitchen and bathroom. We had struggled to find a contractor we felt was knowledgeable and communicative for months. Mim is great at keeping an open line of communication, project management, and addressing any concerns I had about the process or the work. Josh was amazing as well! He very clearly explained materials I would need or what the work would look like and he was very patient if I asked for more clarifications about the work. Naturally, we had some road bumps along the way, but they were always professional and always adjusted accordingly to ensure we were happy with the results. We are SO glad we found trustworthy people to work on our home. They are a great team and I would absolutely work with them again!"
