Welcome, we strongly encourage you to visit our Home page when you have more time.  After all, any remodeling project—whether it be an office conference room or your entire basement—should only be started when you have thoroughly examined all the information you can.

What does that mean?  Read blogs.  Why are some companies consistently getting negative reviews?  Ask yourself, why is the salesperson so insistent on having you sign that contract that day—on the salesperson's first visit?  Why are they so afraid if you see other competitors and are given time to think about their "sales pitch"?

Ask them why their price is so high compared to drywall?  

Do some research on everything they are telling you.  Open your mind and ask questions.  That is why it is so important to not sign any contract from any of these basement system companies without sleeping on it.  For instance, one such competitor (a hard panel company) states that they can hang heavy objects on their walls. We have pictures of 175 lb. plasmas hanging on our soft walls.  Hmmmm.  

Another hard panel company boasts that theirs is the only system which will still be intact if your basement floods.  Great.  What about your carpet and all your furnishings: couches, tables, toys, pool tables?  If insurance is going to pay for that do you really want to trust the salesperson that your walls might still be o.k.?  Wouldn't you want those replaced too?  Don't you think you have bigger issues to deal with like why did you install the system if you get floods.  Solution, get a backup sump pump and fix any potential flooding problems as best you can.  As for small seepage, that won't effect any system.  That's one of their benefits over drywall; they are removable.

And while we are on the subject, if one very large company is stating that their fabric panels can be dried out in case of a flood...well, here's some news.  If theirs can be dried out then so can ours and every other fabric wall panel.  See, you really need time to think about these sales pitches.  Moreover, since we usually put a chair rail in at no additional cost and stretch our fabric rather then have it glued to the panel, if any panel was to be dried out and cleaned, ours would be the least costly (as only the lower 30 inch panel would have to be replaced) and our fabric could possibly be dry cleaned or laundered.  Nevertheless we are telling you that if you have a foot of water in your basement, we would replace everything which got wet.  I mean come on.  Why didn't you have a backup sump pump?

Research, research, research.  We want you to allow us to give you a quote and encourage you to also get one from every other basement system in your area.  Heck we'll even give you their names and phone numbers.  We really will.  We have never lost a basement contract to another basement system.  Why would we.  We are the only basement system in the country (hard or soft) which doesn't treat your important remodeling project like a subscription to encyclopedias.  

Folks, no offense to anyone's intelligence, but you are not getting 40% off the retail price if you "sign today, are flexible with start times, showcase your basement, got lucky that the phone call to the 'sales manager' that very evening caught him on a good and very generous day".

I mean what room addition, kitchen remodeling, or bath remodeling job has the salesperson come and spend 20 minutes going over your project and hours upon hours cutting and cutting the price so you sign that day?  It doesn't happen except, it seems, with all these non drywall, basement system companies.  That is with everyone except us.

Now, go about your day and when you are ready to begin the process, set aside a few hours and go through every page of our website and the websites of our competitors.  One thing you will notice, however, is this:  most of the other websites won't tell you much.  They'd rather have a salesperson pitch you...a slick salesperson "selling" you instead of just presenting the information to you and letting you rev up that brain of yours to decide for yourself.  Wonder why that is.
