Harmony Basements team finished our basement for us and their service was excellent. From the first consultation to the final inspection, they were professional and timely. We were given advance notice of every step to the process, and it was clear that they value us as a customer. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to finish or remodel your basement!
What sounded impossible was done in approximately 45 days! The most impactful moments for us - outside of the great work every single one of the contractors and team delivered on to make this basement a reality - were:1) Great consulting and delivery on the quote; of all the service partners that we engaged, Harmony Basements was the most transparent and detailed in helping us make an informed decision.2) Sound design advice from Stefany on all counts and love how the accent wall came out!3) Too many contractors to all name - but lets start with Diego, a great PM and Architect that demonstrated great pride in the work of Harmony Basements. We had some interesting discussions throughout the process, what I came away with was appreciation for the open communication, timely updates shared, and when things were not going according to plan - how he went about communicating that and making sure we were satisfied with the decisions made. We were and are!Thank you as well to : Luke, John, Flavio, Roberto, Moses, Jeff, Jo, Gurdev, Julian, Roy and the other hardworking folks that gave us this great space.4) True workmanship pride, the follow-up during the inspection process, making sure that everything was exactly as intended and discussed and providing guidance / solutions that helped us make informed decisions.LOVE LOVE LOVE this new space we have downstairs, thank you Harmony Basements! I would definitely recommend them!
Harmony finished our basement in mid-Sept 2017. Overall a pretty great job but it was 4 weeks delayed and there were minor workflow issues. I would still recommend them. The materials are top notch and my basement is toasty warm. Our family now has an extra 1000 sq ft of useable, functional living space. I have a more thorough review on Homestars. Give them a call and see what they can do for you!
My search for a trustworthy basement renovation company ended with Harmony Basements. My basement looks like a brand new one. Literally after the services received, I spend most of the time there chilling with my friends. Thanks guys. What a commendable job you have done.
I am so pleased with my basement renovation by Harmony Basements. The difference between my original 1960’s style to my chosen upgrades and new bathroom is such a welcome improvement thanks to my knowledgeable salesman, DIEGO, all the various trades people and follow-up by CLAUDIO from customer service. Everyone was courteous, professional and neat and friendly. I recommend that you look them up at The Home Shows. You will be glad you did!
I had a great experience with Harmony Basements We had our basement underpinned and fully finished with them. The project ran slightly over the initial timeline, but the project manager went above and beyond to accommodate us for the 2 week delay. Each part of the process was explained to us in detail. Communication was excellent and key to these types of projects. The quality and hard work of the trades did not go unnoticed. We are very happy with the outcome. I would definitely recommend!
My basement was built by Harmony in May 2018, yes.. TWO years ago and I am writing a review now, two years later. My reason for writing a review two years later is because during my time, I have worked with a lot of trades people and often I find that most trades like to do their work and quickly move on to the next job, not giving a care about the job they just completed. These companies don't stand by their final product, they will make it look good for the first few months and after that when a few items go wrong, they don't care to come back and fix it. Based on this experience, I decided to write my review of Harmony Basements two years later at the end of the two year warranty that they offer. After two years, Harmony Basements STANDS BY there final product. Harmony has built the BEST, RELIABLE and ABSOLUTELY STUNNING basement that I and my entire family has seen. Most reviews like start from the beginning to the end of their project, but I'm going to do the opposite and start from my warranty coverage to the very beginning stages of construction.Warranty/Customer Service: 10/10What I find so great about Harmony was the fact that they care about their final product. During the last two years, I had two very minor issues with my basement which was a result of my own choice/mistake. I contacted Harmony to get these two issues resolved and they scheduled the repair days later. Most trades do not even pick up the phone when I call but Harmony takes their warranty and final product serious! One of the minor issues was my washroom faucet, it was leaking water. I did not use the faucet that Harmony provided, I used a Glacier Bay faucet (stay away from Glacier Bay faucets) and when I noticed the leak I contacted Harmony. They came days later to ensure that the leak was not coming from the pipes. It was a faulty washer in the glacier bay faucet, I wish I had used the Harmony faucet initially, but Harmony, actually caring about their final product removed the glacier bay faucet and installed a new faucet for me. They had no reason to change the faucet as it was not their own, but being the great and compassionate company that they are, they fixed it for me. This is one of the reasons why I absolutely love Harmony.. they have an amazing warranty coverage and amazing customer service. Plumbing/Hvac/Electrical/Drywall - 10/10 what more can I say?! Perfect!KITCHEN - 100/10 .. yes 100 out of 10Let's just say the finishing in our basement kitchen area is better then our upstairs kitchen! This is the 'wow' factor in our basement. See the pictures below yourself. Also, we made changes as the kitchen was being built, Harmony did an excellent job listening and helping us make those changes happen. They cared so much about how we envisioned our basement. Claudio/Diego - 10/10It is very rare to find people in the construction business to be honest and forth coming. I have been 'hustled' by so many trades people but Claudio and Diego are different. These two take so much pride in the product they give to their customers. They are honest and respectful and most importantly TRUTHFUL!! These are the people you want to invest in when it comes to building your DREAM basement. I'm very thankful to have them build my basement for my family and I. Thank you guys!To sum it all up.. yes you have your Penguin Basements, AGM.. but they are NOT even at the SAME LEVEL as Harmony. Harmony said they would make my basement look better then the main floor and that's what they exactly did!You want QUALITY and HONESTY.. go with Harmony!!!
Three words to summarize Harmony Basements: fantastic and highly recommended.We had been considering finishing our basement for some time and spoke with a few contractors, with Harmony being one of them. From the very first meeting with Diego, we felt confident. He came to our unfinished basement, listened to our ideas, and surprised us by quickly preparing a detailed architectural 3D rendering walkthrough of what the finished space could look like, along with a clear price and timeline.Once we moved forward, everything fell into place seamlessly. The process was very organized and the communication was always clear. Diego’s project manager, Roy, took over once construction started, and the team worked efficiently and professionally. Diego had promised the work would be done in six weeks, and they actually finished two days ahead of schedule.I didn’t have any referral or recommendation for Harmony, but I trusted my gut after meeting Diego, and I’m very glad I did. This team truly delivered beyond expectations.If you are looking for a contractor who respects timelines, produces excellent results, and runs projects with professionalism, I highly recommend Harmony Basements.
We hired Harmony Basements to finish our basement. From the first time Diego (Sales Rep) came out to give us our estimate, dealing with Stefany - Interior Designer and Rocco (Project Manager ) the whole team did an outstanding job! Everything from their professionalism to their time lines were completed with great satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the results and we will continue recommend Harmony Basements to our friends. I must mention also the Project Manager (Rocco) went up and above the call of duty to make sure the whole experience was enjoyable. Thanks Harmony Basements
I wanted to finish my basement into an in law suit but I was very apprehensive because I had a really bad experience with renovations in the past. You get what you pay for and Harmony Basements was worth every dollar!!!From start to finish the staff was professional, attentive, patient and RELIABLE. The work was completed ahead of schedule and without any hiccups, I am still in shock how well everything went.My basement is BEAUTIFUL now.I want to THANK Diego, Stefany, Pablo, Nick, Roy and Alex for making this experience so smooth.I would recommend Harmony Basements to anyone looking for a great renovation company.Choose Harmony!
In 2024, they renovated our 2,000 sq. ft. space into a beautiful suite with a bedroom, walk-in closet, full bath, studio/gym, large storage, living-dining area, laundry, and direct garage access—all within six weeks, as promised.From the start, architect-owner Diego impressed us. He spent hours designing our layout, offered smart advice on function and budget, and delivered a 3D design that fit our lifestyle. His attention to detail—from switch placements to structural integrity—shows his professionalism and experience.A special thank you Roy, the site manager! He far exceeded our expectations; pleasant, knowledgeable, respectful, experienced, and structurally sound. He was very patient with our questions about minor details such as heights of towel rods and mirror! Roy went out of his way to personally make the project successful! Our confidence in Harmony was 100% enhanced by Roy's almost daily presence and his long hours to meet the timeline.Thanks as well to:- Arturo for precise framing and perfect bulkheads and drywalling- Jimmy for high-quality painting—even on weekends- Sasha for her reliable daily coordination- Stephany, our designer, for her current and patient design choicesThe entire crew was respectful, timely, tidy, and efficient. They cleaned up daily, and even hired professional cleaners for the final day—something other companies don’t provide.Diego runs Harmony with honesty, transparency, and no surprises or extras. He even followed up personally on a kitchen cabinet issue within 24 hours. We never once had to chase them after payment, and he stayed just as helpful after the project ended.I’m 110% satisfied with the results of this project. From the design build to the handing over, we were totally happy we picked Harmony for the excellent quality of their work. We will definitely rehire them in the future for any renovation needs.
Harmony Basements understands what it means to exceed expectations. We asked them to come and quote us for completely finishing our basement that included a wet bar, 3 piece bath, and podcast studio. Other contractors that we asked for quotes provided one after a 30 minute inspection of the house.Diego spent approximately 3 hours working on the quote at our home, which resulted in a 3D walkthrough and 3 different layout options of what the finished product would look like. His attention to detail, and work put into the quote, as well as his willingness to be flexible on price gave us the confidence to go with him and his team.Add to that, that we had a very tight timeline of exactly 6 weeks, his team of specialized contractors put in the extra hours and weekends to ensure that the project was completed with time to SPARE which served to help us immensely in getting our studio ready for broadcast.There were issues with getting the permit and later some electrical issues, which Diego and his team addressed promptly without having to chase them which was very refreshing to see.In the end, we are 100% satisfied with the result of the build. From design, to the friendliness of his people, to the quality and speed of the work, you would be missing out if you did NOT use Harmony Basements for your needs.They are truly in a class all on their own.
We are so grateful for Diego and the entire Harmony Basements team! Our basement was in need of a major transformation and they made our vision come to life. We were referred to Harmony through a friend, who also completed their basement reno with this team. From start to finish, their team and trades were professional, efficient, hardworking and transparent. I would definitely recommend them with high regards. Thank you again.
We loved working with Diego, Roy and everyone from Harmony Basements. From our initial meeting with Diego it was clear who we were going to choose for our basement renovation. Several times I thought we may have encountered something that would stretch our initial timeline, but if longer days were required then that’s what happened to keep it on time. Always available, clear communication and planning, good people. You won’t be disappointed choosing Harmony for your project.
We are very pleased with the overall quality and finish. These guys are seriously committed to do a good job maintaining direct and constant communication with us throught the project. Harmony Basements have met our expectations. They have done a good job. Our first meeting with Claudio and Diego went well we knew right away after they told us and explained the process we knew they knew what they were doing. We had all the options explained to us and how the company operates. The material selections was done quick and easy in the decor studio located in Woodbridge at the their main office. The decor studio manager and selections coordinator understood what we wanted. Their customer service were always ready to assist us or answer any questions. Very important to us Harmony did not came up with any surprises and changes just the normal issues any construction site would have. In conclusion great work from Claudio’s team of managers, scheduling and communication, no complaints there. 10 for him and his team. Everything was managed in a professional and timely manner. There were NO unexpected delays and Everybody was in the house as planned. Harmony Basements has taken care of our investment and put in their best efforts every day. We have already recommend Harmony Basements to friends and family.
We are very satisfied with the workmanship and customer service of the Harmony Team that completed our basement finishing project. From the initial design phase, we were confident that Harmony could deliver our vision within a respectable budget. Diego dedicated his time (prior to us signing an agreement) to provide us with the conceptual design model ensuring the project scope was clear and that it was to our satisfaction. Stefany assisted us with our selections at the Design Studio and the process was smooth. The project started very shortly after signing the agreement with everything concluding within 7 weeks. Sasha provided a weekly schedule that was closely followed and Harmony’s communication was good. Roy, the Site Supervisor, was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable, friendly, took time to explain things and offer suggestions and made sure the project was completed to our specifications. We would highly recommend the Harmony Team for basement and other area renovation projects and would welcome the opportunity to be able to work with them again in the future.
Amazing service end to end.Our family needed additional living space as we are expecting our third child.We needed a reliable, thorough, organized and cost efficient company that could facilitate all the items we needed for our basement.With luck, we were able to connect with Diego and the team at Harmony Basements just before Christmas to get work estimated and started just in time for the holidays.Every trade was punctual and did an amazing job. They were able to meet the completion timeline without any major delays.Would definitely recommend Harmony Basements to friends and family.
Harmony Basements recently finished my basement and I can't be more happy with the end result. Their attention to detail and my personal inquiries have been met. The experience overall has been a pleasent one starting from the design process with Pablo to the decor selections meeting with Stefany then working with Diego, Robert, Roy and the rest of the team. Great quality materials, transparency and good timing. Very impressive showroom by the way!
Calling Diego and his team experts in their field would not be an exaggeration! Their work is top notch . From day one until completion there was a dedicated team on site . A true example of proper project management.The attention to detail is spectacular from framing ,drywall, painting, hvac ,electrical to plumbing, the finished basement exceeded our expectations!No matter how many questions we had, we always got a prompt response and we always felt that we were the most valued clients !!No hesitation in recommending Diego and his team for your basement renovation needs.
My wife and I set out to find a contractor to completely gut and transform our basement into a fully functional suite for our daughter, her boyfriend, his 4-year-old son, and their soon-to-arrive baby.Our requirements were strict: we needed a family room, a kitchen, a 3-piece bathroom, and three bedrooms. Given the limited square footage and the unusual foundation layout of our basement, we knew this would be a major challenge. We needed someone highly creative, experienced, and willing to think outside the box.Most of the contractors we met came in, took basic measurements with tape or a laser, briefly listened to our needs, and quickly quoted us. Almost all of them said that fitting a 3-piece bath and a family room was possible, but having three bedrooms as well was “virtually impossible.” That was until we met Diego from Harmony Basements.From the moment Diego walked in, it felt different. He carefully listened to everything we wanted, then proceeded to take detailed measurements of every part of the basement. That very same night, he sat down and designed a scaled layout complete with a virtual 3D walkthrough that showed us exactly what we had envisioned and more. Diego is an absolute wizard at maximizing every square inch of space. He spent over three hours with us that evening.Then came the question all homeowners dread: “When can you start, and how long will it take?” Without hesitation, Diego confidently said he could start within the week and finish in four to six weeks. He explained that he had dedicated teams for every trade and that a project manager would be assigned to oversee the entire build.When Diego left, my wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief. It felt too good to be true.But Diego kept his word. Within days, we received a clear, detailed, and structured work schedule. Honestly, after receiving such a “Rolls-Royce” level of service in our first meeting, we braced ourselves for a shocking price. To our surprise and relief, the cost was well within our budget.One thing worth noting: Harmony Basements was the only company that included key finishes: bathroom vanity, toilet, plumbing fixtures, kitchen cabinets, sink, and faucet... all in the base quote. Other contractors excluded these or listed them as upgrades.After signing, we were invited to their showroom to select paint colors, kitchen cabinet styles, bathroom tiles, plumbing fixtures, trim details, and more. It felt like designing a brand-new home.Throughout the project, we made a few changes to the layout. Diego and our assigned project manager, Roy, handled all of them without hesitation. In fact, Diego made some excellent suggestions that we happily adopted, such as relocating the entire furnace and ducts to improve the layout. Communication was consistent, and the entire team was professional, respectful, and clearly passionate about their work.Diego, Roy, and the talented crew completed everything exactly on schedule, no delays and no excuses.The finished result is nothing short of spectacular. We’re still amazed at how they managed to turn our challenging basement into a beautiful, spacious, and practical suite with a cozy family room, a large bathroom, and three bedrooms with proper closets. The attention to detail and craftsmanship truly stand out.The process was smooth and stress-free. The team worked diligently, five to six days a week, allowing our daughter and her family to move in earlier than expected.It’s also worth mentioning that Diego doesn’t just do basements. He handles full home renovations of all kinds.. and after this experience, we wouldn’t trust anyone else.If you're looking for a one-stop shop with a professional, trustworthy contractor who delivers exceptional results at a fair price, look no further. Choose Diego and Harmony Basements.. you’ll be glad you did!

We had a wonderful experience with Harmony basements. They are prompt, professional and skilled at their job. Their prices are reasonable. Diego and his team are wonderful to work with. Diego was very patient in answering all our questions and giving us good suggestions in maximizing the space in our basement. We are very happy with the outcome.
Harmony did a fantastic job with our basement. All trades were polite, hardworking and precise with their work. We are very happy with the finished product. They also used a 3D render to virtually walk us through our basement prior to construction which was an awesome touch.
Harmony Basements gave us a gorgeous space. We were able to get the exact design we hoped for. The construction team were very efficient and professional. We are so pleased with how our basement turned out.
Our young son needed his own room in our basement and we came to Claudio and his team at Harmony Basements . They absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only did he have creative solutions for our basement space, he and his team were on time, professional, and actually a joy to have in the house. Some of them have known each other since childhood, and the trust and history means a natural understanding and positive mood. There were many times they'd be working out a problem together and I'd hear laughter coming from the other room. For a project that necessarily involves coming into someone's hearth and home, I think it really matters that the contractors are not only professional, but friendly and approachable. We added work as we went along, and Claudio was fair and flexible about changes - we even gained a storage room we didn't hope for, thanks to Claudio ideas. We are unbelievably pleased with our renovation and the fact we have "gained more house" in the effort. Thanks Harmony Basements
I was very impressed with the work that was done by Harmony Basements. With their highly specialized team they helped me design a beautiful basement far beyond my expectations. Their attention to detail was very impressive. They thought of every last detail and the finished work was unbelievable. Rocco and Sasha were truly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend anyone that needs renovations done to their home to contact Harmony Basements . Not only that they did an excellent job, they left my home in a broom swept condition that left very little for me to do after they finished the job. Thank you Harmony Basements.
Had a unbelievable experience with the team at Harmony. Diego was Amazing, any concerns we ever had he was quick to put us at ease. The best part was that Diego is very open to using your ideas and implementing them. we were updated on every step of the way. We made a few major changes, and like always Diego never made a big deal or said it was to late to make changes and accommodated every request we had made. The final product and vision is beyond what we expected. Every single trade they had brought in was very professional and very respectful. Julian and Linda were great and their work is beyond amazing. I have to say I am so glad I was referred to them and very grateful for the whole team.Again Great work Diego!
We hired Harmony Basements to finish our old basement. They did an excellent job. From the waterproofing all the way through the entire finishing. Super nice crew and easy to deal with. Thanks for everything guys!

We are very pleased with the development of our basement. Claudio - project manager , kept things moving smoothly, took the time to keep us fully informed and answered any questions we might have. All the trades personnel did good work. Together this all contributed to giving us a very successful basement development. We would certainly recommend to Harmony Basements friends who are looking for any kind of renovations.
From the moment I sat down with Diego , I knew that he was passionate about what he does and that my basement Reno was in good hands.He has surrounded himself with an impeccable team and the work they do is something that will truly amaze you .Where other companies were requiring that i take care of the permits, Diego put my fears at ease and handled it all , so that I wouldn’t have to.From moving ducts around so that I may have a cleaner ceiling look to extending my accent wall so that the tv does not cover it all, Diego really makes sure that you will be completely satisfied with the finished product.We couldn’t be happier with how our basement came out.A huge Thank You to Diego and the entire Harmony Basements Family for making this project so easy on us and for having us grin from ear to ear with the finished product.
Just had my basement done and I am very pleased with the quality and professionalism of work. Project manager Claudio is a good man. He was very easy to communicate with. He kept us current with job status and everything was done as per schedule.He went out his way to please, doing some extra things at no cost and with no hassle. I would not hesitate to recommend.
I did feel that my basement cost ended up being more than what I had planned for, but I feel going with harmony turned out to be a good decision. They have been professsional , on time, well managed and have high quality of materials and work. I love spending time in my basement now, and I feel it turned out to be a great investment. Thank you Harmony.
Diego and the team did a great job with the basement. They were always accommodating with any last minute changes and were helpful with suggestions on the design and finishes. The quality and workmanship was also great.
We are so happy with our renovation, and just as importantly, we were really impressed with how the work was done. Harmony Basements renovation team were easy to work with, highly professional. Even while the work was being done, the basement was tidy and organized. We were never pressured to do more than we wanted. The work was done on time and they always respected our budget. I highly recommend Harmony Basements . Thank u for an amazing job on our basement renovation.
We love our basement, the end product was fantastic. Diego and his team are responsive and went above and beyond to help us out throughout the process.
I had signed a contract with AGM Basements, a large company endorsed by Mike Holmes. However, after discovering a Facebook group called "Victims of AGM," where past and current customers shared their renovation nightmares, I was able to cancel the contract within 48 hours.After doing more research, I came across Harmony Basements and was impressed by the overwhelmingly positive feedback. I reached out to their office and asked to meet with the owner to discuss my project. From the very first conversation, I could tell that Diego is an incredibly talented and detail-oriented professional.My project was a large legal second dwelling, and I had spoken to multiple contractors before making a decision. Most of them provided vague quotes and outsourced their design work to third-party architects. The difference with Harmony was clear—Diego, a professional architect by trade, leads a dedicated team of designers. They showed me examples of their completed projects, including one nearly identical to what I had envisioned: a large rental unit with two bedrooms plus a separate bachelor suite for Airbnb.Their approach made complete sense. I invested $6,000 in their design and permit package, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. I initially had one solid idea for my basement, but through their collaborative process, Diego and his team helped me explore about ten different layouts. Seeing real-time renderings of each option was an incredible experience. By the end of our design sessions, we had a fully detailed scope of work, including electrical and mechanical plans—everything required for building permits and to obtain more accurate contractor quotes. The service also covered the submission to the municipality for approvals. This wasn't just a basic floor plan and 3D rendering—this was the real deal.Diego was so confident in his pricing that he guaranteed it would be the most cost-effective option. He even promised a $2,000 credit toward the design fee if I awarded Harmony the construction contract. One of the best parts of this process was the transparency in costs. Since every expense was clearly outlined, I was able to make informed decisions to maximize my return on investment. For example, I originally had a high number of pot lights in the design, but since this was a rental unit, I opted to reduce the number without sacrificing quality.I initially signed the agreement without including the staircase finishing with their Torlys vinyl product, just to save costs. My home already had two painted staircases (main and service) from the builder. However, once the project was underway and I saw the level of craftsmanship, I decided to add the staircase finishing in the middle of the renovation—it simply made sense.Throughout the project, Diego and his team exceeded my expectations. My basement is just under 1,500 sqft, and I worked closely with Diego for about a month to finalize every detail. He was patient, full of creative ideas, and genuinely invested in making sure the outcome was perfect. The entire Harmony team was exceptional. Roy, the site supervisor, was always attentive and quick to address any concerns, often working late to keep things on schedule. Roberto, the framer, worked incredibly fast while maintaining outstanding precision. Missael, the taper, put in over 12-hour days, even on weekends, to ensure timely completion. Julian’s carpentry work brought the space to life, and Eduardo, one of the nicest professionals I’ve met, delivered a flawless paint job and left the basement spotless.A team like this is rare to find. They worked quickly without ever compromising quality, and the results speak for themselves. I couldn’t be happier with my decision, and I’ve already recommended Harmony Basements to several people. If you’re considering a basement renovation, do yourself a favor and talk to Diego first!
I wanted to finish my basement into an in law suit but I was very apprehensive because I had a really bad experience with renovations in the past. You get what you pay for and Harmony Basements was worth every dollar!!!From start to finish the staff was professional, attentive, patient and RELIABLE. The work was completed ahead of schedule and without any hiccups, I am still in shock how well everything went.My basement is BEAUTIFUL now.I want to THANK Diego, Stefany, Pablo, Nick, Roy and Alex for making this experience so smooth.I would recommend Harmony Basements to anyone looking for a great renovation company.Choose Harmony!
Our experience with Harmony Basement's finishing of our basement including a bathroom was very positive. We found the contractors were very hard working and reliable, showing up on time and cleaning up daily. Claudio, the supervisor always listened to our concerns during the process and took action. Diego's was a great help in designing the layout. The drywall finishing and painting were simply outstanding and George was a "workhorse" with the long hours he worked on site to complete the framing and drywall installation. The project was completed on time. We are extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend the company for your renovation needs.
I am very happy with the work done by Claudio and Seth for finishing my basement. He finished it 2.5 months as promised. Also I got all items done as agreed upon as everything was discussed upfront and put on paper. I referred him to 2 other friends and both have done their basements through Harmony Basements as well and they are happy too
We decided to have Rocco and his team at Turn Key fully develop our basement. Included large family room, bedroom, bathroom and home gym. They did a great job at turning our vision into reality. Everyone was a pleasure to deal with and very professional. They will certainly be our first call for the next project my wife is dreaming up...
This is the second basement project completed with Harmony Basements and we are thrilled with the results. Diego and his team were professional, courteous, friendly and consulted us through the project. Workmanship and details were excellent. Diego helped us navigate through some material supply shortages, common these days, to deliver a top notch design that was on time and budget! Looking forward to enjoying our basement for many years to come. Thanks again!
Mark designed our entire basement and made sure we had no wasted space. He was on time, on budget and was extremely flexible in our changes and decisions. Great workers who were polite, efficient and respectful of our home. Top quality work that I would highly recommend
When we met with Harmony Basements for a meeting in regards to finishing our basement, we came to them with a request. We wanted a very elegant basement and very minimalistic. Unfortunately, we did not have a lot of space to work with but they were still able to transform our small area into the basement of our dreams. The level of professionalism, experience and expertise of staff from the sales manager to project manager to designer and all trades involved is compared to none. Thank you so much!
We are thrilled with our basement finish by Harmony Basements! This by far was the easiest home project we have completed. Harmony Basements listened to our needs/ideas and designed a space that functions perfectly for our family. They completed the project on time, within budget, and communicated with us throughout the entire project. The subs were professional and respectful of our home and work with Harmony Basements regularly. There was great attention to detail and quality workmanship from everyone.Harmony Basements went above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to finish their basement
After comparing a number of basement renovation companies, my Husband and I choose to finish our basement with Harmony Basements. We were originally recommended their service by a friend who had them finish his basement. He constantly told us about their great service and selection of options to choose from. They ensure to pay attention to every meticulous detail all throughout the renovation. After the job was completed, we now understand why our friend recommended their service and we are already starting to recommend their service as well. Thank you for your great work.
Finishing a basement is a big financial investment and after a few quotes we went with Harmony Basements. Their standard finishes were a lot better than the other places we looked at. Working with Deigo and Pablo to design the layout and finishes was great. They were both helpful and responded quickly to questions or concerns. The job was finished on time and Deigo was here inspecting and making sure everything was done correctly. Overall we are happy with the finishes and customer service and are enjoying our finished basement.
Working with Harmony Basements has been an absolute pleasure from day one. From our very first meeting, Diego impressed us with his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine interest in bringing our vision to life. The design process was seamless and collaborative. Diego listened carefully to what we wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions.Once construction began, the Harmony team was prompt, respectful, and very well organized. We were kept in the loop every step of the way, and any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. The level of craftsmanship and pride in their work is evident throughout the finished project. They stayed on schedule, on budget, and exceeded our expectations with the final result.If you're looking for a contractor that combines top-notch quality with honest communication and true professionalism, look no further than Harmony Basements. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!
Harmony finished our basement in mid-Sept 2017. Overall a pretty great job but it was 4 weeks delayed and there were minor workflow issues. I would still recommend them. The materials are top notch and my basement is toasty warm. Our family now has an extra 1000 sq ft of useable, functional living space. I have a more thorough review on Homestars. Give them a call and see what they can do for you!
We are very pleased with our finished basement that Harmony Basements constructed. Every aspect of the job was done professionally with great products and great service. I have no hesitation in promoting Harmony Basements to anyone thinking of renovating their basement.
The team is well organized and very professional. Upfront on all the costs and flexible with the designs and very agile when it comes to the timelines. Everything was completed on time and to the budget that was initially given.Highly recommend this team if you want a fantastic experience with some down to earth people. Even dog friendly with a large rescue new to the home.
We moved into a new house during the pandemic that had an unfinished basement. It was a difficult time but Harmony Basements managed to turn it into a wonderful legal basement apartment as quickly as possible. Every part of it is done perfectly. From the lovely flooring, the gorgeous stone wall and fireplace, to the beautiful kitchen and bathroom with glass shower and tiling. All was done with safety in mind even down to the foundation check and we passed inspection with flying colours. I am now enjoying living in my very own private apartment !

My wife and I set out to find a contractor to completely gut and transform our basement into a fully functional suite for our daughter, her boyfriend, his 4-year-old son, and their soon-to-arrive baby.Our requirements were strict: we needed a family room, a kitchen, a 3-piece bathroom, and three bedrooms. Given the limited square footage and the unusual foundation layout of our basement, we knew this would be a major challenge. We needed someone highly creative, experienced, and willing to think outside the box.Most of the contractors we met came in, took basic measurements with tape or a laser, briefly listened to our needs, and quickly quoted us. Almost all of them said that fitting a 3-piece bath and a family room was possible, but having three bedrooms as well was “virtually impossible.” That was until we met Diego from Harmony Basements.From the moment Diego walked in, it felt different. He carefully listened to everything we wanted, then proceeded to take detailed measurements of every part of the basement. That very same night, he sat down and designed a scaled layout complete with a virtual 3D walkthrough that showed us exactly what we had envisioned and more. Diego is an absolute wizard at maximizing every square inch of space. He spent over three hours with us that evening.Then came the question all homeowners dread: “When can you start, and how long will it take?” Without hesitation, Diego confidently said he could start within the week and finish in four to six weeks. He explained that he had dedicated teams for every trade and that a project manager would be assigned to oversee the entire build.When Diego left, my wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief. It felt too good to be true.But Diego kept his word. Within days, we received a clear, detailed, and structured work schedule. Honestly, after receiving such a “Rolls-Royce” level of service in our first meeting, we braced ourselves for a shocking price. To our surprise and relief, the cost was well within our budget.One thing worth noting: Harmony Basements was the only company that included key finishes: bathroom vanity, toilet, plumbing fixtures, kitchen cabinets, sink, and faucet... all in the base quote. Other contractors excluded these or listed them as upgrades.After signing, we were invited to their showroom to select paint colors, kitchen cabinet styles, bathroom tiles, plumbing fixtures, trim details, and more. It felt like designing a brand-new home.Throughout the project, we made a few changes to the layout. Diego and our assigned project manager, Roy, handled all of them without hesitation. In fact, Diego made some excellent suggestions that we happily adopted, such as relocating the entire furnace and ducts to improve the layout. Communication was consistent, and the entire team was professional, respectful, and clearly passionate about their work.Diego, Roy, and the talented crew completed everything exactly on schedule, no delays and no excuses.The finished result is nothing short of spectacular. We’re still amazed at how they managed to turn our challenging basement into a beautiful, spacious, and practical suite with a cozy family room, a large bathroom, and three bedrooms with proper closets. The attention to detail and craftsmanship truly stand out.The process was smooth and stress-free. The team worked diligently, five to six days a week, allowing our daughter and her family to move in earlier than expected.It’s also worth mentioning that Diego doesn’t just do basements. He handles full home renovations of all kinds.. and after this experience, we wouldn’t trust anyone else.If you're looking for a one-stop shop with a professional, trustworthy contractor who delivers exceptional results at a fair price, look no further. Choose Diego and Harmony Basements.. you’ll be glad you did!

Three words to summarize Harmony Basements: fantastic and highly recommended.We had been considering finishing our basement for some time and spoke with a few contractors, with Harmony being one of them. From the very first meeting with Diego, we felt confident. He came to our unfinished basement, listened to our ideas, and surprised us by quickly preparing a detailed architectural 3D rendering walkthrough of what the finished space could look like, along with a clear price and timeline.Once we moved forward, everything fell into place seamlessly. The process was very organized and the communication was always clear. Diego’s project manager, Roy, took over once construction started, and the team worked efficiently and professionally. Diego had promised the work would be done in six weeks, and they actually finished two days ahead of schedule.I didn’t have any referral or recommendation for Harmony, but I trusted my gut after meeting Diego, and I’m very glad I did. This team truly delivered beyond expectations.If you are looking for a contractor who respects timelines, produces excellent results, and runs projects with professionalism, I highly recommend Harmony Basements.
From the moment I sat down with Diego , I knew that he was passionate about what he does and that my basement Reno was in good hands.He has surrounded himself with an impeccable team and the work they do is something that will truly amaze you .Where other companies were requiring that i take care of the permits, Diego put my fears at ease and handled it all , so that I wouldn’t have to.From moving ducts around so that I may have a cleaner ceiling look to extending my accent wall so that the tv does not cover it all, Diego really makes sure that you will be completely satisfied with the finished product.We couldn’t be happier with how our basement came out.A huge Thank You to Diego and the entire Harmony Basements Family for making this project so easy on us and for having us grin from ear to ear with the finished product.
In 2024, they renovated our 2,000 sq. ft. space into a beautiful suite with a bedroom, walk-in closet, full bath, studio/gym, large storage, living-dining area, laundry, and direct garage access—all within six weeks, as promised.From the start, architect-owner Diego impressed us. He spent hours designing our layout, offered smart advice on function and budget, and delivered a 3D design that fit our lifestyle. His attention to detail—from switch placements to structural integrity—shows his professionalism and experience.A special thank you Roy, the site manager! He far exceeded our expectations; pleasant, knowledgeable, respectful, experienced, and structurally sound. He was very patient with our questions about minor details such as heights of towel rods and mirror! Roy went out of his way to personally make the project successful! Our confidence in Harmony was 100% enhanced by Roy's almost daily presence and his long hours to meet the timeline.Thanks as well to:- Arturo for precise framing and perfect bulkheads and drywalling- Jimmy for high-quality painting—even on weekends- Sasha for her reliable daily coordination- Stephany, our designer, for her current and patient design choicesThe entire crew was respectful, timely, tidy, and efficient. They cleaned up daily, and even hired professional cleaners for the final day—something other companies don’t provide.Diego runs Harmony with honesty, transparency, and no surprises or extras. He even followed up personally on a kitchen cabinet issue within 24 hours. We never once had to chase them after payment, and he stayed just as helpful after the project ended.I’m 110% satisfied with the results of this project. From the design build to the handing over, we were totally happy we picked Harmony for the excellent quality of their work. We will definitely rehire them in the future for any renovation needs.
Harmony Basements understands what it means to exceed expectations. We asked them to come and quote us for completely finishing our basement that included a wet bar, 3 piece bath, and podcast studio. Other contractors that we asked for quotes provided one after a 30 minute inspection of the house.Diego spent approximately 3 hours working on the quote at our home, which resulted in a 3D walkthrough and 3 different layout options of what the finished product would look like. His attention to detail, and work put into the quote, as well as his willingness to be flexible on price gave us the confidence to go with him and his team.Add to that, that we had a very tight timeline of exactly 6 weeks, his team of specialized contractors put in the extra hours and weekends to ensure that the project was completed with time to SPARE which served to help us immensely in getting our studio ready for broadcast.There were issues with getting the permit and later some electrical issues, which Diego and his team addressed promptly without having to chase them which was very refreshing to see.In the end, we are 100% satisfied with the result of the build. From design, to the friendliness of his people, to the quality and speed of the work, you would be missing out if you did NOT use Harmony Basements for your needs.They are truly in a class all on their own.
We loved working with Diego, Roy and everyone from Harmony Basements. From our initial meeting with Diego it was clear who we were going to choose for our basement renovation. Several times I thought we may have encountered something that would stretch our initial timeline, but if longer days were required then that’s what happened to keep it on time. Always available, clear communication and planning, good people. You won’t be disappointed choosing Harmony for your project.
