One of the worst basement contractors. They were recommended to me by a friend they were really good before and new management has taken over since the pandemic, now they They will try to ask for ever penny for simple stuff that they said would be in the contract. Even if they offer you a good deal I wouldnt go with them they will lie cheat and scam. They have fake reviews to give them good ratings dont go by homestars

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

Very disappointed with the whole basement renovation. Poor lack of vision, terrible project management, poor workmanship by most of their contractors (drywallers, painters, flooring, plumbers). For the money I paid I was expecting better quality products and attention to detail. We had to pay for a lot of upgrades just to get some quality products installed. I would advise anyone who is thinking of using this company for basement renovation to be home during the entire renovation process as you will need to keep a close eye on the workmanship of the contractors. They will conveniently forget to

EDIT:
Reduced from what was an extremely fair if not generous 3 stars to reflect the hostile and outright dishonest way in which they respond to customers.
RESPONSE TO OWNER:
1. At no time did I warn or threaten a negative review if damages were not fixed.
2. Why would I contact and expect you to fix the smaller issues that weren't fixed when they were pointed out in the final inspection?
3.
As I clearly stated in my original review, the shower leak was behind the drywall. As such, there was no indication of the leak until the mould worked its way through the baseboards.
