  • We hired Chris to finish our basement in Natick. Throughout the whole process Chris and his team were helpful, informative, and flexible. They took our initial plan and helped us turn it into reality by customizing our layout and offering creative ideas. We would recommend CJO Builders (Basement Theory) to anyone looking for an honest and reliable builder

  • I don't think I can even begin to even do justice with this review. The work performed was second to none. I was astounded by the attention to detail during the week that they were at my home refurbishing my bathroom. I went into it thinking it was a basic lipstick on a pig job, but I've been left with an absolutely marvelous bathroom. I had previously been let down by numerous contractors or priced out when getting quotes. The entire week I was kept completely up to date on the timelines for each stage. Each sub contractor was also very transparent with regard to any issues they faced or just giving a summary of the work they performed each day.
