Finished basement with home theater, playroom, storage and full bath plus a remodeled full bath upstairs"My husband and I saw one of Rob's advertisement signs by Lowe's. We already had three other estimates that were all pretty much the same price. We decided to get one more and called Rob. Rob showed up for our estimate and immediately gave us a reference list and gave us an idea of the approximate cost per square foot. We trusted him from day one and the biggest bonus was that his estimate was well under the others!
As far as the construction process, it went very smoothly. We loved Rob's team. They were knowledgeable, trustworthy, considerate and very polite. They made great recommendations and some of those recommendations saved us money!
The end product is gorgeous! It flows beautifully from the rest of the house. We absolutely love it! We have told everyone we know about Rob and his team. We have even called had his guys back to do other work on our house. What a terrific group of men and women Rob has assembled! And Rob is the best!"

Bathroom RemodelWe recently worked with
www.TheFinishedBasement.Net to renovate our bathroom. The previous owner’s 70s décor and oddly placed shower window had seen better days. With my wife being 7 months pregnant and a potty-training two-year to boot, we were really nervous about renovating the only bathroom in our house. Maybe our worries would have been justified with a normal contractor, but working with Rob Meader is anything but normal. He’s the concierge-level of contractors. From the first time we contacted Rob, to his final walk-through to make sure we were happy, he was honest, efficient and remarkably skilled. He worked with us to come up with novel solutions to our space’s problems and he diligently minimized the renovation’s disruption on my family. The quality of the finished product was beyond our expectations. Not only is Rob the best, but he has the best craftsmen on the South Shore!
We could not be happier with our bathroom and will without a doubt use
www.TheFinishedBasement.Net for our next project.

Finished Basement: Kid’s craft & play area, full wet bar, Gas fireplace, full bath, living room with home theaterWe’d like to thank Rob and his team very much for all of the great work they did finishing our basement, we are extremely happy with the end product! We came across Rob through his ad in the Boston Globe and contacted him for an estimate. To our surprise he was able to stop by that very day. We found him to be very prompt, professional, personable, full of great ideas, as well as competitively priced. In addition, he was able to deliver on some major work that other estimating contractors said they would be unable to accomplish—Thanks again for being able to remove those poles!
With our busy schedules we liked the idea we could communicate with Rob via email and he was very timely returning all messages. Rob along with all of his guys were awesome to work with and quite accommodating with any changes we made along the way. We are very happy to recommend Rob Meader and his team. He’s made our finished basement an extension of the rest of our home - Thank You!

Finished Basement
Family RoomWe found Rob Meader through an ad in the Boston Globe. Our experience working with Rob and his crew was great from start to finish. From planning the job and understanding the building code requirements, to the work process itself, and dealing with the inevitable changes and surprises that arise, Rob and his crew were true professionals and a pleasure to deal with throughout.
The quality of the work was excellent as well, and our kids, family and friends use the new space constantly. We love the new room and it is definitely teen proof.

Master Bedroom & Master BathroomAfter waiting months for our first contractor to just get started, we were jealous of the progress Rob was making on my sister’s addition. Afraid of going “from the frying pan into the fire”, we called him about our Master Bedroom Suite He was prompt, courteous and well-informed at our first meeting. “Schedule” and “Budget” weren’t foreign concepts. Our skepticism evaporated.
We simply cannot say enough about the professionalism with which Rob and his team approached our project and the pride they took in excellent workmanship. The project ran smoothly with subs showing up on time and cleaning up before they left each day.
We were so thrilled with our addition that we threw a party to introduce Rob to our friends, should they ever think of doing any construction.
There isn’t a day that goes by without our thinking what a gorgeous space he and his team from
www.TheFinishedBasement.Net created for us.

New KitchenRob and his team created a kitchen in my house that exceeded our family’s expectations. They took the basic idea of what we wanted and came back with a design plan that we absolutely loved. They worked with us to help pick out just the right cabinets, countertops and appliances – and gave us really great direction to create a kitchen that is timeless in appearance and a wonderful place for our family to gather. Their workers were clean and courteous and the installation of everything went smoother and faster than we expected. We highly recommend Rob and his team.”

Finished Basement, Gym and WorkroomWhen we decided to finish our basement we intended to obtain three quotes. Since Rob Meader had contacted us directly, we started with him. We found Rob to be professional, intelligent and a gentleman and we felt an instant trust and rapport with him. His quote was reasonable and we were so impressed we decided to look no further. It was a good decision!
We had an idea of how we wanted to divide the space, but working with Rob brought the design to a whole other level. Rob kept us informed of the progress as he kept the project moving. He came in on budget and on time. We were particularly impressed with the quality of Rob’s crew. Without exception they were courteous, engaging and considerate and their work was top-notch.
The outcome was dramatic – a finished project that far exceeded our expectations. The space is classy, bright and cozy and not at all a run-of-the-mill basement makeover. All who see it are impressed and it has become a wonderful extension of our home.

Finished Basement/Pine HillsWe had not considered having our basement finished until I saw the construction work Rob Meader was doing at Don and Maggie’s house in the Pine Hills. My wife and I immediately decided we should so something similar – using the same contractor as they were using. Rob was a real pleasure to work with. He was able to take our ideas for the basement and make them a reality for the finished product – the cedar closet under the stairs, built-in bookcase and cabinets in the office area, the half wall, and the bar area. His team of skilled contractors was top-notch. Unlike many stories you hear about contractors, they showed up on time and cleaned up before they left. This added about 1000 sq ft of new living space for us. Even though we already had more than adequate living space in our home, having such an exceptional finished basement has really completed our retirement dream house. We are extremely pleased with the finished product, as it gives us a great area for entertaining, allowing a place for the grandchildren to run around, and a home theater set up for continual enjoyment.

Office, Full Bath and Media RoomMy husband and I are more than thrilled that we decided to hire Rob to do our basement construction. We saw his ad in the newspaper and figured it wouldn’t hurt to get his estimate along with the other one we had. Much to our delight, Rob came in several thousand dollars less without eliminating the high quality we insisted upon. I must add that while his estimate was a contributing factor in our decision-making process, his personality, intelligence, and “trustability” came through loud and clear and clinched the deal. The people that work for Rob were wonderful. To a person, they were polite, not too noisy, very knowledgeable, and considerate of our privacy. What a great bunch of folks he has on his team! We made several adjustments and changes as we went along and Rob and his workers were happy to accommodate us and even made some suggestions that saved us some money to boot! As for the finished product, we couldn’t be happier. We have a wonderful area where we can entertain, watch movies, and play with our grandchildren. Also, Don’s new office is a place where he can enjoy his workday and feel very comfortable and stress-free. I hate to even call it the basement because it is now so much a part of the house that we need to think of another name for this fabulous new living space! Rob is a true delight and a real class act. We’re actually going to miss him!

Finished BasementWe recently decided to finish our basement and are so happy that we hired Rob Meader for the job. We found him through an advertisement in the Sunday Globe. We were not sure what to expect, but Rob was extremely professional, courteous, and personable. He had great attention to detail and was very accommodating to the changes we wanted along the way. The project was reasonably priced and completed much earlier than we anticipated. There were not the endless delays that you often hear of with contractors. He addressed all of our concerns and kept the project running smoothly with his team. We love our new room and our one year-old daughter loves her new play area. We would definitely recommend Rob to our friends and family.

Finished BasementWe recently bought our first home and wanted someone to finish our basement. Upon finding Rob Meader through Craig’s List, we took a gamble and it paid off big time! We contacted Rob and he gave us a great price. Not only is he professional to work with but very personable as well. We immediately felt comfortable with him from the start. We are very happy with the results.
We want to thank Rob and his team for the fantastic job they did on our basement project. The finished basement looks wonderful and the change is absolutely dramatic. Once dark and dreary, it is now bright, warm, and cozy. The attention to detail was amazing and their ability to accommodate our requests during the project was second to none.
His recommendations were excellent and right on the mark. It was those little extra touches that made the finished product so unique. His team of workers were professional, courteous and accommodating. We've been receiving glowing compliments from our family and friends. We highly recommend Rob Meader and will definitely be contacting him for future remodeling projects.
Thanks so much!

Addition Discard your usual "contractor" low expectations when dealing with Rob. We can actually say this was the first time it was actually a pleasure going through the construction process. In fact, after watching the smooth progress and great work on our house, my sister is now delighted to have Rob working on her addition. We cannot say enough about Rob's attention to detail, follow through, and communication skills. And most importantly, he's a man of his word - not something you see everyday any more. We're delighted we found him.

Finished BasementRob Meader’s team recently completed a finished basement for our family. The project ended up being just under 1600 sq ft, so needless to say it was more complex than a standard finished basement room. Rob was always professional and courteous, and addressed any concerns promptly. Although we had visions of what the space would look like, it actually looked better than we had anticipated. Our home is only about 4 years old, and Rob paid special attention to making the finish work match that of the main house. It is really a pretty seamless transition from the 1st floor to the basement- which really doesn’t even feel like a basement anymore. I would be happy to recommend Rob Meader and his team.

Kitchen RemodelWe are so happy we called
www.TheFinishedBasement.Net and hired them to do our kitchen! We were new to New England and needed to remodel our house. We received many references from neighbors and newly met friends. After receiving unsatisfactory quotes and lacking a confidence in those with whom we spoke, we decided to go it alone.
The professionalism that the guys from
www.TheFinishedBasement.Net exuded was evident from the get-go. Phone calls were returned immediately and inquiries were answered quickly. They defied the stereotypical general contractor that we had seen so many times before. His team of electricians, plumbers, and carpenters showed up when promised. Any problems that arose were addressed as soon as possible.
Our kitchen is twice as big as it was before and the cabinets and countertops are of high quality but reasonably priced! The quality of work was unmatched and our expectations surpassed.
We love our new kitchen! Thank You!
