Mark Gibbons finished our basement and enclosed our upstairs loft. We couldn't be more happy! He creatively designed the spaces to include what we wanted and stay within our budget. Mark did much of the work himself and was on sight daily. He is very detail oriented, produced high quality work, and expected/insured the same from his contractors. We made a couple changes mid project, and he made the adjustments without additional cost or grumbling! All phone calls and emails were answered same day, often times within the hour, and the project was finished before the estimated completion date. We both work and were not home during the day through most of the project. It was a relief not to worry and to come home to a tidy, clean, and safe work area. Give Mark a call!

We hired Castle Pines Basement Co. (Mark Gibbons) to finish our 1000 sq ft. basement. Mark's professionalism and attention to detail surpassed our expectations. Mark took the design we had developed, improved it and then executed the plan beautifully. Mark was at our home daily overseeing the work and ensuring our place was kept in good order throughout the process. We love our new basemement and would highly recommend Mark's company for anyone looking to finish their basement.

Mark Gibbons of Castle Pines Basement Company has been a delight to work with. Mark does high quality work himself and the sub contractors he uses are individuals you feel comfortable having in your home. His prices are extremely competitive with other basement finishing companies and he is flexible and patient while working through the many decisions that need to be made. We designed the floor plan ourselves, but Mark made sure the end result stayed true to the architecture of our home. He takes great pride in his work and keeps a spotless construction site. If something is not right or done to satisfaction, Mark will fix it. We had one issue with the AV person and Mark helped to resolve the problem by bringing in another AV person who ended up fixing the system at no cost. I am happy to say our basement is now the lower level.
Quality work and a good experience. We are truly loving our new space and will definitely call on Mark for other renovations in our home!

We have friends that have told us horror stories about their inexpensive "basement guy" that sounded great when things got started, but quickly went south when the work got going. We decided to go with an established local contractor that we felt would be trustworthy and do a great job for the money. We're SO glad we found Mark and Castle Pines Basement Company! His bid was extremely competetive with another established builder in the neighborhood. He was flexible, available, and very easy to work with. He beat every deadline and left a spotless work area during construction. His subs were professional and courteous, and they all entered the basement from a garden level window...and even used a port-a-potty next to our driveway!
The finished product is OUTSTANDING - Plain and simple. We've had tons of compliments from EVERYONE that has come over to see the space. We had a design previously done before meeting with Mark. He worked with that design really well, and he and his carpenter even made some improvement tweaks that made a nice difference.
Over-all...Just a GREAT job.

I listed my house in CPN for sale in March, 2006. After 100+ showings, and six months on the market, and no contract I took it off the market. From feedback, I determined I needed to re-do my basement. It had originally been completed by the builder, but had a miserable floor plan.
I contacted a basement finishing company and got a bid for "improvements." I was horrified at the price, and tried to negotiate with them. After several weeks, my realtor suggested that I call Scott at American Basement Company.
He came over and reviewed my original plan and then made the suggestion to demo the orginal plan and start over. Of course, I was anxious to hear his bid. His bid was under the other company and for a much bigger job. The workmanship was outstanding. I went from having a 600 sf partially finished basement, to a 1000 sf fully finished masterpiece. They completed the work ahead of schedule and under budget!
I put my house on the market the following spring and had it sold in 90 days...all because of the basement!
Now, I am having him finish my basement in my new home. There wasn't a doubt in my mind who I would hire for the job; I called my old friend, Scott Stephens as I knew he would do a great job.

Scott Stephens and American Basement Company finished our basement in the Fall of 2005. We have been extremely pleased with the results and have received countless compliments over the years. We recently listed our house for sale and we had some areas from normal wear and tear that needed attention. We called Scott for one of his contractors to come in and make the repairs. Within one week the problem areas were fixed, looking like new and Scott performed the work at no cost to us. Just one more example of Scott and his team going above and beyond to ensure his clients are happy! We strongly encourage you to consider American Basement Company for your basement finishing project.

We looked at several contractors and decided on using Mark Gibbons because he had the fairest pricing and cut through all of the unecessary fluff. We could not be happier. Mark and his contractors were very professional and the process was seemless. We made several last minute changes and Mark worked with us to make sure we were happy with the result. Mark completed a beautiful space! We would recommend Castle Pines Basement a hundred times over.

Our first thought was to design our basement with the thought that Norma s mother would come to live with us. We got three designs and decided to engage Mark Gibbons of Castle Pines Basement Company to do the job. We are so glad we made that decision, and we highly recommend him and the people who work with him in his company. We ve had many people visit the finished project, and all have seen the results of a professional and beautiful job well done! Mark was a hands-on contractor who kept us informed, in person as well as by emails, in a timely manner. He responded to our every request and contributed great ideas. He saw possibilities and ran interference for us every step of the way, and we ended up with a great basement we now live in! It s perfect for Norma s craft projects, Billy s office, entertaining, and guest quarters. We are so proud of it, and we thank Mark every day for a great job well done. Mark! Don t pass up calling on Castle Pines Basement Company for a bid on your basement project!

We pondered the idea of taking another yearly vacation, but decided to stay put this year and treat ourselves to a finished basement. We interviewed a couple of basement companies and our choice was Castle Pines Basement Co. Mark was very knowledgeable, had great ideas for the space in the basement, and pricing came in very affordable. We were concentrating on a place for the kids to hang out with all their friends(game area, awesome TV area,wet bar, bed and bath.Kids are having a blast and In-Laws love coming to town.Thoroughly enjoyed having Mark and his company construct our new living space.Thanks Mark.

We were very delighted when Mark at Castle Pines Basement Co. stopped by to give us a bid on finishing our basement. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He educated us and gave us some great ideals and possibilities with what to do with the space. Once the work started, we were amazed at their attention to detail and the quality of there workmanship. The subcontractors were a joy and very pleasant to have in the house. The basement was cleaned daily and Mark kept us up to date every step of the way. Mark's vendors were also great to work with. Mark's bid included features other companies were going to charge for. Great experience with a great local company.

We obtained bids from three local companies after seeing positive reviews on all of them. The bids varied and we chose the highest one and were we glad we did. American Basement Company completed our new basement before the scheduled finish and the completed job is incredible. We learned quickly why ABC bid the highest as from the start they were over the top in professionalism. Our basement was individually designed and put into 3D for our modification. Plans were then created using this model with features added and taken away to fit our budget. They then commenced work within a day of signing the contract and went non stop for two months sometimes even working on the weekend. We were able to trust all there workers with our home while away working and they were tidy, cleaning up every day. Tom the job foreman was on top of every detail and always reachable. He was in contact daily with an updated progress report and schedule. The finished product is impecable and really outshines the original work on our home. However, it fits in so well there is no way to tell is an addtion. This company is easy and pleasant to work with and is local. Our family strongly recommends calling Scott Stevens, a local resdident, and making an appointment to discuss any basement additions. It was worth the highest bid as we received the highest quality product in return!

We purchased our home a couple of years ago which already had a finished basement. We weren't crazy about the layout and some of the construction in the basement. Unfortunately,we had a sprinkler pipe break near the foundation and the water had gotten into the basement. Insurance took care of the clean up, but we thought this may be a great time to change the layout of the basement. We contacted Mark at Castle Pines Basement Co. to see if he would consider taking on a project like this, so glad he said yes. He had great ideals which required some major demolition.The new planned layout was awesome, it made much more since. Mark's crews were very professional, courteous, and polite to be around. Even the vendors that Mark works with were wonderful. Picking out carpet, tile, and cabinets was effortless. We really do enjoy our new space and the kids have a great place to hang out.

We had a generally good experience with Castle Pines Basement Company. Mark did a great job desigining our space, which wasn't that big. He was able to make the area functional, and convenient. Great play space and guest room. Mark adapted well to our changes as we went through the process, and changed our minds about what we wanted. He was quick to recognize when something wasn't done right, and responded to get it fixed.
Our only criticism is that at times, several days would go by without an update on why no work was being done that day or that week. Seemed like the project could have gotten done quicker than it did.

Could't wait to move into Castle Pines into our perfect house. We needed to get the basement finished and really wanted to hire a local company. We did alot of research and calling around for referrals and hired Castle Pines Basement Co. So glad we did. Mark and his crews were outstanding to work with and had such a finesse about them, we couldn't be happier. The basement is such a fun place, we hardly make it back to the main level. I couldn't say enough about Mark and the level of experience he and his people bring to the table. Great job guys!

We highly recommend Scott Stephens and the American Basement Company. After talking with numerous other contractors we loved ABC's approach and had Scott draw up a design for our basement. The program they have allows you to see how your finished basement will look in 3D from any view or angle. Trying to visualize what the completed project will look like from 2 dimensional drawings can be quite difficult. We were able to then make a few tweaks to the design with Scott in his office and see the changes immediately on the big screen TV.
American Basement Company has their own showroom where you go to pick out all of your carpet, paint, granite, cabinets, tile, etc. from a huge selection of quality materials. This was very convenient and made choosing color schemes much easier. No running all over town trying to put things together. This isn't your average contractor. These guys really know how to turn your basement into the place you will spend the majority of your time. They also have vendors that can make your dream wine room, home theater, steam shower, etc. Live a little right?
Communication was excellent throughout the project. There were weekly phone and e-mail updates as far as what work was going to be completed that week and when milestones would be reached. Our project manager was in constant contact with us. No wondering what was going on. This was an extremely important aspect of it for us. We didn't want to be left hanging and ABC didn't let us down. Our project was completed on time and at the quoted price.
We were also very pleased with all of the subcontractors that ABC uses. Courteous, timely, and professional with excellent quality work throughout. Daily cleanup and trash removal made for a safe and clean project.
We have had a few parties since completion and everyone raves about our basement. If you are considering having your basement finished give us a call 303-862-9387. We are happy to show off the outstanding work that American Basement Company did for us.

We hired Scott Stephens of American Basement Company to finish our basement. He sat down with us, listened to our requirements and then prepared a design (3-D rendering)which exceeded our requirements. The design fits our current as well as future needs.
While constructing the basement, our main floor was kept clean and useable during the construction phase. He provided excellent responses to our questions and modifications.
Everyone who has seen our finished basement says the workmanship and design are outstanding. The project was on budget and on time.
Before making a decision to hire another contractor, meet with American Basement Company. You will be pleased with their professionalism and quality of work at reasonable prices.

American Basement Company ROCKS!!!! Scott Stephens and his team helped us create the basement of our dreams and utilized every inch of space so our basement looked architecturally cool but fully functional for our family. They came with unique ideas and a professional team. We shopped around on price, but when it came down to it, American Basement Company included high quality standards in our basement bid, not as costs that I did not anticipate and would have to pay for separately like carpet, tile, nice door hardware or nice plumbing hardware etc.
We AUTOMATICALLY got "high-end" standard components such as crown molding, antique bronze hardware on Delta faucets, double-stepped soffits and rope lighting -- plus we have wrapped window casings as a standard rather than the usual drywall. I even chose quality carpet as a basic that was better than the one I chose through Village Homes (it would have been considered an upgrade by Village). And this was in my basic cost -- not additional costs that came up later! It's those touches that make a complete difference in the beauty of my basement without eating up my budget after the fact.
I saved so much TIME by using their "one-stop-shop" showroom to pick my tile, carpet, cabinets, etc.... I did not have to go looking for the things I loved all over town -- they had them all in their showroom. Plus, they are a Merrillat distributor and that let us put top rate cabinets at a price we could swallow. They have such excellent relationships with their distributors, that I was also able to add nice custom touches like granite and a home theatre at an affordable price.
The vendors they used were friendly and helpful and they cleaned up debris on the spot, rather than putting a dumpster on my driveway. I believe in supporting local businesses, we are lucky to have a pro like Scott living here in Castle Rock. Please contact us if you want to hear more at 303-488-9466.

We had Mark refinish our finished basement. Before it made no sense and now it is a great open area for entertaining complete with wet bar.
He had great ideas and worked with me to complete my vision. When that meant changing my mind a few times and adding almost double the work, he was very patient and accommodating.
Our basement looks like it's always been as it is now and we couldn't be more pleased. I would be happy to show off his work and/or discuss the process and the final product (303.593.1181)
We would recommend Castle Pines Basement Company to anyone planning a renovation in their home (even if it isn't in the basement). We'll be using Mark again in the future!

We chose Castle Pines Basement without even looking anywhere else. Mark lives in the community and has many outstanding reviews from people in our community. Because of his integrity we knew from the start that we could trust him with our money, to get the job done right and on time, and to have access to our home. The job was done in the time specified and the work moved along quickly and efficiently. The best thing is that our basement was always swept and cleaned up before the contractors left for the day. Mark was frequently on hand and easy to get ahold of.
We were concerned how our basement would turn out since it is a partial basement, completely underground, with low ceilings otherwise known as "the dungeon". Mark's design exceeded what we visualized at the initial stage. Mark conveyed the importance of carrying the look of the upstairs into the downstairs so that the finished basement looks consistent with the rest of the house. We have already entertained a number of times. Our basement is now a warm, casual, and comfortable place where our guests feel at home and welcome.
We miss having Mark around. He was like a part of the family since he was part of our daily routine for months. You couldn't ask for a friedlier guy to be around every day. Thanks Mark!

We especially love that we were able to incorporate all of our wants/needs into the space!

We spent several weeks interviewing potential basement builders, and after much research, it was an easy decision to go with the experience, quality and value of ABC. The work done was of the very highest quality, and they listened to our needs all along the way. They did not leave before they were certain we were completely overjoyed. We knew when we hired them, we were getting the best, but they completely exceeded our expectations. We had no idea that our basement would be this nice. Our family is now making reservations to come stay in the best part of our house.

NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP 2010
July of 2006
We were recently finishing our basement and I decided to use Douglas Lumber because they are based out of Castle Rock and wanted to use a local business. When I originally used them I was satisfied. The second time, I called in to explain the doors I had oredered were the wrong size. The owner, Larry, would not let me speak and only continued to interupt me. After I faxed him my notes that were correct, he told me I had faxed in a different not sheet. Clearly he needed yet another excuse to justify his mistake. He kept explaining that he had "done this (sold lumber)" for years and that he didn't make these kinds of mistakes. I asked how he got one door correct if this was totally my fault, and he said "because that's the measurement you gave me." So, I am still unclear how I could give him one correct measurement and three wrong after he told me I got him the correct measurements. He said he was not going to argue, I told him if he could not have an adult conversation that he could not blame me either. His exact words were, "I am going to blame you." I would recommmend not using this company if you expect any kind of appropriate customer service.
