We have just started our renovation with Harmony. We found Harmony through Google while searching for companies that use Magnesium Oxide boards in the basement where moisture can be a problem (i.e. no wood and regular drywall).
On our first meeting, Diego and Lawrence came to our house. After a few hours, we were able to go through an iterative process of making changes to the design and the virtual tour of our new basement on Diego's computer.
On top of the steel framing and Magnesium oxide boards, they also:
1) Use R22 mold-free insulation (we did not see this with any of the other contractors. Some contractors were even going to keep the old insulation we had on top and add to the bottom. Harmony removed the old insulation)
2) Use Torlys Vinal with mold free cork.
3) Have a beautiful Custom Glass shower option.
4) Permits. They get both electrical and building permits (Building permits too). They don't take shortcuts.
5) Offer a lifetime warranty.
I signed with them on the first night. We did get cheaper offers, but we plan to live in this house for the rest of our lives and we wanted the highest quality.
After this I met Leo. Leo has more experience in building homes than anyone I have ever met. He is clear and drives results. His team that we have met so far (Roberto, Pedro, Ron, Eugene, Sasha and Victor) have been amazing.
We have just started, but I am sure we will end of with a perfect basement. We will definitely post pictures and a final review when we are finished the project.

Hi Jason, thanks for the comments!
Our design consultants' goal is not only to provide our clients with a great design but also to educate them about the disadvantages of using conventional building materials (typically used by builders and other contractors in basements). We are proud to be a basement renovation contractor that really cares about the environment, one of the few out there that does all basement projects with building permits and probably the only one offering a lifetime warranty.
As you mentioned before we're not the cheapest, that's right, we are not for everybody. We are for smart and sophisticated homeowners like yourself who really care about their families and their investment.
Thanks for complimenting our incredible team, especially about the general manager Leo, his focus is getting things right the first time!
Enjoy the journey and thanks again for your business!
