"As an electrical inspector, I see hundreds of basements a year going through the process of being finished to a living space. I also have the opportunity of not only seeing multiple contractors, such as Ebcon Services, who do the whole project themselves (soup to nuts), but also homeowners who try to accomplish the task on their own to try to save some money. After seeing the final product from many other contractors and "do-it-yourselfers" not being up to my personal standards, I realized Ebcon was the best choice for me and my family. Over the years, I have seen more than thirty basements that Eric and Ebcon have finished, and have always been impressed with the end result. The same was true with my basement. Eric pays very close attention to the smallest of details and is very clean and thorough. If given the same choice again, I would make the same decision."

"From our first meeting to dicuss our basement remodel, it was clear Eric felt as though he had a personal stake in the successful transformation of our basement. He is involved in every step from design to completion and, as such, the job was managed and completed with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. In addition, he was very open to changes in the design as the project progressed. The result was a room with a finish that exceeds most new construction standards Such flexibility, professionalism and attention to detail is a rare find these days." Chris (Warrington)
"Just wanted to drop you a long overdue note to thank you for the fantastic job you did on our basement. We couldn't be more pleased. Before we met with you, we had considered hiring an architect to lay out plans for us, but you made that unnecessary. We have worked with several contractors, and you were the most professional, by far. You showed up when you said (imagine that!) and completed each stage on schedule. Pricing was up-front and there were no hidden charges. We have had several people over to the house since the work was complete and they all marvel at what a wonderful job you did, especially with the bar. We have since recommended EBCON to several people and will continue to sing your praises. Thanks again."

"Hi, Amy and Eric ..." (Casual chat deleted) "... We love our basement and it is a treat for us to spend time down there every day! Eric and his staff are very professional and we knew from the moment we met Eric, he was the right person for the job. Thanks!" - Edie Robinson (Warrington)
"Pretty much a five-star contractor. If he posts photos of this job, they will look good, but won't really do it justice. The work is near impeccable. Although the price was a bit higher than other contractor's quotes, I felt Eric was the right guy for this project. He handled a lot of unexpected things on this project, especially with the custom stuff I had planned. The old cliche states 'You get what you pay for.' If you go for the cheap way out, you'll likely end up with an average job. This project ended up perfect. I got what I paid for, and more."

"We are extremely happy with our new basement. They did a great job! It went from a dark, cold cellar to a warm, cozy family room. At first, we had little expectations for the space, and now we're thrilled. Instead of just being a play room for the kids, we ended up incorporating a media room for us, too. The attention to detail is phenomenal, and Eric is on site every day, overseeing that everything goes as planned. Our home is older and ended up needing quite a few 'custom' pieces. We couldn't have asked for a better crew here, and are so glad to have gotten EBCON's name!"
~ Eric Reithmiller (Glenside)
"We had an unfinished basement in our townhome that I had been thinking about turning into an extra room. Eric gave me some great ideas as to what could be done, but the finished product blew me away! Even though it was a smaller job, I really appreciated that he took the time to take care of every little detail. I would highly recommend Eric and EBCON to anyone considering a project."

We received this letter from a Customer:
"Dear Eric,
When we started the process of looking for quality service and craftsmanship for our basement project, we looked around the neighborhood and always noticed your signs popping up on the lawns. This always triggered Laura and I to converse about our plans to finish the basement in our house. With a 3-year-old and another on the way, we saw the toys, books, and other games piling up in our family room, and so we finally decided in 2005 that we were going to move forward with the grand plans to make our underground space habitable for us and the children. We instantly thought about you and your business as one of the contractors we would reach out to for advice and an estimate.
From the first day we met, we knew that you were very confident with your work and the ideas that you have shared with other customers. We noticed your passion for the work that you performed and we sensed the pride and personal touch you could offer. We did investigate two other contractors -- one which we definitely were sure we would not contract with after the first five minutes, and the other was referred to us from a friend of mine. I was confident that this contractor could do a fine job and was very responsible, so I needed to determine how we were going to decide which contractor we wanted to carry out our plans. After consulting with a few neighbors, we received some great feedback that was able to help sway our opinion.
Once we determined that EBCON Services was the right choice for us, we spoke on numerous occasions in order to share ideas, walk through the basement, outline the details of the contract, answer questions, etc. Each time you were easy to talk to and willing to spend the time to make sure we were comfortable with the work we were going to ask you to perform. We definitely appreciated this time up front in the process.
During the construction phase, we were pleased with the cleanliness, attention to detail, and ideas that you presented as you worked each day. Regarding any type of change, you were able to explain the reasons for doing it another way, present us with the associated costs, and allow us to make a decision about the direction we wanted to take without pressuring us. Additionally, the subcontractors that you utilized were always courteous and professional, as was your assistant Tom.
The most talked about touch you suggested and added to our basement were the three distinctive archways. First-time visitors are quick to point this feature out and how much they really like it. We are now able to enjoy our time in another portion of the house as a family, as well as a space to entertain for parties and card nights with friends. So, we would like to thank you and EBCON Services for the work that was performed in 2005.
Sincerely, Vince DeFlavia" (Collegeville)
"The work done on my basement was first class. I found Eric easy to deal with, up front about both costs and changes, and flexible with the plan as you
progress. I felt comfortable with him in my home and he left it clean each day as he finished. My basement has been the envy of my neighbors and they often
comment on the quality of the work that has been completed here. If you're looking for a quality job, with fair pricing and the result you're looking for, EBCON is the company to align yourself with."

Ratings from YellowPages.com:
Rated Five Stars - "Exceptional" "Smarter Than Your Average Contractor"
"We had our basement finished by EBCON last year, and every time I go down those steps, I am still amazed at the design and the quality of the work. The job was managed professionally from start to finish. It really exceeded our expectations. EBCON will work with you on your basement design and recommend different options that you might have not considered that are practical and look great. He keeps it simple." - Jim McDermott (The Ridings at Warrington Hunt East)

Mary also emailed this response when a potential customer asked her for a reference:
"I interviewed five contractors before meeting Eric. He was recommended to us by a mutual friend. He was the only contractor that I met that had any creativity. The architectural details that he put into our basement are incredible. When people come over to see our basement (we actually call it our lower level) they cannot believe how beautiful it is. His price was slightly higher than some of the other contractors, but he had some great ideas and we too felt comfortable with him. He and his employees were so great to work with; Eric is incredibly meticulous and neat!!! I highly recommend Eric. His work product is outstanding. We live in Warrington and you are welcome to come see our basement if you would like."
"Eric Boyer recently finished part of my basement for me. He did a great job! I am very pleased with his work. He only had one other guy working for him at the time, and they were both very professional and easy to get along with. They did a good job cleaning up after themselves, also.
Eric is a bit of a perfectionist, which was great for me, because I am a bit of a perfectionist myself. I think we worked very well together in coming up with a design for my basement, and then modifying the original design based on my needs, the space available, and my budget. He was easy to talk to and listened to my ideas and we came up with a design that we both liked. He has very good ideas and a good vision for the space he has to work with. I highly recommend Eric for the job." - Colette Burke (Perkasie)
Email from Craig Dempsey to past customers Manny & Geri Jardim:
"Hi. Eric Boyer lists you as one of the many basements that he and his company have finished. My wife and I are seriously considering using him to finish our basement in Furlong. We like his architectural ideas, his energy, and passion for his work. His price is a little above a couple of other contractors we've talked to and about in line with another; however, we feel comfortable with him and think he'll do the best job. I was wondering if you could take a few minutes to answer some questions about the work he has or is doing for you.
- Most importantly, are you very happy, somewhat happy, or disappointed with the overall experience, including the quality of work, construction process, and finished appearance?
We are absolutely thrilled with the end results! Very happy that we went with Eric. He was the "middle" price, but well worth it. (Jardim's responses in blue)
- Were all post-contract changes handled farily (mainly from a price standpoint) and to your satisfaction?
We could not have asked for a more fair contractor ..... honestly.
- Were he and his employees considerate and easy to work with during construction?
I feel Eric is the best, and his employees are definitely good -- but Eric was here to oversee the job, which was very important to us.
- How did you find out about EBCON (advertisements, referral, etc.)?
Advertisement (mailing) and then we, too, checked lots of his references.
- Finally, if you had it to do all over again, would you use EBCON or try someone else?
I don't think I even have to answer this question. We are going to have Eric do future work for us. That says it all. He is one of the best contractors we have ever used!
PS ... People in our community cannot believe how beautiful our basement turned out (those who had their basements finished by others)."
