  • “Tim and Andy were amazing! They recently finished our basement and we couldn’t be happier with how the project came out. They were open to creative ideas and seemed genuinely excited for our unique ask of finishing our crawl space into a kids playroom. We also appreciated their communication and how respectful they were of our home. We were so impressed with how each day they tidied up their work space and buttoned up their tools and materials. That was such a help not having to worry about our curious toddler getting into trouble and showed they care. I absolutely recommend them for any project and look forward to working with them again in the future!”

    — Brian

  • "Andy and Tim are wonderful. We used them for a custom job at our corporate office and they blew us away. They even made us custom company furniture that is extremely unique and special to us! Trusted guys for sure.”

    — Alio

  • "Andy was fantastic to work with. He was timely, honest, and open to all my wild ideas. He truly turned our bathroom from doom and gloom to a 5 star resort! After that, we knew our basement remodel couldn’t be completed by anyone else. The functionality, craftsmanship and finishing details made our basement a perfect spot for family entertaining. I would recommend Andy time and time again! You will not be disappointed."

As firefighters, we spend our careers running towards problems, solving them under pressure, and ensuring the safety of our community. We saw a need for a contracting company in Columbus that operated with that same ethos—a company built on unwavering integrity, clear communication, and a commitment to doing the job right, every time. We started Columbus Basement Company to be that difference. We take pride in transforming dark, unused basements into safe, beautiful, and valuable extensions of your home.
