Owens Corning Basenent Finishing System
 

Has anyone here installed it ?

Did a Google search, all it did is confirm my
experience. High pressure sales tactics (the
local dealer in my area, I'm in NJ - was out
of Long Island, Allure Inc).

Sales guy comes over and says if you sign now,
I can deduct $10,000 off the price.

Now, mind you, there are NO construction drawings
or detailed floor plans or any sort of PRECISE
contractual engineering specs. Just sign on the
dotted line, we can worry about that later....

yeah right.

You'd think these buffoons would get a clue by the
nature of the buyer considering these sort of systems.
My house is valued at over $600,000 - most of us who
can afford such a home, weren't born yesterday and
don't idly sign contracts without knowing what we're
committing to.

I'm just wondering if anyone has positive experience
with the Owens Corning system ?

Or whether i'm better off just hiring a contractor
and provide precise drawings/specs/contractual terms,
etc and have them do it the "old fashioned" way.

thoughts ?

I'd have thought the system was less than $10,000 installed, let alone that
much of a deduction. I'd pass.

Yep, you plan out your usage, roll it out, and staple it to the
beams. Choose plain or vapor barrier.

Make sure you specify a rigid ceiling material if you are going to install a
suspended ceiling. The materials I saw at HD and Lowes were a joke....
vinyl attached to fiberglass...... sag city.

I was thinking that with a name like Wile E Coyote, that you would
just order a
finished basement from the ACME Basement company.

No, those ACME products usually turn on the buyer. :-)

Ugly walls too, with a bead strip every 4 feet to hide the seems, what
a joke. Looks like a 1960's cheap paneling basement remodel with
those bead strips.
