I don't understand how companies doing the hard sell like that makes them look anything other than scummy or desperate.

Has anyone had a basement radiant heat (in floor hydronic) system installed recently and if so how much did it cost you? We're considering a basement renovation and we don't currently have a slab. Since we need to pour a slab anyway it seems like a comfortable way to heat a basement, but I don't know if a system like this costs $10k or $100k.

For what its worth, Groundworks completely botched remediation work on my inlaws' basement, upsold them on unnecessary solutions that did not work, and it has been near impossible to get in contact with them since. I would stay far away.
