Get matched with top foundation repair specialists in Westport, NY

"We have to pump out water every spring, so dealing with sump pumps is nothing new. This year, the area where our sump pump is located had pretty much caved in, so the pump wasn't able to function properly. My husband hired this company to fix the problem. They dug out the old container and put in a new one, which is a good thing, but for some reason, instead of using the existing pipe/outlet for the water to pump out under our driveway into a ravine, they cut a second hole in the basement wall to pump the water into our yard instead.  If I had been there when they were doing the work, I would not have agreed with doing it this way. They showed up on time and fixed the immediate problem, but I think that they charged a lot more than what the job was worth, and did things that were not necessary. My husband seemed satisfied with the end result, but I personally would not hire them in the future.

"Paul Swann evaluated our foundation problem and referred us to an engineer who provided a detailed repair plan. Unfortunately, the nature and scope of the proposed repair plan was outside the parameters of what Northern Basement System's themselves could provide. We appreciated their honesty and have been looking for a contractor to take on the project."

"Victor was referred to us by friends and he did not disappoint. He was not the least expensive option to us but his track record speaks for itself. The planting?s and masonry his crew installed were beyond what we could have imagined. Loving my yard. Don?t hesitate to hire this company. Leo S"

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"When I first called, I was surprised at how quickly they returned my phone call to set up an estimate. He was able to come over the next evening to check out our basement. He was punctual and provided us information about what would need to be done. He stated that he would provide us with an estimate that evening. I waited, but the estimate never came. I called the following week to see the status of the estimate. They stated that they were busy, but I should have it by now and would email it ASAP. After a second week, I called again. They said they would get it to me again. After the third week, I called again and was told the same thing. I gave up at that point and contacted someone else, who will be fixing the basement tomorrow. It's been over a month now and never received an estimate for the work. I understand that it's a busy time of year, but was disappointed to never get the estimate and didn't feel like I should have to pester them for it.

"First I'll get this out of the way: They had made a clerical error on the original estimate that caused their bid amount to be lower than the final outcome - but we were able to work it out, and I was happy with my choice. Beyond that, we had excellent service from Sejay construction. Rick, Walt, and crew were very friendly and meticulous. They had the job started and done in no time at all. Throughout the job, Rick was always prompt, and kept me posted on how things were going, along with their findings, in case additional repairs would be needed. The roof and chimney flashing looks absolutely beautiful, and the skill and experience these folks have really shines through in every aspect. The cost of the job was extremely competitive, and I can't believe how efficient the whole process was. I would definitely hire them again to do other work."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"Superb. They're excellent all around. Easy to work with."

"He was great. Stayed right with the work. This man is a very hard worker and when I have work again I would hire him back."

"The gentlemen arrived on time (actually about 10 minutes early) which was a pleasant surprise. He did the requested repair as well as repaired a problem that we didn't know we had. He was polite and respectful."
