Get matched with top foundation repair specialists in Hyattsville, MD

"Mauricio and Crisjan were the initial sales reps who came to examine the issue and they took the time to test drainage that might have potentially been creating the water issue. They offered a reasonable solution (sealing the visible cracks and holes in the concrete and I was contacted within a couple of days with an estimate and scheduling options. Sean was our tech and he did a fantastic job diagnosing the issue beyond just the cracks. He not only address all the holes and cracks in the concrete and mortar, he sealed up additional entry points above the foundation. He sourced additional materials to cover openings for cable lines. He went above and beyond and gave us measured information on how we should continue to monitor and treat this area as the house settles. He was thorough, informative, and provided excellent service in his work. I'm very glad that Sean was the technician sent to us and I would specifically request him for your projects."

"This is the third time we've used Horizon Landscaping for masonry work, and they have done consistently excellent work for a fair price. We strongly recommend them."

"The entire process went extremely well. The estimate was very clear about the scope of work, the crew was professional, on time and carefully about reducing disruption/mess and our basement is dry, as promised. They even went above and beyond and fixed a downspout outside so water would flow away from the house. Once the job was finished, the company rep came out to walk through with us and answer any questions. I have no doubt that if a problem did arise, they'd fix it."

"Called AA Action Waterproofing on Friday, 5/26/17, and spoke to Rhonda Plaine, Sales & Service Coordinator, to make an appointment. I was scheduled for the very next week, June 1st, to meet with "Angelo" to perform an estimate of the work to be done. I found "Angelo" to be very knowledgeable, and he made his advice easy to understand. We set up a date of June 6th to have the work completed. "Joe," the foreman, and his work-crew of 2 other men arrived at my home on 6/6 at 8:45 AM, and they were quick to begin their exterior excavation work. At the minimum, all 3 men dug to a depth of 8 inches below the outside foundation footer and sealed the exterior wall cracks. My inside cellar walls were scraped, cleaned and caulked. Then, a Zoeller sump pump was installed in the floor. The crew made efficient use of their time, and in just 2 hours their work was done; they departed at 11 AM. Without question, working with AA Action Waterproofing was a positive experience that all began when "Rhonda" answered the telephone (instead of getting someone's voicemail). You get the sense that "their team" really want to help you, at a reasonable price, and still stand behind their work with their warranty. Do yourself a favor and stay with a winner!"

"Going with JP General Construction was a bit of a leap of faith as most of the reviews on Angie's List are for smaller jobs, but I could not have been happier with Mr. Peredo and his crew's work.  After getting estimates from several firms who'd reviewed the plans from my structural engineer, his bid for the work was very fair -- not the cheapest, but more than $15,000 less than the much larger firm which had been the runner up.  I'd note that the work at my house was so complex (replacing the entire foundation of the house from the inside) that two of the firms I interviewed wouldn't even bid on the work.
Mr. Peredo immediately knew how to best execute the engineer's plans and he quickly demonstrated his construction knowledge when he found that the structural engineer's plans needed to be modified in order to safely and more effectively complete the repairs. The engineer, on two separate occasions agreed with Mr. Peredo's plans and offered to redo the drawings.  First, he recommended doing the demolition of the existing shelf footers in a more conservative but time consuming way and second, he recommended using a single steel I-Beam, instead of two separate sections, even though the larger steel I-Beam was much tougher for his crew to put into place.  In the end, I have no doubt that Mr. Peredo's proposed improvements resulted in a more structurally sound final product.  A crew of four showed up every day, worked their butts off all day, and the worksite was organized/cleaned daily.  Until the new walkout was finished, the crew had to walk through my house to get to the basement/bathroom and put down dropcloths to keep out hardwood floors as clean as possible.  
There were seven or eight different Arlington County inspections required throughout the process and we passed with flying colors each time.  On one of the more complicated phases of work, one of the inspectors stayed for over an hour taking different measurements and scrutinizing the work.
I'd note that I had a terrible experience with a contractor on a different project (sued and won a judgement against him), so Mr. Peredo was OK with my structuring an extremely tight, specific contract with corresponding schedule of progress payments.
I'm a tough customer (especially when I'm spending a lot of money) and, much to the chagrin of my wife, scrutinized his team's progress as soon as I returned from work every day for a month. Just terrific on all fronts.

"Howard Glancy came to inspect cracks in my home's concrete walls where the foundation was sinking. He, as a Certified Field Inspector, went over the whole house with me, explaining why the walls were cracking, and what should be done to alleviate the problem. Howard explained what JES Foundation would do, approximately how long it would take, and provided a quotation for the repairs. Besides raising the problem walls and ensuring they would be structural sound and guaranteed to stay that way for the remaining life of the house, he also advised me of how JES would repair minor cracks in the remaining building as well as having s sump pump installed to wick away any ground water from damaging any other parts of the structure. Mr. Glancy was very courteous; knowledgeable of his profession; and walked us through any questions we might have had concerning the processes. Due to the permit process taking so long, the work on the house won't start for a few months, and if Mr. Glancy is any indication of the professionalism of the rest of the JES Foundation personnel, I'm confident that the work will be done properly, in a timely manner and to my complete satisfaction."

"I needed some stone patio repair in short order as I was moving. Dave came out to the site immediately to quote the job. He gave me a couple different options to choose from and pricing was favorable compared to the competitors. He quickly sourced matching stone, rearranged his crews’ schedules to get my job done, and his team did high quality work fast. Highly recommend."

"Years ago, when our patio was installed, the contractor did not completely tie in one of the pavers. The Ballard team came in and assessed the situation, repaired not only that paver, but tightened up all of the pavers along the perimeter of our patio. That thing isn't going anywhere any time soon! The team arrived when expected, did a good job of cleaning up after themselves, and left me very pleased with the end results."

"We had a few delays due to a little snow (26" here) but once we could see the ground again,  Drainage & Erosion Solutions descended upon our yard with around 8-10 guys to dig down to the footer by hand. I was amazed that they completed all the digging, had a hole cut for the egress window, and installed the window the first day. The second day they filled in a bunch of cracks, applied several different layers of waterproofing material and filled the trench back in, tamping it down every few feet. I'm pretty confident there isn't going to be any settling as they packed it all in very tight. The third day, they hauled out the extra dirt and restored our side yard to look the same as when they started, including re-spreading mulch that they had removed from the area to perform the work.
This job required that our outdoor HVAC unit be disconnected and temporarily moved. They had a an outside contractor do this work, airnovations, llc, and those guys were very professional too. It was going to be in the 20's overnight and they made sure we'd still have heat by using the auxiliary heater while the unit was disconnected.
All the guys were really nice. Most, if not all the crew spoke English so there was never any communications issues. David Arias was the operations manager and he was in touch either in person or by phone several times a day to keep me updated on the work and coordinating with the HVAC guys. This was one of the smoothest experiences we've had when getting major work done to our home.
