Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Leola, PA

"In January of this year, my wife and I decided we needed to transform our finished basement to an inhabitable living area. That would require adding a bathroom and an egress window for â emergency escapeâ . We hired a contractor for the bathroom and began the research on egress windows. As we were anxious to move ahead ASAP, I began contacting companies that installed egress windows. We had a couple of reps come out, look at our basement, discuss the process and quote prices. Estimates ranged from $8000 to $12000. Most had 2 things in common. 1} They could not schedule the job until somewhere in May or June as â windowsâ wouldnâ t be available until then. 2) Any â finishingâ work (necessary sheet rock and trim) would be extra as they did not do that. In March, I happened upon a copy of a regional advertising magazine (Clipper) which came in our mail. In it was an advertisement for â Basement Gurusâ . Since we still hadnâ t made a commitment for the work, I gave them a call. After discussing the job with them, I came to conclusion to go with â Basement Gurusâ . There were five reasons why I made this decision. 1) It appeared to me, based on reviews, the company had a good reputation. 2) The fact that they had windows in stock. This would move job completion date up significantly over what I had been told by at least three other companies. 3) The price. 4) Excavation would be done manually eliminating the possibility of damage to my neighborâ s lawn. 5) Sheetrock and finishing included. Our egress window project (install/follow up sheetrock/trim) was completed on time. Three workers came to our home for the install. They completed the window in three days. Very efficient, professional. Our township inspector came out a few days later and said â all looked goodâ . Also, John the sheetrock/trim person told me he had done a number of egress finishes. He said this one, as opposed to some heâ d seen, looked really good. The sheetrock and trim was completed in one day. An egress window is a big job. They make alterations to your homeâ s foundation! All in all, Basement Gurus did an awesome job! We now have a really nice â livableâ basement adding significant value to our home. Basement Gurus gets my full recommendation!

"Lukas, Dean, Peter and Leon were an excellent crew. They were friendly, professional and competent and did a great job on a major foundation repair. I still can't believe they actually lifted my house!"

"I don’t usually write reviews but I have been so impressed with Basement Waterproofing Specialists. I recently hired them to do a repair to my foundation and waterproof the basement. Everyone from the Office Staff to the Inspector and the work crew were professional, courteous and focused on customer satisfaction. They explained clearly what they would do and the work was of high quality, competitive and all done in a day. They put up dust sheets before starting and left the place clean and tidy. They talk a lot about treating customers like family and that’s exactly the company culture I saw. Thank you!"

"Waterproofing One did a great job. Steve came Thursday night to estimate the job and had it completed the next day. I could not ask for better service. Drywall needed to be patched, carpeting needed to be removed, and installation of foundation drains out front of our home were installed by two great workers. Work is guaranteed."

"I had a small but complicated, hard to access, and structurally essential repair job on a 60-year-old concrete deck attached to my 280-year-old Pennsylvania limestone farmhouse. I contacted several masons listed for my area on Home Advisor, and included Mr. Grady as a long shot -- I read about his expertise with historical structures and wished I had access to such an expert craftsman, but I didn't think he'd be interested in my teeny job and assumed I wouldn't be able to afford him anyway. He was the first one to return my call and to look at the job, and I thought his price was fair. I believe now it was way more than fair, considering the time he spent. He did extensive research, going over a structural engineer's report I had done previously on the deck and even examining the original architectural drawings and materials invoices from 1959. He showed up at least three times to complete the repair in stages, and has been back a half a dozen times since then to check the job -- and my location is not exactly in his neighborhood. He accepted only enough payment in advance to pay for lodging for himself and his assistant when they stayed nearby one night in order to be there early the next morning. He gave and continues to give free advice about preserving my stone house and patio. If you prod him a little, he might even share some of his personal philosophy, earned over a lifetime of work that is clearly more of an art form than a job to him. Overall, I'd say you can hire one of many competent contractors and get an adequate job, or you can hire Mr. Grady and get superior work by someone who cares about your property as much as you do."

"Arlan installed CMU piers and lintels as described by engineer to add support to the two stone wall openings walls as needed. He also demoed any remaining plaster and framing that was no longer needed."

"I emailed a request for a estimate for a foundation repair. I received a phone call to set up a appointment within minutes of sending the email. A gentleman named Tom came to my home to inspect the situation and give me a estimate for any work that was needed within two days of the phone call. He arrived promptly at the time we had agreed upon. After he inspected the situation he told me no work was necessary. I appreciated his honesty. I was very happy with the response from the company and i would use them again."

"Our family room is built on a concrete slab foundation. We've had water issues forever. We've had others try to figure out why & make suggestions. We hired a company previously that said they could fix it, helped some but still had some wetness after rains. We made a good decision to have David from Basement Waterproofing Solutions come take a look. He studied, he measured & he figured it out. We still check for wetness after a hard rain, we've done it for 20 years. The room has stayed dry for over a year & we are very thankful to David and his team!"

"<p>From the time I was contacted by Lori to the meeting with Michael, the experience of selecting a company to resolve our problem became very comfortable.  Lori was very helpful whenever I talked to her and Michael provided the details of what they would do, and there was no pressure to make a decision at the time of the meeting.  The people who were going to perform the work, called and indicated they were going to be a little late  - provided me with the time - and they showed up as indicated.  Josh reviewed all that was going to be done and provided me with the opportunity to answer any questions I had or came up during the installation.  They did everything to ensure that the cement dust wouldn't come into my house.  They arrived prepared to work and they did - the entire day.  They had scheduled a 3 day time frame, however, the entire job was done under 2 days - cleaned up and looking good.  The electrician was scheduled that Friday and he also showed up on time and prepared to work.  </p> <p>Thank you, Michael, Lori, and the crew you sent to do the work - Access was most definitely the company to pick to get this job done.  We were apprehensive about finding someone to do such a large job and it turned out selecting Access took that apprehension away,</p> <br />"

"Dan was great! Very punctual, fast response and great pricing. This was the first time I ever needed a repair like this done, and he took the time to fully explain why they type of fix was recommended and even sent pictures of another job so I could see what the repair looked like in progress and once finished. Would highly recommend!"
