Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Millington, MD

"These gentlemen were on time, explained what would happen and was able to raised our foundation basement floor more then we thought they would be able. Bryan, Tyrone, and Mike made a good team. They came, they raised, cleaned up and left. Very good job. We were very pleased."

"I reached out to this company for a sump pump upgrade and a cracked wall repair. The technician who did my install was very polite and informative. We've had several big storms since my installation was done and I'm happy to say my basement has remained totally dry. I'm very glad I chose this company, I would recommend them to anyone in need of help with their basement!"

"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!

"Requested quote on putting in concrete porch. Received a quote and they started the work the very next day! The Forman was very detailed, in the work the workers were doing. They did an excellent job! What really impressed me too, a young lady in front of the house had a flat tire, the Forman stopped his work, and asked her if he could assist her. You don’t see that often now days Would recommend Basement Gurus for sure!!"

"Mr. Yoder started construction in November, approximately three weeks later than planned. This was due to his having been unexpectedly hospitalized with appendicitis. However, in that time he kept us completely informed as to his status and when he expected to start by calling us at least once a week. He also ensured all government paperwork and permits were obtained and this effort was part of the final bill.

The work went very smoothly, with some inevitable, though minor delays due to bad weather (it was November and December, after all). He cleard the foundation area and three-foot-deep holes for the main support posts, which were anchored with cement. He next put up all of the framing, siding, roof, etc. and installed the windows and doors.

Work such as laying the concrete for the floor, intalling gutters and downspouts and electrical work were handled by subcontractors, the price of which also was included in the final bill. Please note, the original asking price was about $19,000, but we requested some additions, such as wall insulation and installing a new sidewalk concurrent with the garage foundation, which added to the price.

The work began on Nov. 16, 2011, and was finished just before Christmas.

We have photographs of the work in progress and the finished garage available to be emailed to anyone interested in seeing Mr. Yoder's work."

"Initial project: Grade B.  Overall went well.  Only reason for a B is that they noted that they were going to put a trench around my laundry sink as a means to prevent damage if it overflowed.  But when they came back to do the job it wasn't done.  Overall I haven't had a drop of water since the install so that is very good.  The rep was Adam.
- !!!! UPDATE 20131125: Spoke to Jeff Johnson GM, he noted that this wouldn't have been an option in the first place as it could pose a local issue (gray water pumped outside the home.

 Warranty: Grade A. Adam (rep) noted to me that no matter where (not through windows or above obviously) water came in (walls or floor) that the warranty would cover it.  Well you don't get the warranty until after the job... and guess what?  Water up from the floors isn't covered.  Not cool.
- !!!! UPDATE 20121125: Spoke to Jeff Johnson GM, he noted that this condition is covered.  My mistake. Grade changed to A.

Basement windows: Grade F.  Called them and had them out to estimate putting in a basement egress as well as the other basement windows.  The rep (Brett) came out, measured, etc.  Then nothing.  I called.  I called.  The customer service team told me on numerous occasions that the "president of the company" was going to call.  He never did.  Eventually, a sub or partner of theirs called me and provided me a quote over the phone (for the egress - the didn't do the other windows).  The quote was blind and didn't take into consideration any of the data that Brett collected during his visit.  This ordeal was a TOTAL waste of my time.
- !!!! UPDATE 20131125: Spoke to Jeff Johnson GM, he noted that this rep is no longer with them and that he should have provided an immediate quote for the windows.  The only time the sub should have called is for the egress... 

Customer service: Grade C.  They provided a mold remediation treatment as part of the basement water proofing.  One of my walls not is showing signs of something.  So I called.  Nothing.  No call back.  Nothing.
I regret going with this company.  I should have bit the bullet and spent the extra $$ to go with their competition.
- !!!! UPDATE 20131125: Spoke to Jeff Johnson GM.  He will be out in 2 days to treat the location and noted he will install a hose into my dehumidifier so that it drains into the system. 
- !!!! UPDATE 20131127: Jeff was out, assessed the situation and provided a clear path to resolution.  I have homework but his team will be out to solve the problem.
- !!!! UPDATE 20140115 Grade changed to C.  Jeff's team corrected the issue to my satisfaction."

"My entire basement was waterproofed over 20 years ago. Water was coming in again, so the salesperson recommended I have the waterproofing on one wall re-done, a vapor barrier installed on that wall, rebar inserted in 3 places inside the wall, cinder blocks in those rows filled with concrete, & a sump pump that was less than a year old - replaced. I was not at all happy with the fact that they required me to replace such a new sump pump in order to get the full warranty on the project. However, I was very impressed by the tons of good reviews I read about this company and the fact that they've been in business for 30 years. I must admit, I was also feeling very good about only having to pay a little over $5,000 to resolve such a scary-looking situation (my block wall was sliding off the foundation)! My relationship with the company really suffered on the first day of the project. Jaime (the project leader) advised me that I should really have the wall reinforced with steel beams, which would cost an "additional" $4,000+, and that I might also want to consider reinforcing a second wall with carbon fiber straps, which would cost another $5,400. Everything he said made sense, considering the looks of things - and I believed him. My issue was, why wasn't that information given to me by the salesperson? It felt very much like a bait and switch situation. By this point, work was in progress and my concrete flooring had been jack-hammered up in front of the worst wall. Considering the costs were now soaring, I said I wanted to get additional estimates to compare with theirs, before having the more extensive work performed. Jaime contacted John (his boss), who insisted they complete all work that had been contracted thus far, including replacing the concrete section of the floor. "Won't the floor have to be jack-hammered up again, in preparation of the steel beam installations," I asked? He confirmed that to be true. I argued that it didn't make sense to spend the time & money pouring the concrete when their crew, or the crew of another company would just have to tear it back up again. He was pretty adamant, but I was even more so, and the floor stayed open while I obtained the other estimates. I realize they wanted to have enough of the work completed to collect payment, which I paid in full, without question. But I really did not appreciate this added stress to an already stressful situation. I did hire Basement Waterproofing Nationwide, Inc. to do the additional work on the worst wall. I still have faith in their expertise, Jaime was very knowledgeable, the crew did great work and really did a good job keeping the mess to a minimum. After all the contention between John and I, we even ended on a good note. I hope Basement Waterproofing Nationwide, Inc., will be more understanding of the customer's position the next time, if they ever encounter such a change in project scope again."
