Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Queen Anne, 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."

"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!

"I am extremely glad I chose basement gurus over their other local competitors. First the owner of the company Josh is first class. Down to earth, straight forward, thorough, and a man of his word. If Josh gives you his word, it is as good as gold. The team that water proofed our basement was on time, hard working, and clean. I would highly recommend."

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"Crew came on 3/4/13 to re do the drainage system installed 2 years ago and they mixed the cement outside on a brand new stone patio leaving huge white stains behind that will never come off

"The job was completed very well and even they adjusted the project to suit some new found issues after digging. Basement is now dry and free of leaks or dampness.  They know what they are doing and the results show it!!!

"Our basement walls are made of field stone and had lost a lot of the mortar. Lon explained our options and we chose to have the walls repairs, sealed with a vapor seal and concrete applied. The workers kept the route clean and made sure it was neat at the end of each day. The work was meticulous! The three person crew was polite and they did a great job!"

"Communication with the provider was very spotty -- it took 2 or 3 e-mails before we would get a response but I'm not sure that in the midst of summer when they are at their busiest is a good time to have expected immediately responses.

"Estimator was fantastic; very knowledgeable, upfront about what they may find once the wall was opened, and gave a solid estimate for what he believed was the solution. Work team was on time, did a fantastic job and drywall repair work and clean up was perfect. The work team needed somone who could speak english better, it was difficult communicating desires at times."

"As a homeowner, I understand that repairs will be expensive at times.  When I found water damage around my front door, I called several contractors to come look at it.  I went with KD Sweet Construction because they seemed confident they could do the work quickly and eliminate both the damage and the source.  On the day of their work, I did much of the demolition work myself yet, later, the bill reflected a greater total than the initially estimated $650.  I had expected to be under the estimate, if anything.  I had even purchased most of the materials (pre-hung door, luan for the floor, trim).  I scratched my head and called the owner, Ken to ask if the bill was a mistake.  He explained everything to me, but I still got the feeling that his price was inflated considering my contributions to the situation.
The owner showed up on time and explained the job briefly to two of his workers.  Then he left and I was left to try to communicate with them (Spanish and some broken English).  This wasn't the most confidence inspiring move and I felt a bit uncomfortable with it.
The work was sufficient and looked professional.  There were some minor gaps that I later filled in with compound later before I painted.  Overall, the work was good but not great.
When done, the workers cleaned up fairly well and I had only minor dirt and dust to finish cleaning.  That was nice.
The final price reflected $90 in materials and $680 in labor.  This I found a bit high, but Ken seemed to justify his workers' time at my house with the work done.
I would not hire this company again.  I expect more for the price I was charged and the work did not reflect what I got.  Save yourself some money!
