"People all around me suggestes no one else but Bakers. Tysean Lacks and Richard Riley completed a VERY thorough job digging in the front of my house and installing beams in the basement. Being that I was ignorant of the details, Mr. Lacks explained every detail while Mr. Riley carefully replaced objects of the yard. Believe me! They did a FANTASTIC job! I feel so much better now that my home is more stable. Thank you!"

"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 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."

"The project went extremely smooth with no damage to the yard. Bob and his crew were punctual and the cleanup was thorough.I would <br />  highly recommend his companys sevices to anyone needing a shed or gazebo. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"I've only had water come in at this location so I was pleased that they didn't try to sell me on doing the entire basement. They were able to do the entire job in 1 day.  No heavy rains since it was installed so I can't say for sure that the drain, sump and pipes are working. <br /> Only negatives that I have are that they didn't sweep or mop the floor when they were done.  They sealed off the rest of the basement so that it was free of dust, but the floor was very dirty.  Also, the installers smelled so strongly of smoke that they left that smell in the house. <br />"

"<p>Just wanted to drop a line or two and let you all know how impressed we were with both your workmen and their work.  In today's society, you just don't find companies that really do a great job, they usually just do enough to "get by".<br /> <br /><br /> <br />At times, without their knowledge, I was home and could hear some of the men talking.  Much to my surprise, their language and subject matter were always appropriate.  Don't find that much in the labor force today!  It spoke volumes to me.  When they did speak with us, they were always very kind and informative.<br /> <br /></p> <p>The work that was performed consisted of excavating the dirt to gain access to the footings on both sides of the foundation.  On the inside, they had to bust out the concrete floor and hand dig to the footing in order to install their brackets for the "unified lift system".  After installing the brackets, they attached special hydraulic equipment to the brackets which drove 3" diameter<br /> <br />pipes down to bedrock.  Next, they attached a hydraulic jacking system to each pier location.  Using their special vehicle with a unique hydraulic pumping system they attached hydraulic lines to each location and were able to do a controlled lift.  From what we understand, your company is one of the only ones that can perform this "unified lift".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We were taking pictures daily and emailing them out to family and friends who could not believe their eyes!  They started out making our basement look like a bomb went off and when they were done it was swept and looking very nice!<br /> <br /><br /> <br />All this to say that the work done was absolutely astonishing!  We will highly recommend EHM to everyone that we hear may need this type of work completed.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Thanks so much again.  We were dreading having this work completed, but you all made it so much nicer by your<br /> <br />expertise, kindness, and professionalism.</p> <p>Mike and Cheryl <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"<p>Bob and his crew did an outstanding job on my bathroom.  When Bob came to provide his estimate he was able to offer many suggestions that helped reduce the cost of the remodeling job.  He did not try to sell me anything extra and worked closely with me to find a solution to each of the areas I needed addressed i.e. floor, toilet, sink and shower stall.  </p> <p>Both he and his assistant were very meticulous and the quality of the job that he did especially on the floor made the reasonably priced vinyl tiles obtained from a home center look fantastic by leaving a separation between each and grouting between them.  </p> <p>In removing the old bathroom sink a lot of the counter tiles became loose and Bob replaced and regrouted at no extra cost.</p> <p>The remodeling of the bathroom came out fantastic.  Bob's costs made the job well worth the effort in improving the house.  I would absolutely recommend them for any bathroom or tile work you are looking to have done on your home.</p> <br />"

"We had a contractor in to do floor leveling after pulling up carpet and <br /> tile to discover a large crack front-to-back through the entire house <br /> where the north end of the house had sunk by 3". I asked the contractor <br /> if he thought I should consult with a structural engineer. He gave me <br /> the name and number of Regan, Matonak, and Associates. I dealt directly <br /> with Dan Matonak who assessed the structure and original problem. He <br /> also walked around the entire house and found an additional problem! <br /> He saw that the brick was bowing about 3/4" inch at the back. The upper <br /> level of the house is open at ground level to the back yard, while the <br /> lower level opens at ground level to the front yard. In other words, the <br /> back of the house is in a hill. His assessment was that the bowing was <br /> caused by inward deflection of cinder block wall at about 30" below <br /> ground level, without even seeing the cinder block. He said "If you <br /> remove that wood paneling, I think you'll find cinder block and I think <br /> you'll also find a 1/8" or so horizontal crack going along the entire <br /> back wall". He was completely correct! He recommended several possible <br /> companies to do the repair of the block using different mechanisms. The least <br /> costly of these was using "The Reinforcer" which was installed by Steven E. Jaymes <br /> contracting company of Chambersburg, PA. The work was done in MD and they were done <br /> in a morning. The epoxy is very smelly, but the smell was dissipated in a few days. <br /> The great things about this solution compared to putting in steel pillars or trenching the outside and <br /> putting rebar into the existing blocks are: <br /> 1) less expensive. Since I removed all of the wood paneling and insulating myself, exposing the back wall, <br /> I saved a few thousand dollars. If I hadn't already planned on doing this to replace the insulation, it may have been more expensive than trenching out the back yard and putting rebar into the block, but not by much. That was a lot of labor <br /> 2) the carbon fiber strips are very thin and it is easy to put insulating and finish wall back up over them. I replaced the insulation with higher quality Dow Foamular and then put paneling back up and painted it. It looks a lot better than before and has better insulation category <br /> 3) they give a lifetime transferable warranty on the repair. These strips are so strong, they will never break <br /> 4) I get all the cracks sealed with epoxy, effectively water-proofing the back wall, even though that wasn't a major concern. There was dampness under the existing insulation, but it's nice and try now."
