Chase Clemens came out to the house and spent several hours doing a detailed inspection and analysis of our basement. He presented all the possible solutions, pros and cons of each, and pitched a thoughtful recommendation. We were ultimately sold when he sang multiple verses of “Baby Shark” including the dance. Really brought it home. It went something like…. Baby shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Baby shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Baby shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Baby shark Mommy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Mommy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Mommy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Mommy shark Daddy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Daddy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Daddy shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Daddy shark Grandma shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandma shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandma shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandma shark Grandpa shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandpa shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandpa shark, do, do, do-do, do-do Grandpa shark

Keenan stopped at our house because we had concerns of mold due to an odd smell, and it turns out it wasn't mold. He was incredibly honest, and gave us leads on how to fix our problem. No charge, no upsell, no nonsense.

Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the work we needed and the associated costs. He came to our home, took the time to have a thorough conversation with us, and answered every question we had. He’s genuine, professional, and truly seems to care about both our home and making sure the foundation work is done right. I would absolutely recommend him and the company to anyone looking for a quote!

Nate, Tay, Mike and Cameron performed their duties in an excellent manner. All were very knowledgeable in their assignments. They completed the job in 2 days versus 3 days as scheduled by the salesman. They insured that the house remained as clean as they first saw it, plus insured our cellar was all picked up and ready for restocking of bins after 48 hrs. They found out that a piece of equipment that was previously ordered was not required thusly reducing my total bill considerably. Will recommend the company to anyone requiring their basement, cellar or crawl space to be repaired.
