Our Inspector, Chelsa, came to our Dayton home the other day to check on some suspected foundation settling. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, confidence and the way she went about the inspection. She walked the entire house with me, asking questions, making sure she had the layout and all adjacencies correct. After the walk-through, she set up her equipment and showed me specifically where the major problem was located and explained how it would be corrected. When she delivered her full report, it was done very professionally. When I asked her about her company and how she felt about working for them, she replied that she was proud to work for OBA and that she had a great crew working in Dayton. Chelsa also mentioned their parent company Groundworks, and the fact that they are employee owned. (Full disclosure: I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, and heard the Groundworks CEO on his podcast recently). All in all, a very, very good experience.

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.

Mark came out and took a look at our foundation. What we thought was a major foundation issue turned out not to be. He was completely up front and honest about it all. Can’t say enough good things about his honesty and ethics. Definitely would recommend them.

Richard, Deonte, and Javaun did an amazing job. They stayed late, and worked really hard every minute they were here. They constantly communicated what they were doing and proceeded with care as if it was their own home. We are extremely satisfied with their work. Great group of guys and would recommend them to anyone!!!!! Our garage could have collapsed at any minute and they were so careful to make sure they and my family were both safe.

I had an outstanding experience with Darin DeRosa, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He conducted a detailed inspection and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I felt supported and confident throughout the process. This was my third time going through this, and Darin provided the level of comfort and dedication I had been looking for. He was truly committed to helping me succeed, and thanks to his efforts, I was approved for the loan I needed to finish my basement. It’s clear why this company maintains a five-star reputation, and Darin is a big part of that. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. He absolutely deserves a promotion for the way he represents the company.
