Dave, Jonathan and Eric were very respectful of our home and did a fantastic job with our foundation repair. They communicated when each step was done at the end of the day and what to expect the next time they would be here. They were here every day they said they would be and did not keep us waiting. The bricks look amazing and they sealed everything nicely. Thanks again!

Richard, Donte, & Javaun did an excellent job installing the walls and floor. They had to dig a lot of rocks out of the dirt which we were surprised to see and some of them were really large. It was above and beyond the call of duty!

Tanner was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable during my inspection. He did an amazing job explaining all aspects of my situation, what my options were, and displayed infinite patience with my decision on what options to take. I couldn't be happier with my experience so far and look forward to seeing how well they perform during the project.

Wayne Gray with Ohio Basement Authority was great to work with. We called to get a quote for leveling our driveway, and he was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of our questions without rushing us. Wayne was professional, respectful of our time, and genuinely helpful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a detailed and professional evaluation.

We had our Basement waterproofed and everyone we worked with was excellent! Jacob came out to assess our basement and was professional, friendly, and not at all pushy or trying to sell us something we didn't need. We decided to be proactive and waterproof our basement. Aaron Ison and his team came to our house over a 2 day period and were great! Very professional, explained everything they were doing throughout the process, and kept everything clean. It was a great experience and would recommend them for all your basement needs.

I had an honest service person! I had a couple issues and this company installed my sub pump about 8 yrs ago. Gentleman took care of all of my issues complimentary and took the time to explain the importance of the basement wall repair. Gave me an estimate so I can think about it with no pressure.

After a 4 inch flood in our basement, we were devastated. We scheduled the free inspection and met Max. From the moment he came in, he knew exactly what he was talking about. He found the problems, even the ones we weren't aware of. After identifying our issues, he had the solutions to best fix it and spent the time we needed to fully understand. We have a plan and a path forward. We look forward to working with moustache Max!

Today, Chase Clemens and Justin Bankcroft thoroughly inspected my house for structural concerns. (They were almost at my house for three hours.) I cannot begin to thank them enough for their knowledge, integrity and ethics. Another company gave me an estimate of almost $29,000 and Chase said that none of that work needed to be done. Chase and Justin identified the problem (my roof) and assured me it was not a problem with the house structure itself. Not only did they save me an enormous amount of money, but they restored my faith in people. There are ethical professionals in this world and they are certainly two of them. Both of these men were so professional and knowledgeable, I am beyond grateful. I feel very blessed.

This review is strictly based on the inspection/estimate phase. Everette Butler was extremely thorough, personable and knowledgeable. I couldn’t be more impressed with him and the company so far. I have had other estimates from their competitors with similar ratings – the quality and first impressions have been night and day.

I had the pleasure of working Everett. He came to my house promptly and was extremely helpful and eager to help. Unfortunately, my situation was a bit unique, and his group was unable to take on the job. Luckily, Everett knew someone who could help and put me in contact with him. Although we did not do business together, Everett went above and beyond to help ensure that I was taken care of. -Erich

Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Ohio Basement Authority! From the very beginning, they made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Scheduling my appointment was easy as can be, and I really appreciated receiving a prompt appointment confirmation that kept me in the loop. On the day of the appointment, Chase and Chelsa were fantastic. They arrived right on time, which I truly value working from home and in meetings most of the day. They were thorough and professional, taking the time to carefully check both the inside and outside of my home to identify any potential issues. What I appreciated most was their thorough and honest consultation and recommendations for how to best handle some of the issues they found. I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority to anyone here in the tri-state!

Dan Lauterbur came to my house to advise me regarding some basement cracking and seepage that had been previously treated by another company. His assessment was thorough and detailed and noted several concerns that I had not previously been aware of. He was very helpful in advising me as how to best proceed and what to ask and look for when the company that did the original warrantied work returns to readdress the problems. If the original company fails to adequately address the concerns or if new problems arise in the future, I will most certainly be back in touch with the Ohio Basement Authority.

Highly recommended! Had Chase out to look over my house a few days ago. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. Ended up giving us better news then we were expecting and also showing us a few things to help avoid future issues. We will be referring him and his company out with confidence
