Basement Wall Replacement
We replace severely damaged basement walls using heavy-duty concrete blocks and rebar reinforcement. Our process includes structural support installation, excavation, and drainage solutions to ensure long-term stability. Ideal for homes with bowing or cracked walls beyond repair.
Egress Window Installation
Our egress windows meet building codes for basement bedrooms while improving safety and natural light. We install premium vinyl windows with steel wells and ladders, including excavation and wall modifications for proper fit.
Exterior Waterproofing
We apply moisture barriers and drainage systems to prevent water intrusion. Services include exterior wall coating, dimpled drainage matting, and drain tile installation to protect basements from water damage.

We rebuild compromised crawlspace foundations to improve structural integrity. This includes excavation, new footing installation, and masonry work to eliminate pest entry points and moisture issues.

Report
Set up an appointment with Scott to have our basement looked at. We drove in from out of town to be there. Person did not show, after waiting 20 minutes, I called and was told by Scott that he had forgotten to pass our information on. Scott did apologize and offered for them to be there in a half hour. But we canceled, they just lost potential business.
