Groundworks

Very professional job correcting my home’s sinking foundation. Brian L, Caluin H, and James V did great work and were respectful of my property. I was kept informed of how repairs were progressing and of any concerns. Overall, I highly recommend this team for any foundation repair work. Thanks! Also, my sinking concrete pool deck was repaired Aaron L and Matt Engel. They kept me apprised of the work. The team came out and quickly got to work, fixed any cracks and raised the concrete around the pool. I am happy with the professional repairs of the team. Thanks

**Almoat completely resolved, waiting for them to pick up air filtration machine. *Update - have been contacted by general manager, and the issue of cleaning check has been almost completely resolved! Currently waiting for answer regarding issue of air filtration return and reimbursement for electrician. NOTE: I have never left a negative review prior to this one - see profile. What was sold as a fast, dust-free waterproofing job turned into months of hazardous mess, broken promises, and chronic headaches. We paid $20,000 to Groundworks (formerly Baker’s Waterproofing) for a dust-free, 3-day waterproofing job. Instead, our entire home was left coated in concrete dust, with waterproofing only partially complete, and unsafe wiring still powers our sump pump. Promised electrician service, cleaning, and a $750 reimbursement never happened. Three months later, we still can’t use the exhorbitantly overpriced air filtration system we were sold. What was meant to facilitate precious time with new baby and beloved aging parents ended up costing months of arduous cleaning, undue stress, and so much time due to egregious lack of response and broken promises from Production Manager keeping this project on hold. **Continue below for more detailed descriptions and pictures To begin, we were pushed by the sales team (contacted the majority of days out of 3-4 weeks), purportedly as they couldn't fit us in otherwise. They supposedly work fast and get the job completed over 3 days, during which we would need to be out of the house. A top selling point: how they systematically prevent dust from entering the rest of the home. Given that understanding, we decided to go ahead, round up our family including both kitties, and book a few nights at the beach, thinking we did not need to prep the house. The morning it was to begin, we were leaving as the team arrived. I noticed they were already jackhammering while sparsely taping loose plastic over only 1 connecting doorway. This prompted me to ask the foreman, using specific wording, "There will be a slight layer of dust right?" No, no dust, I was reassured. I then requested they place additional plastic and even placed some extra tape myself, also requesting tape to cover several holes in the floor myself. The noise was so loud, my family was waiting outside by then and I did not have time to do more, figuring I should be able to trust their process. I was wrong. Immediate installation was rushed. They left noticeable gaps in the plastic sealant on the walls, and our main area of concern, an old cemented closet, leaked with the first rain. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. The initial red flag when we arrived home was a cement-covered front door, opening into our once clean home, which was now completely covered in concrete dust. Additionally, the "specialized air filtration system" was a heavy metal box sitting on loose cones. It had so many wires rigged to fit into one outlet, it tripped the breaker every time we did laundry. Apparently, the team foreman had not been made aware that we were even contracted for air filtration. He did some good work and went the extra mile to install pipes out of the way, yet the company appears to lack proper communication channels, while the sales team makes far-reaching promises. An electrician was promised to properly install it and the sump pump on their own circuits as originally contracted—never happened. It's now been almost 3 months. The Production Manager, Brian, just never followed through, despite repeated calls and promises. Charging us 20,000 dollars for a job that typically runs 8-10,000 at most, we expected top-of-the-line service. What we got is an ongoing headache and egregious waste of our time and money.

I had to have a new drainage system around my basement perimeter, sewer pipe leaking and window well drains with vaper barrier to catch and prevent water entry. The crew Gilbert Lopez , Donald Ellis and Edwin Soto Cruz were amazing. There was a few things that were unexpected during my project, but Gilbert and his crew are very knowledgeable and they offered solutions to the issues. They were very respectful of my home. They really showed how much they cared about me as a person and not just another customer. They communication skills abd customer service is amazing. They did an amazing job. If you need work at your home request this crew. You won't be disappointed. I would recommend them without reservation.

Very pleased with Groundworks. Representative was out to do estimate a day or two after contact.Price was reasonable and work was scheduled within 2 weeks. The crew arrived on time and finished the job quicker than we expected and it was frigid outside. Very neat job.We were so impressed we scheduled another job before they left. B Belsky

Chris Trevor’s conducted the most comprehensive inspection of my home during my yearly service. He asked me specific questions and walked around my home as I explained my concerns. Not only did he notice issues that I hadn’t picked up on , but he thoroughly explained why I was experiencing them. Chris is very efficient and a nice guy, 2 qualities I like to see in experienced technicians. I hope to see him at my next scheduled inspection.

Michael Mareska, the project manager was very accommodating and led me through the process and all they were going to do. The job was done beautifully. His team of Joseph, Jaden and Austin were top notch. Very pleased.

Mike and Josh arrived on time and didn’t stop working until the job was done. They put throw rugs down and plastic up to keep the dust to a minimum. Mike and Josh were kind and professional I would recommend them.

We had Cliff and George Wertz do our job. They were on time, efficient, and expert! The crawl space was a complete mess, but now it is clean, neat, and tidy. They installed an air purifier/ dehumidifier also. I highly recommend these guys and the GroundWorks company!

GroundWorks did an awesome job on my driveway and sidewalk. Aaron Lenker & Jacob Rodolfo were very professional. They did excellent work, cleaned the area very well. Answered all my questions, and were very polite. I would recommend GroundWorks and these to guys to everyone that needs work done.

Chris Trevitz was on time and explained important things about maintaining the backup power for my pump system. He also pointed out several things on the property I may want to consider in the future. I appreciated his suggestions and his kind, friendly and honest personality. So far, the water remediation work done a year ago is working out beautifully and I would recommend Groundworks to others without reservation.
