"We have a strange leak in our basement that recurs every time it rains. To figure out the potential source, we called Alpha Structural, and the entire team was outstanding from the get-go. Lisa Hunter first took a detailed account of and keen interest in our situation, and then Gary Coffing came to inspect our house. Gary possesses an incredible wealth of knowledge about foundation and structural integrity, and gave us a very fair assessment of what might be happening, and what we could and should try first. Rather than make a hard sell to engage Alpha in a major investigation, he suggested we first try a few simpler solutions, including fixing the grading of our soil leading to the basement as well as our gutters. Perhaps this won't work and perhaps it will, but the point is he gave us a full account of what may be happening and a number of specific things to try before pulling the trigger on a major structural ordeal. A HUGE thank you to Gary and the whole team. We hope it doesn't come to it, but if we do need to go down the route of major structural work, we will absolutely call you again."

"We had a second story deck that was leaking water into the garage. We got 4 companies to come and give us a quote.  Two of them were cheaper but they seemed as puzzled as we were about what to do and could not guarantee from future problems. The other company suggested rebuilding the entire deck and was way out of budget. Ryan from Monarch Custom Coatings came with a sample that had several layers to waterproof the deck - we were very impressed that he was very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience with this type of work. He and his crew worked very hard, always professional, prompt, courteous, and our deck looks amazing now. We were so happy with them that we hired them again to redo the garage floors. We have had bad experiences in the past with contractors, so we know that finding a good, reliable, and honest one is very hard and rare. We highly recommend Monarch Custom Coatings!"

Attention to detail, micro management and great customer service is what its all about. Anyone can be a contractor and perform home improvement services, but only a select few do it with out causing heartache and large amounts of stress to the client. We pride ourselves by being one of the few, knowing that we treat your house as if it were ours, with respect.\nwe believe that a great kitchen, bathroom, addition, or general remodel can be a fun stress free process, and it all starts with the right contractor.\nWe offer great service, free estimates by the head contractor and no home improvement sales reps. that charge an arm and a leg, from start to finish there is only one captain, and that is what gets the job done.

"From start to finish Will was very professional and knowledgeable about his job. The price he gave me was extremely reasonable and the time allotted for the job was just one day. I checked prices with other company and the cost of work was 3 times over the amount  that Will estimated for my house.
Work Day: He came early with his team. All of them very hard working people. They all did a magnificent job. Very trusted people. I did not have any problem leaving my house to them. They even took care of my cats.
My house needed more work and Will did it with out charging more money. It was something that needed to be done and he did it.
Thank you for the great experience as a homeowner. Everyday I come to my house I have a happy face and think about all the work that you guys did leveling the house and fixing the foundation. BTW I do not hear any creaking any more. :-) 
If anyone need more information about the work done by Will and his team, please let me know. I will be very happy to provide you with more details.
Thanks,

"While we reviewed the project and determined utilizing different services might yield a better end result, Danny was a true professional all the way through. He showed up on time, provided me with his feedback and guided me through some alternate options. In the end and though this particular project was not a good fit, it is thanks to Danny that I will call upon him and Good Fellas again. Thank you!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Sandbags are the most common and efficient way to create a flood barrier at home. Some local authorities pass them around to homes before the risk of a flood. Otherwise, you can use flood-proof house materials, like burlap or woven plastic bags, to make sandbags and fill them with sand or cat litter. Make sure that when you stack them, they’re tightly laid on top of each other, creating the effect of a firm wall against accumulating water.

Topical sealers adhere to the surface of concrete to create a protective layer. In many cases, this is all you need for concrete that sees light to moderate traffic, such as your basement. Penetrating sealers, on the other hand, bond with the free lime in the top layer of concrete to form calcium silicate, which prevents liquid from passing through. This type of sealer protects the surface from water, oil, and gasoline spills.

Yes, it’s worth it to repair a crawl space foundation, even if the issue seems relatively minor. Foundation problems often get worse and more expensive to fix if you leave them untreated. Additionally, your entire home, from the framing and flooring to the roof system, relies on the foundation for even and level support. Issues with your foundation will almost always manifest as problems in and above your living space, so it’s important to find a solution.

No, your basement dehumidifier doesn’t need to be on 24/7. While it’s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.

The best way to ensure the ground next to your home’s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil.
