MARYLAND CONCRETE FOUNDATION

.

Most of the prices I got were close, but one was cheaper. However I
didn't feel comfortable using that company due to their lack of
suggestions and help as compared to Maryland Concrete Foundation. The
estimator did an incredible job of suggesting ways to make my foundation
better, found some problems that would have been impossible to fix in
the future, and had no problem going back in and making change after
change to my bid! He offered extras I knew nothing about, certian walls
should be thicker due to high back fill, rebar in the wall that wasn't
on my house plan but makes the walls much stronger. And much better
foundation coatings, drain systems that again not required but will last
longer and keep a drier basement! The suggestions he had were above and
beyond what I was building and many cost no extra money, like he placed
a radon sump pit in the basement for free and I was able to have my
plumber place a exit pipe for the gasses in it. And he suggested I put
traps in any drain pipes in the floor, like the condensate line for the
A/C unit, he said radon gases can come up through it. The guy was
incredibly knowledgeable when it came to everything. The other
contractor was going to install a regular sump pit that doesn't seal, if
I had radon problems in the future it would have had to be torn out!
And he designed concrete steps for me outside all custom, I haven't seen
anything else like it. The sidewalks also came out great, his radius
design worked out great for the landscaping in front of the house. A
friend of ours builds houses and recommended them, and we are glad we
listened. WE can't thank them enough for the extra help they provided.
