"Throughout the process, NV Waterproofing was fantastic. I scheduled an appointment for Monday and Jim showed up on time to review my current system, give me recommendations and an estimate for performing the work. The whole process took about 15 minutes.
Jane, their office manager, is great to work with. She is a delight to talk to, always cheerful, but to the point.
The team that came to install the system were a bit late arriving, but finished the job in 3 hours, rather than the 4 that they had quoted, so can't really complain about that. They were very tidy, laying down runners from the front door to the area in the basement where the sump pump is housed and kept everything nice and clean.
I really enjoyed working with this company. They were honest, efficient, and very professional.
Recommended highly and will use them for whatever waterproofing needs I have in the future.
"I had a great experience with Precision Renovation and Construction. They were much cheaper and easier to work with than the other contractors I spoke to about my job. I called them Sunday, someone came out to give me an estimate Monday, and they did the job on Tuesday. They charged me $200 to remove a large concrete block and repair some patio pavers. Other contractors quoted me several hundred more. James was very friendly and did a great job."
"Very pleased with our concrete leveling solution—we now have a safe sidewalk for our entryway again. It matched Bobby’s estimate, and their team was able to fit this small job into their workload without much wait. Before Bryan R. performed the task, he professionally explained what was going to be accomplished, how the process works, and provided several suggested recommendations. Would refer them again."
"We contracted B-B & Son Construction to undertake a concrete patio project on our property, and they did an exceptional job. The team was professional throughout the process and provided us with a range of options, recommending solutions that met our specific needs. They arrived on schedule and left the site spotless once they finished the job. We found their pricing highly competitive, and they deliver quality services at a reasonable cost. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the work they did."

"We were very pleased with the 2 different jobs they did. They replaced concrete steps and at the other job, they replaced entire driveway and sidewalk. Both jobs were excellent. Everyone was polite and cleaned up everything at the end of the job."
"Absolutly stellar performance by Capital Paving and Construction. They are incredibly responsive, professional, and committed to delivering a quality product for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend their services - they will be the go to paving contractor for me in the future."
"Excellent job! Mr. Watson & his team were prompt and walked me through the process step-by-step for my concrete patio. Pricing.was great and I have already referred some friends to Watson & Sons."
"It looks wonderful and we have neighbors complementing on the work. We also had previous problems with the water coming in the walls and it is not doing that anymore as we can tell."
Generally speaking, push piers—or steel piers—are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers.
Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, driveways, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it’s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.
Yes, expanding foam (also known as polyurethane foam) can lift concrete. This approach, called polyjacking, involves injecting the foam rather than concrete slurry to fill voids and raise the concrete slab back into place. It’s often faster and requires smaller drill holes than traditional mudjacking, though it may come at a higher cost. Some contractors also prefer polyjacking over mudjacking for more damaged and delicate slabs.
Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue—like poor drainage—at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you’re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don’t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking.
A good slump height really depends on the project, but there is a use for nearly all slump levels. For example, low slumps are best in projects that require structure, such as curbs and roads. High slumps often require additional reinforcement, but they flow more freely into hard-to-reach spaces.
