"I contacted The Crack Team for foundation wall crack waterproofing after finding water near our utility lines and basement corner. They arrived on time, answered all my questions, and did clean work. What impressed me most was how respectful and honest the crew was throughout the whole process. The leaking stopped completely and the area looks great now."

"The job involved 2 brick paver walkways that needed to be completely redone and expanded. This father and son were a pleasure to work with. Very detailed in exactly what they would do, we left the pattern up to them and it turned out beautiful. They were there every morning and put in a full day. Completed the job 2 days ahead of time. They were both really detailed oriented. When they left the yard was spotless. They even power washed the driveway where they cut the bricks. We have worked with alot of contractors over the years. I cant say enough about how happy we are with their work. I would use them again in a heartbeat. We live on a corner so their work is on display on the side street side of the house. We have already had people stop and tell us how beautiful it looks."

"They repaired a crack in my basement wall using very ingenious permanent technology at a reasonable price from the inside of my basement. Very honest. Cleaned up afterwards. As opposed to their competition they individualized what I needed specific to my problem."

"I had Art and his team help me repair my patio. They went above and beyond. After seeing their work I know they have years of experience with not only brick repair but in masonry as a whole. They were kind and helpful. They also made sure I knew what they were doing from start to finish. My patio is stunning and looks brand new. They were able to match my brick color and everything! I, without a doubt, will be a returning customer of theirs. Thank you!!!"

"Ron was very good about matching the replacement bricks. He was very diligent about doing the best job possible so I would not have to worry about any future problems with my chimney . I would recommend his excellent repair abilities to neighbors and friends who need brick repairs."

"They answered all of our questions. The work they did on our chimney is exactly what we wanted. Looking at them to do a new metal roof. Just waiting to hear about the estimate."

"I am a licensed structural engineer, and I hired Russ because it was very clear that he knows what he is doing. He properly sized and reinforced new concrete foundations and masonry piers. And, to his credit, he would not build new foundations on saturated soil because soil is weaker when wet - Russ waited until the soil was dry enough to safely build on, to make sure things went right. Russ made sure I was satisfied throughout the entire process. He maintained communication with me so I could plan accordingly for the work to happen. His crew was mindful, professional and courteous. They cleaned up after their work, patched a minor issue with a duct that was in their way, and warned me to close my windows when they needed to sawcut masonry blocks, to prevent dust and noise in the house. His son was part of the team at my house each day and is equally committed to the work. Russ was on site for all 3 of the days required to finish my work, and he came out again at the end to discuss the results and give me my invoice. My single word of caution to other customers is just to be aware that simply because of Russ' expertise, he is busy with other jobs, at least in summer 2016. He will work with you to determine priority and your job will get done, and done RIGHT, but you may need to be a little patient due to his other jobs or weather. Talk with him about this if you are concerned about timeline. I hired him in spring/summer so other work is probably at a maximum during this time. All in all, I would absolutely hire him again and have already recommended to a friend. Russ is committed to making you happy, and his rate was much better than the competition."

"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."
