Get matched with top house leveling pros in Bedminster, NJ

"We hired Pro Rise Construction LLC for a complete outdoor renovation including walls, patio, and driveway. Everything turned out perfect."

"Got a great deal for gutter cleaning the job was done in few house. Very nice guys! Will call Uprise again in the future for any roofing repairs or other exterior project."

"This is a review of the *experience* we had with Quality. We had the basement waterproofed, so we won't really know how good the job is until a big rainstorm! So this is just the experience we had before and during the job. We reached out to Quality based on the Angie's List reviews, and were convinced by the visit from Greg. He was so knowledgeable about the water problems, and pointed out the years of experience the company has. Also, we weren't looking for a bargain, we were looking for a dry basement, and Greg was very straightforward about all the costs. Now we haven't had a rainstorm yet, so we still don't know the most important thing about the job! But Victor and his crew were fantastic. They knew what they were supposed to do when they got here, and did the whole job-- as quietly as possible-- in less than 4 hours. They were pleasant to have in the house. They left the place clean. So big thanks to all at Quality. P S: Will update when there's a big rainstorm."

"I just bought this house and I really wanted to renovate the whole thing because honestly it looked very bad and everything was detoriating. AB1 came out and spent about 2 hours discussing different kinds of projects and recommending what we should do and breaking down different prices. I decided to go with the stone siding. It was definitely more expensive than regular vinyl, but boy was it worth it. My house looks brand new and went from looking like the worst house on the street to the best! Thank you for really taking your time and getting me through this process! Highly recommend."

"The Situation:
We moved into a new home and discovered that the prior owner had created a makeshift water solution in the basement. We had been in the house for about 3 months and were getting increasingly anxious about this. The water was overflowing into the basement  and eventually running into the sump pit (which incidentally was sitting directly below our breaker box). The sump was exiting across the basement via a pvc pipe hung from the ceiling at an inverted angle. So a lot of the drainage water would backflow back into the pit , or just sit in the middle of the sagging pipe. 
Since we live on a high water table, this was the first major project I wanted to tackle. I researched and interviewed a few companies and after meeting with Bob (the salesman/engineer) we felt comfortable with American A-1s solution and timetable for the job. During the initial inspection we also discovered a bulge in our basement floor caused by hydrostatic pressure.

The Solution : 
French Drains running the perimeter of the basement and two new sump pits position away from the circuit breaker, but still at the lowest level. One of these pits houses 2 sump pumps. One positioned higher than the other in case the first one burns out. The second pit houses a water powered backup (http://www.basepump.com/Products/Basepump.html) positioned at a higher elevation than the standard pumps. This is in case of a power failure during a storm such as a hurricane. American A-1 recommended a different, less complicated water pump but after researching several online I decided on BasePump. I ended up having my own plumber install it , because of the comfort level I have with him. (RAM Plumbing)

The exit strategy was well though out. The exit is directly above the pits through our foundation wall. From there the PVC water pipe runs underground to a seepage pit underground in our front yard which pitches away from the house. While I would have preferred the water to run into the town storm sewers, there is an ordinance in Ridgewood that prevents this.

After the installation we were a bit concerned because the pumps were running every 5 minutes. However recently this has died down to about once ever 90 minutes. And I assume will decline further as the ground dries out from the winter melt. If not we may need to raise the level of our pumps a couple inches.

Lou the foreman of the job was amazing. He was EXTREMELY respectful of our property and concerns. This is not a trivial undertaking. You are essentially jack hammering cement from  your basement and having it removed. When you are buying these drains for the price of a down payment on a nice car, its great not to have to worry.

The only minor issue we ran into was with the electrical inspection. The American A-1 recommended electrician used switches that were not matched to my current breaker box. The inspector failed us for that. The electrician was back within a couple days to change them out and we passed with flying colors.

Anyway ... our basement has been dry since and with the exception of the pump frequency we have had ZERO problems.
Here are a couple pictures of the work ... the staining you see on the floor is just the new cements still not fully cured yet."

"Full waterproofing of the basement in our 95 year old house, including demolition of walls and shelves/cabinets/sinks and plumbing. Additional service of adding a footing to the basement walls. All the work took three days. Excellent work and looks great, though a bit costly."

"Needed gutters cleaning and fixing the guards, Vladimir explained whole job process and gave me good estimate, he started the work immediately. Very satisfied with his timely and detail oriented work, communication was very good from the beginning to the end of his job. If new house project will be needed I will definitely hire Progressive Renovation"

"Eric and his helper arrived on time and were professional greetings me. what I noticed the most, they enjoyed their work and wanted to ensure I was happy with the concrete leveling job. They were respectful of my landscaping and cleaned up. Also, Have to give a shout out to Angie and Kyle for working with my schedule. So glad I chose Quality1st to level the stamped concrete around my pool."

"This is the second time I am using the company. They first did a great job on my rental property that is 150+ years old. For this review, Anthony, Carlos and his crew took care of my primary house that is roughly 80 years old. Carlos and crew showed up a bit late due to traffic, apologized profusely for the delay, which I was fine with since it was out of their control. The crew stayed late and finished the job in one day. The work was nicely done, the worksite was kept clean and the crew were very organized. I would highly recommend them."

"I hired Angelo for several projects. Gutter repair, roof repair, stairway repair, wall repair, gate installation and, the largest, stucco repair. Angelo is professional, responsive, reliable, honest, and takes pride in his work. I was also impressed because three of the projects: the gutter, the roof, and the stucco repair were difficult and dangerous jobs. Our house is highly elevated, so we have a hard time finding people brave enough to work on our house. We looked for months before we found Jersey Pro. Angelo took on all of our projects, and did an outstanding job on all of them. Angelo makes you feel at ease. He is not pushy, he explains everything well, gives a fair price, and he is just a very nice person. I will definitely hire Angelo again for any and all additional projects."
