Get matched with top house leveling pros in Ledgewood, NJ

"We hired them to build a retaining wall to level out our sloped backyard and install a new patio. They recommended natural bluestone bordered by classic bricks, and wow?what a difference! The stonework is flawless, perfectly level, and handles heavy rain with zero drainage issues. It looks like a high-end resort back here now. Worth every penny."

"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."

"For the price you pay, the quality of work is excellent. Very accommodating in terms of timing on when the installation could be done. When reviewing billing and pricing, all iâ s weâ re dotted and all Tâ s were crossed. Time will tell how well the quality of job holds up, but I already noticed my house being IMMENSELY quieter prior to the new roof installation, which should speak to some level on the quality of work and materials used. All work was done in a single day, which was also fantastic, and then all work was reviewed by the owner himself, which was a very nice touch."

"My wife and I were having trouble in our basement, as we were getting a mysterious puddle down there every so often, and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. We'd had vents replaced, sump pumps replaced, and then had two other basement companies come in to look at the issue. Now, we have french drains down there already, but they were installed before we bought the property. Both of the first two basement companies told us our drainage system was either all wrong or installed improperly, and that we'd have to install a whole new system along one wall for $4k (said the first company) or along all four walls for $14k (said the second company). That didn't seem right to me, particularly as we had a drainage system, but both companies seemed to care more about their sales pitch than addressing the problem.
At that point, I signed up for Angie's List (moral of the story, thank you AL) and called American A-1 with my hunch. Jeff came over the next day and was first and foremost a super friendly, extremely knowledgable guy.First, he took a look at our current drainage system and said something the other two hadn't — that, while he would have done one or two things differently, our french drains looked to be installed perfectly fine. So he started poking around other places as I explained what the other two companies had said. He wasn't only shocked at the price, but mortified that somebody would tell us to rip up our basement like that. As a former building inspector, he seemed to really great knowledge set in general (he even gave me some free tips as he was looking around), and eventually came to the conclusion that he thought it was a plumbing issue, most likely something to do with the boilers. Jeff said he wished he could do more, but he wasn't a trained plumber, but said that would be his next phone call. He wished me all the best and left his card.
Fast forward a few weeks, and it turns out Jeff was exactly right: a plumber came out and confirmed it was one of the boiler's pressure release systems going off intermittently, and projecting in such a way that it ended up as a puddle far away from it. No basement drain installation necessary.
Seriously, I cannot say enough nice things about these guys. Not only did they save us money, but they saved us from having our basement ripped up and not even having the issue resolved. Jeff didn't make me sit down and listen to a half-hour to an hour sales pitch about this, that, and the other thing — he came and did what I wanted the first two companies to do: try and figure out the problem and not assume they knew what it was.
While I can't speak to their actual work, I can say that I would recommend American A-1 in a heartbeat. I think it's easy to be cynical about service providers these days — and as my first two basement companies goes to show, you should still be — which is why when you find one of the truly good ones, it's such a revelation. American A-1 truly is one of the good ones. Don't hesitate to call them."

"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."

"I have a block foundation with hairline cracks, and I was referred from a colleague who had used this company previously, Eddy sent out a specialist who Explained I was experiencing hydrostatic pressure around the perimeter of my home And gave me several different options to remediate the issue with respect to my budget. I chose to have the cracks patched from the interior as well as have a perimeter drain installed. moisture readings were taken, and the sump pump was also inspected for precautionary measures."

"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"

"Luis and his crew arrived promptly at the prearranged time. He introduced himself and we went over what they were there to do. They proceeded to bring in their equipment and went right to work. When the Sump pump and dehumidifier installation was completed they went over how it worked, advised how to register the respective warranties and started the new equipment. They thoroughly cleaned up the basement where they were working. Luis also went over the outside discharge line for the sump pump. I then exited the house while Luis sprayed for the mold conditions in the basement. I was very satisfied with the professionalism of Luis and his crew and will definitely recommend Quality 1st basements to anyone who are looking for this type of service."

"As a homeowner, I am reluctantly apprehensive because of circumstances beyond my control to do work where a contractor has to be hired. I have a delicate situation, I am a very cooperative understanding person, but life sometime gives us lemon/and uncooperative neighbors. I needed a construction worker not only to do the job-but be extremely tactful and patient enough to deal head-on with some of the most inconsiderate property owner known to man (my neighbor). This is exactly what I found with the owner/operator of Continental Construction. Not only did they do an outstanding job, they were tactful in dealing with rude, obnoxious callous neighbors. I would highly recommend this company and crew. John & Wilmar are not only good construction guys, they truly feel for their client, which speaks volumes for a homeowner. In conclusion; John, Wilmar have not only the physical tools to destroy and build, they also have the compassion which in my book a purely needed factor. Thank you John & Wilmar + crew Sincerely Annette G."
