Get matched with top concrete leveling pros in Manalapan Township, NJ

"Working with DJ from Groundworks (Select Basement) has been an outstanding experience. After struggling with various contractors who either failed to resolve our water issues or were unprofessional, DJ and his team truly stood out. DJ was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. Our home is a ranch with 225 linear feet around the perimeter, and while other contractors insisted on installing a French drain for the entire length, DJ recommended a more targeted approach. He proposed installing the French drain for just 80 linear feet, focusing only on the areas where water intrusion was likely. His thorough explanations and prompt responses to all our questions were greatly appreciated. The workers arrived on time, maintained a clean work environment, and completed the job as promised. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Groundworks is a highly professional and honest company that didn't try to inflate the scope of work to charge us more. We wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Everything went smoothly"

"It was quite good! Rich made quick work of removing 3 stumps. Cleaned up afterwards, left the lawn in tact. No complaints."

"We hired Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to install pavers at our home in May. The work has NOT been completed as of today July 16th. It was to be a 1 week, 5 day job with a promise to come everyday until the work was completed. That 1st week on the 2nd day Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC did NOT show up. He said he was getting supplies for the project. He has a multi person team so while he was purchasing supplies, his team should have been demolishing the old pavers/deck . No one came that day thus pushing the projects completion avoidably back. Some of the ensuing delays and complications, were due to issues with our homeowners association. Throughout this process, dealing with the HOA, Justin remained professional and did his best to resolve the HOA’s demands in our favor. He was unsuccessful. The project is still not completed. Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC had advised us to use permeable pavers, with appropriate spacing & grout between the pavers, to allow the shower to drain. Unfortunately, this “system” he recommended & installed does NOT allow the water to drain. It floods the pavers creating puddles & may take anywhere from 12-24 hours to dissipate! Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC now says we need to install a drain which was never offered as an option. We are far from experts but had we been offered the choice between a system that may be effective, the permeable pavers & one that is a sure thing, a drain, we obviously would have elected the sure thing. We relied on Justin’s Wright JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC expertise which as outlined proved not to function. Upon reporting this dilemna to Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC he recommended he install a drain, but of course now wishes to add on another charge! The second problem we are experiencing as a result of Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC “subpar” ( the words of our HOA) work is a street repair, which proved necessary after the pavers were laid . Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC elected to use a cold patch, not asphalt as previously was in place. After the cold patch was installed, the HOA & I inspected the cold patch repair. The HOA deemed the work subpar, contacted an outside contractor to repair the cold patch with asphalt & expected us to pay for the repair. Fortunately, we were able to get a reprieve from the HOA with Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC promising to repair the cold patch. The cold patch was repaired on approximately June 16th but has still not cured. When I informed Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC on July 6th that the cold patch still had not cured , was fragile & soft , he texted me “impossible”. I am concerned that the HOA will still find the work subpar, putting me at risk for a reprimand, fine &/or another costly expense to fix the street where the cold patch has not performed as required. Subsequently, I requested a meeting at our property to demonstrate the failings of the shower & cold patch. I had previously asked that he come by the property anytime, even if we’re not there, to assess the situation . This did NOT occur. I texted him this past Friday July 11, with no response. I again texted him on July 13. He now states that the cold patch needs time to cure. This after telling us, as mentioned above, it was “impossible” that the cold patch hadn’t cured. On Sunday July 13th, he recommended we talk tomorow. He NEVER called. I texted him that evening reminding him that he neglected to call. At 11:58 pm he texted “call tomorrow”. I NEVER heard back from him & waited until Wednesday evening when I again reminded him that he did not call as he stated he would do. He again did NOT call despite asking what his plan was. This morning I provided a brief synopsis of this review to Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC. He answered within 1 minute!!!! He said he would call & we should be available at 10 am. I have been waiting for the call as requested & it is now 2:05pm & he has NOT called. Accordingly I will have to wash my hands of Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC & chalk up my experience to a dishonest, unreliable contractor who tells you what he thinks you want to hear. At this point we are left with a shower that doesn’t drain, a large area cold patch (one foot by twenty feet -1’ by 20’ ) that is soft, fragile & uncured as well as an HOA that is unhappy (potentially causing us additional hardships). To resolve these issues it wil require additional funds. We are now at the point wher we will have to consider legal remedies. This review is intended to help future customers in choosing a paving contractor. We wish we had read a review such as ours, so that we could have avoided all of these frustrations & costs. At least you will be able to avoid these pitfalls by NOT choosing Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to work on your property. Videos/photos of the flooding shower & still soft cold patch will be posted on Youtube & are also available upon requst."

"On time, on scheduled! Original estimate was changed due to our request from us to change some things. All of this work was done at the tail end of Covid- the workers wore masks and were very respectful! Great group to work with! HIRE them you will not be disappointed!!"
