Best foundation drain installation pros near Marmora, NJ

"I'm not fully moved into the home yet, but I will update when I am there permanently. The crew was very professional, worked diligently, cleaned up after every day of work (three day job--french drain expansion, two additional sump pumps installed, window drains into the sump pumps, pretty extensive job)."

"From the initial phone call to the completion of the job Quality 1st provided top notch professional service. A couple points which makes this easy to write. Communication is key whether in person or via telephone and Q1 was exceptional in this regard at every point. Telephone conversations with customer services was pleasant and cordial, never rushed or snotty. Paul our salesman was here for quite a while answering questions and assessing our needs in the basement. Of only was he on time for our appointment he was about 10 minutes early too. The cost of this project was a good chunk of change for us but after too many times of shop-vac’ing water we knew it was time to bite the bullet and move forward with making life a little easier and not have the issue of when will we get water in the basement again hanging over our heads. I was impressed that Quality 1st uses their own products and has their own R&D facilities. As for the installation, enough cannot be said for the crew that was here. I got the call at 9am they would be here in 20 minutes and at 9:20 they were backing in my driveway. I met the foreman Mario and his 2 helpers. We went into the basement and they looked around and asked if I had any questions. We had almost everything out of the basement and what was left they covered in plastic. By 9:50am they were running the jackhammers. We have a 1,500 sqft ranch and these guys worked all day, they didn’t stop and worked their tails off. I can’t remember exactly when the jackhammer stopped but by 2 pm the channel was dug out and they were beginning to lay out for the channel that carries the water to the sump. About 4pm Kyle showed up to assess the job and see if I had any questions or concerns. We spoke about the job and we went downstairs to see the progress. He stayed on site for about 45 minutes after making sure I was comfortable with how the job was going. By 5:15 or so the job was completely finished. Before they left Mario went over everything regarding the sump system. As far as cleanup, this is a dusty job. Concrete dust is ultra fine and they did a fantastic job of not only sweeping but they also dusted off areas which were not covered in plastic. They left no mess to speak of., I was very satisfied with their work and attention to detail. It’s easy to nitpick any job at anytime and there is nothing I would call them out on. Finally as for the functionality of the sump system I wish I had a comment on that at this time. We’ve lived in our house for 25 years and until around Thanksgiving of this year (2018) we’ve only had water about 4 times. Between Thanksgiving (2018) and New Years (2019) we got slammed 4 times and nothing since. With the symptoms of how our basement got water, I feel comfortable with the system Quality 1st installed and am confident they will stand behind their work and warranty. We’re also happy this is transferable to the next homeowner when we sell the house and it is an excellent selling point when the time comes."

"Dana knew right away that the problem was with the air handler. As it turned out the condensation drip pan had filled up and tripped the over flow switch. PTL for that switch. Dana drained the pan and cleared the drain. All ok now. Thanks for the help. Nice job Dana."

"This company did a first class job solving a basement foundation water infiltration problem in our commercial office building in Upper Bucks County, PA. A project manager came out to assess our situation; he came up with a proposed solution on the spot, provided us with a written proposal and sample photos of other similar work they had done. The work required excavating a small portion of the foundation on the exterior and filling a crack in the foundation wall down to the footers. The crew came out as scheduled and completed the job in a single day as predicted. Some follow up tweaks were needed, and I'm happy to say that the customer service team and follow up crew responded promptly and made some necessary adjustments to button up the job as promised. This is a first class operation and I do not hesitate to recommend this outfit to other colleagues and property owners needing this service."

"Very professional from start to finish! The salesman/ design technician showed up right on time, he listened to my concerns and came up with the solution on the spot! The price was less than expected and the project was done in a very timely manner! The technicians who did the work were also punctual and did a phenomenal job!! Perfect installation of a drain and pump system, fast and neat, cleaned up 100%. The office staff also polite and very efficient! I can not speak for any other services they provide, but for waterproofing, I do not think anyone could do it better!"

I am writing this recommendation for Procrete and their owner Dave McBride. I decided to engage Dave and Procrete after searching for a hardscape / paver contractor local to my summer house in Margate. There are many contractors who will work at the shore, but my preference was to find a company based in the area vs. an hour away.

Dave was very professional in his approach, and consultative. I shared with him what we were looking for, to completely rebuild our back yard, from 50 year old ugly cracked concrete and a chain link fence to a new vinyl fence and pavers.

We shared our vision, and Dave’s firm provided a sketch of what the back yard could look like with a specific paver design, which we ended up going with – while making a few changes along the way.

We also had Dave install a built-in gas firepit that has exceeded our expectations. It is now the central point of our new back yard.

While at it, I also had Dave replace my old cracked driveway with new concrete and pavers for my front walkway. AS his team was already at my house doing a job, the extra cost was not prohibitive.

My biggest concern going in was using a contractor that I did not have a previous referral for. Dave provided referrals plus a list of properties in the local area that he did work on.

I must say, the work was top notch and we are thrilled with how our back yard came out. I had no less than 4 neighbors comment on the work they were doing and their commitment to doing a good job vs. a fast job.

I have been screwed before by contractors that finish the job 80-90% and then never come back to truly complete the job. Dave even came back to finish all of my items on a punch list after the job was done.

I 100% recommend Dave and Procrete for hardscaping, paver and concrete work.

"Plumber came to residence and fixed a clogged drain promptly. Job was completed in less than 30 minutes."

"Clay's is without a doubt the best HVAC contractor in the area.  Estimate was provided by Clay and he spent about an hour at my home going over the details of the job during the visit.  I can be somewhat of a demanding customer and Clay was patient, courteous, and professional when it came to answering all my questions and discussing the details of job.
The job in my home was a pretty significant undertaking particularly since it was a retrofit (i.e. NOT new contruction), a complete tear out and replacement of the existing equipment, and some things were being relocated to other areas of the home.  On the first day of the job Clay and his foreman did a walkthrough of the job with me.  Due to scheduling and weather issues it was two months from time of estimate to job start and surprisingly Clay remembered every detail of my home and the job!  On the first day of work, tear out day, there were no less than 7 workers present to complete the task.  That's serious commitment to getting the job done!  The job required access to every area of my home...attic, crawlspace, and all living spaces.  We were without heat for the first three days of the install and Clay's left us with 4 electric space heaters which surprisingly kept the house quite comfortable.  After each work day the crew would clean their work area and the parts of the home they accessed.  My wife would comment each night when she returned form work that you couldn't even tell they had been there.  Work crews promptly arrived at my home at 7AM each day and departed between 3-4PM depending on what they needed to finish up.
Would like to also mention that I have had some interaction with the service team (Mike and Matt) to install an upgraded control board and complete system start-up in the spring.  The service dept. is just as good as the installation team!
Bottom line:  high quality installation, professional service both pre and post installation, courteous and respectful employees, and Clay's delivered on everything agreed upon in our contract.  While the cost of our particular installation was high that was largely a function of the scope of work and quality of equipment purchased.  Clay's wasn't the lowest bid but their estimate was perfectly reasonable.  As they say, you get what you pay for.  Don't undervalue the quality of any HVAC installation because that matters most.  Just a general FYI our old AC unit was 35 years old (i.e. very inefficient) and ducting in our home was terrible.  Electric costs to cool our 2,400 sq ft home in the summer used to run $300-$400.  As installed, the new system is approximately 14-14.5 SEER and that has translated into a $100-200 monthly savings on our electric bill.

"Fred and his staff were beyond amazing. We had some foundation requirements along with special styling and they achieved all of our requests with extra care. The rough design was turned into a patio that we were imagining in our dreams. They warned us of their busy schedule and still beat their estimated time of completion by over two weeks. We have several tradesmen peers who were astonished by the quality of the work. The quality of the stamping and finishing work was done above expectations. They colored, power-washed, and used a high end sealer with grit to finish. The turnaround time from when they started the job to end was around 4 days. We could walk on it after a few days."

"New 2 car concrete driveway with a paver border and new sidewalk in front of the house were installed. Justin and his father, Frank completed the job in 4 days. They removed an old pebble driveway and an old 82 ft wide concrete sidewalk. They selected a great paver to match the existing paver walkway to the side porch. Meticulous job start to finish and a very reasonable cost compared to other local bids. Gave accurate quote and start and finish dates."
