We have the highest praise for Scaldino Basement's expertise and ethics. Its rep Keith identified the problem - and the total cost was minuscule! It was essentially a paint job we needed (which Scaldino does not do!) and replacing a leaky basement window! We'd been told it would cost $12,000 by another basement company. Hats off to Scaldino's integrity! And Keith was a wonderful human being as well. Salim Lone, Princeton 8 8 25 Salim Lone

Very pleased. They repaired my foundation, added a drain, and replaced my sump pump. They did a good job and cleaned up. Most notably, it rained virtually the entire time they were there. Terrific workers!

Pretty good overall. Estimator recommended additional French drain on an inside wall which didn't need it. After discussion we had a better plan, was basically about 60 ft of drain to existing sump. Work crew was typical, with both skilled and unskilled workers in it, but left minor debris in places I didn't notice until they were gone; I cleaned it up. Details included a few small open drain grilles, which are fragile plastic and not installed neatly, but I guess they'll do. Company was responsive. Office was polite. Drain is probably good overall, but not yet tested by severe weather. A competitor's estimate was slightly higher.

Very Happy with work provided by Johnny and crew. We always had a "lake " in our yard and Nick provided excellent solution by installing dry wells. Problem Solved. We can use our yard again. Thanks Scaldino

We could not be happier with Scaldino Basement. Excellent service from start to finish. Fast appointment and they were able to accommodate our emergency situation. Nick went above and beyond assisting us. Rob "Sump Pump Geek" came out on Holiday Weekend to replace our pump to keep us dry until drains were installed. Excellent people to work with.

Excellent. Mitch came to our home to give honest inspection. He reviewed my home inspection report and provided solutions which solved our problem. This is my 2nd time using Scaldino for my rental home based on excellent work in my Colonia property.

I called Scaldino Basement to evaluate a flooding problem we were experiencing. After speaking with Debbi in office we knew we were on the right track. Nick came out and evaluated our home and provide an excellent solution. His team worked long and hard to stop the leaks and prevent any further issues. Thanks Scaldino for being such a well rounded professional company.

Horribly, the representative Isaiah from Scaldino incorrectly diagnosed the problem of my water as ground water form possibly underground springs. I waited 3 weeks and then was again delayed the day of the work. The work took 8 hours (was promised 3) and lefty with a hole in my wall unfinished. The sump pump was also examined by another contractor and was not installed to empty into the waste pipes but into my street via my gutter and letters. The problem persisted within 3 days and the contractor has no remedy except to try and seal a crack ib my foundation believed to be the source of the problem. However, once properly diagnosed the water stemmed from a broken pipe in my wall. So after 3 weeks, exhaustive waiting, sloppy work and a cost of $2,000.00 the problem still persisted until another professional correctly found the broken pipe. This company has no reliability nor would I ever recommend them for their workmanship.
Response from Scaldino Basement Solutions
"Hello [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry if you feel Isaiah diagnosed your problem wrong. It is hard when a homeowner like yourself has a finished basement. Isaiah asked you all the symptoms you saw and came to the conclusion it was groundwater seeping through. As a waterproofing company we can not demo finished walls to look behind so we have to go with what the homeowner sees. Our job was installed 100% correctly. It is illegal to connect a sump pump to the waste line and we won't do it for a number of reasons. Your job was never delayed and we did it the date that was on the contract as stated. Furthermore, If you would've contacted us earlier after the problem persisted as stated we would've gladly helped you in any way we can. Please feel free to contact us anytime to rectify your situation. We look forward to hearing from you."

We are very happy with the way our basement turned out.  Nick is very professional and a pleasure to work with.  For the basement finishing, he contracted Choma Corp to do most of the work.  There were a few hiccups along the way but Nick corrected the issues immediately as he oversaw the project.  The electrical was done by Hamid of Assurance Electrical and we were very pleased with his work as well.  The project did take over two months to complete but it was worth it in the end.  Again, we are very satisfied with the work performed and look forward to enjoying our new basement!

We had a great experience with Nick and team.  We bought a home and subsequently found out that ground water seeps into the basement when it rains.  We brought in several companies for an estimate, and were concerned as some of the estimates were north of $9K.  Nick came and gave us a very competitive estimate, was able to start the work quickly, and his team worked quickly to minimize the inconvenience.  Not only that, Nick also agreed to include waterproofing the stairs leading into the basement at no extra cost.  Thus far, everything works as advertised!  Glad we went with Scaldino!

After reading the reviews on Angie's list and receiving an estimate from Nick, the owner of Scaldino, I decided to go with Scaldino Basement versus another competitor.  I am very happy that I did.  I had the whole basement waterproofed.  Which consisted of a new sump pump, french drain system, dehumidifier, drain pipe installation, etc.  The workers were very professional, courteous and prompt.  Nick the owner was very pleasant and answered all my questions. The company did a great job and they completed my job within the time frame Nick said it would take.  I am so pleased and thrilled with my basement!  I highly recommend them.  They were excellent!

Nick  and his men arrived on time and  were very professional.  They kept everything as tidy as possible while working outside & made it easy to come in & out of the house during the day. Everything went extremely well
