Scaldino Basement Solutions

Scaldino basement waterproofing came into my home to provide me with a free estimate and followed through with exceptional service.  He was prompt, professional and knowledgeable.  His team educated me on the process and provided me with a warranty, as he mentioned he does on all of his jobs. 

I called Scaldino Basement on a Monday and was able to have someone come and look at my home a few days later. Nick was able to give me multiple options that were affordable and remedy the water in my basement. Once I had looked over my quote, I was able to call and give a deposit and had my job scheduled for the very next week. Nick and his crew were very friendly and professional the entire time.  They cleaned up after themselves and the basement actually looked cleaner when they left.  Couldn't be happier with the results. I am confident that I will have no more water.  I would highly recommend Scaldino basement

They were able to do the job for me quickly, cleanly and with high end equipment at a reasonable price. I would recommend them.

We were very pleased with our experience with Nick Scaldino and his team. We had met with a few different providers (one talked down to us because we hadn't read their reams of promotional materials before coming by for an estimate; another was an old-school local guy who didn't explain anything at all). I was getting frustrated with the process which is why I actually joined Angie's List. Scaldino was top-rated in the area, so I gave him a call. From the start, it was a different experience with Scaldino. Nick was a straight shooter, explained what we needed (and what we didn't), and gave us a reasonable estimate that was in-line with the others even though he was including more. I checked one of his references and had him start the following week. We were very satisfied with the work that was done. His guys were hard working (Nick was in and out throughout the process and reachable by phone and email) and focused on getting the job done. It's a messy process with lots of dust (they covered stuff, but it didn't do a lot), but they brought everything in and out of a basement window which helped. The job took a few days, and everything was done to our satisfaction. It hasn't rained yet, but with all of the snow melting, I'm sure we'll be able to get the true measure of the job soon enough. I'm confident that if there is an issue, Nick will be all over it. One last thing: on the heels of the waterproofing, we jumped in immediately with finishing half of the basement. Our GC was around during the days that Scaldino was working at our house (the GC was dropping off materials, dealing with permits, etc.), and he said that he was very impressed with the job that they were doing as well as the materials they were using. I took additional reassurance in hearing that from someone with a more informed viewpoint than my own.

the carpet was wet as we had a leak.  I found them on Angie's list.  They did work on the outside of the house.  One of the stipulations I had was this it should not clog.  It keeps clogging on the outside of the house now.  It ended up causing more problems for us than we had before.  Inside the house, they stared pulling off walls.  Later on, I found out how it should have been done.  They pulled out the entire paneling and wall from the ceiling and all the insulation to see if it was damp.  Something that should have cost a few thousand dollars will end up costing at least 50 thousand.  I am not an expert.  I do not know how it should have been done.  Another company said that is not how it should have been done when I had to redo the house again.  It was not necessary to pull out walls.  I was surprised by how they did it.  I did give them permission to check the walls.  My mistake was I told them I was remodeling.  We did find some mold at the bathroom.  He recommended me to a sister company to check mold.  It cost me thousands.  They changed their name recently, I think. The outside work cost 1800 dollars. Inside, they charged about 400 dollars.  They took off a lot of things.  It was 2400 dollars.  When I found out how it should have been done, he then said, we just started doing this a year ago, maybe you need more of a specialist.  He should have told me this is not what we do, right off the bat!  All my neighbors were having mold problems too.

Our small condo association (4 apartments) hired Scaldino Basement Solutions to install 2 professional grade sump pumps in the area outside the foundation of our house.  During heavy rains (not hurricanes, just hard rain) we had an excess of a foot of water in the area with standard sump pumps.  Scaldino Basement Solutions came on time to give us a quote and update the quote at my request before we actually decided to schedule the work (over a 6 month period). 
They came on the scheduled day to complete the work and finished in the time indicated (although they were about 20 minutes late arriving.  We live in an area with lots of traffic, so this was understandable.  I still gave them an A for punctuality).  The scope of the work included installing a drain in a brick patio, removing a concrete edge that was trapping water, and installing 2 commercial grade sump pumps.
Through a slight missed communication, the drain was installed to the right of a drain, rather than the left as I thought it would be. 
Since it was in the brick and couldn?t be moved, Scaldino Basement Solutions gave us a discount on the work.  This would not have been problem if I had been home during the work since I would have caught it sooner.  Again, it was very minor.  For future work, I'd draw a diagram of the layout.
I have waited several months to write the review, since I could only test the work after a heavy rain.  We?ve had multiple hard rain storms with absolutely no water back-up.  Extremely happy with the work they completed and our building will be hiring them in the future for service as needed on the pumps (they do offer annual maintenance).  The other people in our building are also very happy with the work.

I called Scaldino's and dealt with Nick Scaldino who was very professional and affable.  The workers came about two weeks later and did a good job of replacing the sump.  I also paid them to fix the paver stones in front of and behind the house.  I was very happy with the work.  I thought they were a little on the expensive side but when I called around to other places, I found that they were actually the most reasonably priced.  Would definitely use again in the future.

They installed a French Drainage system in the basement to prevent future flooding

. They had to remove panel walls and insulation, dig a trench in the cement floor , install a pump and dig a drain in the back yard. When completed they cemented the floor, removed all the old walls and insulation from the basement and disposed of it all. They were quick and efficient, had a crew of four men, the job was completed in one day.They did an excellent job  , always ready to answer any questions I had. They did a great job

Nick from Scaldino Basements was very professional and prompt.  He had no problems walking me through the entire scope of the project.  His workers were very prompt, courteous and clean.  He and his guys went above and beyond my expectations. Will gladly do business with him again if needed.

He said there was no rush to get the work done.  He was very straight forward and honest.  He was very professional, and pleasant to work with.  I had confidence that if I needed the work done, they would be the right people to do it.

We recently purchased our home, and as one of our inspection items we had Scaldino Basement Solutions repair the sump pump. The old pump was sitting in an unlined hole in the floor which was causing erosion underneath the slab. Nicholas assessed the situation and determined that we needed a proper pit installed with a new pump. He was also able to reassure us that the erosion hadn't yet caused any serious damage. On the scheduled day his crew arrived and performed the work in a few hours. They were professional, neat, and left us with a brand new setup that was properly installed. If we ever need basement work in the future Scaldino Basement Solutions will be the first call.

Nick Scaldino visited to assess my basement water issue, and provided an estimate for a french drain system with sump pump.  Unlike other contractors I had contacted, he was punctual for the appointment, wasted no time, told me exactly what I would need and for a very reasonable price.  We decided not to go ahead with the waterproofing work for unrelated reasons, but we will certainly call him if we decide to move forward with the project in the future.

Scaldino Basement Solutions completed remodeling my basement after a previous contractor did not complete. They sheetrocked , tape and sanded, tile floors, windows . doors and plumbing completed . A very professional company who do outstanding work .  I look forward to doing business with them in the future.

It went very well.  they removed all the water and laid on their stomachs to dig the hole for the pump.  the crawl space was only 2 feet high. I was impressed

Nick came to my house explained my problem, showed me on Internet my problem and how I can fix it myself Very and and professional

He is super punctual.  He had three estimates all together and I thought they were each gave for the different solution for the problem.  He made the most sense to me that's why I hired him.  We had a tremendous amount of rain since May and last night we got two or three inches and it was bone dried so I'm very happy.  Before the work was done, if it just rain a tinny bit water will sip up from the floor so I was really happy with him.  I will hire him back to do more work like putting in new windows.

Scaldino & his entire team are true competent & reliable professionals who recognize the value of their customers. Within a couple of days, Scaldino's team got rid of of our wet basement problem by: jackhammer around my basement perimeter, instlaling pipes, reconcrete trench, install insulating wall vapor barrier. We were very fortunate to hire Scaldino, not only b/c the price was reasonable but also b/c of the quality service they performed.

My interaction with them went good. I liked them.

Basically, it started very good. The owner of the company came and did the estimate and he understood exactly what the situation was, came on time, knew how to remedy the situation and get rid of the problem, gave an idea of the price and then came back with a written estimate. Afterwards, I had them do the work. They were very professional, did the job quickly and as far as I can tell, they did a very good job, cleaned up after themselves, so we were happy.

They quoted me somewhere between $5000 and $6000.  They were very good but I didn’t choose them because I also wanted some plumbing done because I wanted to move my washer-dryer from the upstairs to the basement and they don’t do any electrical work and plumbing, so I didn’t use them.  They explained to me everything I wanted to know about basements.

The estimator did a professional job, but the salesmanship was not as good as the waterproofer I decided to use instead. This provider's estimate was a little lower than the provider I selected, but this provider said the job would take 2 days but the one I picked said they could do it in 1 day (and in fact did do it in 1 day).  This job I wanted done quickly.

We very impressed with the efficiency and quality of their work. They started and finished on time and left the space just as clean as it was when they took it over. Before starting the work, they were very informative and thorough in their approach which helped me to better understand what I was getting. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a french drain or other waterproofing system.

Nick came out to visit the house to give me an estimate for a french drain.  He is very nice, not pushy and he gave me a good price.  I have decided to try to handle the drainage issues from the outside before I resort to the french drain.  I will most certainly use Scaldino if I am not able to resolve from the outside.  Nick is great and comes highly recommended.

Nick Scaldino and his staff Installed a french drain along two walls of our basement and replaced our old old sump pump. They were careful to keep the finished portion of our basement and upstairs clean -- carrying out and disposing of all of the dirt and rocks. They also advised us on the electric upgrading we needed for the pump to be properly installed. They did a great job. While we have not yet had any serious water events since installation (thenk heavens!), we are happy to report that we have not had any water seep in and the new sump pump is so quiet we don't even know its there! They were also very patient with our town permit process!
