"Iggy and his team at Uprise Construction did a stellar job on our huge roof replacement. The completely took out the old roof, and put a brand new one with my favorite shingle color. At every step along the way we felt honestly communicated with and cared for on a personal level. They managed to finish within our original timeline as promised."
"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."
"Tim had initially come over for the installation of a French drain on the side of the house, but instead uncovered that our foundation had receded away from the house due to past water damage. He immediately stepped into gear explaining every detail to me and gave me a quote for the amount of work that needed to be done. He and his crew made time in his busy schedule to get the job done and finished it completely in 3 days. I am so grateful for the work they have done and how quickly they did it. I highly recommend this business for anyone experiencing foundation/water damage issues. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
"The entire team from estimate to completion were great! When an unforeseen problem arose they were responsive, punctual and thoroughly professional in taking care of the issue. What a pleasure to hire a company that takes pride in their work and making sure that the customer is completely satisfied. I highly recommend Basement Systems of New York."
"Mickey performed excellent work at my house. I hired him to fix my retaining wall and steps at first then secondly my basement was mess with water coming in. Mickey helped with demo as I decided to remodel the basement as well, then he waterproofed my entire basement. Finally, he leveled out my basement floor. The work was absolutely immaculate and on top of that he was extremely helpful throughout the process and not once did I ever have to stress or worry. Great service and a great guy. I highly recommend Mickey if you need ANY type of masonry or stone work."

"We renovated an old house we bought into a nice, modern, livable space. Working with Hershy was a breeze. Trust is not something that comes easy, especially with contractors, and Hershy proved himself time and time again with his honesty and integrity.
From the estimate to completion, the price remained the same (and even decreased slightly).
Hershy is extremely devoted throughout the entire job and beyond. 6 months after we moved in and fully paid up, Hershy came back for touchups.
He's pleasant, always calm, yet fully on the ball and works extremely quickly. He stands behind his work and ensures everything is done to perfection.
We recommended many customers and they're all equally satisfied with his excellent service and expertise.
We will continue to recommend Hershy too all who're looking for professionalism combined with exceptional customer service.
Thank you Hershy!"
"I recently had a roof repair done, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The team at dryshield arrived on time, were professional, and explained every step of the process in detail. They identified the issue quickly and provided multiple options before deciding on the best fix for my situation. The work was completed efficiently without causing any disruption to my daily life. They cleaned up thoroughly after finishing, and the materials used looked high quality. , and I?ve had no leaks or water damage since the repair. What impressed me most was their attention to detail ? They also offered a clear timeline and kept me updated throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing roof repair or replacement. I plan to hire them again for future home improvement projects. Rating: ????? Recommendation: 100% ? I?ll definitely use them again"
It’s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there’s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter.
Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.
Mudjacking restores level surfaces, prevents further damage, and is more cost-effective than a full replacement.
Many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
Polyjacking and mudjacking can both be effective solutions for sinking concrete, but they have key differences. Polyjacking, which uses expanding polyurethane foam, is often considered a better option because the foam is significantly lighter than the cementitious material used for mudjacking. This reduced weight puts less pressure on the underlying soil and lowers the risk of future sinking. Polyjacking is suitable for any sinking concrete slab, while mudjacking is typically only recommended for non-structural concrete, such as sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and driveways. The primary drawback of polyjacking is its cost, which can be up to four times higher than mudjacking—as much as $25 per square foot compared to a maximum of about $6 per square foot for mudjacking.
