"This is a review of the *experience* we had with Quality. We had the basement waterproofed, so we won't really know how good the job is until a big rainstorm! So this is just the experience we had before and during the job. We reached out to Quality based on the Angie's List reviews, and were convinced by the visit from Greg. He was so knowledgeable about the water problems, and pointed out the years of experience the company has. Also, we weren't looking for a bargain, we were looking for a dry basement, and Greg was very straightforward about all the costs. Now we haven't had a rainstorm yet, so we still don't know the most important thing about the job! But Victor and his crew were fantastic. They knew what they were supposed to do when they got here, and did the whole job-- as quietly as possible-- in less than 4 hours. They were pleasant to have in the house. They left the place clean. So big thanks to all at Quality. P S: Will update when there's a big rainstorm."
"I have worked with Uprise twice now and both times they did great work. The first house they found and repaired a leak, and in the second house I had them install a new roof. I would not hesitate to call them again for future needs."
"Tim and Jake replaced an old support beam and structural wall in our basement with new footings, posts, and steel beams through the length of the house. They handled the project from beginning to end with excellent communication and service. Before they could begin work, the engineer had to draw up plans and Diggs had to get permits approved. Tim worked in lockstep with the engineer and me - he stayed in touch so that I always knew where we were in the process. The work itself took them less than a week, and they left my house standing stronger than ever. If you have a structural issue in your home, these are 1000% the guys to call. Thank you, Tim and Jake!"
"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."
"I rarely write reviews but how can you not when they did an outstanding job for the most reasonable price I could find. My stairs (concrete/limestone/brick) completely cracked with the most recent snowstorm and I was desperate to get it fixed. I called Wilmar and he came right away and gave me a reasonable price. I have a good gift in judging character and integrity. Wilmar was completely transparent with the price and how long it would take to do the job. He gave me the date and time and he was actually right on time and got the job done perfectly in time for me to move on to my errands for the day. My stairs came out PERFECT. I love efficiency and Wilmar also let me know of other things I should consider fixing in the future. I’ve got a lot of work to do on my house and I found my go to guy. Look no further- these guys are great."
"From my personal home addition and remodel, to my multi-family units capex upgrades and remodel, YSN will always be my first choice after the first time I spoke to them. Knowledgeable, experienced, quick and clean. They exceeded All my expectations while the price was extremely competitive. The YSN team is a one call does it it all company, highly recommended."

"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!"
Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.
Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.
It restores concrete, prevents replacement cost disruptions, reduces trip hazards, and provides stability at a lower cost.
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.
There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.
