Basement Waterproofing
Not as good as was expected. Walls bowed and out of square. Workers did not follow planned drawings. Roof leaks. basement floor is cracking. No expansion joints were never put in.
It was an easy repair but they did a very good job. They have reasonable price and they responded promptly when I called. They did what they said they'd do. The waterline didn't leak since so it sounds good.
They did a great job. The battery backup for our sump pump wasn't working properly. I called them and their tech said he would come over as soon as he could. When he came he hooked up a new sump pump. That day there were 5 people from their company, including the owner, there to help us...
They did an A-1 Excellent Job! Our basement windows were leaking and now the windows are safer, stronger, and, most importantly, water-tight. The guy who came out was courteous, worked diligently, and cleaned up very well. I could not have asked for more from them. Just top notch work.
Bath Doctor - Cleveland Glass Block - Innovate Building SolutionsSink pipes were leaking under sink and into the basement. Called Frey and they sent someone over in a couple hours. The plumber corrected the problem under the sink and also advised me that the piping in the basement was not pitched correctly. He corrected that as well. Also advised me...

"I am not pleased with the service I received! They damaged my waterline and stated someone would be out to fix it. It's been 9 months and no one will return my calls nor have they come to fix what they damaged! They ruined my lawn and never came back to replace the soil they dug up! They ruined my basement floor and I had to replace my entire floor! They said they would be out to test the sump pump and drains that were installed, again, it's been 9 months and no one has followed up with me! I'm really concerned that the lifetime warranty they say I have even exists!"

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
