"We had our basement waterproofed by Baker's. It's been bone-dry since. We did have one piece of equipment fail within a month of the installation, but it was a third party dehumidifier that was just a dud I guess, no fault of Baker's. I texted the project manager about it on a Sunday. I expected a response the following week. He got back to me within the hour. The equipment was removed and replaced within a couple days. Everything great since. I would highly recommend Baker's, but specifically our project manager Nathan Goddard and the head guy on site Daylan. Can't remember his last name, but he's got a long beard and did a great job. Thanks to both of them and the rest of the guys."

"I am so happy that my neighbor referred G&J Waterproofing to me! My basement had so much rain water coming in that I had sand bags in one of the rooms to help soak up the water and I still needed to use a mop in other areas! Harry came the next day to meet with me after I called them and went over everything that needed to be done! If I didn’t understand something, Harry took the time to explain it to me! I really appreciated that! And all the workers were GREAT! G&J really have a great group of guys working for them! They were always willing to answer any questions I had! There was a nice downpour of rain the other day and I didn’t have a drop of water in my basement, so I have G&J to thank for that! I will definitely be referring them to anyone and everyone I know that has any problems with water in their basement! Thank you G&J and thanks to your wonderful crew!"

Before any work is carried out We signed a contract that assigned To the customer were working for So our customers know what Result they should be expecting We take pride and resilience in our work. All of our Work is done to a customer's 100% satisfaction And all our work Is guaranteed

"If I could give this company -11,000 stars I would. Stay away. I hired Simon and his crew to repair, waterproof, and install a French drain system. When Simon was done and I went to pay him he told me everything was under warranty and if there were any problems they would come right out. I thought it was a little strange that he was trying to get the contract back. He said he likes to keep it for his file? so I told him I couldn?t find it, but I still had it so I had proof of the work. The very first day it rained water still got in the same room that it was getting into before. I sent a video to the number I talked to Simon on numerous times before and it has gone straight to voicemail. I?ve emailed and still no response. It?s insane that they are even considered an approved pro by Angi?s list. I took a video but it won?t let me upload so here are a few pictures. You can clearly see the water getting through. $11,000 for absolute garbage work. Stay far away from this company. "

"Two thumbs up! I highly recommend Harry Wynkoop and his company G&J Waterproofing. A true professional and a man of his word. He gave us a very reasonable estimate. His crew showed up on the date that he stated that they would start the work. No BS like other contractors out in the Pittsburgh area. As a law enforcement officer in Pittsburgh, PA I am very skeptical who I hire to do work at my home. I trust G&J Waterproofing to get the job done and correctly. They communicate with you during the job which is very rare for other contractors out there. The work done to my basement is waterproofing and they parge the basement walls. I invite anyone to look for themselves at the outstanding work done by this company. I dare you to find another waterproofing company other than G&J Waterproofing. By the way my basement is DRY!!!!
