They worked for 13 hours straight with no breaks/lunch (that's not including their travel time 1+ hours to and from Milwaukee). They brought a double crew in to do the job because of the distance we are from Milwaukee. We interviewed 6 foundation repair companies... We chose Accurate Basement Repair because of their plan of attack, warrantee, price and positive feedback from people. I would do it again in a heartbeat! They brought in enough people and equipment to do the job and they did it well! Fred even had his workers install a biomesh that we purchased to deter tree roots. There is a 70' tree about 8' from the house which we didn't want to lose. They maneuvered in between the house and tree wonderfully. They ended up rebuilding the south basement wall which was totally unexpected. Fred did say they'd have to charge a little bit more for that... They supplied the top row of cinder blocks that they had to put in because someone had used a very thin block and turned it up on it's side which was totally wrong -- Fred and his crew made sure it was done right! They charged an additional $500 to do that which was absolutely understandable considering the extra time and materials it took them to make sure it was done right! Fred also told us that the house sill plate was rotted and said we would need to get a carpenter in to repair that. Again, because of the long hours they put in, the fact that it wasn't included in the bid, I was ok with that...(see problem with that below) The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that the estimator said that they would tuckpoint the north and east walls as well as the south wall which needed to be straightened. The north wall had one vertical crack from settling, the rest were hairline cracks and cosmetic only. They tuckpointed the south wall beautifully. When I mentioned to Fred about the north and east walls, he apologized and said he didn't realize that was included in the bid. He did make sure the vertical crack was filled and I was ok with him not doing the hairline cracks because they had worked 13 hours w/ no breaks and it was cosmetic only. Had I insisted, I have no doubt they would have honored the estimators word... Now - on to getting the sill plate repaired.... we tried and tried to get someone out to repair the house sill... I probably called 10+ carpenters - either they were too busy or weren't quite sure how to fix it... this is a very old house.. there was a box beam that was rotted that had electric lines running through it.. pretty much a nightmare... so after trying to find someone to repair in the winter during hunting season w/ absolutely no luck... I called Fred pretty much in tears and said the had to come back out and fix the sill..... Fred told me they didn't do that kind of work that we'd need to find a carpenter to do it.. I told him I tried and couldn't find anyone... Fred said 'let me make a few calls'.... his secretary called me back shortly and said that Kip Kolich would be calling me w/ in the hour and he could do the job. Kip called and had someone out that night.. long story short, they jacked up the house that weekend and replaced the sill... was a 2 day job (like I said, it was a nightmare - and colder than h***!) In my opinion - not only did Fred (Accurate Basement Repair) do the basement job well, but he went above and beyond in finding us someone who could replace the sill! Would I recommend Fred, Junior and the rest of the crew from Accurate Basement Repair - ABSOLUTELY!!!!

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT call the BURLINGTON repair for Bigelow! Their service men spend literally 90 seconds in your home, don't even stick their heads in the refrigerator! Mark the owner no better. Call him for help, see how far you get!!!

From the first call to the office, to the on site estimate, to the two workers who completely the job I was very impressed by the knowledge, explanations and professionaism of all involved. They arrived on time and did the troubleshooting and repair of my problem in a timely and efficient...
The whole process went extremely good. They did a great job repairing everything and the crews were very polite and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with everything. We will definitely use buckshot again if we ever need this done again. Thanks Buckshot.

FAQs for dock building and repair projects in Orfordville, WI
The most significant factor in knowing whether to repair or replace your dock is the extent of the damage and its age. If you have minor cracks on a few boards and the dock is less than 15 years old, it'll likely be worth repairing the damaged part. However, it's time to replace this essential water feature if you have significant damage, such as rotting wood in multiple areas, warps or cracks in the dock supports, or a damaged foundation.
Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.
The cost of repairs to your dock depends significantly on the severity and location of the damage. For minor repairs, such as replacing bumpers or patching a few cracks, you can expect to spend $100 to $800. For more extensive repairs, such as replacing decking or dock reinforcement, the cost increases to $800 to $2,000. Consult a local dock repair service to determine the estimated cost of your dock repairs.
Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months.
The cost of a new dock can range from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the project size, location, and additional features.
For example, a boat lift can range from $1,000 to $8,000. The ladder you'll need for your dock can be anywhere from $100 to $800, not including installation. In addition, the decking you'll need for your dock can cost between $15 and $30per square foot.
