Things you should know about Tall Basements

(that should be true about any underpinning team you hire)

  1. WE’RE EXPERIENCED SPECIALISTS

    There are no end of contractors who will take a crack at underpinning your basement. But it’s a serious job that requires real experience and expertise. We do this every day, and we know exactly what we’re doing. It’s smart to ask tough questions — we have the answers.

  2. OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

    Our professionalism shows in the results of our numerous successful projects. Talk to our previous customers — they’re our best advertising! Want to see some of our finished projects? Just ask!

  3. WE STAY ON BUDGET

    We don’t lowball and then hit you with surprise costs. We give you a fair appraisal of the real cost of a quality job — up front.

  4. WE DON’T TAKE SHORTCUTS

    We take pride in knowing we’ve done a great job — even on the things behind the scenes that you never see. You want a professional job that puts your house on a rock solid foundation, and so do we. We’ll never try to cut costs at the expense of your home’s structural integrity. We’re helping you build a home for life.

  5. EVERY JOB IS ENGINEER INSPECTED – NO EXCEPTIONS

    We not only ensure every job is engineer inspected and approved, we also arrange all the city permits to save you the hassle.

  6. WE’RE FULLY INSURED SPECIFICALLY FOR DIGGING FOUNDATIONS

    Believe it or not, many contractors’ insurance doesn’t actually cover foundation excavations. Foundation and underpinning is what we do for a living — we’re fully insured specifically for foundation work so that your project and your home are protected.

  7. WE RESPECT YOU AND YOR HOME — AND YOUR NEIGHBOURS!

    We take pride in a clean, safe work site with a minimum of dust, noise, and disruption for you and your neighbours. We treat your home like we would treat our own.
