Foundation repair

Steve and his colleagues were amazing throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything to us and ensure that we understood and agreed with the work. They were extremely neat and tidy, which is remarkable as they had to work in the dirt and sand all day long. I would recommend 100%.

Foundation repair

After a stressful year of mould elimination that revealed foundation cracks and other issues with a wide range of "potential solutions" and estimates, I was overwhelmed by early spring. A friend suggested Westboro Foundation Repair. which has proven to be "the right choice".

From the initial review of the situation, through the exterior repair work , including window wells and an egress window , the knowledge, experience and excellent rapport between the owner and foreman was evident, often with hands on engagement with the team. The plan and estimates were detailed and clear, communication with me was easy and the work crew was organized, efficient and pleasant.

Thank you Barbara for your excellent review! We are happy we took your stressful situation of leaks and mould in your basement into a leak free and dry basement bedroom with a nice newly enlarged egress widow. We are glad you liked our contract and that you enjoyed our team that performed the repairs and improvements!

Exterior foundation repair including backflow preventer

My adventure with Westboro Foundation Repair (WFR) was a great experience. It started with a doorhanger for which I am so grateful. I had just finished interviewing four other companies. I chose WFR over the other four foundation repair companies because it was superior in so many aspects. Their unique and distinct repair and waterproofing process (brushing on a waterproofing solution which is different from using a water-resistant sheet, using quality products, protecting insulation with galvanized steel bars, back filling with stones up to grade). Their respect of the construction code (they were the only company to strongly recommend a backflow preventer). Their expertise. Their theoretical knowledge. Their perceptible trustworthiness. I knew it was a young company but I could see they had all the ingredients for me to give them my trust ... and my money!
It started with Steven and Louis coming for an inspection where I could see their real interest and "love" of repair work. Their keenness was real. I could really feel their willingness and determination of getting the foundation repaired and waterproofed to satisfaction.
Then Steven wrote out a contract that included the work flow and the various steps in detail, and an amazing schematic drawing of the foundation wall waterproofing and protection. I was really impressed with the quality of that contract document.
Steven met with me a number of times always showing patience answering my questions and explaining things. His expertise and ingenuity, his focus on quality, combined with his calmness were very reassuring.
Then the team started the work. Always done as specified in the contract, with a lot of care and attention, not rushing through the process, making sure the foundation repairs were dry before waterproofing and then making sure the waterproofing membrane would cure dry before installing the insulation, as well as keeping things clean and tidy.
The team as a whole is very harmonious and they are all friendly, polite and respectful. It was always a pleasure for me to see them, and talk with them. Also as a francophone, it was great that if needed I could speak French with Steven and Louis.
I was also grateful that they provided me, and installed, additions to eavestroughs out of goodwill.
I can only highly recommend them.
As the saying "to try it is to adopt it" ... I would say "to try them is to adopt them"!

Thank you Johanne for your wonderful review! We are happy you had a great experience and that you appreciate our focus on quality. We are also happy you chose to get a backflow preventer added to the new weeping tile system, and that our plumber was able to add a floor drain and condensate drain to your basement to bring it up to code compliance at the same time. We are glad you liked our contract, specs, and drawings, and that we could communicate with you in French. Most of all, we are glad we could improve your foundation and keep your basement dry and healthy!

Foundation Repair and Waterproofing

I hired Westboro Foundation Repair to install new window wells around my house as mine were not working and water was leaking in through my basement windows. Steven provided a detailed quote and explained the phases of work including excavation and removal of dirt down to the footing, pressure washing, crack repair, waterproofing membrane, exterior insulation, new weeping tile and clear stone backfill. He also put geotextile fabric down around the window wells, dressed it with topsoil and sealed the window well to the foundation. Their work is of excellent quality and I appreciate their 20-year leak-free warranty. I highly recommend them to homeowners with foundation issues!

Foundation work

I can't thank Steve and his guys enough for the work they did. We were at the front end of a not-so-honest contractor that started with the roof and consequently had opened up a long trench (hand shoveled and unsafe-first image) to the foundation of my mom's house before we halted the work after further investigation on them.
On recommendation, we reached out Westboro Foundation and met with Steve. He was onsite with his guys before I got there and was assessing the 'work' that had been done so far. Not surprisingly, the whole thing was wrong from the start. We were immediately put at ease that the problem wasn't what we had been led to believe. He explained exactly what they were going to do brought in the proper equipment, outlined the materials and provided a quote. Was constantly in communication as to what stage they were at. We had a previous leaking issue so they installed the window wells - as there should have been- and sealed it all up. They were done in a couple days. Friendly, professional service all around and total confidence the work done. Thanks for taking the stress level from 11 to 0.

Thank you for choosing Westboro Foundation Repair! We are so glad we could help you out and remove the stress created by the previous contractor's disingenuous work. We were happy to be able to increase the performance of your foundation in the area of repair, to clean out your weeping tile and confirm its functionality while we were down there, and to provide vastly improved drainage around your foundation. This work will be good for the rest of the building's life and we hope the addition of window wells on your driveway side basement windows helps keep these windows from leaking in the future, safeguarding your home from water issues and problems that this brings. All the best, Steven
