Our home is a 100 year old semi-detached home in Riverdale. We used The Underpinners to replace the basement foundation walls which were failing and to dig out the basement by an additional 2.5 feet so we could finish the basement into modern living space. We are very happy with the work performed and with our experience with Daniel and his company and recommend him highly.
Our initial contact with Daniel Garfield, the owner of the company, was positive in that he listened thoroughly, was very patient discussing the work and his approach, and answered our many questions, at any time. He was open and helpful in making suggestions on how we might finish our basement. He had already worked on our street reconstructing the foundation walls for two of our neighbours who both were very positive about his work and the finished product.
Our project began in mid-November and was finished in five weeks, just before Christmas, as scheduled. To achieve this, he and his team worked very hard.
Daniel is a pleasure to deal with, courteous and prompt to respond to calls and issues. His associates are also professional to deal with, and his employees/workers were polite and industrious. Daniel and his associates were careful about safety and ensuring that everything was shored up and supported as required. They also tried very hard to accommodate all of our requests such as minimizing any damage to our garden. Daniel also made recommendations of trades that we needed such as electrical, plumbing, gas, and assisted us by coordinating them for us.
We recommend, without hesitation Daniel and his company to carry out complex and challenging basement underpinning and replacements.
