Budget was the most fair price and was able to complete the job a week after the estimate was given. I liked that they are local and have been in business a good amount of time. From beginning to end, everyone was a pleasure to deal with. I never felt pressured and was also reassured by reading other reviews where they stood behind their work--something that is important to me. When the day for the repair rolled around, the crew arrived on time and did a great job. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Thanks again folks! I'm glad I called!

The new appointment was for the next week. When the day came, NO SHOW. I called and the lady told me that their other estimator was in Florida and asked to reschedule again. I said no thank you. How can they not even get estimations scheduled right. It's your first impression with the customer. Also, if someone is dealing with a basement flooding issue, this is not the kind of response you'd want to deal with. Do not recommend.

Received an estimate and paid over $10K to waterproof basement (foundation leak) in February 2016…read more Biggest sell was the "Lifetime Guarantee" for materials and workmanship. Flooding immediately from the garage door. They refuse to fix it because Anne Arundel County installed the grate in front of the garage door, with a drain pipe leading to a sump pump just inside the garage. After 6 years of floods, I finally recognized the problem: Action had removed the drain pipe and replaced it with drain tile that cannot handle heavier rains, causing the grate to overflow and flood the garage. Action never documented their visits, so this summer I tried something different: I made an appointment saying I had additional work, not warranty work, done. When the inspector showed up, I let HIM identify the problem, pointing out the issue was the drain tile that replaced the County's pipe can't handle the load. The inspector then refused to honor the warranty--again--but offered to have an Action foreman and crew come out and "fix my problem" for $1,000 cash. Still nothing in writing. Wondering how "corporate" was implicated (was this unofficial policy--avoiding honoring Lifetime Guarantees, potentially saving tens of thousands in repeat work?, or would the owners be upset that its employees were performing unpermitted and unauthorized work for untaxed income?). I received a text with the name of the foreman coming on the weekend and waited. They arrived in company trucks and uniforms. I took pictures and told them to leave. I went to the police station and tried to file a complaint but they said to report it to the MHIC first. I did and, again, waited. Today, the MHIC rejected the complaint as being 3 years past the original work. Time to file that police complaint and hire an attorney. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The next morning, I called four companies: Robert Bollinger at Storm Waterproofing responded quickly and was able to visit our home and give a quote faster than of the other companies. My husband was home for Robert's visit (as well as one other company), and was impressed with Robert's knowledge of how to fix the problem. (The second company simply wasted our time by sending out a representative who was not a specialist in storm water damage and solutions.) Robert responded to our questions quickly and knowledgeably. There was a cancellation, we were available, and the work was completed within 8 days of our initial contact. The two-man crew that arrive today were wonderful. They were on time, careful to protect our flooring/carpeting, did the job within the estimated time range, cleaned up after themselves, and answered our questions without hesitation. The company guarantees the areas that were waterproofed to be water free for the lifetime of the structure, and the guarantee is transferable from owner to owner. I would not hesitate to recommend Storm Waterproofing to anyone in need of their services.

My review of 58 Foundations on our basement dig-out project…read more Please be advised that 58 Foundations appears to operate in violation of home improvement regulations in the District of Columbia. Their contracts are legally deficient, as they omit both the salesperson's license number and the project commencement date. Furthermore, the District of Columbia Licensing Board (DCLP) was unable to locate a license for our specific salesperson or any other individual at the firm. It seems they don't have a licensed DC salesperson. Following a ten-month delay, the company proposed a change order that would double the initial project cost. This increase is a direct result of the original salesperson's lack of expertise and professional neglect. Additionally, the company proposed a solution that is illegal under DC regulations, and their internal communication remains highly disorganized. Under District of Columbia law, performing home improvement sales without a proper license or executing contracts without commencement dates and salesperson license numbers may entitle clients to a full refund of the contract price, regardless of work completion. I recommend that any parties engaged with this company review their legal standing regarding these practices. Please be cautious if you decide to challenge this company. Their management called and threatened us claiming that we will run out of money before they do.

Timeline detailed team arriving over the course of 3 days and what to expect during this time. The Triad team - Michael, Justin and Roberto - arrived as scheduled on their assigned days. Before starting work for that day they again went over every detail of what they would be doing. Master plumber Justin Dorrier was amazing in his handling of the plumbing side of this process. His attention to detail and explanations clearly showed his professionalism and knowledge as a master plumber.

We then got proposals from two other local companies. Though Value Dry was not the lowest quote, we felt by far the most comfortable using them. And we are very glad we did. Our entire basement, which is entirely below grade, has (had!) water seepage due to hydrostatic pressure (water is forced into the house from underground), especially this last year with all of the rain we've had. And we have a huge basement. Markus proposed a new french drain around the entire interior perimeter of our basement, all of the exterior walls: 210 linear feet in total (we have a big basement). He explained in-depth what they proposed to do and why and how. They also added a second sump pump for us. And a battery back-up pump. They sent a crew of just three guys. Roger was the foreman, and you just have to love that guy. Great personality and he calmly and politely answered every question I had (I'm a detail freak). They were fantastic. They kept everything as clean as possible (not completely, but you can only do so much for concrete dust from jackhammers). Their work was very detail-oriented. It was cool seeing the destruction followed by the construction, laying down the new PVC underground drainage pipes, the new concrete on top of it, etc. Roger and I had discussions throughout the week about how best to do several things, like where and how to place the clean-outs (we have two) for the pipes. Bottom line: Look no further. They are honest. Not too expensive. And they deliver exactly what they say they will. Also, just a few weeks after completing our basement they did a smaller job for my in-laws, also local. They were just as happy with their work and with both Markus and Roger and his crew as we were. So this is really two 5 star reviews in one!

ONE STAR -- HOMEOWNERS SHOULD THINK VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE HIRING VALUE DRY…read more My experience with Value Dry Waterproofing was one of the most disappointing and disturbing contractor experiences I have ever had. Based on what happened at my home, I would never hire this company again, would never recommend them to family or friends, and believe the public deserves to know how my project was handled before trusting Value Dry with their home, foundation, structural work, or money. I hired Value Dry for approximately $12,000 of foundation, masonry, sill/bearing, debris-removal, and structural-support work associated with getting my house properly back onto its foundation. I paid Value Dry $8,000 in two separate $4,000 payments. The work was not completed. What happened afterward is what I consider deeply unethical, unprofessional, and morally unacceptable business conduct. During the project, Value Dry performed demolition and foundation-related work. I complained at the time that substantially more masonry had been broken out than I had requested. After this work had already been performed, I was then told that another $1,500 would be required to restore openings. I repeatedly explained that I had never approved this unexpected charge in advance and asked Value Dry to provide a written breakdown explaining exactly what supposedly was not included in the original $12,000 agreement. Even more troubling, Value Dry later acknowledged that its own representative had failed to obtain the required signed change order before the disputed work was performed. Think about that from a homeowner's perspective. Your house is already torn apart. Masonry has already been removed. The work has already been performed. Then you are told that additional money is needed to restore what has been opened up. In my opinion, that is an outrageous way to put a homeowner in an extremely vulnerable bargaining position. The unfinished work was not some insignificant cosmetic punch-list work. A subsequent written agreement addressed two permanent Lally columns, removal of existing block columns and debris, restoration of twelve openings, and disposal of concrete debris. Value Dry then scheduled its crew to return on July 21, 2026, to continue the remaining work. Value Dry was also actively coordinating with Wolfe House Movers during this project. Value Dry specifically advised me that they were scheduled with Wolfe. I also repeatedly raised concerns about properly sealing and protecting the sill assembly against moisture before the house was lowered. Detailed instructions concerning the sill plates, sealing, moisture barriers, and related protection were communicated to Value Dry and acknowledged. I asked Value Dry to remove debris from inside and outside the basement and level affected dirt areas. Value Dry did not respond that this was somebody else's responsibility. They told me they could not do it that day but would do it the following week. I also notified Value Dry in writing and with photographs that a masonry support area surrounding a temporary wood post appeared broken and compromised. I specifically requested immediate professional evaluation and stabilization because I was concerned about the structural safety of my home. Then came what I consider the most outrageous part of this entire experience. After agreeing to remaining work and after scheduling its crew to return, Value Dry President James A. Ketterer sent me written notice on July 17 that Value Dry would perform no additional work at my home and would not return for the scheduled July 21 appointment. Value Dry stated that it would not seek any additional payments from me and that it considered the money already received adequate compensation for the work it had completed. Read that carefully. They did not say that all of the agreed work had been completed. They said, in substance, that the money they had already received was adequate compensation for the work they had completed, and then announced that they would perform no additional work. In my opinion, that is absolutely astonishing. A contractor should not be able to accept thousands of dollars, become deeply involved in a major structural project, leave agreed-upon work unfinished, schedule a return date to continue that work, and then simply announce that the company is no longer comfortable performing additional work. Imagine if homeowners conducted themselves that way. Imagine a homeowner signing a contract, allowing a contractor to perform thousands of dollars of work, and then halfway through simply announcing, "I don't feel comfortable paying you anymore." Value Dry certainly would not consider that acceptable. Contractual responsibility and professional integrity should work both ways. What makes this even more frustrating is that I was actively attempting to resolve the dispute. I proposed putting the disputed money into neutral escrow so that Value Dry could be assured the money
