Our house is over 100 years old, located near downtown Kingston. The foundation, made with large…read moreirregular shaped limestone, was built on a bed of solid clay and only about two feet beneath the surface of the ground. The very old limestone was in excellent shape, but the old mortar was not. Brad suggested using concrete blocks to replace the existing limestone, except for the bottom layer of huge limestone boulders. This would make the job more affordable and the wall would look much smoother when finished. He filled the empty cavities of all the cement blocks with cement, for added strength. My wife and I are thrilled with Brad's workmanship and steady work ethic. This young man works mostly on his own and never seems to stop for a break. Our foundation wall was restored in less than one week!

There were surprises along the way (e.g., missing chunks of foundation as a result of previous retrofits) and things beyond the actual foundation (unpatched holes in the bottom exterior walls). Action Restoration went above and beyond to resolve my issues and it is amazing how warm the upstairs floor is now! I cannot say enough about how rare and pleasant it is working with a company that follows through on commitments, answers when you call, 30+ years of expertise, respectful of clients, and, most importantly, human beings that are there to help you, not to take advantage. I give Action Restoration a solid 5-star rating across the board: Communication: 5 stars; Professionalism: 5 stars; Quality of the work: 5 stars; Cleanliness: 5 stars; Overall Experience: 5 stars.

My neighbour seems really happy with their service however that is not why I chose to write this review. I have dealt with many contractors over the years and never have a had a team be so incredibly courteous. No matter who you are talking to they are friendly and accommodating. All the neighbours have been talking and this feeling is universal. Just a small example, they are working in our driveway and have fencing around the whole. Our door is down the driveway and I asked that when they are done for the day they make sure to push the fence away from our house so that my wife can get the stroller down the driveway even if no one is there to help. They were totally understanding and every single day since the fencing has been pushed back. The organizational culture of service is truly incredible. Kudos to everyone there.
