Force Basement Solutions Reviews
questionsfoundationcrawl spacedewateringegress windowwellchimneytuckpointingmasonrygrant
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Our experience with Force was pleasant from beginning to end. We bought a 200+ year old home a year and a half ago, have been trying to find someone to rebuild parts of the foundation and put in a dewatering system. After multiple companies told us they would be here and never showed, we looked into Force. Joe was out for an estimate within a week, and although I was on the road for work, took time to email and phone me with answers to any questions I had. The masonry crew was out next (a week early even) to rebuild a 4x4' corner of the basement and around 20' of foundation (crawlspace) under our pantry. Mike and Noah were a pleasure, took time out of their day to answer questions, and found workarounds for obstacles we had no idea were there until they tore in. They also took the time to make it all look nice when they were done, in places we all figured would be a little rough, and Force cut us a deal tuckpointing the old rock walls we found in one room, allowing us to preserve some of the vintage appeal we were looking for when we bought. The dewatering crew started the day after the corner was rebuilt and installed around 120' of Multi Flow tile and liner over the next 3 days, installed a new sump pit, and lined in places that couldn't be encapsulated per our original agreement. Making this work, and leaving the pit where we had it previously, required digging a couple of feet deeper in places, but TJ, Conner, and Don took it on willingly with no complaint. They took the time to walk us through it all ahead of time, and make sure we were happy with the changes before we signed off. Joe and Justin were on the phone within minutes if they were out of the office when I called, and I just want to emphasize that EVERYONE involved seemed like it really mattered to them personally that we were getting what we wanted. These guys take pride in their work, and they should... work ethic and customer satisfaction are few and far between. I would recommend them to anyone, and if you're on the fence, give them a call. Their prices are fair, and you won't be disappointed with their work.
Sep 22, 2025 · john smithGreat work by Justin and his crew on our garage floor and basement ceiling repair. I really appreciated the good communication and neat work! I would highly recommend Force Basements!
May 26, 2025 · Robert AForce was very professional from the first meet up with Joe Harris . When the guys arrived they introduced themselves and started in on the job.Throughout the 3 days the workers were polite, personable and professional.Thanks
Mar 26, 2025 · David QuinnI was looking for someone to give me an estimate for repairing some cracks in my foundation. I had called a few companies before finding Force online, but they either didn't return my calls or said they would come out over the weekend, but then never showed up and never contacted me again. When I called Force, they answered my call immediately and put me on the schedule for the following week! They showed up for that appointment on time as well.Thankfully my concerns about the foundation was not an issue, but they recommended encapsulating my crawl space to help prevent future problems. My house is older and I was already considering doing this in the future anyway to help protect the "bones". The cost seemed reasonable for what I had already researched too.I want to give a big shout out to Justin and recommend that he receives a bonus for his hard work! This was normally a 2-3 man job to complete in a day, but his team called out so it was just him that showed up to do the job. The expectation was set that most likely he understandably wouldn't finish everything in one day on his own and would have to come back tomorrow. He started around 8am and shortly after 4pm he told me he was all done! Not just for the day, but the whole job! He managed to do a 2-3 man job all in one day by himself, so I'm quite impressed! He also shared pictures of the finished work with me, which I appreciated.I highly recommend Force Basements and will definitely consider them for other jobs in the future!
Aug 07, 2025 · MB GThe guys did excellent job encapsulating my basement. They were neat and cleaned up the mess afterwards. Grant explained everything in detail prior to starting job.
