Joe. Was so cool with we didn't want him to go.We had so much fun, but he said he couldn't have a drink with us.Because it was Lent, he, he told us a bunch of stuff that the other companies didn't say anything about. We didn't know that our house was settling and they were more expensive. You guys got a really, really, really good employee here.

My wife and I had Richard Z., Martin H., and Sabastian M. Out to our house to fix a broken floor joist and another with a crack in it. They were polite, worked quickly, and aside from the noise of their tools you’d barely know they were there. The work appears to be done well and the overall experience was great! Highly recommend.

"I couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve received for my greenhouse foundation repair. Mike Barnett, the project manager, went above and beyond to provide a solution that was not only cost-effective but also incredibly thoughtful and efficient. His quote came in at $28K less than a competitor’s, and the approach he recommended was rooted in practicality and trust—not greed or overquoting. Having worked with this company before to seal my basement foundation, I already knew the quality of their work is exceptional, which gave me peace of mind. However, Mike’s dedication, honesty, and genuine care for something so personal to me made all the difference. If you’re looking for a company that combines expertise with integrity, I highly recommend them. Thank you, Mike, for turning what could have been a stressful project into a reassuring and positive experience!"

Great follow up after initial call. Inspector showed up at date and time promised, follow up later for any questions. Quote was fair and included things others uncharged for. Matt K., Robert W. And Elijah M. did a great job. They showed up first thing and got the job done. They went above and beyond with cleaning crawl space. They were polite and professional and when the job was done, took time to show me what they had done and explain equipment. Would use again!

FSM did a wall stabilization project in my basement today. Jonah H., Logan D. and Bryant D. were the FSM crew that did the work. They installed galvanized steel braces. They did all the work in a few hours, protected the items in my basement and cleaned up afterwards. They did a great job! Thanks!

I met Brian Maike in August when he came to talk to me about the Aquastop Perimeter Drain System. A friend had already had 3 estimates on her basement and when Brian gave me the cost, it was a little lower and what sold me is the lifetime warranty on the home. David and his crew came out early on a Monday (Dom & Matt) and did a fantastic job making sure the dust from removal of the cement was taken care of and cleaned up afterwards. I noticed the musty smell which was causing mold was taken care of. After 2 inspections by my city, they returned on a Friday to cement the trench. (Eric instead of Matt this time.). They did a great job again carrying all the buckets of cement and again a great clean up job. I’ve already passed along their info because of the great job done by all 5 of them. Brian was very helpful with answering all my questions before, during and at the end of the job.

Bryant's crew of Branbon, Jarred and Crabe arrived on time, went to work. Bryant explained what they were going to do. The job was done efficiently, they finished ahead of schedule, cleaned up the area. We did a walk through with Bryant who explained everything. I was totally satisfied with the entire process.

We're had a really great experience and are glad to be using them. We had work done through another company a few years ago, which is not holding up well. (Our basement continues to smell musty sometimes.) We really liked the ability to schedule the appointment online and couldn't have asked for a better consultation with Keenan. We've been very pleased with the correspondences ahead of the work such as receiving the plans and permits. It's a lot of money to drop on something that isn't vital at the moment, but fully trust that these guys will get it done right and stand by their work.

Phil P. and Jason R. came out to our house and did an excellent job. We purchased our house after the previous owner originally used this company to adjust the flooring and thank goodness they had a transfer of ownership warranty. They adjusted the flooring and completed a thorough inspection. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. Due to negligence of the previous owner, we are having them come out to add a drainage system and sump pump. This was recommended by the company previously and the previous owners ignored the issue. I am looking forward to having this issue resolved and would recommend this company for future endeavors.

Tim was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I’ve had no problems with the work Groundwork’s did in waterproofing my basement since it was done 2 years ago. Was used to getting water coming through the walls every spring but no more. Tim checked thing over and made several recommendations!
