Called and got Rich on the phone to describe a couple of foundation cracks in the house I just moved into. Got a quote right away and scheduled a repair that same afternoon. A week later, Paul came with his 30+ years of concrete & foundation knowledge. Patched up an underground crack with closed-cell polymer and the other above-ground crack with carbon fiber. read more

From the start the transaction was smooth. After exchanging a few messages via Yelp! it was confirmed that A-1 Foundation Crack Repair met our needs. Andrew came out to view the issue, inspect the rest of the foundation as well as the bulkhead. He provided a couple of options to repair the foundation crack and suggested bolstering the joints between the bulkhead and foundation. The technician scheduled to do the work was very courteous and accommodating. He texted before his arrival and was very understanding when we explained we had an unexpected emergency come up. He was very informative and excellent at explaining what he had done. Thanks A-1 Foundation Crack Repair for making it a breeze to address foundation cracks. read more

Very friendly over the phone and in person. They explained everything they were going to do and did the job. The quote was exactly what they had given me prior to them coming to the house. read more

Really happy with A1. Adam came out quickly to provide an estimate, took his time poking around the area that needed repair, and suggested some things we could do to keep things safe or waterproof. His technician was professional and thorough, and did a wonderful job with the repair. The estimate was lower than a competitor by about 50%, and the final cost was exact to the estimate. Super happy with the repairs and will go to him in the future should I need it (and I hope I never need it!). read more

A-1 was very prompt and professional. I had a few issues- crack in the foundation, also needed sealant between my foundation and sidewalk, and finally I was getting water in my basement and needed a sump pump installed. Shane and Hector were great and handled everything and explained the whole process as they worked. Very happy with A-1 foundation and crack repair. read more

Technician was friendly and professional. He said that the sealant is water activated and won't fully cure until one or two rain events, so I don't know if it's successful yet but I'm fairly confident it will do the trick. My only complaint is that he didn't mask the area before starting. The sealant continues to ooze out for a while afterwards and it ran down my painted wall and onto my painted floor. It was very difficult to remove; I had to use a hammer and a scraper, and it removed the paint when it came off the wall and the floor. There was also a stain on the floor where he spilled something. It's just a basement, and I would need to paint over the crack anyway, but the damage would have been much smaller if he had put some good masking tape on the wall and plastic on the floor. (He put some paper towels on the floor to catch the overflow but that only succeeded in gluing the towels to the floor. I think the company's product is good and I would recommend using them to fix your foundation cracks; just be sure they protect the surrounding area. read more

Joe came at the scheduled time and called a half hour before and said when he would be arriving x he explained the process for repairing the crack in my basement and answered all my questions. Hopefully water won't leak into my basement but if it does, they said they would be back but hopefully they won't have to! read more

The service provider called to informed me that he would arrive within 30 minutes and definitely within the time window given me. He explained to me how he would seal the two cracks in our basement wall and proceeded to make the repair in a timely manner. When he finished he cleaned up the area that he worked in and informed me that we might see some water seepage after the first rain because sealant used is water activated. Well we just experienced that horrendous rain storm and the two wall cracks and totally bone dry. Needless to say we are very happy and highly recommended them. read more

Working with A-1 was a great experience. From the ease of booking an appointment, to the confirmation to the on-site professional service. They went above and beyond for me when I had some stubborn carpeting that had to be removed before they could make the repair. And their service is backed by a 10 year warranty. I would recommend A-1 every time. read more

I had some settling under my entry steps to my home which created a void under them. I want to have this issue taken care of before any cracking occurred. I called A-1 and they responded immediately. They completed the project a few days later at a very fair price. I would highly recommend using A-1 and would definitely use them in the future. read more

I had a fine crack in my foundation which allowed rain water to seep through the crack into my basement. I contacted A-1 Foundation Crack Repair and Rich scheduled the work to be done the end of January 2021. Repairs were done by Adam who knew exactly what had to be done and completed the job of sealing the crack and cleaning up the work site immaculately. The reason I am leaving my review now is that I wanted to wait for a heavy rain to see if the work Adam performed solved problem. I am pleased to say that with all the rain, my basement is bone dry. Well done Adam. I would highly recommend A-1 Foundation. Jerry B 3/31/2021 read more

We are purchasing a home with cracks in the foundation walls. We wanted to get the right professional out there to evaluate the severity of the cracks and started by calling A-1 Foundation Crack Repair. I spoke with Adam on the phone and he was helpful, concise, informative, and put my worries at ease. He stayed on the phone for almost 30 minutes (!!) with me and answered all of my questions. Can't say enough how much I appreciate that. Feeling like I got something for nothing out of this, I figured the least I could do is write about how great they are. They will be our first stop for any issues (that we hopefully never get!) related to future cracks in our foundation. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely great experience with A-1Foundation Crack Repair. After a terrible experience with recent flooding, our basement flooded from ground water through the foundation in several spots. As this was the first time in 7 years that this had happened, naturally, I was a bit unsettled about it. The gentleman I spoke to when I first called was very empathetic and explained how the situation might be remedied. Unfortunately, given that so many people in my area had experienced flooding, A-1 was completely booked out for 3 weeks. I asked that they contact me if they had a cancellation and they did....2 weeks earlier than planned! Oliver was our technician and he was so incredibly lovely. He made great recommendations and got to work. While we discovered after I set up the initial inspection that the leaks were in more places and more extensive than we originally thought, there was no "hard sell" or upselling....but rather, just honest recommendations. Oliver was at our home for nearly 4 hours and was so thorough that I have no worries about future rains. I wish more companies were as diligent as A-1. Pricing was more than fair, Oliver the tech was lovely and showed up exactly at the time states, whoever I spoke with at my initial point of contact was so kind and knowledgeable, and they actually did what they said they'd do with regard to putting me on a cancellation list and then getting back to me with an earlier time slot. read more

They gave me a quote which was fine we set a date the gentleman came out did the repair. A month later it was still leaking they came out again supposedly found the leak fixed it it leaks worse now than it ever did before. Talk to the owner about it he said well will come out one more because we already came out once but it's going to cost you another hundred a half with an attitude so now with not one week but now I have two leaks in my bulkhead which I only started with one I will be going somewhere else to get this fix the proper way read more

A-1 promptly and professionally sealed a big crack down a corner of our basement. Their employee also sealed the area from the outside. The repair was rapid, in and out of the house in just an afternoon. We no longer have water pooling in the basement after rain. They provided a written warranty of their work which gives us peace of mind. I liked how I got a quote (fairly priced) when I called to inquire about our situation, was texted a couple of days before our scheduled day to set the appointment time, and was called with a "heads up" before the guy arrived. We encountered no problems in working with this company. I definitely recommend them. read more

Please avoid if you are thinking of hiring for Lally Columns replacement. Rich claims on the phone that he replaces 300-400 of them a year. On his blog he claims that they replace thousands of them a year. In reality, he does not replace any. I have scheduled my appointment with Rich (owner) 45 days in advance. Re-confirmed two weeks before the date, re-confirmed again the day before the install and the end he cancelled on me at 7:30am in the morning on the day. He simply stated that he does not feel comfortable with the job. He has no confidence. The problem is, Rich does not know how to REPLACE lally columns. He only knows how to ADD lally columns. He refuses to take old ones out and not too sure about how to deal when a footing is required. To make a long story short. You need lally columns, replaced? This is not the place to do it. My personal advice to Rich - stick to what you know - fixing cracks in the foundation. read more

They look and sound like they know what they are doing, but they're more like kids playing dress up and pretending to be contractors when they're not. They scheduled us three weeks out. Then, they didn't show up. When I called, they told me they had mistakenly put our appointment in their 2022 calendar instead of 2023. Not a problem. Everyone makes a mistake. They rescheduled us, came out and installed the footings for new lally columns. They were to return two days later to install the lally columns on the footings. They did not. And, they did not return multiple emails and phone messages. Eventually, they sat a date, three weeks later. I took that day off to be there during the window they provided. They called an hour later than the window to let me know that they were stuck in New Hampshire, and could I be available the next day. I reminded them that I had taken the day off to be there. I was not in a position to take a second day in a row off from work. However, I really had no choice so I left work early, which was unnecessary because they were again late, so late that I could have finished my work day. Finally, the finished the job. While they thanked me for "working with the scheduling," they never said, "Oh boy, we've really messed this one up and we feel responsible for the hassle that we've put you through." Seriously, this job is supposed to be two half days of work. It took seven weeks to get them to the finish line... and, we had to carry them across it. Adam has a super friendly and polite demeanor. They have a nicely decorated work truck. In the end, these guys are playing at being contractors. Actors in costumes. I don't think it crossed their minds that we were waiting to unpack all of our things in the basement until they were done so that we could open the boxes after cleaning up from their cement dust. Again, that should have been a two-day delay, but set us back seven weeks. They would need first to understand how improbably poor their performance was -- and, they're not there yet -- before they could get a fuller understanding of its impact on their customers' bigger picture. read more

I had a crack in the front on my house I really wanted fixed so we did a quick google search to find A-1 foundation. Armando came over to fix the crack and did an amazing job. I would highly recommend. read more

Excellent service and quality to repair a crack in our foundation that was leaking. I highly recommend them!

We had small cracks in our foundation, and the A-1 team repaired them quickly and efficiently. They filled them with polyurethane foam which did the job. The A1 team even ended up giving us half off the agreed upon price as the cracks were smaller than expected once they saw them in person. 5/5, would recommend. read more

I contacted A-1 Foundation Crack Repair for repairing a rusty support column in the basement. Rich contacted me and a few photos later, he came up with a plan to add another support column, along with the potential cost. His crew came one day at the specified time to lay a new footing and returned a couple of weeks later to add the column. The communication was perfect and they were professional and punctual, with the final cost matching the original quote. read more

Our home inspectors recommended A1 Crack Repair and we could not be happier with their work. They were incredibly responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend! read more

Very unexpectedly, after installation of a new septic system of the home we are in the process of selling, rainwater started pouring into the basement through the foundation along the sewer pipe. Of course, this happened the very rainy day of the buyer's home inspection. We were mortified. My realtor recommended A-1. Rich called me back within moments of me leaving a voicemail. After I shared information about the problem, Rich described the solution, told me the reasonable price and shared warranty information, and set the date for the job a few weeks out. All this in about 5 minutes. I asked Rich to let me know if a sooner date became available. I heard back from him after a few days letting me know an appointment opened up. The technician arrived as scheduled, and the work was professionally completed. Wonderful. The administrative staff readily helped by providing warranty information for the buyer. Wow. A-1 is the best. No headaches or agitation. Priceless. read more

Phenomenal work! We had a lally column replacement job in the garage - their prices were very reasonable, they were here on time and seriously powered through the work, despite the unexpected thickness of our foundation. Everything was completed on the expected dates and they honored the original quote in spite of the extra effort - very happy with A-1 overall and we are looking forward to working with them on several upcoming projects too! read more

Nice enough, but poor workmanship and no follow through.. Hired A-1 to replace an undersized sump well and plumb it outside with PVC. I was totally dissatisfied with the work that they did, the workmanship was poor, joints were mickey moused together and even leaked when the sump turned on. I had to rip out the whole thing out and replumb it the next weekend. I called to voice my frustration, the owner was nice enough and said that he would refund part of the job. That was a month ago and I haven't heard back or seen a check in the mail (I've called back multiple times). read more

The owner was nice and discussed my situation over the phone. I called back to set an appointment and the job went well. A few months later there was a tiny foundation leak during a big storm and they came back out at no charge and took care of it. Stopping the leak was worth every penny. I highly recomend them. read more

Wonderful, quick, reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, I just cannot say enough good things about Rich. If you are looking to have work done, look no further. Rich is your guy! read more
