Anthony, Gabe and Josh did a fantastic job on my basement walls. They were professional in all my face to face with them. If I had any complaints, its that my water heater was left unplugged. Made for an interesting shower in the morning lol! Still giving them the 5 stars!

We had a great experience with the inspector, Kevin Pucel, from Groundworks. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to thoroughly explain everything he was inspecting. He answered all of my questions clearly and honestly, and I never felt rushed or pressured. His attention to detail and willingness to educate me about my foundation issues really stood out. I felt confident moving forward thanks to his expertise. Highly recommend Groundworks and this inspector!

I had some bowing and cracking in my cinder block basement wall and Groundworks mitigated the issue by adding vertical bracing to the affected wall. I also had water leaking in which was caused mold issues so they also installed a new drainage system in the basement and sealed the walls to prevent water coming in. This treatment provided stability to prevent further movement. The braces were also adjustable to allow for further corrections which were included in the original work. Today, Michael Bowers came out to provide that follow up annual inspection and maintenance. He thoroughly tested the new drainage system they installed and took measurements to baseline whether the walls were stable. Michael explained everything to me and noted some other areas we should keep an eye on without trying to upsell me which I appreciated. He was friendly and thorough. I would recommend using Groundworks and give Michael a high review rating.

Great work from the this group. We had our annual inspection to the work they did and Michael Bowers was incredibly professional, personable and efficient. I felt completely comfortable with him in my home and appreciated the communication before during and after the inspection was completed.

Brandon C. , Roel L. and Zack B. Did a great job installing our new sump pumps with backup battery. They also insulated our crawl space which will keep our kitchen and dining room floors warmer this winter. They were very easy to work with and answered all of my questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future projects.

It is not fun to have to fix your foundation but Matt D Adam B Caitlin H Tyler H and Travis S helped to make it less painful. They were easy going and personable, but also knowledgeable HARD WORKERS! As much as it can be honestly said, I enjoyed having them here working on my house. They were excellent at cleaning up every day, actually always just doing a very neat job.

Dave Anderson came to perform a technical check up on the sump pump I’d had installed a few years ago. While doing so, he observed my basement had very high humidity, leaving it musty and prone to mold — he had a solution ready, and within the next few hours had me set up with a powerful dehumidification system which has since left my basement comfortably dry and the cleanest it has been since I bought the house several years ago! Thoroughly grateful for his service — he has been nothing but professional, friendly, transparent about pricing, accommodating, and genuinely interested in finding a workable solution to my situation. I’ve worked several times with many people from this company on my basement and foundation issues, and their customer service has always been professionally reliable and helpful; I would happily go back to Groundworks every time for all my future needs.

Jacob D and Lenard S provided great service. Professional and friendly. Made sure I knew what was going on and answered questions. Treated my home and my family with respect and didn't damage anything, which not all contractors seem concerned about. I have some additional basement work that will need to be complete and I will definitely be using Innovative again.

Dustin Gaudette did a great job of explaining the condition of the foundation, the problem, and the proposed solution. There was no high pressure sales pitch to sign the proposal right away. He gave us options and time to talk it over. Dustin has a construction background and it shows in the way he looks at a house.

IBA fixed my driveway and sidewalk saving me many thousands in concrete demo and repairs. Andrew and Ben did awesome work, even fixing areas I didn’t know needed repair until they pointed it out. Prompt, respectful, and efficient. And backed it up with a warranty. HIGHLY recommended!

I had John with Groundworks come look at house after learning my floor was out of level. He drove over and hour each way two times and spent hours in my house measuring, and hours more on the phone with me and discovered a wall that was out of plumb due to rotted supports on an overhang, causing the overhang to pull on the wall. He gave me a $13,000 beam and interior support pole proposal that he said they could do in addition to the overhang supports needing to be replaced by a different contractor, but told me point blank that what he had proposed would likely be for peace of mind only and likely a “net zero” benefit after the supports were replaced by a different contractor, so there was really no need to go through with the work from Groundworks. He could have easily told me their proposal was necessary and I’d have paid it in a heartbeat. Hours upon hours he spent working hard on my issue, identified the issue, told me how to solve it, and Groundworks never charged me a dime, even though I’d have bit hook line and sinker if he told me the proposal was necessary. Really unbelievable level of effort and integrity, I was amazed at how passionately he cared about solving my issue in the best way for me. Once in a lifetime experience.
