We would highly recommend DRYCRETE WATERPROOFING. We consulted with other companies and were not happy with their prices and the way they pressured us to make a decision. Thank God, a family member recommended DRYCRETE. Best suggestion ever! The owner Jason is an excellent business person, down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. He has his schedule down pat and frequently updated us as the work progressed. He was so willing to explain the how's and whys for what the job entailed. He also explained the pump monitoring system and helped us install the app for our phones and computer, and got us online and monitoring our system in minutes. Jason was just a pleasure to deal with. Trustworthy and dedicated to delivering what he promised, and his crew are just as wonderful....hard working, self directed, no nonsense type workers. Their aim was to do a job well done and efficiently and they sure succeeded! They even did an excellent job of cleaning up after completion. High marks for all! Absolutely no regrets on choosing DRYCRETE!

I recently bought a house and negotiated the installation of a sump pump/drainage system into the sale. I chose Drycrete for the installation because the price was fair and my initial interaction with Jason, the owner, was straight-forward and informative. I checked in with him several times leading up to the installation and he was always quick to respond with the information I was looking for. He attended the installation and kept me informed of why each step of the excavation/installation was necessary, offering thorough explanations throughout the process. He walked me through the pump installation/function/maintenance as well as that of the whole system, which, being a first-time homeowner, was much appreciated. The install was efficient with minimal mess, and the clean-up was fastidious. They even removed an old set of stairs I had intended to take out myself and dugout, leveled, graveled and re-poured the floor in it's place at no extra cost. I highly recommend Drycrete to anyone in need of a waterproof basement.

Fantastic! After meeting several companies to evaluate my basement and provide quotes, I chose to go with Jason of DryCrete Waterproofing. He was competitive with pricing, incredibility knowledgeable, he answered all of my questions and concerns thoughtfully with great detail, and truthfully felt the most sincere; there was no sales pitch, just information and facts. The day the work started Jason and his entire team showed up on time and completed the agreed upon work on time. He took the time to take pictures of the work at different junctures and shared with me so i could see the work as it progressed along. They were clean, efficient, hardworking...simply put a professional company. Jason stayed on site working with his crew the entire duration of the job. Once the work was complete he walked me through the job, clean-outs, the sump and how to set up my account on my computer and app on smart phone so my pump can be monitored and maintained by the company remotely...I love this! A final small but important note is they left my basement cleaner than when it was when they arrived. If you are in the market to get your basement waterproofed, make sure you call DryCrete Waterproofing.

Jason runs a very professional, efficient, and quality-minded small business. He promptly returned my calls, provided a written estimate, clearly explained what needed to be done to address my flooding basement, answered all my questions, and managed my expectations about lead times. He and his crew arrived early, had all the prep work done the day before and installed the french drain and sump pump in half a day. They left with my basement cleaner than when they entered it. They removed old mirrors and railings and even cemented a drainage hole in the main house cellar. I would highly recommend them!
Description of Work: I needed to address a small basement addition that flooded. I called Drycrete (and a couple other firms) based on reviews on Angie's list. I selected Drycrete because after meeting Jason, the owner, I felt his integrity, knowledge, and experience far surpassed the other companies I spoke with. I didn't get a "dog and pony show" or any "smoke and mirrors" about the process. A simple, straight forward explanation and quote process along with a reasonable price made this an easy decision for me. And he didn't let me down.

Great! There team arrived on time and worked like pros. Very happy with the completed job.
We finished our basement about 6 years ago and had a contractor install a sump pump, with a 10 year warranty. After a new flood this Spring (sump pump failed), we called the guy who gave us a 10 year warranty - out of business.... So... We researched solutions we got quotes from Drycrete Waterproofing and 3 other companies specializing in keeping water out of the basement. 2 of the 4 were priced ridiculously and had a high pressure sales tactic. One was less expensive, but I wasn't so sure of their quality. I met with Jason from Drycrete at our house and found him to be courteous, personable, knowledgable and extremely responsive. We hired him after reviewing his quote, set a date for the work to be done 2 months out do to his schedule and ours. A week before I had a few questions - he was quick to respond. Given we set the install 2 months in advance, I was skeptical that they would meet that date, but Jason and his team came exactly on the pre-set date, finished on time (2 full days) and on budget. The install had more than a few obstacles, but Jason worked around them and made sure we knew of any issues along the way. So far, so good, and we hope to keep it that way. The new Sump pumps are "smart" and send updates of use weekly to my email. Now I'm confident enough to refinish the basement and not be worried about the next major rain event. All in all, we are very pleased with Drycrete Waterproofing. Reasonably priced, well managed, and on time! I only wish all contractors were like that. Highly recommend Jason and his team.

Based on great reviews on Angie's List I called Drycrete. I was more than a little annoyed to hear a recording stating if I wanted a quote, it must be done online. That was highly impersonal and not indicative of good customer service, however I did make the online request. Three days went by and I have never been contacted. Even if I receive a call, I would not do business with a company that puts so little value into a potential new customer.

Response from Drycrete Waterproofing
[Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you do not like the way we set up appointments and gather peoples information. We are a small very hands on company that does all the work ourselves. This spring has been overwhelming busy for us. In due respect, you sent in a request for a quote Tuesday afternoon after the holiday weekend. Friday morning you left a very nasty message on my voicemail not even leaving your name. I called back and left a message for you and then tried you 2 more times later that day. On the 3 try you answered by yelling at me "what did you not get about I will not due business with you." You never even gave us a chance and now you go online and write a bad review. Please do me a favor and do not talk poorly about a business or how it is ran if your not even willing to except a phone call back less than 3 days after you sent in the quote request. We work very hard as a small business to provide high quality work for our customers and unfortunately we can not get to everyone. The quote request form states to please give us 3 days to call back which we did but as you stated in your voice message to be that was too annoying to you, for that I apologize but we are doing the best we can as a small business to get back to people during this very busy time.
I had a terrific experience working with this company. I would definitely use them again. Jason, the owner was professional, accommodating and was on site to supervise the installation.

I found Drycrete Waterproofing on Angie's List in December of 2016. I called and left a message and, within a few hours, the owner, Jason, called to set-up an appointment for an estimate. He arrived on time and was polite and patient with all of my questions. He explained the type of system he would install and he drew up a thorough, well-written estimate BEFORE he left my house. His estimate was more than reasonable; I signed the contract soon after. Jason gave me a target date for the work to be done and he was spot-on with assessment. He arrived early in the morning with his crew. He stayed on-site for the entire project and participated in the work. Jason, his foreman, and his crew were polite and respectful of my property. If I had any questions or concerns for Jason, all work would stop. Jason would patiently address my concerns The job took an entire day and a few hours of the following morning. The installation of a perimeter drain creates lots of dust and debris, but Jason and his crew did their best to prevent any such intrusion into the main part of my house. They cleaned up the basement afterwords. All I needed to do was to mop the basement floor once the concrete had dried. In addition to the perimeter drain, Jason installed a mesh "grid" along the base of my foundation wall to funnel water, if present, into the perimeter drain. The drain lines empty into a large sump with a PumpSpy sump pump. I had never heard of this system before, but Jason highly recommended it. The PumpSpy system includes a main pump, a battery back-up pump, and a cellular connection to a free monitoring service. If any issues occur, I receive a text and an email alerting me to the problem. There is an app for one's phone as well. It offers great piece of mind, especially during a storm or if you are away. Overall, Jason and Drycrete Waterproofing provide high quality work and excellent customer service. I did not know Jason before this experience and this review is completely unsolicited. I just want people to know that he has a great company and does great work. I have recommended him to neighbors and a home improvement company in my town (in case they need to sub-contract such a job).

Jason as so easy to work with. He was by far the easiest to communicate with and had the lowest quote. He came with his crew and got all of the work done in one day. You would barely know they were there besides the jack hammering. Would definitely recommend.

It is a pleasure to deal with people who work efficiently, carefully, and get the job done right. I give them the highest marks!
Description of Work: I didn't think it was possible for my basement to be free of standing water! I always try to find a local company to do any work needed on my home, and was pleased to find Jason Kaye in Waltham. His crew managed to drill through 8 inches of concrete in my basement, put down French drains all around the perimeter, cover them with gravel and concrete, and leave a clean and dry basement behind them. I now have a battery-back up sump pump that will report problems to my computer and to JK's office in case of malfunction.

Jason was professional, responsive, courteous, and did a great job installing our sump pump and drainage system. When we had an issue with the pump two years later (a manufacturing issue and not Jason's fault) he contacted the manufacturer, obtained a new and upgraded pump (with battery backup), and installed the new unit all at no charge to us. He always answered the phone when we called, even after hours, and he went out of his way to make us happy. We couldn't be happier with his services, and would highly recommend him to anyone.

They had to dig down like 2 feet, they were like some concrete under peonage drainage under that. They were all good, they were very good. It’s challenging to find someone to renovate a basement and dig down and do that work and they handled it. It was a challenging job. A lot of dirt to dig out and it was not easy. So, in terms of basement renovations, that’s where these guys are very good.
Description of Work: I used Drycrete, they did the whole dig down to the basement. They did the dig down 24 inches and the drainage system.

Great. All is well now thanks to Jason and PumpSpy. I would not have realized that my pumps were not working if I didn't have the PumpSpy monitoring system. Eventually, water in my basement would have alerted me to the problem but the problem was corrected without a drop of water in my basement :) Promp, professional response and problem solved without a fee for the home visit.
Description of Work: Jason and gang installed a complete drainage system in my basement in April 2015. My pumps have a backup battery and a monitoring system (PumpSpy) which monitors my sump pump system 24/7. I have not had a problem with water in my basement since the installation. I also am comforted by the fact that if the system has an issue, I will receive a text message from PumpSpy. Yesterday, 12/1/2016, I got a text from PumpSpy indicating a problem with the motor on my primary pump. After checking the pump, I realized that it was not pumping so I called Jason from Drycrete Waterproofing. He returned my call within 15 minutes. When he called, he had already contacted PumpSpy to go over the diagnostics on my pump. We agreed that the problem could wait until the next day and Jason showed up as promised to remidy the situation. The price was right too. No charge!

Jason and his team were amazing to work with. When I had Jason come out for an estimate he was on time, professional, and not a penny pusher. He gave us a reasonable quote that worked with our budget and scheduling the work was very easy. We had the work completed over the last two days and couldn't be happier with the work, walking us through the project, timeliness, and result. His work is also 100% guaranteed which is a wonderful peace of mind! We highly recommend Drycrete and would use him again.

Excellent work, excellent experience - Jason and his team were fast, honest, and professional. His rate was very competitive and the quality of his work was superb. The job took 1.5 days from start to finish. Scope of work was for internal french drain system installation, but Jason fixed several items at no extra charge to bring everything up to his high standards, including refilling a thin area of floor that was damaged, filling a concrete gap between a window and the basement, disposing of old concrete sink, and reworking the pipes from the pump to make them look better and work more efficiently. Cleanup of the job site was done properly and they moved our washer and dryer back in to place and hooked them up as well. We got multiple quotes and Jason's was the lowest and didn't sacrifice any quality whatsoever. Competing quotes were from other A-rated vendors on Angie's List that sent professional salespeople whose bids included unnecessary work - one of the other vendors wanted to sell me a third pump for a small basement area underneath a sun-room addition and a massive dehumidifier that was overkill for the size of our basement. They also tried to justify a premium for their patented rectangular pipe system. French drain technology has been around for a hundred plus years, so that all seemed like a marketing trick. By contrast, Jason's assessment and quote was well-reasoned and he clearly knew more about waterproofing than the salespeople from other companies - probably because he does the work himself and is on the job site with his team. This job was for a 100 year old house in Wellesley. Job completed September 2016. I would highly recommend Drycrete. We have worked with several contractors lately for a variety of projects to fix up the house we just bought (new roof, paint, floors, kitchen, bathrooms) and by far Jason was the most professional and honest and easy to deal with, and the quality of his work was to the highest standard.

We shopped around for a company to install a full perimeter drain for our 130 year old home with field stone foundation after unexpectedly learning our "finished" basement had no waterproofing done beforehand and was a wet, moldy mess. Immediately after contacting Jason we felt much more comfortable working with Dry Crete than its chain competitors. It was obvious in our initial phone conversation that Jason was very knowledgable about waterproofing and that was confirmed upon meeting him and receiving a proposal. Jason directly runs the job from beginning to end and communication was great. He answered any questions immediately and thoroughly, offered to put us in touch with past clients who own similar homes, showed up on the scheduled day and worked with his crew the entire time. Our old house inevitably provided a few surprises on the day of the job (no fault of Dry Crete) and Jason and his crew went above and beyond to remedy any issues and keep the job moving along and ultimately finished on time and at the quoted price. Overall Jason's professionalism and demeanor made this unexpected and potentially stressful project much easier on us and we highly recommend Dry Crete.
