It couldn't have gone better.
Description of Work: A beautiful flag pole complete with American Flag and solar lighting was installed compliments of Mr. Romans desire to thank Veterans. A super gesture and one I'll hold dear forever. The installers were very friendly, as well as the ladies who attended the flag raising. Very professional and the flag looks gorgeous. The solar lighting makes a halo on the ground from atop the flag.

I met with the rep of this company after I had received a proposal for $120,000 (yes $120,000) to fix the humidity problem in my basement. The sad thing was that company didn't understand why we didn't purchase that option. Quality First Basement came in presented a professional approach to solving my problem without overselling their approach. Utilizing a sump with battery back up and a low temperature dehumidifer with a hepa air cleaner they solved our problem for under $2,500. There was a problem that manifested itself after the installation and they came back twice at no cost to me to rectify the situation. They were pleasent to deal with and I can't express this enough, not the typical shyster/snake oil sales approach that you see in basement waterproofing business. I have no hestitation and would and have recommended them several times.

The estimator was on time and gave an accurate description, including time needed to complete the job. The workers were on time and efficient. They cleaned up the mess. I had a problem with the way the sump pump drained out of the house, and all it took was one phone call, and they were back at my house within 3 days to reposition the drain outlet. I would highly recommend these guys in the future.
Description of Work: They installed French drains.

They sent out the nicest men to work at our home. They were prompt and did the work neatly. I recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Our basement had a flood, and we called 1st Quality Basement and they did the complete basement 150 ft. We have also a backup system, that in case our power goes out and the need for the pump to go on it will.

Thorough beginning to end, worked totally independent of me, finished exactly on time. Covered everything, left everything clean, attentive to dust naturally created. I needed only sand the joints and paint the new sheetrock. Been bone dry ever since. Priced far below competition, yet with I think a superior product and honest attitude. Second time we used them (on another facility).
Description of Work: Installed french drain in finished basement. Cut out lower 12'' of wall, jackhammered almost 200' around, installed tubes and two new sump pumps, re-placed studs and sheetrock. Took 3 days with 3 men.

I have found the performance of the company and the services they provided completely satisfactory in every way. Their estimate process was low-pressure. Their price for the services was reasonable, they arrived promptly, according to the appointment schedule, and completed the job as promised. While installing such a system is a difficult business, they took every step possible to minimize the noise and dust resulting from having to break through the entire concrete perimeter of a basement. The job was neatly done, basement cleanup was excellent and they carted off all waste concrete and dirt resulting from the installation. Since the installation of the system, I have never had any water entering my basement, although this had been quite common during rainfalls prior to the installation. I have had numerous calls from other potential customers considering Quality 1st Basement and I have always provided them with a positive reaction and recommendation.
Description of Work: Quality 1st Basement performed a waterproofing service for my basement about five years ago. Installed a French drain system and a sump and sump pump to drain away rain water before it flooded the basement, which it had been doing for many years prior to the installation of this system. Quality 1st basement has returned by appointment on a yearly basis there after to check the status and operation of the system and to make any necessary repairs or adjustments.

Although the price was a little high, I felt that having a dry basement, with the potential now to make it into an entertainment area, was worth every penny. Everyone I spoke with--office staff, sales guy, installer, was pleasant and respectful. I couldn't have asked for more. Quality 1st solved my nightmare and now I have a great new room in the house!

My first initial contact was with Siobhan. She set up my appointment very quickly and assured me that they can help us. She was so nice and polite. She made me feel at ease and made me feel comfortable. I really liked that she told me she was going to be mailing out a packet and a book about there company. That book was great! It helped me understand the problem I was having in my basement. The technician that came out was great too. He didn't pressure me at all. Even the crew that came to my house. Overall I had a great experience with this company. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They installed a drainage system they called water-guard and a triple safe sump pump system.
