We hired Ohio Basement Authority to do an estimate on a foundation repair for a house we had in contract. Unfortunately for all concerned, the foundation required a complete overhaul. The cost was much more than either we or the seller could bear. We decided not to buy the house, so we did not have OBA do the repair work.

I am very satisfied. Justin was very careful to explain every step of each repair so I understood what he was doing. Everything was very professional.
Description of Work: I had a large crack in my basement wall and some of my downspouts on the outside of the house were no working properly. The basement wall was reinforced with carbon fiber supports and they sealed the cracks. This work comes with a lifetime warranty. One downspout was redirected away from the foundation and another required extensive repair. They also included some drainage grading to assist with redirecting the flow of water away from the foundation.

Of the three basement repair companies I interviewed for the work, Ohio Basement Authority provided the most competitive price quote and did not use high pressure sales tactics like one of the other competitors did. The entire experience was completely professional from beginning to end. They offered the quickest schedule to complete the work of all the competitors and even brought additional crew on site to perform the work allowing them to complete the job in one day instead of the two days they originally projected the job would take. Their work crew were all very pleasant and professional and fully explained everything they did and answered all of my questions. When finished, they completely cleaned up the worksite so that you could not even tell that they had been there. I would absolutely use Ohio Basement Authority again if the need arose and would definitely recommend them as a preferred contractor for anyone else in need of basement repair services.
Description of Work: Ohio Basement Authority installed a series of carbon fiber strips on the walls of my basement to correct some cracks and minor shifting of the walls.

We were selling my Dad's house when we discovered the basement wall was damaged and the downspouts were crushed. They inspected thoroughly and came up with a plan to correct the problems. They scheduled the repair in a timely manner, were very professional and did excellent work. They responded quickly to any concerns that arose, and the repairs were done quickly with no mess left behind. The yard was damaged, but they worked hard to repair it and also corrected the grading around the house. They were sensitive to the fact that the house was for sale and did all they could to make the repair a plus . Their lifetime, transferable guarantee is the icing on the cake. They went above and beyond and I highly recommend them without any hesitation.

They responded quickly, showed up on time, and gave me an estimate. They were also nice, knowledgeable, and didn’t put on the hard sell. The estimate was for a big job and it was a bit more expensive, but I think it was a fair price.

We will be recommending Basement Authority to others because of our satisfaction with your service. We look forward to doing business with you for years to come. Basement Authority is officially my go to company for any Basement issues I encounter for my primary residence and investment properties.
Description of Work: We are very pleased with the quality of service Basement Authority provides. I was impressed from our first appointment. Their estimate was not only the most affordable compared to the other four companies I received estimates from, but it was the most detailed. I really appreciated the time spent on educating me on your solution for our basement. This made me understand the process and reasons of the work that needed to be done. I felt confident I was making the right decision. Not only were they the most affordable and offered the best long term solution, but they saved me money by being honest and not adding additional unnecessary costs. They also went above and beyond by adding a few extras that made my life easier. We sincerely appreciate their responsiveness and the way you conduct business. Your team completed this project on schedule. They were extremely professional and diligent during our tedious project.

I was not satisfied with the estimate that they gave me and I called some other company. He told me that I didn’t need to do any work right now, because the guy from other company said we need the outside of the house graded and that will draw the water away from the foundation. That part of the service that they provide he recommended but I already knew I needed that anyway. He recommended having that done and then that would solve the problem and if it didn’t he was happy to come out and do more work and not to waste my money if I didn’t need it. So I have not been very happy with them and I am not going to have them to do the work, if I need the work done I will call others. Right now I will not have them do it. He showed up on time and was very nice. He looked at everything and seemed very through. He showed me all kinds of pictures of work that they have done. He explained everything to me and wrote out a quote. I think he was telling me of the work that I didn’t need.

I decided to go with Basement Authority due to the salesman honesty, price and product. Victor did not hard pressure me into buying that day and spent a lot time assuring me of the product and job.The installer were very professional and friendly and the office staff was very responsive to my calls and questions. I would use again in the future if needed and would recommend to others.

Basement Authority is a top notch company. The experience with the company from the beginning has been exceptional. The gentlemen that have been finishing my basement have been excellent. They take the time to speak with you and are trust worthy. They make sure they are addressing your needs and make sure you are satisfied with the project. They are willing to help you and allow making last minute changes. If you are looking for someone to do your basement I HIGHLY recommend Basement Authority. You will NOT be disappointed.

He came and said it wasn't serious, and said I have to get a handyman. Water's coming down, is draining, and running in the basement. My daughter was there. He said it was a small handyman's job. He looked at it. He was wonderful, he didn't try to take advantage of me, and he told me the truth. I found him on Angie's List, he had a lot of reviews, and that's why I called him. He didn't quote a price. I give him higher ratings and would use him if needed in the future.

Showed up on time for estimate. Did thorough estimate. Explained their process. I interviewed four vendors and I chose not to use this company. This is not a good or bad, just the fact that I felt another company's process and estimate better met my needs.

I received a few quotes for this work and was very impressed with Basement Authority. They took the extra time to give me a detailed report of the issues I was having with my basement. They also took the time to answer all of my questions. I learned quite a bit! When it came time to do the work, they we punctual and professional. The work was done within their stated time frame. When the work was complete, I was given a complete run down of all that was involved to correct the water issues in my basement. I am very satisfied with the work performed. I would definitely call Basement Authority again if I need any basement repairs performed and would not hesitate to recommend them to someone else.

I had a positive experience with them. They were great. They were done the same day. Their responsiveness was pretty good, though they did have to delay one day at one point.
Description of Work: They rerouted my house valves and consolidated them into one piping that funneled the water into the street as opposed to laying it on the foundation.
