Accurate Basement Repair

They were very good. What we really liked is that they spent a lot of time looking over the entire property, not just the basement, before the work. The roof, gutters, and surrounding ground around the house were taken into consideration before the repairs and they gave us a lot of good information. They said they always do a drain tile test first which other companies we'd gotten quotes from didn't. They were very thorough and very careful about making sure that everyone involved in the project was on the same page. They were incredibly informative. The paperwork/estimate that was sent to us was very thorough and detailed.

An important part of the job is the estimator. Accurate's did quite well. He was a bit off on his judgement of ease-of-install, or 'fit', on one of the beams. The installation crew was able to get it fitted into place and secured without damaging existing joist or furnace ductwork. A poor estimator can cause the job to not go well. Next I did the demo of drywall and studding, exposing the hidden portion of wall. Then, with wall fully exposed, a project supervisor visited. He already knew I was doing the demo. His role was to inspect the job in detail, determine beam placement, and (in my case) advise any further stud or drywall removal AND tell me exactly which items had to be relocated. For me it was only electrical lines. No water or HVAC ducts had to be touched. This agreed with what the estimator had told me. I was 'told' by accurate that I had about 2 weeks to get all ready and in my case that was enough time. As far as getting the beams themselves into the basement I was blessed with having large windows in basement, allow beams to be slid into the basement rather than carried through the house. The install crew arrived as promised and was clean and professional. Quite noisy, which couldn't be helped, but I was not prepared for that. My wife and pets were a bit upset. I was able to engage, get and give input with crew foreman. I did stay in basement (with my hearing protection on) to observe and ensure no damage to joist or ductwork was done. I did make a point of staying out of their way, out of their space. Install time was a bit less than expected and they cleaned up and were gone. Accurate arranged the building inspector's visit but hadn't told me. Inspector came later than afternoon and signed off. After I paid the bill the waiver-of-lien form arrived promptly.

Accurate Basement is an outstanding provider of accurate foundation repair The quality of their work is beyond compare The professional manner from start to finish is to be commended They are the best foundation repair company I have ever worked with This is from a Licensed Home Inspector who is the current President of The Wisconsin Association of Home Inspectors Thank you Paul Chris and Bob for the excellent job you did on the foundation of my home Mike Von Gunten President of The Wisconsin Association of Home Inspectors

They are people of their word and stand behind their work.

The estimator was thorough in evaluating the situation. He gave an recommendation that matched that of an independent basement assessor. He was not trying to push us for more services than we needed or could afford. He was responsive in visiting a second time to give further estimates on some additional work we are requesting. We haven't chosen to move forward on this work yet, but we will most likely choose Accurate for the job.

Paul came to my home to address some concerns I had about my basement. He explained the possible repairs in an easily understandable way. The company performed a spud test and a drain tile test. They gave me a full written report. I decided not to go forward with any work at this time, and would monitor my basement. Never did I feel any pressure from anyone in the company. I would highly recommend Accurate Basement Repair to anyone who has concerns about their basement.

They came when they said they would and performed the work in a timely and professional manner

The owner was totally professional, on time and looked to get the project done correctly and right the first time. As well, this group wanted to engage an engineer because it was a situation that required more than one set of eyes to look at it in order to decide the proper solution. They were on time and pretty complete in what they did. They cleaned up unbelievably behind themselves and took care of everything from helping me with the engineer to getting the permits required to fix; it is a first class operation.

We have a wall in our basement that has water damage. Paul from Accurate Basements assessed the wall and surrounding areas thoroughly, and concluded that the source of the water was most likely a clogged down spout that drained underground. He discussed the steps we should take to cure the problem and also made some other recommendations to protect the wall. Paul was very professional, very thorough and very knowledgeable. He did not try to sell us a costly repair. I was very impressed with Paul and this company and would highly recommend them!!

I think they did a quality job. Communication was not perfect 100 percent of the time. For instance, extra things that need to be done--installing a stationary tub, fixing the radon blower--are not included in the quote. Accurate may arrange for them to do something, but you are dealing directly with them as separate vendors. They are not billed through Accurate. It would be better if Accurate took care of the whole thing, either themselves or with subcontractors.

Fine, estimate only no work performed

The repair crew arrived right on time, laid down tarps on our floor and steps to protect our carpeting as they brought all their equipment and the custom made reinforcement beams into our basement and completed their work efficiently and professionally in two hours! The work team was courteous and thoughtful, and we are very pleased with their work. We would highly recommend Accurate Basement Repair, and their 20 year transferable guarantee provides us with great security!

We had other estimates but we chose Accurate Basement Repair becausewe were most impressed by their knowledge andthey were on Angies list and had so many great reviews.

Fabulously! We discovered some simple fixes to our current problem and given an estimate on some future work that we can decide on when the time comes. Highly recommend!

I was very pleased with his willingness to provide insights and tips to fix the wet walls in our basement. He took his time and was very thorough in his explanations.

Paul spent a lot of time going over the issues in the basement with us and describing in detail what was normal for basements in this part of the country and made us feel at ease about our basement. He made several suggestions as to help improve the overall condition of our home and basement. He also left us with names and contacts of other professionals should we need them. We did not require his company's services at this time, but would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of basement or foundation repair work.

Paul Vaccaro came out to the house. He spent over 45 minutes going with us around the outside of the house and taking us around the basement, explaining why there were water stains. He gave us tips as to what we could do outside of the house ( install window wells, improve grading, fix a broken gutter, etc.) as well tips how to keep the basement dry. He said at this point his company's services were not needed but to let him know if his ideas do not correct the problem. There is no question that if Paul had not been honest he could have talked us into paying for unnecessary repairs. We truly appreciate his help and his honesty.

Now that's my idea of a truly honest businessman! I would recommend him very highly and certainly use his company if a repair was needed that fell within the scope of his services.

In about three weeks I will have the other company do the work on the house and write a review.

I felt he was honest, thorough and very easy to work with. He did not charge for the information provided.

The whole process was smooth and without any issues. They were quick to give us an estimate and performed the work in a timely matter which allowed us to get our home sold soon after. The crew cleaned up after themselves and did good work.

I came home from Afghanistan this spring with money saved to work on my basement. I wanted to put in a bedroom, but knew I needed to first make sure the basement would be free from the occasional, but bothersome, leaks I was experiencing.After getting 5 estimates from top companies on Angies List, I chose Accurate. After doing my homework, I based my decision on the number and quality of the reviews they received and the extensive repairs that they performed. Also impressive was that they gave me names of 4 independent foundation inspectors, one of which I hired to help me sort things out (the only company to do that). Paul was the estimator for Accurate, and performed a thorough inspection, giving very detailed explanations and contract. Once hired, they worked with the foundation inspector's report. This was an extensive project. A week of rain and 2 illnesses can cause that. The first full day of work was one very busy day, with at least 10 guys and 4 trucks working simultaneously to get the bulk of the work done. The rest of the work was done over the next few days. There were a couple hiccups. What I liked was that Accurate was willing to work out those hiccups and make it right for me.In the end, quality work shows. And I am very pleased with the work that was done. With such a large project, it was not cheap, but it was definitely worth every penny!

I had Paul come out to explain to me what was going on with my basement walls. They seemed damp and I wanted to know what he thought of the cracks. Come to find out I didn't need his services afterall. Way to be honest and not try to take advanage of me. I just ended up needing some grading done to help my problem.

My basement had water seepage and efflorescence so I contacted Accurate Basement. Paul took the time to provide me with a thorough education on my home's water management system (gutters, drain tile, grading, foundation, etc). I felt that the advice he gave me would be the same advice he would give to his own relative. I would have gladly paid $75 - $100 for the consultation as I feel Paul saved me hundreds by making a few simple recommendations that I could take care of myself. He explained that other companies could have sold me a sump pump system when all I needed was to fix some minor grading issues with a little dirt and make a few adjustments to a couple of downspouts. He truly had my best interest in mind.

Paul was professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Very courteous and easy to talk to..he made sure that we understood exactly what was happening. There was no "hard sell", which would not have worked with us. We're going to implement his suggestions, and call Accurate back when the problems in our basement become more severe. We do plan to use them in the future. Thanks Paul. Good job.
