Rock Bottom Underpinning

We obtained 3 quotes for our basement underpinning. We chose to go with Rock Bottom because they edged out their competition on all of our most significant criteria: cost, time required, estimated start time and references.

Rock Bottom underpinned our existing basement of approximately 125 linear feet. In addition to the usual scope of work for underpinning, our project included demolition of our existing basement drywall, framing, flooring, etc. The crew also installed hydronic flooring.

We got off to a slow start. We signed our contact on March 21st, but didn't submit our permit application until June. Blain from Cadmonkeys who worked with us to prepare the floorplan for our permit application was not very responsive. The permit was issued on July 24, but we weren't made aware of that until August 11th. The work started in October.

Once the work began, it went very smoothly. The crew worked tirelessly, six days a week. They finished the job on time, which was much appreciated because we had other work scheduled to begin shortly after.

We are very happy with the quality of the work Rock Bottom did for us. That's most important to us. It was completed for the agreed price, without any surprises. The crew took great care not to damage our home and to keep the site clean. Jamie, who oversaw the work, kept us informed of progress and thoughtfully suggested ideas to make the new layout ideal, such as the placement of the overhead beams, sump pump, sewage ejector and water meter.

Overall, we were happy enough with the underpinning that we agreed to have Rock Bottom finish our basement. That work is currently underway, and the quality is looking very good, indeed.

We would recommend that you seriously consider Rock Bottom for your basement underpinning.
