Basement underpinning, walkout, and waterproofing

The Inside Guys tackled out basement underpinning, walkout and waterproofing. They did any amazing job! The worksite was always left spotless each night. The guys on the job were polite and helpful (we lived there during the work). We were unlucky with the historic rainfall during the middle of the job and Jakub went over and above to make sure everything was safe, structurally sound. Jakub has great communication- always keeping us up to date on the project and taking the time to explain what they were doing. The job was done on time and on budget!!!! The quality of work was exceptional. I would recommend them to everyone.

Interior waterproofing

Jakub and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They were very transparent about the options we had for the work that needed to be done. They were very thorough and efficient in their work. They also made sure to tidy up and put things back as they were before doing the job. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for waterproofing help!

Excellent Work and Reliable Service

Referred by the husband of a colleague and verified by a friend who is a contractor about The Inside Guys. This company was hard working, efficient, polite and clean. They worked hard to ensure that the waterproofing of my basement was done to the specifications we had discussed. They were informative, honest and had answers to all my questions. They quote they provided for me was true and there were hidden or surprise fees. They were very trust-worthy and did exactly what they promised. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Underpinning and Waterproofing Work

I recently hired Inside Guys for a home renovation project, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding.

First and foremost, the efficiency of the team was remarkable. They completed the work ahead of schedule without compromising on quality. Every task was handled with precision and attention to detail, showcasing their high standards of workmanship.

Communication was a breeze throughout the project. The team was incredibly responsive to all my questions and concerns, providing clear and prompt answers. Their transparency in invoicing was also greatly appreciated; there were no hidden costs or unexpected charges, and everything was laid out clearly from the beginning.

One of the most impressive aspects of working with Inside Guys was how my daily routine (especially needing to work from home) was not disrupted by the work. While this is totally subjective, I found the noise to be minimal and (at least during the spring) there was very little traces of dust being picked up and transported in our central air system.

Finally, the quality of work was exceptional. The final outcome exceeded my expectations, and I am thrilled with the transformation. I highly recommend Inside Guys to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and efficient home renovation service. They truly delivered on every promise and made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable

Inside Guys Underpinning: Professionalism & Respect for Neighbours!

Inside Guys' expertise in underpinning was crucial for my laneway garage project.
They efficiently handled the foundation work, from excavating the old pad to pouring the new one and filling the cinderblock walls and then the final concrete parking pad.

The project spanned 5 months, and Jakub was incredibly responsive, always available to coordinate with other trades. Whether it was cleaning up for the next day's work or helping with disposal from any of the trades, they ensured the project ran smoothly.

Jakub's clear communication kept everyone on the same page. He was readily available to answer questions and collaborated seamlessly with other trades. Whether it was coordinating cleanup for the next day's work or facilitating debris disposal, his proactive approach kept the project moving smoothly.

What truly impressed me was Inside Guys' exceptional consideration for my neighbours. They went above and beyond the call of duty to minimize noise and dust. Jakub kept them informed about the construction phases and addressed any concerns promptly. This proactive approach fostered a positive atmosphere on the street neighbours even commented on the daily tidiness and impressive workmanship.

Inside Guys truly embody their values of quality, integrity, and value. Their expertise and genuine care for both the project and the neighbourhood exceeded my expectations.
Thanks to Jakub and his crew for their mindfulness, professionalism, and hard work.
I highly recommend them for any underpinning/waterproofing or any construction project!

Underpinning

This company was lovely to work with. The team lead, Jakub, was kindhearted and always used manners and etiquette. His style of interaction translated to his entire team as well. Which was so refreshing! They even showed "class" when dealing with a confrontational grumpy neighbor directly next door to us.

The work included: consulting, designing, structural engineering, plumbing, electrical, city permits, drawings, materials, lots of digging, lots of dumpsters, porta potty and always cleaning up after mess. It was timed well and as expected between 6-8 weeks work from Feb 12 point of basement drill to April 12. Expect 4 weeks of paper work prep before the first dig. All in all, good timing. Our family resided in the home the whole time with no complaints. Now, if you work from home, you may want to set up office on second floor and if you don't have this access, go to your local Toronto Public Library for the work day! We are a busy working family so weekdays was absolutely fine for the guys to work away. They had the freedom to work, blast music and have the job done!

Yes, I would reccommend this company for your next underpinning job.

Basement Underpinning

I recently had Inside Guys Underpinning dig and underpin my entire basement. From the moment they began to the finish the service and quality was without question the best I have ever seen! Not only was it on time and on budget, the work site was always tidy and at the end of each day the interior and exterior was swept and the sidewalks hosed down. Every neighbour commented on how clean and professional Inside Guys Underpinning managed the work site. All of Jakubs staff from Architects, plumbers, HVAC are exceptional!! I was able to remain in my home throughout the entire process which was critical for me.
I will forever recommend and insist on all of my clients use this company. Thank you Jakub for all of your hard work!!!

Basement Floor Slab Lowering and Structural Bench at Foundation Wall

Inside Guys was extremely professional throughout the process of our basement lowering. We wanted to do parts of the project ourselves to save costs which they were very supportive and helpful of, explaining how the process worked, reviewing work completed, and discussing next steps. They provided contacts for subs when needed, and completed their own scope expertly (the most important portion of the project - precise measurements, concrete forming, doweling, granular base and pouring). His crew was very polite, efficient, and clean. The front area of our house between the house and the sidewalk was left cleaner than before they started. Overall they were very hard working and pleasant to work with.

More about Inside Guys Underpinning

OUR COMPANY VALUES
Quality. Integrity. Value.

The Inside Guys are a full-service basement improvement company, with an emphasis on basement lowering, waterproofing and underpinning. Having worked in the industry for the past 26 years, on over 250 projects within the GTA for various construction companies, we noticed that there was something missing with some of these bigger companies: the communication and professionalism was lacking on many jobsites.

We decided to model our company based on higher ethical standards combined with superior craftsmanship. We realize that we are only as good as our last job and future work success is dependent on our reputation. We not only want to exceed your expectations for the work but also how smooth the project runs so we pride ourselves on being there from the day one until it’s done.
We care about what we build for you.

WE DO ALL THE WORK.

We work with every client, one-on-one from start to finish. We promise to not only quote the work, but to also do the work.

This is something unique in our industry – we want to bring back accountability to the jobsite and ensure homeowners are treated with knowledge and respect.

From the moment we take on your project, your peace of mind is our main priority. We want a clear and transparent process, with on-going communication and continuous support so you can be assured the job will get done right the first time.

We will not only promise to do all of the day to day work but we will also act as project supervisors and ensure that each project is constructed to plan with no variations. We will deal with the City of Toronto Inspectors directly so that no communication is lost if there are ever any discrepancies.
If you have any questions at the end of the day we will provide you with pictures of the day’s work and let you know what the next steps will be.

At the end of the day, it comes down to trust. We feel that we must earn it.

At the end of each job you will receive a folder that includes the original drawings, locates, inspection reports and a zip drive of images for your peace of mind.

Uncompromising quality, exceptional service, competitive pricing and unsurpassed results.
