Inside Guys Underpinning

We had Jakub and his team come and lower our basement approximately two and half feet for a total finished height of 8 and half feet. It went great. We had plumbing for a 4-piece bathroom roughed-in too. Two things that stuck out the most: first, Jakub and his whole team were always very polite and courteous. Second, the entire crew was super clean and tidy during the entire job. Jakub also co-ordinated all the sub-contractors that we would need for the job (HVAC, architect, structural engineer, plumber, mason, etc) everyone that he brought in was also extremely amicable. He ensured we had all the correct permits and organized city inspector visits. We opted for in-floor heating (water tubes in the concrete floor) and the installation with subcontractor went great. The final concrete is relatively smooth and no cracking during curing. At the end of it all he even arranged for a cleaning service for the house. Overall, top quality job.

My husband and I hired inside guys to do an excavation job and underpinning on our 6 ft basement. They took the ceilings to about 8 1/2 feet in about 2 months.

Jakub and his team were amazing. Despite being stuck at home during lockdown for an underpinning process the team made us feel as comfortable as possible. They were respectful of our neighbours and kept the site as clean as possible. To top it all off the work that was done was impeccable (we have gotten a lot of compliments from our finishing contractors).

I was referred to the Inside Guys from a neighbour who claimed they were able to deliver exactly what they said they would...on time and on budget.

I'm pleased to say that they delivered on that and more. Jakub and his team were responsive, knowledgeable and created a seamless outcome for our basement project.

The perfect trades company...do what you do...do it on time...do it on budget. All three boxes checked. Beyond that, every chance Jakub had to help with other trades and elements of my job that were outside his scope, he was happy to do it.

I can't speak any more highly of Inside Guys. My only sadness is that I won't work with them again, because can't underpin again!!!

We hired Jakub and his crew to deliver a perfect basement floor. Fit for light grinding but not too much granular showing through. We also wanted a lighter oatmealy colour to the floor once polished. Jakub and his crew were attentive to our needs, prepared the space to receive a slab cleanly, and set up the concrete pour using specs to suit the request. Jakub spent the better part of a full day working the floor to get it perfect. And even before grinding and polishing the floor looks great. It will allow for a really beautiful basement finish. Great job.

I have already posted this review elsewhere, but we are so satisfied with the job and this company’s professionalism that I am compelled to post it here too, and anywhere else I can think of.
Jakob and his crew were outstanding professionals who were meticulous, and did a wonderful job of underpinning our foundation and lowering our basement floor. They worked collaboratively with several other trades to ensure a seamless experience. We were provided with excellent communication which gave us great confidence. Long and short, we would highly recommend them!

We hired Jakub and Inside Guys to underpin and lower our basement. Our entire house was being renovated. Our house was built in 1880's with 18 inch stone/rubble construction walls. The basement was small, dark and wet. This was no easy task. They were on time an on budget. No hidden costs or last minute increases, no surprises. They were on site daily until the job was done. Their clean up was great. They lowered the basement, enlarged window casings and waterproofed. I wish the other trades were as professional. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to a friend.

I hired Jacob a second time — after his crew had waterproofed, brilliantly, the back of our house. The second job was a small parging task, and it’s a testament to Jacob’s customer service that he took on the job, despite its small size, and once again did a great job.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with the Inside Guys. Jakub is a pleasure to work with and it is obvious he cares deeply about his craft. He communicated what to expect each day, was always available for questions, and stuck to his timelines. He went above and beyond arranging sub contractors and services as needed and worked with our finishing contractors to ensure placement of plumbing rough-ins, etc. was satisfactory for our upcoming construction. Every member of the crew was friendly and courteous to us and the neighbours- we had many positive comments. Their attention to detail and cleanliness was very much appreciated- every day they left the house very tidy both inside and out. The job was done before the estimated deadline and within scope. Absolutely would recommend the Inside Guys to anyone looking to underpin!

If you want white glove service for underpinning, you found it. Jakub and his crew are FANTASTIC. They were efficient, friendly and super, super clean (they ensured that my house was swept every DAY). Jakub is incredibly responsive, solutions-oriented, extremely helpful (providing ancillary services that weren't in his scope), easy to work with, provided regular updates, and honest. The job was done before the estimated deadline and all within the quote. I have told all of my friends that are seeking to underpin their homes - go to Jakub and his crew at Inside Guys. I am happy to chat with anyone considering Inside Guys.

Inside Guys did a great job on lowering our homes basement, opening walls and expanding the basement length. They started the process at the end of January 2021 and we’re finished by mid March! We went from a 5ft headroom to a little over 8ft, which is remarkable. The team was very clean and professional. I highly recommend them to work on your home! Great job Milton and team.
