In February 2026, we contacted Groundwork’s with concerns about the stability of our home. Our floors were sagging, we had a large crack in our Living Room floor and hallway. We were also having trouble with mold and mildew. First, Groundwork’s Eric Reeder came to our home and inspected inside and out. Eric explained clearly what our structural issues were and how Groundwork’s could help. He also explained how crawl space encapsulation and a dehumidifier could help our mold and mildew problems. Eric was very professional and made us feel at ease. We were relieved that there were solutions to our homes issues. In March 2026, Joseph Bailey and his Groundwork’s team; Chris, Bryce and C.J. Basham came to install the needed structural support for our home, as well as encapsulating our crawl space and installing a dehumidifier. They were so professional, polite and friendly. Joseph patiently answered all of our questions, and explained about the work they would be performing. Joseph and his crew installed a floor support system in our crawl space to stop our floors from sagging, restoring stability to our home. They encapsulated our crawl space leaving it bright and clean. When the job was completed, Joseph and his team cleared all debris and left everything tidy. The work they performed has been such a relief. We have invested in the value of our home, and we are so glad we called Groundwork’s!

I couldn’t be happier! Logan J came out several months ago and identified my issues, Aden came out and fixed everything. Logan came again today to check on everything and make sure I was happy with the result. I’ll be having him back soon to inspect my other crawl to encapsulate it!

My experience with Groundworks was great. The team was very knowledgeable as well as punctual, from start to finish. Jared Garnes inspected piers that were put in at my home.

Our initial sidewalk lifting & repair was was not what we expected, however the company sent another crew that did an exceptional job! They were professional, knowledgeable and went above & beyond in their effort to improve the initial repair. The completed job was very good and we appreciate the company standing by their claim to meet customer expectations. The workers Patrick & Raphael not only did an outstanding job, they were also meticulous in the clean-up. They truly exhibit a positive customer service attitude for which we were very grateful!

Tim Pratt was wonderful. He came to our house in Elkins, WV after calling to let us know he was coming. He was very friendly, professional, and kind. We did not feel pressured, and he considered several estimates. I highly recommend that you give him a raise in his pay. You do not want to loose him.

Had my basement window well replaced by Bix after it started to cave in and fill with water after a storm. They were quick to come out and price it and got me scheduled quick as well. They came out on time and got the work done in a timely manner. The workers were friendly and professional. After a few rains they did a great job of coming back out and smoothing out the fill dirt and reseeding. I would definitely use them again.
