Working with Richard from Groundwork’s was truly such a blessing. From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure we felt heard, understood, and completely confident in the process. His knowledge is unmatched — no matter what question or concern we had, he answered it thoroughly and patiently, never making us feel rushed or overlooked. What meant the most to us was how intentional he was about staying in contact. He kept us updated every step of the way and made sure we always knew what was happening, which brought so much comfort and reassurance during the project. Richard’s dedication, honesty, and genuine care for his work and his clients truly set him apart. We are beyond grateful for the experience and would recommend Groundwork’s without hesitation.

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!

Michael Cornecelli came to my house to do a basement inspection. I have a crack and a bowed wall and water leaks in. He was very thorough and detailed in the inspection. He explained everything that was wrong and exactly how they could fix the grounds. I’m very happy with the level of detail and customer service. I give him a 10/10.
