Aden, Xavier, and Stephen are fine young men who done a really great job on the crawl space for our home. I have the greatest belief that these men will really do the job at the best of their ability. I even let them use my truck so they would not have to drive these mountains in the company very large truck. If you want a good job done request these young men. Proud of them.

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.

Tim Pratt came out today to our home in Beckley, WV for a free inspection and estimate. He was a pleasure to work with. Tim was professional and courteous while being very thorough and transparent on all the work that we needed done. He walked us through each issue and how they would repair it. We look forward to having this work completed by Groundworks and seeing the finished result. Additionally, Groundworks was incredibly fast with their response time and scheduling the estimate.

Michael Burgess, inspector, came to my house, and gave me an estimate on a new foundation drain. He stayed in contact with me from the start of the job until it was finished. He is a very kind person. I want to thank David & Robbie and the other workers that installed my drain and worked on my property. They did a great job! I also want to thank Courtney & Jeff. I highly recommend Basement Authority!
