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!

We recently had our crawlspace encapsulated, and Basement Authority of WV were great to work with. Carrie did our inspection and was thorough and communicative. Trenton, Jordan, and Joey completed our project quickly. They were professional, prompt, and efficient. They even came back the next day to address an issue with the custom door. I was impressed by their communication and the way they cleaned up after each day’s work. I would highly recommend all of these folks.

Eric Reeder came to give us an estimate and we signed the contract while he was there to have the work done. He was so nice and knowledgeable and gave us a price we were very happy to accept. I would recommend him and Basement Authority to anyone with basement/water problems. Didn’t need another estimate. Thank you Eric!

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!
