Underpinning, structural enhancement, dig-out, waterproof, and pour new floor

Floor Laying & Refinishing review in Oakville

From initial-meet hand shake to finished-project hand shake, Gavin was truly the most pleasant person you could hope to work with. Very quick to earn our trust with our home and investment, Gavin was a great listener, gave great advice tailored to our needs, showed up to start on plan and finished our challenging project essential on plan (we had some challenges arise which he and the team accommodated which also included some unplanned weekend appearances to pick up some lost time!). We had no major surprises from Gavin on start, process, plan, finish, or costs which greatly helped keep our anxiety levels down. We would happily recommend Gavin and he would be our first call if ever doing this type of work again. Thanks Gavin and team!

Underpinning, Parging and Sump Pit Replacement

Plumbing review in Oakville

My wife and I cannot speak more highly of Dean and the crew. We inherited a bunch of problems when buying a home and each has now been successfully remediated by GJ MacRae. Every member of the team has been respectful, on-time and throughly professional in completing the respective scopes of work, including keeping the worksite tidy and cleaning up at the end of each project. They have our thanks and we highly recommend them.

Foundation repair and waterproofing

Foundations review in Toronto

Gavin and the team at GJ MacRae did a great job on the foundation repair and waterproofing of our 19th Century home. They were recommended by our General Contractor.

Gavin was happy to answer all my questions about the work being done and regarding maintenance going forward. The team worked hard, were polite, and finished before we knew it. I even got a follow up email after the work was done to see if all was well and if any further help was needed. Highly recommended!

Basement Leak - Needed it to be dry!

Plumbing review in Burlington

The horror of wet carpet in the basement along the foundation wall that you know wasn't the result of a dropped glass of water. It is unfortunately what many of us with block foundations in older homes have experience with. Gavin and his crew were professional in their area of expertise from the first call through to the end of the job. Core work included gaining access to the foundation wall to allow for waterproofing and upgrading the weeping tile system. The work was completed safely, on schedule, thoroughly as per the scope and cleaned up fully. All questions were answered with recommendations and zero pressure. I'd definitely recommend to consider GJ MacRae Foundation Repair to correct foundation wall leaks and improve the performance of your home.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing review in Milton

We've been using Gavin and Noreen for years and the MacRae's work has always been amazing. Gavin knows his stuff and is more than happy to give you different ideas or recommendations to help resolve the problem. He is always personable, respectful and professional. The team was very flexible with their schedule given the challenges we had co-ordinating permits. They did a fantastic job, as usual. I recommend Gavin to anyone who has foundation issues - you won't regret the choice.

Foundation wall replacement

Foundations review in Hamilton

GJ MacRae replaced a major part of the foundation in a century home I purchased. I was very happy with their initiative, communication, speed, and quality of the work done. They took the initiative of arranging the contract with the listing agent when the seller was dragging their feet. Due to the late start date, we didn't think a job of that size could possibly get done before closing, but they pulled it off. A few weeks later, I noticed a small leak after a major rainstorm, they assessed, repaired, and installed an interior weeping tile within a day. They do great work and they stand by it. Highly recommend.

Basement foundation repair

Foundations review in Mississauga

In 2007, I contacted GJ Macrae to estimate work for a basement leak. We decided to fix the single crack from the outside wall.
Years later we noticed a very minor leak from that same wall. I called them with my concern and with no hesitations the son came by, checked it out. He was very honourable and fixed it right away. It has been a few years now with quite a few heavy downpours, and it has held up perfectly.
Thank you to GJ Macrae Repairs
