Waterproofing

I recently hired City Wide Group Inc. to do waterproofing in my basement.They were super fast and professional. They did extra work beyond the scope of our contract with no extra cost to me. Their service was superior and the work was beyond my expectation. Most importantly, this company has a "moral concience"; their employees stay with them for 30 years which tells me City Wide treat thier employees well. I recommended them to my friends. They are the best of the best. Cris (owner) please accept my sincerest thanks and gratitude for a job well done.

Underpinning the house for a habitable basement.

Best decision made. This is a huge undertaking. Underpinning is a type of job not to be given to anyone. Choose very carefully! City wide was prompt, gave a timely quote, started when promised, presented costs for additional work I requested during the job. There were no surprises in the end. The crew that worked with us treated our family and home with utmost respect, got the job done right and well beyond expectations. Issues come up during a job of this magnitude, City Wide are great problem solvers, they are all gentlemen and I would recommend them to you. City Wide is as professional as they come. They have the proper underpinning insurance and carry all the proper credentials. Pricing is a tad more but you get what you pay for. I also requested additional work outside of the contract along the way. Radiant floor heating, furnace installation and some needed plumbing. Well tackled. Our family thought moving was our only option for more space, we did not want to build an addition because we love our garden. MLS Listing fees and percentages coupled with the land transfer tax would add up to more than this job cost. It made sense to have this project completed. Well worth the investment! Thanks Chris and Harry and all the gents on the crew. If you think I am gushing... I am... I just know too many people with absolute horror stories of underpinning gone wrong. Good luck!
ps. great warranty too!

waterproofing basement

CityWide Group waterproofed my leaking foundation this past month. Chris gave me a fair quote and had one of the crews start work that same week. The crew was very polite, and most important to me they kept things very clean. We have had a few good rain storms since and the basement is bone dry! I will happily recommend this company experiencing a wet basement like mine. Thanks.

Underpinning and waterproofing

As a CEA ( CerTified Energy Auditor)and Home Inspector I had the possibility to see a work done by this company in the basement of a client.
I was very well impressed and I made the decision to hire them to make the underpinning of my basement.
The job just has been finished and honestly that has been amazing!!
Harry and Chris are very professional and the work team they have is very qualified to do these kind of jobs.
I will recommend City Wide to my clients in the future. I think they are the right people for these difficult jobs.

Underpinning Basement

Harry and Chris lined up everything very well for our basement underpinning. Helped us find good subs for other work, and were overall very easy to deal with.

The crew worked tirelessly and the job was completed on time.

Will recommend, and will use them in my own business when I can.

Thanks Guys

Waterproofing Foundation

CityWide undertook at a contract my residence. They waterproofed 3 sides of my home, which I am totally happy with. They completed this job to my total satisfaction within 5 working days. My property was left very clean and tidy considering the undertaking. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to have a job like this executed effectively and efficiently.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Many contractors and waterproofing companies refuse to do this type of work during the winter months. CityWide was the only one of 3 companies I called able to start work in the winter to fix the problem before it caused any further damage to my finished basement.

Basement lowering

I am a General Contractor myself, so am quite critical of others in the industry. Prior to engaging City Wide I interviewed 2 other small residential contractors. Both provided quotes that were completely unreasonable, and totally unegotiable. Then I met Harry. He knows his stuff, he is quick, efficient, client-satisfaction centric, and his crew is exceptionally respectful of the fact that they are working in a house that people are living in. The job was cleaned every day, and the site was very safe.
Through the process there were a couple of changes. Harry and I negotiated completely reasonable and amicable terms on the changes and the job was completed in record time. Start to finish - 9 days.
Harry is a contractor's contractor and I would recommend his company to anyone. Don't take the chance on the guy with no insurance and a promise of doing the work for 10K. You will be sorely disappointed.....not to mention, your house may fall down.

waterproof basement

City wide was a very competitive quote amongst all of the businesses we contacted, and the job was done efficiently and with great speed.

the clean up was also excellent and the crew was friendly and normal.

Communication issues were a little bit wonky, but after several efforts we got things done. Recomended for waterproofing.

Waterproofing Basement

CityWide has just completed waterproofing job. In the past I have had a number of contractors do similar work for me on similar homes. None can compare to the timely and professionalism of work completed around my entire home. My property looks better then when they started. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who has an interest in taking on future waterproofing jobs.

Waterproofing Wet Basement

I had originally from my sister, who hired them to lower her basement. I decided to contact them to estimate my waterproofing problem. They showed up on time, and presented me with a reasonable quote so I gave them the go ahead.

They were bookin approx. 2 weeks out, and showed up on the date outlined in the contract and commenced work the same morning. I can not say one single bad thing about the company or the work they had completed. They tarped over everything, kept me informed as to what they were doing, and stored their tools neatly every night. At the end of the job they did an excellent clean up and I have not had any water in my basement since.
