Crack in Home Foundation

Dave was very responsive to my request for a polyurethane foam injection of a vertical crack in my home foundation. Other companies just never responded? He quickly gave me an estimate based on an e-mail pic. I said OK.

A member of Dave's team arrived at the projected time, bang on schedule. He worked carefully for more than an hour to get that crack fixed, looking inside and outside to see if the foam was penetrating the 8" wall. It was indeed for which I thank him. I now feel comfortable heading towards the winter.

Criticisms? The team member was here until 7:00pm and probably missed dinner with his family! But that's my fault asking for such prompt and excellent service!

I'm saying 10/10 for

I do recommend this company very highly.

Crack in foundation at back of house

We had a large crack in the back foundation of our house mainly due the collapse of the ground because of a couple of large trees. This also caused our back deck to drop almost 6 inches from one side to the other. Dave's crew did the necessary repairs and also leveled our deck at no extra charge. Not only that but he got us a new thermostat at no charge when ours was damaged at the time our AC unit at the back was moved due to the excavations. I would strongly recommend Dave Marcotte Foundations to anyone!

Foundation crack repair

Everyone working for Dave Marcotte Foundations (including Dave himself), are extremely professional, hard working and very good at what they do.

Dave goes the extra mile to make sure the client truly understands the scope of the problem and all the pros and cons to the proposed solutions.

His rates are very competitive and the workmanship is not comprimised.

I hope I don't need to use their services again, but if I ever run into foundation issues again, I will only deal with Dave Marcotte.

Major foundation repair

Dave and his crew arrived on site right on time. And things were all up hill from there. The job involved significant repairs to the cinder block foundation of our home. One large wall and two smaller walls were completely rebuilt. And two additonal walls were repaired and water-proofed. I was on site for most of the work. The guys were all friendly, respectful and hard working. Dave, the boss, was always there supervising and leading the effort. I had many questions and all were answered to my satisfaction - confidently and clearly. As can be imagined, on a job this large, with the damaged walls mostly under the surface, unexpected issues arose. Fortunately for us, Dave's experience and ingenuity meant that the positive suprises out-weighed the negative, and the final invoice was slightly (percentage wise) lower than the original agreement.
So I would not hesitate to recommend Dave Marcotte Foundations or to call on Dave and his crew (Shane, George and the others) again. Although, that is a call I hope I won't neeed to make!

Horizon and Vertical foundation cracks

We had both vertical cracks and a 9ft horizon crack in our basement walls which Dave came and inspected. What he explained was going to need to be done and what he provided in the quote were exactly the same and the quote was with us with a couple of days. Dave and his team turned up in late April on time and on the day he said he would despite the snow. He and his team were knowledgeable, polite and hard working. As my husband and I were not at home when they left on the first day, he emailed me that night to let me know how every things had gone – something that was very reassuring. Thank you Dave for making my basement dry again – I’ve been singing your praise ever since.

He did what he said he would do and was on budget. The work was done quickly and he was available for questions before, during and after the job.

I strongly recommend his work.

Foundation crack repair

We were very happy with the work and information Dave provided us regarding the crack in our foundation and shifting/settling of our house. He offered a reasonable and sensible solution to our problem where other companies were quoting on work that would have been unnecessary. His work was done on time and as quoted. The crew was efficient, polite, and left our property neat and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave Marcotte to anyone needing foundation work.

Repair of block foundation of standalone garage.

The project came in on time and under budget. Dave was extremely professional throughout the entire process and offered proactive advice when necessary. His crew was responsive, dependable, capable and friendly. It was a positive experience overall.

exterior crack repair in two locations

Dave Marcotte's crew is a class act. Last fall we got several estimates for two cracks that leaked occasionally and needed repairing. Dave's company was not the cheapest, but it was the most cost effective for the work that needed to be done and he was less than half what some of the big name companies were charging. At a time when I struggled to even get someone on the phone, Dave came out, explained his procedure and why the cracks needed to be repaired from the outside (not the inside, like the cheaper quotes said...). This spring we decided to go ahead with the repairs, which were completed within two weeks. Dave's crew was polite, clean, and hard working. They went above and beyond the call of duty, and I would recommend them to anyone. Kudos.

Foundation waterproofing membrane and weeping tile

We discovered a wet basement problem at our home last summer and decided to install weeping tile and waterproofing membrane on all four sides of our home.

We opted to go with Dave Marcotte and would highly recommend him to anyone requiring foundation work on their home. Frankly, we would recommend him as a general contractor as well (as he has an excellent depth and breadth of knowledge and experience in the construction business) but we believe that he now specializes almost exclusively on foundation projects.

Dave Marcotte is one of the most knowledgeable and reliable contractors that we have had the pleasure of working with. He certainly tries to go the extra mile and is incredibly service oriented. We never needed to chase him down for updates on our project as he was often quick to pick up the phone and touch base with us as needed.

Not only was the Dave Marcotte team an incredibly tidy and courteous crew, but they were quick workers that paid attention to detail. Unbelievably, they were in and out of here in under two weeks, leaving our decks, walkways, and landscaping in better shape than before they started their work.

We couldn't be more pleased with Dave's work and our sentiment is shared by our neighbours as well. We have had at least four different neighbours comment on how impressed they with the professionalism that Dave and his team showed while working on our property.

We will certainly be recommending Dave Marcotte to friends and neighbours for many years to come.
