Underpinning and basement lowering
Tony and his team helped us through our difficult basement underpinning with grace and perseverance without ever leaving us in the dark or without options. Other reviews mention all the things he does right at every job, so I'll focus on some of the unique experiences we had with our 100 year old house.
Our basement underpinning was likely Tony's hardest job to-date and he smartly handled removing our existing massive foundation, a house built on topsoil and fill, creating an even more massive foundation, and saving us from an inspector who was difficult to please. It was easy to change the contract when required and Tony was able to fix or improve all the small problems caused from previous old or shoddy work or just plain bad luck.
What luck we had - at one point the drawings fell into the 6' deep soil test pit with water at the bottom and Tony (after removing his hat) dove into the pit head first to rescue them, shouting "grab my feet!" We did and he rescued the plans and we all had a good laugh. That wasn't the first or the last time he saved the day.
Honest business of this calibre is a blessing when project schedules and budgets slip. Thanks Tony!
