Complex Basement Underpinning

This was a 2+ feet basement underpinning. I cannot say enough good things about Daniel and Stephen and the rest of their crew. This was a technically complex and difficult job due to a number of annoying factors. The guys took charge from the beginning and organized the architect, the engineer, and invested a lot of time into the planning stage. What I loved about them:

Most important, quality of the work. The job was done perfectly and on schedule. I love my new beautiful 8' basement.

Underpinning Project

Daniel, Stephen and their crew were incredible. Underpinning is a big job! I quoted 4 people for the job and Daniel had a fair price and gave me the most confidence (by a LONG WAY). They executed with a ton of professionalism but more importantly they were really respectful of us and our neighbours. They had all the required safety gear on site, they brought their own on-site toilet and they CLEANED THE FLOORS WHEN THEY LEFT. Really above and beyond! “

The ONLY underpinners to use!

We initially hired the Underpinners to carry out a 3’ underpinning and a rear addition in the Yonge and Eglington area. Very soon into the project, we realized that the current house (actually the whole block) was sitting on an old creek that was infilled by the city over 100 years ago. The house had experienced settlement over the years which resulted in severe cracking in the walls. The Underpinners brought a wealth of knowledge to the table from prior experienced and dealt with both the soilread more

Underpinning Excellence

Flush Underpinning of 3 Storey Beach Semi. I have worked with many contractors over the years. The Underpinners and Daniel are without a doubt the best Contractors of any type I have ever worked with. They finished the job early. They were kind and considerate throughout. The job site was clean. They answered every question I had. Every one of the tradespeople onsite treated my home as if it was their own. They were efficient and knowledgable. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of theirread more

Shoring, Underpinning, Foundation, Formwork

I purchased a property in the Harbord Pillage area that included an old Victorian and detached legal-non-conforming coach house. Both houses had tremendous structural limitations and deficiencies and were in a complete state of disrepair.

The brick foundation of the front Victorian was only 1 coarse thick and bowing inwards due to lateral pressure. The biggest challenge for replacing the foundation of the front house was shoring and supporting the existing upper two levels of the house,read more

Underpinning for Major Renovation

We were undertaking a major renovation that included a second storey addition. Before we could do anything, however, we needed to get our foundation underpinned, the basement lowered, and all of the drains replaced. It was by far the most significant portion of the entire renovation, and I was very anxious about finding a capable contractor. Daniel at The Underpinners Inc. immediately put me at ease and it quickly became apparent that his crew was competent, experienced, and perfectly suitedread more

Toronto townhouse underpinning

I recently worked with The Underpinners on the underpinning of a small townhouse in downtown Toronto. While initially worried about the nature of the project (attached on both sides), I was definitely glad we brought them in.

The quote I received from them was lower than another company and after meeting Daniel, I was confident this was the company I wanted to work with. The final work came in at nearly exactly what they'd quoted me, and was completed quickly (all in all, about 6 weeks).read more

Basement Underpinning and Liner Walls

My family and I were looking to gain more livable space, so we decided to dig out and finish our 100+ year old home's basement. We luckily chose The Underpinners Inc. for the underpinning work.
I'm more than satisfied with Daniel, Stephen and the entire team's work. They managed my expectations throughout, were extremely responsive to all of my communications and most importantly, their work was outstanding. I even had subsequent contractors that worked on finishing the basement comment on howread more

Underpinning a house with a river under it

Daniel and Steven just completed an incredibly difficult job for us. We started with bad drawings from our engineer that Daniel identified. After commencing digging we discovered that our house was built on a river that the city filled in 115 years ago meaning that we needed to completly change our approach.

Daniel worked with our new engineers to come up with a new solution that allows us to get as much depth as possible with our compromised soil conditions.

We ended up hiring a helical piersread more

Excavation, Underpinning & Waterproofing

After meeting with and getting quotes from a few different underpinning companies, we selected The Underpinners to excavate, underpin and waterproof our basement. We had never done any major renovations on our house, so our biggest fear about undertaking this project was how it was going to impact our home life – whether it be noise, dust, or just the general unease of having total strangers working in our home. Throughout the project, we never once felt uncomfortable or inconvenienced.
