House Addition

Many thanks to Jamie and the team at Rock Bottom Underpinning for the excellent job done on our new addition foundation. They addressed any questions we had in simple terms and with clarity. Every aspect of the job was performed professionally with a focus on the detail. As well, they cleaned up the site each night and ensured the work site was protected. Would highly recommend this company.

We highly recommend "Rock Bottom Underpinning" company. They are a respectful, reliable and responsible team; committed to efficiency and quality. Working 6 days per week, they completed underpinning work for our basement upgrade on time and within budget.

Excellent service!

Underpinning and basement addition

From day one of our project, Rock Bottom Underpinning was incredible! After requesting a quote, we got a call back from Jamie within the same day. The quote was detailed, and very thoroughly outlined the scope of work that we were agreeing on. (Price was great too!!) Dion, Jamie, and the rest of the Rock Bottom team were very understanding with homeowners like my wife and I that weren’t very familiar with the whole underpinning process. We never felt like we were unaware of what was going on in the project. They dealt with everything from the permit process, to getting us in contact with a reputable engineer, to finally providing us with a 10/10, 8 Ft basement shell. We HIGHLY recommend Rock Bottom Underpinning if you are looking for the best underpinning company in the GTA- I can ensure you will not regret your decision!

Good Afternoon

Thank you for the very kind and thoughtful review, we enjoyed working alongside you and your wife, what wonderful customers! Yes, we here at Rock Bottom can take on a project right from the beginning stages. We can connect you with the appropriate architects/engineers, go through the permit process for you, and then complete the task at hand. Over the years, we have developed very strong relationships with industry leaders (structural engineers, architects, etc) to ensure all the project needs are taken care of. Thank you for considering us one of the best underpinning companies in the GTA- we pride ourselves when we receive compliments like these. Enjoy the new basement!!

Basement underpinning

I was very impressed with the work we recently had done by Rock Bottom Underpinning. Jamie and Dion were fantastic; they walked us through the entire process and were very quick to answer any questions that we had. They were very accommodating to the budget that we had set out and broke down the project costs clearly, so we understood exactly what we were paying for. Their crew was extremely professional and polite and did excellent work. Very honest businessmen and hard-working team. I would highly recommend to anyone who might be considering.

Basement underpinning

“I have been through many renovations in the past and have never experienced such great service! The team at Rock Bottom was always punctual and got the job done quick! They lowered my basement in just 4.5 weeks and it turned out great! 8FT CEILINGS!! I was referred to Rock Bottom by a friend of mine and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to work with people that cater to your needs!”

Full underpin of basement. New water service and sewer main and back foundation addition.

Rockbottom’s workmanship, customer service, team and overall final product was excellent! The project consisted of a full underpin of my existing basement, new water service and sewer main, and a large/complicated back addition. Dion and Jamie were always easily accessible and ensured the project ran efficiently and to budget. Overall I would highly recommend Rockbottom Underpinning Services to anyone looking for a reputable and honest underpinning company

Hi Naram

Thanks for the kind words! Rockbottom is committed to taking on other large projects just like this one. This specific back basement addition was a bit tricky due to tight property lines and access for dump trucks to the back was very narrow. Our main priority is giving our customers a 10-Star finished project that is on budget and on time! Thank you for the referral to our future customers! Goodluck with the rest of your reno!

Basement underpinning on century home

Rock Bottom was great, they are transparent with the costs and extra costs, they work closely with the structural engineer and were available to us for suggestions and questions. The in floor heating they installed was complemented by our heating contractor, so that's proof in and of itself! Would recommend.

Concrete basement

Made good on most of their promises initially. Good trouble shooting and problem solving abilities. They were able to complete to job quickly and came back to resolve small issues in a timely manner however once they received the full payment the did not return calls and promised to bring additional promotional materials but did not. The concrete did crack in multiple spots upon drying which I was told is likely to happen however they offered no advice or assistance and explained that it is not their field. There were some inconsistencies which I expected in an old building so I'd have to rate service as okay but falls short of great. I ended up contacting another concrete company that fixed everything for incredibly cheap.

Hi Iain

Thanks for the kind words! Hope your garage build is coming along nicely and ready to store your vehicle this winter! Yes, here at RockBottom Underpinning we always try to find the most efficient and cost effective solution when issues come up- we don't work any other way. We were originally planning to underpin the neighbors garage in order to complete the excavation- but due to some circumstances that came up we found a more efficient alternative (Helical Piles). RockBottom Underpinning completed all the excavation, foundation work, and slab for the new garage.

Thank you
