Customer Testimonial from Elizabeth F. in Bradley Beach, NJ

Pleasantly satisfied!

 We cannot say enough good things about Quality 1st Basements! I never submit business reviews but Quality 1st deserves recognition for its fantastic work. We have been extremely satisfied with large projects they undertook for us at three different houses. Everything they've done has been very well done. We get good workmanship from Quality 1st. The first house they worked on for us in Central Jersey involved a wet basement. It needed a French drain and a sump pump. When the crew got into the crawlspace, they discovered that cats had made that area their litter box for an unknown number of years. The had to rip out all the filthy, smelly insulation before starting the job. I kept apologizing because I was clueless about the cat situation but they stayed cheerful and focused on the job. The crew was so good I specifically requested them for our next job. The second house Quality 1st worked on was at the Jersey Shore. It had been pummeled by storms over the years in a location two and a half blocks from the beach. But it was standing strong on a foundation of cinder blocks and shims that were the norm before building codes existed. When we went to sell this hundred-year-old beach house, we were annihilated by the buyer's inspection report with at least twenty pages of necessary corrective measures for the foundation. That sale didn't go through but we knew the work had to be done for the ultimate buyer, and also because all these reports become public information. So we called Quality 1st Basements for the job. I was terrified to have them working in the shallow crawlspace but down they went. They jacked the whole house up to make the necessary corrections. The job was done so professionally and thoroughly that the house sold immediately. That was a huge plus for us. We were grateful for the fantastic job done by Quality 1st. The next house we hired them we asked again for the same crew. My daughter bought another hundred-year-old Bradley Beach house that needed a sump pump. Quality 1st also put in a floor and shored up the beams in the front house basement. The back house will need a french drain eventually when they get the money. This work isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The salesmen at Quality 1st aren't pushy. They set out the job costs and leave it up to the customer to move forward or not. But you get good work. Everything they've done for us has been done very well and we are extremely satisfied.
