I would like to share my experience in recently choosing Ken Peare and his company, Quality 1st basement systems, to conduct a foundation repair on my primary residence.
This all started back in September when my family and I began to realize that the garage frame entrance on the side of the house started to slope downwards. Unsure if it was a serious problem, I decided that we would do the repair during the upcoming spring figuring it was only cosmetic. Unfortunately, I could not have been more wrong. By October the entire right side of the house began to slope down, and the driveway started cracking and became uneven. After some investigating, we found that the gutter and pool drainage system were damaged and were not flowing water into the sewer system like they were designed, but under our home instead. After Identifying what the cause was, we needed a company to do the foundation repair. My family and I checked with multiple companies, including Quality 1st, to obtain the best solution and price. By far, Ken was able to provide the most intelligent and fairly priced solution to the issue we were having. He provided us with a detailed scope of the work broken down to exact dollar. It was a “no brainer” for us and we contracted Quality 1st to start the work as soon as the provided structural engineering and permits were ready. Within 30 days of the signed contract Quality 1st gathered all of the permits and plans necessary and began to repair our foundation. All of the workers were very neat and professional and the entire job was completed in under 1 week which was amazing. My home and the foundation is rests on are supported and more accurately level than they ever were. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and transparency that Ken Peare and his company displayed with my most valuable material possession. I would and will highly recommend Ken and Quality 1st basement systems to anyone, including friends and family, for any solutions they offer.

I am quite satisfied with the system installed by Quality 1st Basement Systems. I had been thinking about waterproofing my basement for a long time. My representative Rick did a fine job at explaining all of the products and my options.

I was very concerned about my home when I started to notice some vertical cracks and settling foundation in my below grade level garage. Quality 1st installed 8 Push Piers to lift my settling foundation and fix the problem. My sales rep Dan gave a good presentation and the installation team was very nice and hard working.

Our salesman Kenny was excellent. He knew his products and explained them in thoroughly at a level we could understand. The office staff was always very helpful and informative. They worked with me at every level and were pleasant whenever I spoke with them. The installation team were courteous and did a beautiful job. After cleanup, I couldn't even tell they were ever there!

I am very satisfied with the work completed in my basement by Quality 1st Basement Systems. My system design specialist Rick did an excellent job and was very helpful. The office staff was friendly and the installation crew worked very hard. Before choosing Quality 1st I did research on other waterproofing companies in NJ but they had a good price and were very professional.

Collin was great. He never pressured me. As soon as I spoke to Collin, I knew this is it. I wanted to protect my crawl space from water damage, and Collin was so informative, never made me feel uncomfortable which is why I hired Quality 1st Basement Systems to install the crawl space vapor barrier. The installation team was great and very clean

Very satisfied with the job. The design specialist was very professional, knowledgeable, clear concise + understood my specific problem. The Installation team was very professional, explained in detail each phase of the procedure. The new technology afforded less work and was a cleaner operation. The price point was within my budget.

Quality 1st Basements sent senior service technician Collin Peare on-site to my house today for an annual check-up and cleaning of a sump-pump system installed over 10 years ago by them. The system has worked without issue since installation, but performing an annual inspection is always a good idea and can bring up any issues not apparent to a home-owner.Collin arrived on time, and even called ahead to let me know an estimated time of arrival. He answered all my questions regarding the current status of the pumps, battery, and overall health of the equipment. He thoroughly inspected and cleaned the pumps and replaced the battery as well which was way overdue for care.Overall, I am happy with the service and will continue to utilizer their services and recommend them for crawl-space and sump pump solutions.

Totally honest!
I had some water issues in my basement so I called Quality 1st Basements. I was immediately impressed by how totally honest they were. They told me there was no water damage, but that there were several things I could do to prevent future damage. I told them to go ahead and do the work, and they did everything they promised they would do. They were very good at their jobs. I was very happy with them, and I would highly recommend them to everyone!

I am very satisfied with the work installed by Quality 1st Basement Systems! My inspector Rick was very thorough and professional and the installation crew led by Juan was competent and efficient. Before contacting Quality 1st I had been thinking about having my basement waterproofed for about a year and a half. I researched other companies but chose to go with them because of their knowledgeable inspector, positive customer reviews, and informative promotional package.
