John, Austin, and Chris of Tar Heel Basement Systems did an awesome job on lifting our house, they were quick and professional an very nice guys. The one star is not on them it's from their office's communication with us, we couldn't contact the office and the office wouldn't contact us.

Jess W and Zack B just finished lifting a 6' x 8' concrete slab and stabilizing a much larger one that I hope will stop the leak that I am having in a basement wall. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and quite graciously willing to put up with me watching them do their work, which I found fascinating. If I ever need additional work done TarHeel is who I will call. I can't wait to powerwash once the caulk has dried.

I would Definitely recommend Tarheel basement systems to anyone. We had issues under our house that needed major attention. The team we had was Cameron, Nyjae, Hayden and Justin. They were amazing in that they kept us informed on everything they were doing and took time to explain to me any questions I had . They were very friendly and polite.
