Gio and Ryan were simply Great. Before starting anything, Ryan went over what was going to be done and walked me through the process before starting. I asked questions during the process, and both were knowledgeable and answered my questions so I could understand. My driveway looks great and very even. I like it!

He answered all of our questions and did a great job explaining everything to us.

He is very organized and used his expertise to help us with figure out options for a solution. I would highly recommend Chase for a home inspection. We enjoyed the time we spent with him.

I was really impressed with the quoting experience with Mark! He was friendly, thorough and offered me a few different solutions without feeling "salesy". Unfortunately, the potential foundation repairs were for a home that I was under contract to buy, but had to backout because the seller refused to lower the purchase price to compensate. However, based on the genuine experience with Mark, I'd recommend this company!

I had Jacob come out for an inspection after I purchased this property. He was friendly easy-going and just the type of sales person that I needed for this only negative side to all this is I wish that the 10% was a little pushed out further versus the same day, I think that’s kind of the downside of everything. However, his approach to fixing the situation measuring the walls figuring out everything was gonna flow through was great. I had zero issues directly with him. He was awesome great sales understanding and wasnt pushing things down my throat and somebody like me coming from sales. I don’t like the pushy sales man cause I was that.he didn’t really have an issue building great Rapport with me at all. And he was very truthful. He explained things very simply and easily although I did my resrarch to find out what my issues were so i had an idea of how things would go today, and was able to have a better idea/ plan for myself; he explained this is what we need to get done this is how our company does it. This is how we’re gonna do it. Also, I think what helped is he understood the scope of the work being a former foreman himself. I appreciate him coming out and this guy needs a raise or some more commission great dude great attitude, and great integrity, even better not a pushy sales man. Thank you jacob and thank you for being a man of integerity and honesty i appreciate it very, very much.

Caleb T was very informative and extremely polite. Spoke using understandable language, and explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend basement authority. They fixed my sump pump and drain problem 4 years ago and have kept up with me to make sure it is all working properly. Always a pleasure with their employees.

I started noticing my floor was sagging in my 125 year old home and was worried the foundation was compromised. Doug at Ohio Basement Authority came out and was very thorough with what needed to be done and walked me through my options. Once the permit was approved, the team completed the job in 3 days! The crew was knowledge and very nice. Highly recommend using Ohio Basement Authority!
