Testimonials for Quality 1st Basement Systems

On February 6, 2018, Quality 1st completely renovated the crawl space in our summer house in Normandy Beach, NJ. Working with you to learn what to do was a very positive experience. You gave me good advice about material, dehumidifiers, etc., but mostly you helped me to understand how humidity ruins crawl spaces. Thanks to you, we went ahead with encapsulation, dehumidification, and door replacement. The team leader, Jonathan, was easy to work with and responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend you and Quality 1st to anyone who is considering “saving” his or her crawl space.   Thank you again, Anthony L. Panico

When we bought this home, it was a dry period at the end of the summer and our inspection noted water stains on the exposed footing in one of our crawl spaces. He suggested it was a grading issue which we addressed with a landscaping company. However that didn’t alleviate the puddles forming after heavy rains in the crawl space. I realized we would have to water proof it so that I could get piece of mind. I called in 3 companies, 2 wanted to do French drains inside leading to a sump pump. A method I was familiar with from a prior basement waterproofing. I was very skeptical when Jeff Nero a design consultant for Quality 1st came to explain the encapsulation concept of water control. Jeff got into the space and looked over every area of my concern, coming up with a suggested solution. After answering all of my concerns and questions, Jeff had convinced me this was what i needed for my problem. I would be encapsulating the space with their system AND they would be insulating the entire space to an R11 value. Before water proofing became an issue this insulation was going to be a separate project and done by another company; but was all part of the Quality 1st crawl space system. Not only did I do that space but also did the other crawl space that didn't have water but was in need of insulation and seal up. It was prepared the same as the other area but without a sump pump. If water ever got into that space all we would need is to have them install the pump. 2 spaces handled for less than the cost of one space with French drains. I was AMAZED! The crew showed up on time, prepared the area in the basement for dust protection and went to work on the 2 areas simultaneously. By 4:30 they were finished and wow, did those crawl spaces look clean, bright and well insulated. This encapsulation method has allowed me to open up the crawl spaces to the rest of the basement to allow them to become the same temperature as the main basement area. The floors above those areas are warmer making the rooms warmer. Because of this waterproofing method I don’t feel like an obsessed man constantly looking at accumulating water and you know how that feels if you are dealing with water.I’d recommend their system for crawl spaces and am considering their patented basement finishing system too.

Quality 1st did an excellent job in my crawlspace. I had over two feet of water flood my crawlspace during hurricane Sandy and I also had moisture issues. When I called for my free estimate the office staff was very professional and willing to help. They had done work for my local church so I felt like I could trust them. My inspector Nick explained everything and answered all of my questions. He gave a great presentation and left a reasonable price quote. When it came down to having the work installed the crew was very courteous, professional, neat, and they worked quickly. The crew led by Jesus was able to transform my crawlspace in just one day!

I am extremely pleased with the work completed on my crawlspace. After being flooded four times in the past I knew that it was time to contact the professionals. After doing some research I came across Quality 1st Basement Systems and liked the positive reviews that I read on Angie's List. My initial call with the office staff was professional and efficient, all of my questions were answered and I was able to set a free estimate appointment. My inspector Rick was courteous, thorough, and thoughtful. When it came down to getting the work done and having my crawlspace waterproofed the installation crew was wonderful and not at all intrusive. In the end I chose Quality 1st because they seemed to be very professional and experienced as a company.

I've used Quality 1st for both my basement and crawlspace! I am very pleased with the outcome, my salesman John was very good at solving all of my problems. The installation teams lead by Juan and Victor were excellent and very professional. Both the Basement Science and Crawlspace book are so helpful they explained everything!

Luis Aguirre & his men were professional & went above and beyond to make sure my crawl space was sealed off to its entirety. Having them help me out with my project was the best decision we made. Thank you!

We are so happy with our crawlspace.  We have been fighting a mold and water problem and i think we finally solved it!!

I needed help with my crawl space right away, and chose Quality 1st because their salesman was fantastic. His courteous and helpful presentation is why I chose them over other companies.

The workers were very competent and did an excellent job.

I first heard about Quality 1st through the yellowpages looking to fix the horizontal cracks on my basement walls. I am well satisfied with the work completed by Quality 1st Dan M. was very knowledgeable and the cost was within my budget. The wall anchors were able to stabilize the wall and not allow for any further horizontal cracking.

Quality 1st did an excellent foundation repair and push pier installation for our settling foundation. Jeff Nero was our sales representative, who was very knowledgeable and explained thoroughly what needed to be done. When it came time for installation, our senior foreman was Jonathan Neira. He was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and reassuring, providing daily updates on progress. Jonathan and his crew went above and beyond with installation of push piers, doing fantastic daily work that required a lot of physical labor. They also did an excellent job of cleanup post-installation. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Quality 1st and the above mentioned foreman and crew for any work you need to have done!
