Hollis was the representative who walked the property and detailed the issues. Many issues beyond what I understood to be the problem I called to address. He was professional and did a good job advising me on what problems I had. OBA has a pretty good setup of information to explain why things settled, and his their project can fix the problem. I did sign with them for work to be done.

Caleb Watkins came out and quoted some work at my house. He provided very honest and open feedback, I wish every salesperson in all industries treated their customers with as much dignity and respect as Caleb did reviewing my job.

Daniel,Jon,and Kyle showed up to redo trench drain. This is the fourth crew to do work for us. The five stars are for the professionalism and way they handled the job, not for Basauth. Poor management and lack of follow-up. This crew rectified a couple small issues other than the shitty drain work. Again if you used these guys as examples of good work ethic and doing the best job that they can with limited resources you might not have customers like me seriously questioning your business ethics and practices.

Great company. They are on top of everything. They do excellent work,in and out no issues. They stand by their warranties and their annual service is no joke. If you have a problem, or may have one soon They let you know and it's either taken care of that day or the servicer will actually write you up a quote on the spot for new work.

Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the work we needed and the associated costs. He came to our home, took the time to have a thorough conversation with us, and answered every question we had. He’s genuine, professional, and truly seems to care about both our home and making sure the foundation work is done right. I would absolutely recommend him and the company to anyone looking for a quote!

Chelsa came out, did a very thorough inspection, and gave an estimate on replacing a rotten sill plate. Iran,Chris, and Zach came the next week right on time, they were very polite and professional and did a great job. I do feel the price I paid was a bit high for a 3 hour repair and $150 in lumber, but the people were great.

Had OBA waterproof the basement previously. Reached out to Mark Overmyer concerning a crack I noticed outside in the foundation. He was quick to follow up and came by a couple days later to take measurements and assess. Really friendly and helpful experience. Thank you again Mark!

I recently hired this company to install two basement egress windows in one of my rental properties, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the first call, they were super quick to respond—got back to me right away, answered all my questions, and scheduled everything efficiently without any hassle. The team that came out was incredibly professional: polite, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with egress installations. They did a fantastic job on both windows—clean cuts, solid work around the foundation, great attention to detail, and they left the site spotless when they were done. The new windows look perfect, meet code, and add real value (and safety!) to the rental. If you’re a landlord or homeowner needing egress windows, I highly recommend them. Fast, professional, and top-quality work. Will definitely use them again!
