Ohio Basement Authority did a great job! They were friendly and helpful from the moment we contacted them until the job was finished. We received a quote and explanation from Caleb that explained the project in detail. Caden and Serg did an excellent job on the repair work raising our porch and walkway. Thank you for a great job and experience.

Today, Chase Clemens and Justin Bankcroft thoroughly inspected my house for structural concerns. (They were almost at my house for three hours.) I cannot begin to thank them enough for their knowledge, integrity and ethics. Another company gave me an estimate of almost $29,000 and Chase said that none of that work needed to be done. Chase and Justin identified the problem (my roof) and assured me it was not a problem with the house structure itself. Not only did they save me an enormous amount of money, but they restored my faith in people. There are ethical professionals in this world and they are certainly two of them. Both of these men were so professional and knowledgeable, I am beyond grateful. I feel very blessed.

Richard, Donte, & Javaun did an excellent job installing the walls and floor. They had to dig a lot of rocks out of the dirt which we were surprised to see and some of them were really large. It was above and beyond the call of duty!

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.

Richard, Donte, Javaun did a great job. Richard, the Forman, made sure to see if I had any questions about the product and job from start to finish. You can't really see from the photos but they built up the dirt after they were done to help keep it from washing away. I would definitely recommend.

I had a foundation repair 2 years ago. I had an annual follow up with Matthew Workman and he did an excellent job reviewing the home and measuring throughout the house to evaluate for any new movement to the floor and foundation and he was very knowledgeable.

Very friendly when I called in. Scheduled fee estimate although I wasn’t sure they did what I needed. Even Eakle showed up at scheduled time. Immediately realized I didn’t currently need their services. I showed him what my problem was, and he actually with the use of one little tool fixed my problem perfectly on all five window wells. He was such a friendly guy great customer service. I would highly highly recommend using them if you would ever need waterproofing cement, leveling, or any other other other services I would definitely give them a call. I believe he is out of the Kent office. I’m not sure he did have a 216 area code exchange, he did a fabulous job if I ever need any waterproofing or here of anybody that needs it I would definitely tell him to call these people

Ricky, Maurice and Jason did a good job with the basement and putting in the sump pump. They cleaned up after themselves. There was an issue with the water line and they scheduled the appointment to have it fixed.

Vanessa from the Ohio Basement Authority assessed my basement experiencing water intrusion. She and her colleague spent 2 hours with me discussing the issue and how they would address it. I felt satisfied with their knowledge, expertise, and their sales professionalism. Ultimately we decided to patch the crack with another company, because the Basement Authority’s solution was quite pricey. We plan to call Vanessa and Ohio Basement Authority if the problem persists post patch job.
