Homeowner Reviews

“Mr Strong came in after hours to assess plumbing, working closely with all-eco, I was most pleased”

“Rodger was very knowledgeable and courteous when working on my basement. He explained everything to me”

“All personnel I worked with were great!”

“Crew is nice”

“Project timeline and completion.”

“Red, the leader of the work crew. He did a great job and made sure things were done correctly”

“The workers did a great job. My basement used to flood whenever there was heavy rain. Since waterproofing, there is no more flooding, and I breathe easier whenever it rains.”

“Inspection felt like a high-pressure sell. Inspector asked our professions before giving the quote. We were scheduled to begin on a Monday, but they didn't show, so I called them and it turned out that had the wrong phone number for me and couldn't confirm the appointment. That would've been an appropriate excuse if they hadn't had a confirmed email address for me from which I had signed paperwork previously. The air vents in the basement were not covered when jackhammering the concrete, so there was a layer of fine dust all over my house, even up to the second floor. The basement was not cleaned after the job was complete (i.e. the tarps are still hung, there is dust and small chunks of debris everywhere, carpet was not folded back into place).”

“Very professional and thorough on estimate and pre-installation information. Installers were very informative when asked about the work and did a great job of not only installing the vapor shield but also cleaning up afterwards. The explanation at the end of the work on care and maintenance was also clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for crawl space encapsulation.”

“From the first call through the completion of the work, great experience with Value Dry! If anyone has the unfortunate need to waterproof their house, I would highly recommend Value Dry for the job!”

“Value Dry seemed to be concerned with my needs, took time to inspect what I needed and explained in full detail what was causing my problems. Stuff like that shows real professionalism and that it's a company that values it's customers.”

“In person and over the phone customer service is top quality. Caring and professional works.”

“Sales person was professional and knowledgeable installation crew was on time and professional. Work was high quality.”

“danny and rj outstanding service”

“Chris and Mike Kuper”

“Value Dry resolved the water issue in our basement quickly and professionally. The crew took care of our property and completed the job in good time. We had other quotes from other companies but Value Dry came in much lower and understood the issue and did a detailed inspection.”

“I would like to thank the entire company for all they did with our project. You ALL are simply amazing. Great people and exceptional work.”

“Value Dry Waterproofing is always timely and provides good quality service.”

“Quality”

“They met and exceeded my expectations in the initial meeting with the salesperson and the initial inspection and review.”

“The work they did was great, and so far I've had no issues.”

“There were no areas where they met or exceeded my expectations.”

“I would like to recognize the salesperson and the work crew for their exceptional service! The work crew was efficient; they were in and out in less than a day, and no real complaints for a real messy job!”

“The work was very neat, and I loved the work they did.”

“I would like to recognize the salesperson and the lead on the project.”

“They were fast.”

“Better price than competitors”

“Steve”

“Steve Anderson”

“They all performed beautifully.”

“Steve came out at 6pm to give us an estimate, he then took his time to explain everything to us. When we had questions he took the time to answer them either by phone or email. He also came out to the house for a second time to answer one of our questions.”

“I had a leaking basement window they failed to properly measure it which caused months of delay because they had to order a custom part to fit that wasn?t needed. They could?ve gone to Home Depot which they eventually did to buy the proper sized part”

“They did an excellent job. It was better than expected. It was clean, neat, and fast.”

“Ty the salesman...very knowledgeable and helped me to understand the entire process and know what questions to ask other companies.”

“I?ve had other companies out before. Value Dry was the first one to resolve the issue!”

“Joon yu”

“The Company performed tremendously challenging construction work and we believe the water problems have been corrected. They were careful, considerate and completed the task in the week assigned.”

“Danny is a Rock star! Mike Greene last but not least Shad !!!!”

“I would only recommend if their basement is unfinished. There was little regard for my furnishings and carpets”

“Britney Spears was a great salesperson. the crew needs training to protect the environment. Dust was EVERYWHERE - beyond the room affected. poor air control. The team also didnt wear proper ventilation, nor was there proper process to pull out "blown-in" insulation. Incredible loss of control and disaster. We had to have another company clear air, clean, and then have it cleaned 2 more times. disaster!! the company's compensation of about $300 for the damage did not nearly cover the problem. I can not recommend them to do work INSIDE of anyone's living space given our experience. I should not pay near full price...but they really didnt do much to make us feel that they understood how bad it was. I expected a meaning recognition for the damage they caused.”

“Price was in line or better than other bids. Work was all well done despite some challenging conditions. Crews were all friendly and knowledgeable.”

“The lead technician on my last visit provided exceptional service.”

“Steve Anderson for sure and Roger Agbor and also the gentleman who coordinated the work. Sorry I forgot his name!”

“I gave 5 stars across the board, so they did a fantastic job.”

“They went above and beyond, they exceeded my expectations.”

“They were courteous, on time, and professional.”

“The foreman on site and the salesman should both be recognized for their exceptional service.”

“I would like to recognize the representative for his exceptional service.”

“No one to recognize.”

“The timeframe met our expectations. I know they finished sooner than we thought, so we were happy about that.”

“I would like to recognize Ty.”

“They met my expectations in completing the project.”

“Was satisfied with the work done...”
