Testimonials for Quality 1st Basement Systems

John lives in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. He was getting water in his basement and we were able to solve the problem for him. After installing WaterGuard, 1 SaniDry, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump, he is very happy with his new DRY basement!

After getting quotes from several companies, he found that Quality 1st was the most qualified company, because the technician was able to answer all his questions in a way that made perfect sense to him. They had the best solutions, their services and products were reasonably priced and the nationally-backed transferable lifetime warranty gave him extra assurance. Since having a full-perimeter drainage system and a powerful sump pump installed a year ago, the basement has remained dry through all sorts of wet weather, including some major storms. Charles is very happy with the results, and would highly recommend Quality 1st Basement Systems to anyone in NJ struggling with wet, leaky or flooding basements.

When Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast, Lisa E's finished basement in Middletown, NJ was flooded with over 6 inches of water. After dealing with the messy and costly cleanup process, Lisa decided to take every step necessary to prevent that from happening again. She began by calling a reputable and well-known local engineer who, after inspecting her basement, recommended an upgrade for the existing, failing sump pump and the installation of a full-perimeter drainage system inside the basement. Following the engineer's recommendation, Lisa proceeded to get quotes from four different local companies. One of the companies just didn't seem trustworthy, another was overpriced, and a third one had a very pushy salesperson, giving Lisa the impression that he cared more about making a sale than actually helping her solve her basement problems. Quality 1st Basement Systems was the fourth company to inspect and quote the job. The system design technician was very thorough in his inspection, very courteous and ready to answer all her questions. From that first contact, she knew she could trust Quality 1st to do a good job. She communicated her decision to the engineer and he was also quite pleased with her choice. The crews came on time, performed the job quickly and neatly, answering all Lisa's questions as they progressed. The basement has been bone dry ever since the job was completed, having survived some major storms, including Hurricane Sandy.

"My basement used to flood two to three times every year!" - says Michael C. from Eatontown, NJ. He often found himself scooping water off the basement floor and into the sump pit. After a couple of years dealing with this problem, Michael felt it was time to deal with it. That is when he decided to call Quality 1st Basement Systems for help. In this video h speaks about his experience as a customer, and his satisfaction with the service, products and results."It looks great down there! You go downstairs and not only is it bright but it is clean and the walls look great! There has been no flooding in my basement No regrets in having them do my work and I would highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for waterproofing in their basement.." - says Michael.

Mrs. H. is a very savvy homeowner. She will never hire any company to work on her home without first checking their references, licenses, ratings with the Better Business Bureau, and their overall reputation. That is exactly what she did when her basement flooded and she needed a company to fix it. After researching a few waterproofing contractors, she felt that Tom Roman’s Quality 1st  Basement Systems was the company to trust when she needed to fix her home’s wet basement problems, because of their great local reputation. Quality 1st installed an interior drainage system and a sump pump system that has its own battery-operated backup pump, which has been keeping her basement dry even in times of prolonged power outages. She is very happy with the results and with the work performed. “It was done expertly, and the follow up each year is very good.” – Mrs. H said.

Joe J. first heard about Quality 1st Basement Systems, searching the internet. But before he called  for help, he researched the company thoroughly over the web,  to make sure they were the right contractors for the job. Quality 1st waterproofed their basement walls, installed a full WaterGuard interior drainage system, and the exclusive TripleSafe Sump Pump System, with not one but two backup pumps, including a battery-operated unit to keep the basement dry in case of power outages.   Joe J. was truly impressed with the work performed, and the level of professionalism  and expertise demonstrated by the whole crew. He is also really satisfied with the results, because his basement has been dry ever since. Even more so when his waterproofing system and the TripleSafe were put to the ultimate test: hurricane Irene. While all his neighbors' basements were flooded, the TripleSafe kept his basement completely dry!

"Very happy! Everything is perfectly dry and the humidity is down. Wish I had done it sooner."

Tom R. first heard about Tom Roman’s Quality 1st Basement Systems through a neighbor who was very satisfied with the job performed by the company in his crawl space. Having crawl space problems of his own, Tom decided to give Quality 1st a call. “There doesn’t seem to be too many companies that really address crawl spaces. They accepted that challenge without a problem.” – said Tom, who also felt that the company had just the right products to address all this crawl space concerns. A drainage and sump pump system was installed to keep water from pooling under the house. The crawl space was then encapsulated and insulated to control moisture and prevent energy loss, making his home much more comfortable, especially in the wintertime. The sagging floors above the crawl space were stabilized and brought back to level with crawl space jacks. The work was performed quietly and in a timely manner, and the cleanup afterwards was very thorough. “Quality 1st Basement Systems promise a lot and they seem to back it up and deliver!” – concluded Tom.

Bill P.’s house in Staten Island had the typical, nightmarish crawl space: filled with water, infested with mold and terrible smells. That was until Tom Roman’s Quality 1st Basement Systems came and fixed his crawl space so effectively, Mr. P called it a “miracle.” “They were very quick, they were very neat, did a wonderful job and they were out of here in no time.” – he said.“They were very honest, very reliable, did a tremendous job, and the results were outstanding. It certainly added value to our home!”

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!

What an amazing experience from start to finish! The installers came exactly on the day and time promised. They were very polite and left our basement clean!  What a great company. We’ll definitely use them again.

I am very satisfied with Quality 1st Basement Systems. The installation team was excellent in every way. They were on time, professional and helpful during my wall anchor installation process. My salesman Kenny T. was great with helping me make a decision and his price fit well with my budget!

First came the phone call to 1st. The woman made an appointment and told me the name of the person who would be coming to provide me with an estimate and a recommendation. Then, a reminder phone call the day before.The representative was thoroughly professional, assessed the situation correctly and set a date for the repair to occur.The repair crew arrived on-time and finished up promptly. The foreman of the crew explained what has been done, and left the job in a workman-like manner - the worksite was cleaned up well.The fix worked. What more could one ask for?
