Santiago identified himself before he entered the house. He was neat and clean and well groomed. He was on time as promised. It was a pleasure to have him in our home.
By Katrina
Over all I am very happy with the job done. the crew was great and explained things along the way. Job was done on time and I cried because I was so happy that I could finally close the doors in my house. May I never have to call for your services again but if I do need anything you will be first on the list to call. Thank you so much
By DAVID
I needed structural repair in my crawl space and chose Quality 1st Basement Systems because I believed their SmartJack system was exactly what I needed to address my problem. I was very happy with the salesperson and the no pressure sales presentation. The install crew were prompt, professional, and very hard-working. They politely answered all my questions and cleaned up the job site when they finished. I am very happy with the work that was done.
By James
I am very happy with the work that you have done. I will recommend you to my family and friends.
By Rich
Please have someone contact us to arrange a follow-up visit and for a referral, as we have a neighbor who is interested in your product and services. In closing, Octavio did a GREAT job, and considering he had to do it by himself, it was even more impressive! Please thank Octavio for us!
By Michael
Quality first was very friendly, efficient and delivered exactly what was promised. The office staff and salesperson were knowledgeable and friendly. The crew worked very hard and did a great job in cleaning up before leaving. I'm waiting for the first rainfall to see the items I had corrected in action, but feel confident my basement will be dry.
By Paula
Jesus and his crew were just amazing. They were so efficient. Jesus explained what they were doing each step of the process. I can't say enough about their work. They worked their butts off.
By Benny
Overall, I am very satisfied with your service. I was pleased with the salesperson and their presentation and felt they had a good understanding of the work that needed to be done. Your cost was a bit higher than I would of liked, so you are not the most cost effecient company however, if the service corrects my issue I will have no complaints. With regards to installation and clean up, the crew that came to my house was great. They were fantastic from an installation perspective. They were very courteous and respectful and worked quickly to get the job done in one day. The clean up could of been better. Overall, it was fine. At the end of the day, this is a messy job that needs to be done and carrying buckets of dirt from my basement outside is not an easy job. However, my floor on the first floor could of been covered better and when carrying the buckets they banged into my trim and walls on the first floor a few times causing some scratches. Overall, I am very satisfied with the job done. Of course, the real test will be when we get a heavy rain storm, if there is no water in my basement you can consider me 100% satisfied. If there is water however, I will be very disappointed. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.
By Kenneth
This was a great experience from the beginning to the end everything was just perfect from the great salesman Vaughn To the crew that installed the products you just can't go wrong!! Thank you for my dry basement!!

By Richard
Yours is one of the very best companies that we have had do work in our home. We would recommend you to anybody and would call upon you again should we have more problems with our basement.
By Leila
everyone did a great job at what they were assigned to do. The information sent prior to the visit by the sales rep. was worth the read. I learned much from that book and did have a much better feeling of security and understanding after reading the book. A must for all, prior to appointment with sales rep. The assistance of the book helped me make better decisions, ask better questions at the time of the interview. Sales person was very knowledgable about your products, what would be best for my paticular situation. Had lots of experience, assured me all those working for quality first basement systems, must take the mandatory training. You do not hire subcontractors..wonderful to know. I am so tired of that. I was provided with cell numbers, email addresses and what to expect comments from all involved. The office staff knew just where to direct my calls and did so promptly. The installation crew were, professional, polite and patient with helping me to understand how and why all the products I purchased were suited to my needs. I liked the one on one service; however, I did and do not like being sent a questionaire asking me if I would like to speak to the contractor prior to the installation...I did not send this back, but did call. Of course I wanted to speak to the installer. I was investing in a system that was going to save me much security in knowing I would no longer have to be worried about my floors buckling, the sub pump not working, having to deal with a flooded yard, having the water that was discharged from the side of my house, and running right back into the crawl space, not to mention in the spring an fall how wet my floors became because of the moisture in my crawl space. I cannot wait for the next heavy rain to see how the system works and I just love that very quiet sub-pump, yeap, I think Q first and I will have a good relationship.

There is no water in the basement!!!! OMG!! The final product of the job was great, I did not see the work getting done but my tenants says there was no problems.
Larry O.

I had a sinking cement foundation that was supporting a 10 x 13-foot shed in my backyard. The Q 1st technicians were able to strategically inject PolyLevel underneath the cement slab to level out my shed. The communication was excellent throughout the process and the technicians were determined to provide satisfaction. The 5-year transferrable warranty added that extra security. A job well done by Q1 Basements!
Anna O.

The installation team showed up on time and the foremen were very professional. They were efficient and completed the job quickly.
Deborah F.

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 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.

    Pool Patio Leveled in Pennsville, NJ

    This homeowner in Pennsville, New Jersey noticed their pool patio was beginning to sink and become unlevel. This happens because the soil underneath the concrete is poorly compacted. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, provided an inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam. Our foreman, Ramon Romero, began installing our PolyLevel Injection System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the concrete and injecting the foam into the voids underneath.
