Foundation repair and parging

1. On the outside of my house, parging was completed, as well as fixes to the external foundation structure.
2. On the inside of the basement, all the walls were crumbling, and the team repaired and then parged.

Everything went well, and the project leader, Dean, was especially helpful with recommendations and co-ordination.

Foundation Repair

When water seeps into your basement it is easy to become alarmed.
Such was the case with our family home. One day we noticed a large wet spot along the foundation wall in the basement. We called three companies immediately. Only one called back, on a weekend and that was GJ MacRae. Within a couple of days they were on site with an estimate to repair, within 7 days it was repaired. Price was fair with payment on completion. The crew was courteous and efficient. The jobsite very clean and when completed my lawn/garden was restored immediately. These guys are real pros. Trust them, they are fantastic!

Waterproofing and weeping tile repair

We would highly recommend G. J. MacRae and the exceptional team led by Dean and Magnus. Very professional, efficient, timely, and refreshingly honest! We had a flood in our basement, after having had waterproofing done 10 years ago ny a different company. Dean identified that we had 2 cracks in the foundation that were in the area of the current waterproofing. We wanted advice and honesty on how to best correct the problems. Dean provided a quote and the team started 2 days later. Within 1 1/2 days 27' of waterproofing was completed in the most professional manner. We learned a lot from Dean and Magnus on what had been done incorrectly the first time. We highly recommend this company if you want peace of mind and exceptional trades work! Totally reliable, honest and knowledgable.

Foundation and Weeping Tile Repair

Our home was built in 1949. After heavy rains in October and November water started to leak into the basement. Mac Rae's staff identified the problem right away and once we approved the quote they came out the same week. Mac Rae's crew were polite and took care to minimize disruption when some work had to be done inside the house. Approximately 35 feet of foundation had to be exposed down to the weeping tile which was plugged full of sand. The work was completed in two days during the week of January 27, 2020 and came in as quoted. I highly recommend this company

waterproofing

Excellent service. Timely and friendly. Worked steadily without pauses.
The previous contractor abandoned the job leaving us stuck with a trench around our house. My contact was Dean. He made sure the job went was started quickly and was followed up to make sure it met our satisfaction. The crew also was able to clean up and my neighbours’ property and ours appeared in the original state.
Really happy with the work

Yes, I remember speaking to you. I was very disturbed by your story with your previous contractor. Having said that, we, GJ MacRae, wanted to help by "Making it Right" for you. I spoke to Gavin and Dean, we agreed helping was the right thing to do. You can rest easy now Ian.

Basement Flooding Fixed

I purchased a semi-detached home in the Junction area. When it rained really hard, and during the spring thaw, I would often come home to an inch of water in my basement. I contacted Gavin asking for a quick fix, but he told me straight up that the fix was not simple and explained in detail why. He made me feel comfortable the he could take care of the entire job without me having to worry. He said it would take about 2 weeks, and he was finished in 1 week. Left the basement and property clean and tidy. We've had several extreme rainfalls since the fix, and it has remained bone dry.

Waterproofing

We were very happy with the professionalism and great customer service. We had several questions when the crack appeared in the foundation wall but Dean was great in coming out quickly and talking us through what needed to be done. The estimate was detailed and very well explained. The workmanship was top quality, done in a very timely manner. We ended up needing less work done than estimated and Dean was very transparent about that as well. Happy to recommend GJ MacRae to others.
