Interior Waterproofing

I met with Dean who is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced along with having tons of patience for my many questions. I felt very confident with his recommendation for interior waterproofing.
The job was completed by hard working staff who I also found to be professional and polite.
The end result was a great job completed in a timely manner with the job site left clean and tidy!
Happy to recommend G J MacRae Foundation Repair.

Crawlspace foundation rebuild with new footings and sill plate replacement

Gavin and his team did a wonderful job rebuilding a foundational wall covering a 13-foot section of our 120-year-old home. Given the nature of the work and our house, we were expecting a surprise or two. However, GJ MacRae completed the project on budget and as planned within three days. The team worked so efficiently and professionally that we hardly knew they were hereand both my wife and I work from home. They also posted daily updates on social mediaproof, to me at least, that they were proud of the work they did. As a new homeowner, I wish I could have received more frequent updates from Gavin while the work was ongoing. However, everything went so smoothly that it hardly felt necessary at the time!

Club house - Bagshop Foundation waterproofing

The foundation repair GJ Macrae did in our facility was a job well done. The first quote was added because of the extra works they have to do. I was pleased with the result and the waterproofing system they installed is the right one that is required for the condition of the wall.
I am really pleased with how the works is done. The crew was really polite and accomodating with the flow of activities we have during the excavation.
Great job overall.

Underpinning, structural enhancement, dig-out, waterproof, and pour new floor

From initial-meet hand shake to finished-project hand shake, Gavin was truly the most pleasant person you could hope to work with. Very quick to earn our trust with our home and investment, Gavin was a great listener, gave great advice tailored to our needs, showed up to start on plan and finished our challenging project essential on plan (we had some challenges arise which he and the team accommodated which also included some unplanned weekend appearances to pick up some lost time!). We had no major surprises from Gavin on start, process, plan, finish, or costs which greatly helped keep our anxiety levels down. We would happily recommend Gavin and he would be our first call if ever doing this type of work again. Thanks Gavin and team!

Foundation Repair

Excellent service to repair the foundation leak on the exterior with a very hard working team. This is the second house I have used GJ MacRae services. I would use them again if needed. The 15 year transferrable warranty is very reassuring.

Underpinning, Parging and Sump Pit Replacement

My wife and I cannot speak more highly of Dean and the crew. We inherited a bunch of problems when buying a home and each has now been successfully remediated by GJ MacRae. Every member of the team has been respectful, on-time and throughly professional in completing the respective scopes of work, including keeping the worksite tidy and cleaning up at the end of each project. They have our thanks and we highly recommend them.

Foundation repair and waterproofing

Gavin and the team at GJ MacRae did a great job on the foundation repair and waterproofing of our 19th Century home. They were recommended by our General Contractor.

Gavin was happy to answer all my questions about the work being done and regarding maintenance going forward. The team worked hard, were polite, and finished before we knew it. I even got a follow up email after the work was done to see if all was well and if any further help was needed. Highly recommended!
