Large Foundation and Garage project

Note: I did not want to include the actual cost as part of the review.

Top marks to EC Foundations for the job recently completed (July 2024). There was a significant crack in the garage foundation and the garage floor was severely cracked with a couple of sections sunken.

Scott and Carl came for a preliminary meeting and explained that before any quote for work could be given, an exploratory dig was required to determine the extent of the foundation crack. As part of the dig an engineer was brought in to analyze the soil and foundation and recommend a course of action.

In the end the project was completed quickly and with high quality. I was kept up to date with progress, any delays due to weather, and the schedule for the garage floor cement pour (as it was a subcontractor). The site was maintained with safety barriers as required and cleaned up properly after the job was completed.

The EC Foundations crew and the Cement crew were hard working, friendly and willing to answer any questions I had.

EC Foundations had previously repaired a minor crack in the house foundation, and I had recommended them to another homeowner who was very happy with the work.

I would recommend EC Foundations if you are seriously concerned about any foundation issues with your house.

Front porch/cold storage waterproofing

EC Foundations is a very professional firm. Everyone we dealt with was confident, skilled and reliable. EC Foundations arrives at your home when they say theyll be arriving, they do excellent work with minimal disruptions, they take great care to protect gardens and the
surrounding property, they clean up carefully and they honour their quoted price. We would recommend them to anyone.

Waterproofed our back home wall, fixing 2 cracks and installing 2 window wells

Would strongly recommend!
The entire process was fantastic.

Carl was clear, honest, and considerate in his advice from the time of the first estimate and the crew were a fun bunch with plenty of knowledge and care for the work (e.g. ensured our lilac trees were safe and were happy to answer all our questions).

Foundation Repair

If I had to use one word to describe my experience with EC Foundations it would be "Outstanding". I discovered several cracks in my foundation wall and although I had not had any water damage, I knew that if something was not done this was likely to change for the worse. Finding a good foundation repair company can be daunting, but Scott and his team at EC foundations came through for me. Scott came to my home, listened to my concerns, and made expert recommendations to address the issues. The work was scheduled and done sooner than anticipated. The EC team completed the repairs in a very professional and timely manner, taking the time during the work to explain to me what they were doing. Their attention to detail was superb, and they did such a great cleanup that one area in particular looked precisely as it was before they started. I highly recommend EC foundations.

Major Foundation Repair

We hired EC Foundations to repair our foundation recently. Cracks were visible in the foundation and in the brick veneer. A test pit dug in one day and analysis of soil samples was conducted by engineers Morey Associates. Scott the owner explained what needed to be done and how long it would take. He took care of everything including dealing with the city for permits and with the consulting engineers regarding the needed repair. He also suggested how to proceed to get a large tree on my front lawn removed.
This was a major project that required the excavation down to the footings across the entire front of the house, partway down the sides and inside the garage. It was gratifying to work with a group of knowledge workers. Everyone on the team knew their role every step of the way and helped move things along. There was no idle time with obvious collaboration among the workers. All our neighbours came by to comment how good these workers were, how clean their work was, how they were attentive to minimize disruption in the neighborhood.
Communication from Scott and the crew about current status and what to expect next was excellent from beginning to end.
The work was planned as a two-week project that was delivered on time and on budget. We are very pleased with the results and would recommend EC Foundations to anyone in need of foundation repair.

Foundation Repair

The owner of E. C. Foundation (Scott|) communicated effectively with me on all aspects of the what was required to secure my foundation. After explaining all phases of the job, I felt more at ease with my situation. Scott's team were so connected in performing the various functions to restore my foundation, They definitely had the skills, were dependable, punctual and proficient in all aspects of performing each required function. Their organizational skills were absolutely amazing. I was just amazed at how efficient and effectively they completed each function. When the job was completed, they cleaned up my property and left it as it was before they started the job. I thank them for a great job and would highly recommend them to anyone who is having foundation problems.

Impeccable Foundation work

EC Foundations is one of the most professional contractors I have hired in my (long) life of renovation adventures !
I hired them to consolidate and waterproof the foundations of my old house (built in 1917)
The work they did was great : tidy, efficient and done on schedule.
Right from the start, Scott, the manager, explained in detail each part of the work his team would do, and organized that I came at the inception of the work, and upon completion.
Very helpful and reassuring indeed !
I highly recommend EC foundations.

Foundation Repair and waterproofing

We hired EC foundations to underpin and waterproof our foundation. Scott and his crew were exceptional – easy to speak with, extremely knowledgeable, clean, and professional. They were readily available for questions and spent time to walk us through the repair process. Scott and his crew addressed the inevitable surprises calmly and fairly, which we found very reassuring. They handled the city permits, inspector visits and engineer reports. Scott also took time to meet with our neighbour to ensure they had a full understanding of how the crew would protect their property. They took care of setting up the piles for additional structures we would build after the foundation work was complete, which saved us a lot of time. Scott and his team were here every day and provided daily updates. We recommend EC Foundation without hesitation.
