Dave Marcotte Foundations

Was very pleased with the communication, promptness, and quality of work by this firm. Had two small vertical basement cracks repaired in July 2014 using the polyurethane injection process and so far so good. Recommended.

Prompt, efficient and honest. Dave and Shane went out of their way to ensure that my basement was repaired quickly, fully and in a way that was most cost effective. They injected my cracks with the understanding that if the injections didn't work and excavation was necessary they would not charge for the injection. The injections have worked. Dave really cares about the quality of the workmanship and service provided. He provides excellent aftercare with recommendations for contractors to complete work outside his area of expertise. Very happy with my dry basement.

Dave and his crew did a thoroughly professional job repairing cracks to my foundation. Of the three estimates I received, Dave's was the most reasonable and Dave was excellent about communicating what was required to fix the problem correctly. He suggested a couple of options on the structural repair in order to save me some money. In the end we went with Fortress Systems Kevlar\Carbon fiber straps to support the structure on the inside, and a thorough waterproofing on the outside. The latter include trenching the perimeter, adding weeping tile, a rubberize coating on the exterior walls, platon membrane and then 2" Styrofoam insulation. They then refilled the trench with crushed stone, topped off with decorative riverstone. Also, they replaced patio pavers and added topsoil for the lawn to return the site to its original condition (or better). Dave and his crew started the job on schedule and stayed with it until it was completed. As the supervisor Dave was constantly onsite to oversee the quality of the work. In sum, having to fix your foundation is costly and massively disappointing, but if you have to go through it, Dave Marcotte Foundations does the work competently and at a reasonable cost. I have recommended them to friends and neighbours without hesitation.

Dave and his clew were all hard working and very nice people to deal with. They even rescued a skunk trapped in the hole one morning!
I would hire them again for my house and certainly recommend his team to anyone I know.

Dave was so honest and helpful from the first time I called. He was quick to come and give us an estimate and very fair and flexible to our needs. His crew was on time and did a great job of waterproofing the cracks in our foundation from the exterior.

I wouldn't trust anyone else as much as I trust Dave to do my foundation repairs! Highly recommended!

We found Dave on Home Stars and are absolutely thrilled with the work he has done for us. From the first moment he came to meet us to discuss the project, he was friendly, professional and full of information. He clearly has tons of experience and was able to make useful suggestions for our house. As first-time homeowners and our first ever renovation, we needed a little extra hand holding and Dave was wonderful to us: always explaining each step of the process, helping us understand the scope and stages of the project, referring us to other professionals and contractors when needed.... And always, always super helpful, patient and communicative. His employees are equally great. They are friendly, punctual and tidy, and always willing to lend a hand or answer any questions.
We couldn't be happier with the result. We will absolutely recommend Dave Marcotte to anyone who needs a foundation or basement specialist, with full confidence that other clients will be just as happy as we are.

While trying to sell my house, a crack was noticed in its foundations. Dave's price was competitive and he was on the ball: he came quickly for an estimate, and did the job the next week. But the reason I chose him is that he gave me really good advice. He knew that cracks don't just have effects, they have a cause, and he advised me to have someone look into it. I hired a structural engineer that Dave knew; he inspected the house and reassured me that there was no structural problem. This will be important to potential buyers, so I think it is money well spent, and I did it because Dave gave me good advice.

Dave and his team worked on our foundation last summer. Not too much to tell except it was done on time, on budget and with minimum of disruption. I would recommend them to anyone who asked.

I had a small crack in my garage wall that connected to my neighbours home, I need it to be checked and repaired ASAP. Dave provide me great advise on how I should deal with this problem, he recommended that I contact a Structural engineer to confirm that it was minor in nature as he had suspected it was to make sure the work to be done was the appropriate course of action. After an extensive examination The Engineer confirmed that there was no structural issues and a minor repair job was all that was required just like Dave had felt what was needed. Prior to contacting Dave Marcotte I had several other contractors try to tell me without evening seeing the problem that it would cost thousands of dollars to repair this matter. With the great advice from Dave the cost of repair and the report and visit from a highly qualified engineer cost me less that $500.00 in total, I not only had the issued repaired but the peace of mind in knowing that it was very minor in nature, I hate to think how much I could have been taken had I gone with a less honest contractor. Thank-you very much Dave, always nice to find an honest, caring contractor.

Dave, I really want to thank you for the fantastic job you did on the crack in my foundation wall in my laundry room.

I moved into my new home last June, so this was my first winter and we definitely got our fair share of snow this year. A couple of months ago, I noticed a small bead of water in behind my washer and dryer, but since it was so minor I didn't think anything of it. Then about a month ago we had a break in the cold temperatures and experienced a bit of a thaw for one day along with tons of rain. I came home that night to find my laundry room floor covered in water. I knew I had to get something done before the real spring thaw started. I began looking online for foundation repair companies.

I had just completed making my list, after checking into each choice carefully, when we experienced another warm day. For the second time, I came home from work to a flooded basement. The very next day, a Friday, I phoned Dave's number.

He was out on a job so I left a brief message about the issue I was having and asked him to give me a call back at work. I truly wasn't expecting his call until Monday but he returned my call within two hours. I gave him more details about the problem and was pleasantly surprised that he agreed to come out and take a look that same afternoon to see what he could do. Not only that, but he would meet me when I got off work, so I didn't have to arrange for time off. Within five minutes of arriving at my house, he determined exactly what the problem was and assured me he could fix it from the inside. There was no need to do any costly outside excavation. The charge for the repair was more than reasonable and a lot lower than what I thought it was going to cost me.

Then to top it off, Dave said he didn't have any plans on the weekend and could come out on Sunday to do the repair. He was booked solid for the next week and I think he knew I was worried about another warm day and having another leak. He arrived promptly and in a great mood and walked me through what he was going to do. The bottom half of the wall where the crack was located was behind a layer of bricks, so in addition to him having to remove some drywall, he had to remove bricks. He finished the repair within 2 hours and left the room immaculate. He even hauled away all the brick debris for me. Now I can't wait for the warm weather to begin and all this snow to melt. I am confident I won't have any more leaks.

Dave, you exemplify customer service - something that is really lacking these days. In my opinion you went over and above the call of duty. Should I ever need this type of work done again, I would not hesitate to call you.

The best way I know how to show my appreciation is to recommend you and your company, which I already have.
