Basement underpinning

Rock Bottom delivered a high quality underpinning job with a team of skilled and hardworking employees. The team was very reliable and there was good communication between us and our key contact point. The owner of the company is engaged and involved and showed up every now and then to assess progress. I commend Rock Bottom for having a clear line of sight of the work that needs to be completed which led to minimal to no surprises. Finally, Rock Bottom supported us through the process of obtaining the necessary details to submit an application for a rebate on the sump pump and sump pit.

Basement underpinning

Rock Bottom was very responsive during the quotation period and throughout the process. They were very accommodating with a mid-project change, and also pushed the right amount for their own recommendations. The work crew were very respectful and hard-working - it was easy to live through the process. Deducted 1 star because with a little more attention to housekeeping at the end of the project they would honestly be a 10/10 contractor.

Basement underpin and in floor heating installation

Jamie and his crew were great!
We hired Jamie and crew to dig out and underpin our basement and install in floor heating. We were very impressed.
They were organized and prepared and finished exactly on schedule. We would definitely recommend them!

Easily the most organized and professional underpinners Ive worked with. The full team showed up every day until the job was done and left a clean organized site. Good guys all around. Looking forward to the next one!

Underpinning Project

Rock Bottom Underpinning should be called Rock Stars Underpinning.

Dion, Jamie & Sergio are the complete opposite of the industry perception- they are Transparent, Communicative, On-time, and most importantly made the entire process Stress-Free.

Their team worked tirelessly 6 days a week. They arrived early each and every day and worked until early evenings (sometimes 12 hrs a day), each day with a friendly smile.

Their work was impeccable, in fact, our engineer said he's never seen an underpin so neat, orderly, and on specs. Each day they cleaned the house where they were walking in and out of and did their best to keep the dirt to a minimum.

We had one small hiccup (not their fault) but Jamie and Dion called us remotely to consult and spent an hour on the phone with us after hours. Not only did they reassure us that there was no concern but Sergio was back onsite at 7:30am the next morning to help with a solution.

My only wish: we had used them to complete the full basement project- underpin and finishing.

Go with this team, you will not be disappointed.

It has been a pleasure to work with you both on your underpinning project. Wish we could have worked together on the renovation as well

This is the type of impression we strive to leave all our clients.

Thank you and good luck

New Toronto New Basement

An absolute pleasure to work with. Jamie and Dion , most professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending Rock Bottom Underpinning to anyone. In effect they have doubled our living space in our Lakeshore New Toronto home. The process was straight forward with Rockbottom's people working up our design options and obtaining city permits. Then the hard work starts with the dig and Jamie and Dions team got into it, a dedicated crew. I remember at a point in time thinking this is a lot bigger job than I realized, and relieved we got the right team on it. These guys eat, breath and sleep underpinning.
Jamie and Owner of Rockbottom Dion were always available and had a fantastic crew.
Early in the conversations we were offered the options of an additional walkout entrance at back of house as well as an in floor heating option. I would highly recommend others go this option.

They went well beyond the original brief and organized the removal and replacement of the heating and Knob and Tube wiring for the rest of the house with a team of vetted contractors they use.
With the Basement shell complete we have gone with their Rockbottom Renos division for the completion of our basement apartment.

Many Thanks and full marks to Jamie and Dion and team

Rock Bottom is Rock Solid

We obtained 3 quotes for our basement underpinning. We chose to go with Rock Bottom because they edged out their competition on all of our most significant criteria: cost, time required, estimated start time and references.

Rock Bottom underpinned our existing basement of approximately 125 linear feet. In addition to the usual scope of work for underpinning, our project included demolition of our existing basement drywall, framing, flooring, etc. The crew also installed hydronic flooring.

We got off to a slow start. We signed our contact on March 21st, but didn't submit our permit application until June. Blain from Cadmonkeys who worked with us to prepare the floorplan for our permit application was not very responsive. The permit was issued on July 24, but we weren't made aware of that until August 11th. The work started in October.

Once the work began, it went very smoothly. The crew worked tirelessly, six days a week. They finished the job on time, which was much appreciated because we had other work scheduled to begin shortly after.

We are very happy with the quality of the work Rock Bottom did for us. That's most important to us. It was completed for the agreed price, without any surprises. The crew took great care not to damage our home and to keep the site clean. Jamie, who oversaw the work, kept us informed of progress and thoughtfully suggested ideas to make the new layout ideal, such as the placement of the overhead beams, sump pump, sewage ejector and water meter.

Overall, we were happy enough with the underpinning that we agreed to have Rock Bottom finish our basement. That work is currently underway, and the quality is looking very good, indeed.

We would recommend that you seriously consider Rock Bottom for your basement underpinning.
