All reviews for Groundworks

Have had inspection, and intend to follow the recommendations and have the work done. The inspector, Alex, spent several hours at our home, and did a very carful and complete inspection, including entering tight crawlspaces that must have been an uncomfortable task. The report was detailed and I am confident as to the validity. The recommendation appears reasonable. Alex explained it clearly and he patiently spent as much time with us as my wife and I needed. I look forward to having the work done.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Brill to get a better understanding of the work that’s needed to repair my foundation. He was extremely thorough on his inspection and a really went into detail on what he found and what the next steps would be. I wouldn’t want to work with any other company that Groundwork’s from now on.

Mark Brill was fantastic in his assessment , very thorough and spent time making us understand the problem and solution . He gave us confidence in the company’s value .

Our technician, Nicholas Mahoney was very knowledgeable and thorough about our problem.
He was friendly and took his time to explain everything the company did. He showed us the reviews, and he looked not only in the inside he went in and inspected our crawl space. He inspected the outside. He used special equipments to make sure we were level in all our places. Nicholas was very professional and well-mannered.

Dillon Roach shows up and knows what he is doing. Professional and detailed. I’ll follow up again if I go with the service and update my review then

We had Eric inspect the crawlspace of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely professional, thorough, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of our questions. His attention to detail gave us confidence in understanding the condition of our home, and they provided actionable insights that were easy to follow. We highly recommend Eric!

Mike and Ian came in for uneven concrete problem that I inherited. They were polite and thorough with their inspection and I feel confident with the project. Next step is to find the fund and hopefully we will go through the project. Thank you, Groundworks!

Wyatt and Jesse were great. They were hard workers, kept me updated daily with their progress and photos, and they kept the work area clean and tidy. Wyatt clearly explained his timeline, what was going on under the house and answered all my questions.

Jose, Vidal and the entire crew were very professional and did a fantastic job stabilizing my foundation. I was very impressed with the process from start to finish. After their thorough cleanup you couldn’t tell anyone was here. 5 STARS!

I am posting this review because I want to specifically highlight the outstanding, above and beyond work of the two service techs (Nick Picardal and Ashton Price) that came out to fix some outstanding issues with our doors post floor leveling (we were hoping to fix a number of door issues with floor leveling. While our floors were level, the doors still were not functioning).

We had doors that were stuck open, stuck closed, or just didn't latch. They came out, and were able to shim, rehang, and adjust the door frame spacing so that our doors could work properly. They really put in the time and extra effort to make sure the doors were aligned correctly and could work well, and didn't just throw up their hands after one try and say that it was beyond the scope of their jobs because they sincerely wanted to make sure we were fully happy.

They were friendly, very professional, and efficient. They cleaned up after themselves when they were done. Our doors work as intended now, and we can finally use our front door again. Many thanks Nick and Ashton.

From the beginning, with Bay Area Underpinning, I felt this is a first rate company, 100% qualified in what they do. Now that they have been bought out by Groundwork’s, I feel they are even more aligned to become the premier foundation experts in California, if not the nation. Their expertise, professionalism and knowledge enabled me to feel confident and secure in the decision I made to secure my home’s foundation with them. Special thank you to Lance Sladek and Ashton Price for their endless support and continued follow up.

Anthony and his team came to fix the two backup batteries issues and relocate the dehumidifier in my house crawl space, they have done a great job with very professional skill. He also provided great service and came to inspect and diagnose the dehumidifier power off issue with knowledgeable suggestions, they have very good communication with homeowner, I highly recommend Anthony and his team, thank you!

After 1 year of the job, Groundworks proactively called me to do the annual inspection that was included as part of my purchase. Nicolas Picardal came in and was amazing. Communicated really well what was the plan, what he was doing, etc. He found that in the idea scenario we would have a pump between the dehumidifier and the main sump pump and came back at 7am the next day to do the job asap! Great service and I felt they cared about my home as much as I do!

The guy Mark Brill from Groundworks came by and take a look at the foundation of my house. He's very knowledgeable and explained everything to me to help me understand what my house foundation is happening. He also provided me full detail on all options available to fix the foundation issue. Good work!

I was scrolling social media when I saw the video of concrete magically rising to level and figured I’d click and inquire more. Mark Brill came to my house to look at my job, evaluate and quote the work. He was patient, knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything. It was really fascinating how easy my troubled walkway could be made level and eliminate a dangerous trip hazard for my family. I had many question and Mark worked through it all and provided me a fair quote for the work! I paid a deposit and awaited scheduling for the install. Fast forward a couple weeks and the installers showed up to complete the job at 8am. They were there on time and was led by a gentlemen by the name of David. David and his teammate worked diligently from 8am-12pm making sure that my job was completed perfectly. David was super nice and was a pleasure to talk with. He listened to my concerns and checked in to make sure the work was up to my satisfaction. They worked on several slabs of concrete and made my entire walkway level with foam rising, crack sealing and grinding. My only complaint is how loud the truck is during the work. Inside the house it wasn’t bad but for anybody walking around the neighborhood it was very loud.
I am happy to now have a very safe and very level walkway to our door that our grandparents can feel safe walking on. Thanks Bay Area Underpinning.

I hired Bay Area Underpinning, now called Groundworks, for foundation lift on my 1950 home eight years ago. They installed 18 piers (yes, my home had a lot of settling) and the lift was successful in closing cracks and voids in the house.

From the initial inspection to the finished project, the employees were professional, courteous, and diligent workers.

Today Ashton came for a follow up visit and addressed some of my concerns with excellent explanations and reassurance.

I remain very pleased with this company and highly recommend them for any foundation repairs you may need.

Completed my foundation repair with Groundworks.
I must say, Alex is the most professional, genuine and ethical expert to work with. During inspection, he went over everything in detail and explained the needed repairs. He built trust and came up with a reasonable proposal to fix. Jospeh, Louis and Alex were present during the repair. We were impressed by their attention to details and we highly recommend their service.
I will definitely come back to this business.
Thanks!!

Overall very good service and I'm hoping this solves my foundation issue for a while. The price is definitely expensive but if the piers stabilize the house forever then it'll be worth it.

The inspection was detailed and a good plan was put together to support the side of the house that needed it most. The project got started sooner than expected and the ground grew (Anthony) were great. Everything went smooth, the house was raised enough to get it more stable without breaking any existing fixtures so we couldn't get it perfectly back flat but it's still great.

The crew cleaned up well and you would have no idea the posts are there.

Thanks groundworks team

Have a very good service from Leo, this morning. His punctuality, politeness and expertise in carefully assessing our bathroom subfloor situation are of utmost satisfaction. I would recommend him to anyone that need the services.
The company, Groundworks is also very professional in the field, they just simply provide the subfloor structure conditions based on fact base, no selling pressure for their service at all
Very glad to have this type of service in our community!

We reached out to Groundworks in Sunnyvale because we had concerns about water in our crawlspace. Shayan, one of their inspectors/assessors, promptly came to our house and did a thorough inspection. He was very thorough and patient in explaining our situation (he showed pictures and measurements of our crawl space) and our options. After his overview of our situation and viable solutions, we decided to work with Groundworks to put a triple sump pump in our crawl space. All in all, I am very impressed with Groundworks and by the thoroughness and friendliness of their staff.

Jose, Vidal and crew were amazing! They explained the process every step of the way, were so friendly yet professional and went above and beyond to clean the site all throughout the process. I cannot say enough about the team. When you make an investment of this size into your home you want to feel confident in your decision and the work. Jose and team definitely made us confident in our decision to go with Groundworks. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
