Hired Bevidere to repair our cracked as well as waterproof the foundation. A friendly crew arrived each day to dig by hand and eager to answer questions. Before leaving for the day the area was cleaned. The crew dug 3 sides of the foundation by hand. This job took 11 days and soon I was able to enjoy my property as if nothing had happened. John, Keira and the crew were most helpful in answering questions. I would high recommend this company.
I have over a decade of experience as a Construction Manager on residential and commercial renovations. I have dealt with thousands of companies during my time in that position and Belvidere gave me the worst experience I've ever had. I researched them heavily and they looked great. I hired them under the expectation they had in house crew to complete the work. They sent an unqualified subcontracted company that made mistake after mistake.
- Dug up wrong wall
- Damaged my yard as well as my neighbours driveway (that they didn't ask to use)
- Several crew members spent two full weeks urinating all over my yard as the port a potty outlined in contract never was brought on site
- They damaged my AC unit and filled it with mud
- The first brackets they made were several inches too short (as per engineer drawings) they lied to me that they were fine but I forced them to get proper length ones after an argument
- The first city inspection (which I had to do myself) failed because they installed and blocked two brackets incorrectly
- First spring after repair my basement leaked in a spot within the waterproof membrane repair I had paid for
- Their solution was to hire another company to fix from inside with epoxy (still not done)
- Leak was on wall under steps and deck I paid to tunnel under. I cut open deck to see that they never backfilled about 10' of wall and created a waterslide and ditch to funnel water right to the foundation they were meant to waterproof. This caused a leak in a spot that never even leaked before (pics attached)
- They had told me the crew they subcontracted on my job would not be working for them any longer, but that's who they sent to correct the backfill problem months later. When I asked why they were there instead of the Belvidere foreman I was promised the lead of that crew got into a verbal altercation with me, was physically threatening, and finished by saying "F off and fix it yourself" he then told the crew to pack up their stuff and leave.
Through all of this I was very patient until the breaking point. I have never once received a visit, call, or even email from the owner of the company apologizing for these massive failings or offering a solution.
Avoid this company at all costs.
Courteous, prompt reliable foundation repair to 3 areas of my foundation. Crew showed up everyday on time and did a wonderful clean up job afterwards and job comes with a full transferable warranty! I would highly recommend this company.
Belvidere was on-site for 3 weeks. The work involved digging 12 x 30' holes for pile installation, breaking through the footings, pouring the concrete to re-tie into the footings, backfilling with crushed rock, dirt, fine gravel and topsoil. The piles were for stabilization, not leveling.
We also had some cracks repaired and waterproofing done.
The work crew did a great job. Worked hard. Responded to our questions and observations. The site was cleaned up very well, you can't really tell we had the work done by looking at our property.
Given the delays caused by COVID I get that the work took place later in the year than we expected BUT it would have been nice to have received some sense of when the work would start. We ended up putting our entire summer on hold.
The first crew came to hand shovel the outside of the basement. Anthony ( Not the owner) braced the walls from inside. This was good except for the North wall still has unfixed large cracks which were supposed to have been done, weren’t. The carpenters Jim and Brent of a subcontractor Belvidere uses, did not replace a coal shute even though I reminded Jim on 5 separate occasions. There is a long horizontal crack at the bottom of the East wall I could slide my hand through, this was also not fixed. The stucco job was to have been a Re-stucco which meant remove the stucco pargement and wood, was just a throw more stucco on top of the old crooked warped one and ignore the 30 foot 2 inch gap altogether! $4400 for a cover up job. The rear entrance was removed and when the third carpenter was done There is a two inch gap on the drywall and I can see right through the edges of this shoddy job. I had to pay someone from kijiji to get rid of All the debris and I had to fix the rear entrance, myself. Since I also bought 7 pails of hydraulic cement to fill the East wall horizontal gap, I feel ripped off for $ 32000, I would recommend going anywhere else than this Belvidere construction. They are liars and crappy workmen, really. If John Hunt or Anthony Zappitelli can read this, come and remove your old plywood sheets left abandoned on my property.
This company is garbage. Took a month and a bit and two different crews to get the work completed! While in the process, they damaged our pool, grass, door which after much complaining and the company trying to place the blame on us the customers, the damage was somewhat taken care of!!! Poor customer service and extremely hard to talk to. Will never recommend this company to anyone. They are all lies!!
