Overall the process was very easy. The job was completed and the crew left the place extremely clean. It resolved an ongoing issue in our garage and has been bone dry!

Just up visiting for the weekend and happened across La Cita. So happy we did. Take it from a couple Californians - this is legit Mexican. Everything was delicious. We had the sopesitos al pastor, flautas, burrito de pescado, and the burrito diablo. 🌶️The service is friendly and quick. Couldn’t have asked for a better lunch stop. Even the picky 13 year old was telling us the food was good.👍 We will be back soon!

My experience was terrific! Steve helped us along the way, and was very informative during the process; and the best part is that it was done right away! I would definitely recommend First Choice Waterproofing to anyone that needs that type of help! Thanks again, Steve!

The team at FCW was spectacular. They protected the home and kept the place clean and tidy throughout the project; once done it was super clean.The teams were courteous and knowledgeable. As they progressed through the project they kept us informed of timing, issues or good to know facts/discoveries.Cant say enough good things about their service and performance. Best if all… NO MORE WATER WORRIES SINCE!!!

Steve and Wilson and everyone at First Choice Waterproofing did an amazing job in our basement. They installed two sump pumps and a French drain all in one day. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a certified dry basement.

Wow First Choice Waterproofing did an amazing job in our basement. our basement is large 219 feet. a crew of 5-6 came in with Willson as the foremen and completed the job in 3 days!!!! they jack hammered the entire perimeter of our foundation, added piping gravel and cemented over. added 3 large sub pumps, moved everything out of the way and bam! our basement has been bone dry! the cost was 30% less than the competition and the work was excellent. And we were offered financing for the job at zero interest ! thank you Willson and thank you First Choice, we can't tell you what a relief this is to no longer having water in our 60 year old basement!!!! highly recommend First Choice.

Steve and his crew came to install a French drain and new sump pump and pit after we flooded. Everything was done very quickly and works great. Would highly recommend.

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents, who have lived in New Jersey for over 40 years. I no longer live there, as I reside in North Carolina. My parents were in need of basement waterproofing and I researched several companies for them and made a few appointments.Ultimately, we decided to go with First Choice Waterproofing. Because I could not physically be there for the appointment, I was able to FaceTime and be involved. I was able to ask all questions in regard to the project, and what responsibilities my parents were signing up for.Throughout the process, we were very satisfied with First Choice Waterproofing. The presentation, the materials, and the warranty were what sold us. The crew that came to the house and did the work were very respectful throughout the process, making sure that if my parents had any questions they were answered.It has been two months since the job was completed and they have had a few rainstorms since then. I am happy to report that my parents’ basement has remained dry, and there have been no issues with the high-quality sump pumps that were installed.I honestly don't understand how anybody could leave a negative review for this excellent company. I suppose some people have to have something to complain about all the time.I highly recommend First Choice Waterproofing!!

Steve, was very helpful. Was able to identify it was a gutter problem and not a basement waterproofing problem. I appreciate his honesty and being trustworthy. A lot of contractors would have tried selling us expensive repairs we didn’t need

First choice water proofing was, in one word, excellent. They exceeded all our expectations and were the picture of professionalism. I’m very grateful for picking them to waterproof my basement. Steve and his team are simply the best waterproofing company in the tri-state area.

The owner (Steve) was responsive, the salesman/project manager (Steve) walked us through the project, and the crew who did the work were all fantastic. Job was done effectively and within the timeframe as well. There were no surprises as Steve walked us through everything and answered all of our questions. I would recommend

My initial contact with First Choice Waterproofing was a phone call.The voice on the other end of the phone was warm and friendly...that was a plus to me. From the start I was put at ease. When I hung up the phone I not only had an appointment with Steve I had confidence in the company. Steve arrived on time, greeted me with a smile and explained exactly what needed to be done and why? Of course, I didn't want my life in free fall by men with jack hammers, stones, pipes and cement, but I didn't want water in my home either. I signed a contract, gave a deposit and had a starting date. A crew of 4/5 men arrived, got right to work and 2 days later they were gone. It's crazy to say...but besides the noise of the jackhammer I didn't even know they were there. All went about their job...quickly and quietly. AND, if I had a question all were answered with a smile. On top of being one of the most professional companies I have ever worked with...they cleaned up afterwards. Besides the evidence of the work that was done the crew left my rooms clean and orderly. The next step...the electrician...again without a problem. The final step...putting the walls and floor back. A few days later Chris, the carpenter arrived...again met with a smile and more information. A major concern of mine was saving my vinyl floor...it was only a year old. Obviously, I didn't want the added expense of replacing it, Chris assured me the floor could be saved...whew! Although it was not part of the job, Chris could sense I was not anxious to repaint the new sheet rocked walls. He offered, at no additional cost, to do it. All I had to do was supply the paint. Eureka!!! Chris didn't have to, but he also helped me put all my furniture back where it belonged. This was not an easy task as the furniture included a couch, chairs, tables, 60" plasma and stand, a dresser, a bed and all the little things rooms have. Of course I had a major cleaning job ahead of me, but the rooms were back in order. That evening, the owner of the company, Steve...which by the way was there every step of the way...came for a final inspection and his words, "If you need anything do not hesitate to call." Well a month later I called with a concern...Steve was at my home within a few hours...and it was at night. I cannot say enough positive things about First Choice Waterproofing. If you put your trust in this company you will not be disappointed.

We had an excellent experience from beginning conversations with Steve, to completion of the basement waterproofing system! My husband and I are very pleased with the outcome! The foreman, Wilson, and his crew were hard working and certainly their team effort was evident. Wilson was thorough with his work and communication. He initiated conversation and frequently asked if he could answer any of our questions. The crew went above and beyond to disassemble a wooden train table and remove it. Upon completion of the work, Wilson did a summarizing walk through with us and set up 2 dehumidifiers to drain right into the pits. The work area was left clean, both inside and out. I am smiling knowing the worrisome years of a wet basement are behind me. Thank you First Choice Waterproofing!

If there were more than five stars to give this company for its service, I would give it to them. I cannot speak highly enough of the two (2) Steve’s’. I had done some research beforehand but was grateful for their expertise. From the first time I reached out, Steve answered immediately and from there on out was very responsive. Steve explained everything in a way that was easy even for a novice to understand and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Their professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. I will recommend Home Genius to any homeowner who is looking for great service and response time.

from the first call to the office to the many conversations with Steve Crowe I was impressed with the professionalism and service. he never rushed me, took the time to explain everything, brought up excellent points that I hadn't thought of, answered all of my questions, and helped me understand all of our options. in the end, Steve advised that we really needed to get the town to fix some drainage issues. ours would have been a very big job, I really appreciate his honesty especially after all the time he put in.

From first contact to the end of the job (and beyond), this was the best personal and professional interaction I've had in decades. Everyone involved was business-like, informative, capable and focused on me having the best possible service. Job definition, timeliness, attitude, and follow-up like I have not seen in recent memory. Straight-forward, honest, informative, and dedicated. Steve Crow as inspector, assessed our situation, and he was then followed by everyone in the chain from the excavators, led by Wilson, to Henry, the electrician subcontracted to finish up, I couldn't be more satisfied. This is very rare today. They would be my first call in the future.

I've waited through two downpours before posting this review and haven't waded through any water -- the basement is dry as a bone.First Choice planned the French drain system carefully and accomplished the work in one day. Mine was an old finished basement with built-ins and tight spaces. Two companies required extensive demolition. Steve was reassuring that the work could be done without it and he delivered on his promise.Wilson is a true problem solver and engineered the discharge perfectly. He worked skillfully with a crew of six, needing only an even cut along the bottom of the wall. They opened the concrete floor without causing a spiderweb of cracks. The resurfacing over the drain laid in a bed of washed stone is smooth and flawless. The extensive clean-up was thorough and complete.I had a lot of approach avoidance about this and was a skittish customer. First Choice performed superbly.

Excellent service, both installation & customer service. Great company to work & deal with!After a first time flood in our basement, we needed a solution to make sure it NEVER happened again. We got estimates from a couple of companies & FIrst Choice Waterproofing was by far the best, both in cost and warranty. (You can't beat a lifetime warranty that passes on to the new homeowner if we sell).Steve Crow was the first person we met. He explained the whole process very clearly & answered all of our questions. He was knowledgable, super nice, & very compassionate. He worked with us on scheduling to get the job quickly within our schedule.The work crew, led by Wilson, was great! Wilson kept us updated throughout the installation. They did a great job too. They were efficient and cleaned up everything behind them. Since installation, we had two hurricanes and the pumps did their job. We can't thank First Choice enough and we very highly recommend them!

Steve came to my house to evaluate a small water issue in my boiler room. He immediately assessed the problem as minor and said hat his firm doesn't perform that type of service. He then spent time showing me exactly what needed to be done to mitigate the problem. I appreciated his honesty and would recommend that Steve be called by anyone in need of his services.

Steve and his crew were very professional and up front with everything. They were on time and reliable. I had a question on the Labor Day holiday and Steve answered my call and question even though it was a Holiday. They explained the process to us from start to finish and were happy help us understand the work they were going to do. There was no residual mess, the cleanup was great. I'd recommend these guys for sure.

My water proofing the basement project went very well. I had 200 linear feet of work done and it's a world of difference as the basement feels dry, love the clean walls and their special patterned produce. I would definetly recommend them to my family or friends. "First choice is the only choice to go with"Regards,Happy Client
