Spoke with Mike the owner via phone about his services in January, Met with him in person shortly after for site assessment and estimate. We decided to hire Foundation Builders since he had previous experience with installing walkouts and there do not appear to be many contractors who do this on a regular basis. Work was started in April and took approx. 4 weeks to complete. Our biggest concern with installing the walkout was potential for drainage/flooding problems in our basement to develop. Foundation Builders did a thorough job of installing drainage appropriate for our site and basement. So far, no overflow or flooding problems from the drain. Door was installed with attention to "getting it right". Mike the owner is very hands on with his installations even though he is in the senior citizen category! He wants the job done right and doesn't leave the details to chance. This is not a cheap project nor is it a project for an amateur. The walkout was installed well and is also attractive. Be forewarned with any large project like this there will be some upheaval of the landscaping in the project area but this is unavoidable. Our lawn was protected leading from street to construction area. You will need to re-landscape around the actual construction site which would be an added expense unless you are a DIY devotee.
