I’m extremely satisfied with their work. Not only did they provide a professional and thorough solution, but they also corrected issues left behind by a previous waterproofing company that didn’t do the job properly.
From the initial inspection to project completion, the team was communicative, punctual, and respectful of my home. They took the time to explain the problems, offered a clear plan, and executed everything efficiently and cleanly.

100% would use 5 Star Waterproofing again & highly recommend!
Patrick (the owner) was responsive, timely, honest, and professional from first contact through project completion. His initial estimate/visit was focused on providing a solution to solve my water problem using the most efficient, effective, and 'best bang for the buck' method that was unique and right for my situation & home. I NEVER felt like he was pressuring me or pushing for the easy, generic one-size-fits-all option, or an expensive approach that only benefited him. We started with the basics and worked up to more complex solutions through an authentic conversation between a proud business owner and a potential future customer. He laid out his plan in a way that was easy for me to visualize and understand the work to be done.
Patrick's quote/price for the project was extremely reasonable (2 other company quotes couldn't even come close in both scope of work & price), and the final product turned out to be exactly what was promised. He and his team executed a clean install and flawless clean-up. I was sent timely updates and photos of the progress throughout the installation, which was greatly appreciated while I was at work.
I am fully confident in the work Patrick and 5-star did, and the peace of mind knowing my basement is safe from future water issues is an awesome feeling.
Thanks again, and if we ever have future projects to work on, we won't hesitate to call 5-Star Waterproofing first!

We had an issue with our crawl space and contacted 5 Star Waterproofing. Patrick, the owner, was incredibly honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He didn’t try to upsell us but instead offered the best and most cost-effective solution for our specific problem. His professionalism and integrity really stood out, and we felt confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for quality work and a company you can trust👍

Patrick and the 5 Star team are hands down the best in business! They exemplify the epitome of what a 5-star service should entail.
1. Punctual. They arrive when they say they will.
2. The job is explained to you. Not just what you need but why you need it.
3. Professional. When a contractor's employee first word is a greeting and lay down tarp to protect your floors. That's unique!
4. No loud or vulgar language.
5. Their prices are very competitive.
6. Patrick, the owner, walks thru every job to ensure it meets the 5-Star standards.
I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. If not, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are several thousand words.

Patrick and his crew did a wonderful job waterproofing our basement. On time , clean and professional. They prepared everything, covered and moved all our personal stuff and had machines running to keep it a dust free environment. Definitely would recommend to anyone that needs a clean and fast install
