Collen came out to the house wrote down the measurements, discussed all the details and described the process of how they HAND dig the entire job. I scheduled the work, the crew and Collen came promptly on the day. They were all friendly courteous, and knowledgeable about the entire process. Cory followed up the next day with a visit to ensure the project was flowing well. Collen returned on the third day to make sure All the work was done to beyond his and my expectations. I am thoroughly happy with BFR and I would recommend them to anyone needing their basement protected properly. Money very well spent with a great warranty. I can see why Mike Holmes trusts the Bowen Brothers. They truly do follow Mike’s motto: “Make it Right” and “Do it right the First time”.

Collen and his team were true professionals and easy to work with. The quality of their work is exceptional (I’ve seen the shoddy work done by others in my neighborhood who still have water issues). The crew of Marley, Nigel, and Emerson came early, worked long and hard and made sure everything was done well. BFR are one of the few contractors who do what they say, do it well, and aren’t a pain to deal to with (i.e. I didn’t have to chase them around, they weren’t late, they didn’t try to cut corners). Thanks BFR!

Bought a house from bank in as is condition. After a heavy rain, found 4″ of water. Called in RCC, BFR and some other guy. RCC was the cheapest but offered what seemed to be a minimal solution. The 2nd guy suggested a slightly more encompasing solution for double $$. BFR came in and recommended complete new weeping tiles and an internal waterproof system. This was most expensive but made most sense, The flooding stopped but I was still getting moist spots, BFR came back 3 more times to break up foundation and installed sump pump at their own cost. Excellent workmanship and they stand behind their work. First time ever I didn’t have to chase contractors.

About a year and a half ago we had BFR in to repair water seepage into our basement. There were 2 spots that had water flow after heavy rain but generally the basement was damp up until one storm that brought in several inches of water to about half the basement. All the people that we dealt with from BFR were professional in all regards – they did what they said they would on time and on budget. They cleaned up after themselves both inside and out which was really appreciated given how dirty/ messy a job it was. I am VERY pleased with their work as the basement is still wonderfully dry!
