Justin S, Ian B, and Marty did an excellent job here at our home! Their professionalism, cleanliness and work ethic should be an example among many companies! If you’re looking for a solid company from the sales team down to the crew these are the guys 10/5.

James W, Matt D, and Jeff T did an outstanding job with our IntelliJack install. They worked efficiently, staying right on schedule, and the quality of their work was impressive. They took the time to give us a thorough walkthrough of their process and the completed installation, answering all our questions with professionalism and clarity. Highly recommend this team!

Tar Heel Basement Systems is a great company! Of course we all know a company is only as good as the people who represent it. And I must say, Jagwon and Stanley who installed my basement system clearly are proud of their product and of their company. These two men arrived on time, were extremely polite and courteous, worked hard and very fast to give me (the client) the best job possible. Jagmon spent the necessary time with me to answer all my questions and kept me in the loop so I knew what all the steps were and why they were important. My only regret is I only have one basement to do. But you can bet I will be telling my friends and neighbors where they must go for solving their basement issues…Tar Heel Basement Systems!

First I met with Jeff about Crawlspace encapsulation. He discovered 2 rotten floor Joice. Replacement of those as well as encapsulation was very reasonable. They sent out Andy and Elijah who were very efficient and considerate. The other half of the space was an open basement area. The main front wall was so wet mortar was easing out. Jeff recommended a french drain with a pump. Edward and Jeremy were not only respectful but explained every step . Thank you Tarheel Basement Crew !!

I contracted with Tarheel Basement Systems to place a drain system in my basement which has been damp and gross for years. Robbie, Terrence, and Keaton were prompt, courteous, and efficient. Robbie explained the system in a way that I understood. After they were done they cleaned up thoroughly. The process from start to finish was well-managed and there were no hidden charges or pressure for add-ons.

This company did a crawlspace encapsulation for us. The work is top notch and it only took 3 days. Everything was thoroughly explained to us. This company takes care of everything including debris removal, electrical outlet installation, and sump pump installation. Brian C and John C worked on our house and did a fantastic job. Thanks.

After having some questions on work that was done here at my home Montrell and Victor came out and answered all my questions and even looked deeper into the issue. Could not have been more professional when they were here.

The guys just wrapped up at my house today. Tylor, Andrew and Stephen did a great job. They were prompt, communicated well and were happy to answer all of my questions. Corey was quick to come out and get a plan of action, which was much appreciated. With remodeling my home I’ve found it’s rare to have a great crew that executes as planned, arrives when scheduled, and leaves things cleaner than when they started. Tar Heel has just that. As a whole they have been a pleasure to work with and I have no complaints. Excited to have peace of mind when it comes to my basement.

I had just purchased a property and needed work on the crawlspace. Pete came out and did the initial inspection and explained everything thoroughly. We scheduled our service and then Ray W, Justin U, Greg H, and Eduardo Z came to do work and were extremely professional. At the end Ray walked me through everything they had done for an overall great experience!
