Leaky Basement Waterproofed Grez in North yorkeg Vichod
We had one wall along the driveway that was leaking. We chose to go with City Wide Group because of their reputation. They removed our old asphalt driveway, waterproofed the wall as per their estimate, and relayed the asphaly. My wife and I would never suspect that there was such a large excavation done. Very clean and professional. I wish all contractors operated like these guys!

Basement Waterproofing Tom Wong in North york
I have recently hired City Wide to provide waterprofing service to my North York home. My decision to hire Harry and his crew is based on a comprehensive review of reputable waterproofing companies and ratings from consumer agencies such as Consumers Choice Award and Homestars. After a thorough examination of the completed work, I understand why City Wide was the receipient of Consumers Choice Award year after year. The job was really well done with attention to details. For example, the area was carefully regraded to ensure proper drainage, shrubs were trimmed and replanted, gates were reinstalled and carefully realigned to ensure proper operations, and the entire area was thoroughly cleaned up with no debris left behind. Harry and his crew have also installed additional waterproofing coverage to ensure the leakage problem is adequately addressed and installed a new window well to safegauard against water leakage through the window. All these additional jobs were done without extra cost to the customer. Their desire to do the job properly and doing it right the first time demonstrate that they truly have the customers' best interest in mind. Thanks Harry.

City Wide completed an extensive waterproofing project on my house. The team worked tirelessly for 9 days, arriving everyday att 7:30 am and working til after 5pm. There was a lot of landscaping/interlock which had to be removed and replaced which was done to perfection. The work team also did a coulple of repairs which were not in the contract. They went over and above the call of duty to make sure that everything was satisfactory. Well done! and Thankyou..

City Wide Group exceeds expectations on all fronts. Professional from the moment you call to the moment they complete the job. Pricing rationale is well explained, a thorough and accurate quotation is provided and a hard working, responsible crew executes the job. In and out on time and right on quote. The worksite looked cleaner when they left then when they arrived. Will have no hesitation whatsoever in having City Wide Group do more work on our home when needed.

Yesterday City Wide Group completed work to waterproof the basement of our 80 year old home. From our first contact with Harry, to the work crew being onsite, through to seeing the final product - we have been impressed. Harry responded quickly to our request for an onsite assessment and quote, spoke to us in plain language, helped us made an informed decision and made sure the work was done right and within the agreed upon timeframe. For anyone reading this review - know that I have never taken the time to actually provide public feedback in this manner. Our experience with City Wide was exceptional - it truly met our high expectations.

All previous feedback was homestars was right on!! Chris and his crew did a fantastic job. I am very pleased with the quality of work and clean-up performed by his crew. These guys will leave your place cleaner than when they get there. I I had 130 year old home foundation waterproofed. While we ran into some unexpected work, Chris worked with me to make sure that my concerns were all addressed. His crew even did additional work that was not in scope (filled a trench that I previously dug) It is very important to let Chris know right away when you have any concerns as he will do fantastic job managing your expectations.

Foundation Waterproofing Charlie in Bridlewood
Over the last couple of months we have discovered foundation leaks in two different areas of our house which is about 50 years old. The first time we picked City Wide Group out of the internet. Harry arrived promptly to give us a quote. His crew arrived when promised and did a very thorough job ... on time and on cost. When they were finished they cleaned up and the site looked like nothing had happened there. Harry waited a week before coming back tho collect his payment ... in case there were any issues. When we discovered a second leak on the other side of the house we called CWG again. Chris (Harry's son) came by to quote ... and we had the same excellent experience all over again. They deliver on time and on cost ... and their crews are friendly, hard working and thorough.

Waterproof stone foundation of 90 year old house Edward in Toronto
CWG did an excellent job to waterproof our 90+ year old house with a stone foundation. The crew was extremely diligent, friendly, and they cleaned up the site at the end of each day and left it the same as before when the job was done. Harry personally came to the site several times during the project and for the final inspection. Frank, the crew leader, was great at directing his team which worked so efficiently and effectively that I was amazed at how organized and disciplined they were without tripping over each other. Harry was very reachable and answered all of my telephone calls and questions. Our neighbor had a concern about the work being done at our house and Harry quickly came over to meet with them and explain how the job was being performed. Frank and his Polish crew was fantastic and by the end of the project, I was speaking a bit of Polish that I learned from them! THANK-YOU Harry, Frank and his team for protecting our 90 year old foundation which I am certain will last for at least another 90 years!

waterproofing basement Ciprian in Ajax
We have a crack in the foundation wall which leaks whenever there is a heavy rain. My concern with the waterproofing job was that the work on the side of the house meant taking out the interlock pavement and stairs, taing apart my flower bed and putting it back again after work is done. Chris and I discussed the options and set up the date for the work. He estimated the work would be done in three days. The crew actually finished the work in two days, Chris sent out additional crew members to ensure they finish the work as promissed, by Saturday. I specifically asked for this so I can be at home to keep an eye on the site. Jacob, the crew leader explained to me all the steps and called me out to see the progress. I was very happy with the work, profesional, clean and they have done all I asked for. After less than 36 hours, my basement wall was sealed (22 ft long), weeping tile replaced, interlock pavement and flower bed in place, the site was cleaned up and does not even show that we dug the whole thing up 3 ft below the surface. Highly recommend these guys!

Chris at CityWide Group, Inc. was helpful and professional from the first phone call about our basement leak. He answered all questions clearly, quickly returned calls and emails, and was punctual with scheduling. His crews were efficient, quick and very neat, and they dealt well with neighbours. CityWide's quote was in the range of quotes received, and they have proved to be worth every penny. I selected them out of 10 quotes, and highly recommend them. Chris was very good to work with and he clearly knows his job well. Also, we made some changes and adjustments along the way, and Chris was always helpful, informative and accommodating. Thanks, Chris!

Wet basement fix Jill in Ajax
I purchases a 'newer' house in Ajax approx. 3 months ago. Since we purchased the house, we knew there was a leaking foundation crack that had to be dealt with. We had City Wide come out to give us an estimate before we moved in. We waited a while to have the leak fixed, and just recently had them out to do the repair. I am happy I went with City Wide, as they met, and went beyond my expectations. They were within the range of quotes I received, but felt most comfortable with them.

City Wide came in on time and on budget. They are quick to respond to any concerns and extremely upfront and honest. They're price was somewhere in the middle of all the quotes we received, but i'd sooner spend a little bit more and know all will be taken care of. I'm sure the other guys would have surprised me with additional costs. Don't cheap out when it comes to your foundations! The customer service and quality of work was extremely professional. We actually had neighbors thanking us for hiring such a pro crew who respected their properties during the 6 week project. Definitely recommend.

waterproofing Robyn in the Beach
City Wide Group Inc. did an exceptional job of our waterproofing project. After having water leak into our basement during heavy rains, we received several estimates and chose City Wide to complete the work based on their thorough approach. The job started in a very timely manner after we received the quote and was also completed sooner than we expected. Having witnessed the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail over the course of the job, we can absolutely testify to the fact that the work was done well and all problems were rectified. Waterproofing the perimeter of a home requires a considerable amount of disruption to the outside landscaping elements close to the house and City Wide group left the work site in impeccable condition throughout the course of the job. In the end, everything was put back together to look the same, if not better, than it had originally. Since completion of the project, we have had record rainfall this Spring but we have not experienced any further issues with water in our basement. We are confident that our water problems have been rectified and City Wide's lifetime fully transferable warranty only adds to our level of confidence. Dealing with Chris and his team was a very pleasant experience from start to finish and they impressed us with their professionalism and expertise. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to any one in need of an expert waterproofing job.

Waterproof Basement John in Toronto
After recent rains, we had a wet corner of our basement. Steve came promptly and was very helpful assessing the problem and explaining what needed to be done. Very professional in his dealings. Once we agreed to use City Wide, Steve and the crew took out the damaged carpets, cut out moldy drywall and cleaned up right away. The next couple of days were spent hand digging around the back and sides of the house down to the weeping tiles and waterproofing from the outside. They went the extra yard to make a french drain 10 feet away from the house to take the downspout well away from the house. The worksite was kept clean at all times. The only issue was they used an old plastic pipe I had to take the water out to the french drain. When I expressed my concerns, Steve and the crew came back and replaced it with a proper 4"PVC pipe. The area was reseeded and grass is starting to grow back. Steve says they will come back to check the worksite in a few months. While making the repairs, we asked Steve to do a little work in the basement removing some cabinets and drywalling. The work was done well and his guys were great about moving some heavy items around the house while they were here. Overall, very good service.

Weeping tile excavation John in East york
Their work seems competant, but customer service was poor. They were slow providing quotes, they failed to do work they verbally agreed to (not on the contract), and they lost a house key I gave them to use while the work was underway. Considering their quote was higher than most, I feel I got poor service for the money spent. Next time I will likely look elsewhere.

Chris came to inspect our basement while we had the carpet pulled up and he was honest that our basement showed no reason for waterproofing. We were very impressed by his honesty. It's great to know that people are looking out for other people and helping them save money where they can. Honest, friendly and informative.

Basement waterproofing Perfect from start to finish Julie in North york
We had some water seeping into our basement during a snow melt. Harry from City Wide came over and gave us an estimate to correct the issue. My husband and I felt confident with him and his company, so we had them come in the following week. Joe and his crew showed up on time, and did a very clean job in the cold weather. They put back our interlocking stones, and left our property just as it was prior to starting. Overall I give them a 10/10 and do not have a single complaint.

Chris and his team are incredibly customer-focused and efficient; plus their prices are comparable as we got competitive estimates on our last project. I would definitely recommend this company to my best friend and family members. Even Chris' mother was helpfully friendly in the office. Ask Chris for my phone number, and I can give you more details over the phone, if you like.

Chris & gang were GREAT!! Paul C in Etobicoke
Internal Waterproofing We recently hired The City Wide Group for interior waterproofing of most of our basement. Their quote was competitive with others, but they seemed to explain things better. Chris explained exactly what they were going to do so we could understand. Jacob, Mark, Andrew, Wesley and Calvin started right when expected and worked very hard all day on one of the hottest, most humid days this summer. They were courteous, friendly and answered all our questions throughout the process. They also cleaned up everything when they were finished. They didn’t even mind me taking pictures periodically for our references. They also returned a few days later to spray the walls with an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial cleanser to ensure no future problems with any mold or effervescence. Very thorough!!
We highly recommend this company for their waterproofing and we have also hired them to rebuild our basement back to a liveable state after the waterproofing.

City Wide is just the best-bar none. Peter in North york
Water proofing Waterproofing is open heart surgery for the house. For something serious as this, one has to do their due diligence. Let's face it, I did not know anything about waterproofing but I am good at reading people and I liked the fact it was a family business, who take pride in their work. Dean, Chris and their cousins were just absolutely great. They were clean, courteous, on time and very competitive. What more can you ask for? Don't take my word for it, interview them for yourself. If they can please a picky, detailed SOB like me, others will not have any problem with them. Good luck!

Chris and His Crew were Professional and Thorough Lou in Toronto
waterproofing We interviewed a lot of other waterproofing contractors (eight, actually) before meeting with Chris. He explained the process they employed and was frank regarding our options. He was professional in disclosing all of the work that was to be done and prompt in notifying us as to when his crew would be available. His price was competitive with other quotes we received, and we felt that the amount asked was in keeping with the work to be performed. We gained the impression that City Wide would be responsive and would honor its time lines.
City Wide's crew was professional, courteous, and neat. They arrived on time, explained the work as it progressed and worked quickly to complete the job. Their thoroughness extended to re-seeding the grass along the patch of lawn along the front of the house and bagging and hauling away excess earth. They also managed to work around our brand new retaining wall without needing to dismantle or cut into it (steps that other waterproofing contractors insisted would be unavoidable).
Great work, City Wide! Thanks for taking the headache out of waterproofing!

Lynn was great Cherron Hayes in Richmond Hill
Waterproofing Basement My neighbour had CityWide do his basement waterproofing, my nephew needed it done and I called Citywide, Harry was more than prompt and examined everything and gave me a written quote, my nephew had it done and was very happy. I then needed the same job done and called Lynn, who is the best person to deal with in a company at the front that I have ever dealt with. we did have some problems and as many times as I called I was certainly made to feel that my problem was important and that both Lynn and Harry were doing everything to fix it. The job was done exceptionally well and thanks to Walter who certainly takes his work and job seriously. Thank you everyone SR Richmond Hill

Peace of Mind Grace in Toronto
Waterproofing I recently contacted Harry for advice to deal with another waterproofing contractor we had engaged whose work quickly became a source of enormous stress & concern for us. Harry & his son Chris were very generous with their time, offering immensely practical & detailed advice on how to mitigate the damage that was being done by this work which had already started & could not be fully stopped without resulting in nasty litigation. Life lesson learned from this experience: it pays to spend the extra bit of money front end to get peace of mind on work as significant as waterproofing. City-Wide offers that peace of mind. Our next waterproofing job will definitely be with them.

Couldn't ask for better! Sherry in East york
Waterproofing Basement This company is really amazing! Right from my initial phone call to receiving my warranty certificate, everything was executed to a "T"!
The secretary was very nice and took down my information. Chris called me when she said he would. Chris arrived on time for our initial meeting, he definitely knows the business inside and out, I was quite impressed. After receiving a couple more quotes, CityWide was right in the middle as far as pricing goes. I decided to go with them based on their reputation in the business and more thorough process of foundation waterproofing.
The crew arrived to conduct the work on the date (and time) Chris had told me. Right from the begging of the job, the crew took time and care in preparing for the manual excavation. I could tell they take a great deal of pride in their work. The did an excellent clean up and I couldn't be happier!
Thank-you CityWide, you are truly a great "group" of people!

City Wide Exceeded Our Expectations BE Ave/Lawrence
Waterproofing When reading the recommendations on websites its hard to know how much is truth and how much is fiction. City Wide has received great reviews, and we now know why.

We highly recommend City Wide.

Exceptional Customer Service and Results Patricia M. in Toronto
Weeping Tile Replacement I used the City Wide Group to resolve basement water issues that I had with a house that I purchased a year ago. The house is 60 years old and had an outdated weeping tile system. I was able to meet with Harry, who outlined all steps involved, and estimate for the time that they work would take and the cost. They were able to start 1 week later. After the first day that the work was started, I arrived home to witness a very clean, and minimally disrupted area where the work was being done that included tarped areas. The work was completed within 2 and 1/2 days, and when done, I was impressed with the fact that I hardly could tell that a major excavation had been completed around my house. They even hosed down any dirt in the front area and driveway. There was minimal disruption to the neighbour’s property since the space in between the 2 houses did not leave a lot of room to work and they were able to preserve the neighbours trees. I was happy with the work that was done, the professionalism and hard work of all their workers, and the ease of the whole process. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs this type of work completed.

Waterproofing I recently hired City Wide Group Inc. to do waterproofing in my basement. They were super fast and professional. They did extra work beyond the scope of our contract with no extra cost to me. Their service was superior and the work was beyond my expectation. Most importantly, this company has a "moral conscience"; their employees stay with them for 30 years, which tells me City Wide treat, their employees well. I recommended them to my friends. They are the best of the best. Cris (owner) please accept my sincerest thanks and gratitude for a job well done.

Absolutely the right choice! James from Midtown Toronto
Underpinning the house for a habitable basement. Best decision made. This is a huge undertaking. Underpinning is a type of job not to be given to anyone. Choose very carefully! City Wide was prompt, gave a timely quote, started when promised, presented costs for additional work I requested during the job. There were no surprises in the end. The crew that worked with us treated our family and home with utmost respect, got the job done right and well beyond expectations. Issues come up during a job of this magnitude, City Wide are great problem solvers, they are all gentlemen and I would recommend them to you. City Wide is as professional as they come. They have the proper underpinning insurance and carry all the proper credentials. Pricing is a tad more but you get what you pay for. I also requested additional work outside of the contract along the way. Radiant floor heating, furnace installation and some needed plumbing. Well tackled. Our family thought moving was our only option for more space, we did not want to build an addition because we love our garden. MLS Listing fees and percentages coupled with the land transfer tax would add up to more than this job cost. It made sense to have this project completed. Well worth the investment! Thanks Chris and Harry and all the gents on the crew. If you think I am gushing... I am... I just know too many people with absolute horror stories of underpinning gone wrong. Good luck!
ps. great warranty too!

I will happily recommend this company experiencing a wet basement like mine.
Thanks.

Basement lowering I am a General Contractor myself, so am quite critical of others in the industry. Prior to engaging City Wide I interviewed 2 other small residential contractors. Both provided quotes that were completely unreasonable, and totally unnegotiable. Then I met Harry. He knows his stuff, he is quick, efficient, client-satisfaction centric, and his crew is exceptionally respectful of the fact that they are working in a house that people are living in. The job was cleaned every day, and the site was very safe.
Through the process there were a couple of changes. Harry and I negotiated completely reasonable and amicable terms on the changes and the job was completed in record time. Start to finish - 9 days.
Harry is a contractor's contractor and I would recommend his company to anyone. Don't take the chance on the guy with no insurance and a promise of doing the work for 10K. You will be sorely disappointed.....not to mention, your house may fall down.

Great job Happy campers
Waterproof basement City wide was a very competitive quote amongst all of the businesses we contacted, and the job was done efficiently and with great speed.
The clean up was also excellent and the crew was friendly and normal.
Communication issues were a little bit wonky, but after several efforts we got things done. Recommended for waterproofing.

CityWide was excellent! Jasmine in Leaside
Waterproofing Basement CityWide has just completed waterproofing job. In the past I have had a number of contractors do similar work for me on similar homes. None can compare to the timely and professionalism of work completed around my entire home. My property looks better then when they started. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who has an interest in taking on future waterproofing jobs.

CityWide Group got the job done! Tom W in North York
Waterproofing Wet Basement I had originally from my sister, who hired them to lower her basement. I decided to contact them to estimate my waterproofing problem. They showed up on time, and presented me with a reasonable quote so I gave them the go ahead.
They were booking approx. 2 weeks out, and showed up on the date outlined in the contract and commenced work the same morning. I cannot say one single bad thing about the company or the work they had completed. They tarped over everything, kept me informed as to what they were doing, and stored their tools neatly every night. At the end of the job they did an excellent clean up and I have not had any water in my basement since.

Excellent Work Joanna and John in East York
Basement waterproofing and new chimney Our 80+ yr old house had water coming in through the basement and a chimney that was about to collapse. Harry and Chris from City Wide Group came by and explained what needed to be done. We had such confidence in them we didn't even bother with another estimate! The workers were polite, professional, tidy and tireless. They were on schedule and done in no time at all. The results are excellent. We definitely will recommend them and will be calling City Wide for our next renovation job! Thanks guys!

Cleanest dirty job I've ever seen! Patrick in Rosedale
Foundation waterproofing I was experiencing a very leaky basement in my 80 year old home. Chris from CityWide Group arranged to come over and assess the situation. He was very helpful in explaining what may be causing the leak and what action was necessary to correct it. The estimate was within range of a couple other quotes I had gathered, so I have him the green light to start.
The crew arrived a week later, on time, as promised. Let me tell you, I have NEVER seen men work so hard and restless like the crew they had sent over. They were so clean, that they would tarp over everything at the end of each day and neatly store their tools in the back yard. Once the job was complete, my interlocking driveway looked better then before they had started. My basement has not leaked since and it has been over a month since completion.
Thank-you CityWide for your services, I will gladly recommend you to all my friends and family.
