We provide comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions including interior drain tile systems, sump pump installation, and exterior waterproofing membranes. Our approach prevents water intrusion through foundation walls and floors while addressing existing moisture damage.

Mike came out to my house today to help diagnose some movement Ive been noticing with my sliding glass door, and figure out why Im getting cracks in my drywall and foundation blocks. He was the 4th professional Ive had take a look and I really appreciated his approach. A few of the other companies that came out used scare tactics to get me to sign a contract as soon as possible and he did nothing like that which made me feel like I was in good hands and getting an estimate I can trust.

I spoke with Tony at Christian Brothers Construction. He called me after I left a message with the company. I really appreciated that he reached out and we had a good conversation about my project. Tony was a good listener and was thoughtful and professional in discussing my needs. I definitely recommend them.

I hired CBC for one job but it turned out it wasn't needed so I worked with CBC to handle two other concrete and block jobs we needed done. They came on time and completed all the work in a professional manner. The work afterwards was all cleaned upand we are very happy to recommend for anyone looking for quality work. Thanks ,

Tony and his team did an awesome job. We had 4 jobs that needed to be done; a chimney repair, a foundation repair, a garage apron replaced and the garage floor epoxied. Each of the jobs were done on schedule and per the quoted price. All the work looks great and everything was picked up at the end of the job. From the beginning Tony was readily available and kept me updated. We had a small issue after the job was completed (no fault of Christian Bros) and Tony took care of it. The work they did exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend Christian Brothers to friends & family
