I highly suggest Top Course!Posted on Google Jessica ReinartzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top Course Masonry did a fantastic job with repairing my foundation at an AFFORDABLE price. They excavated all four walls of my house providing me pictures of the step-by-step process. They kept me fully informed of all the progress each day of the week and half long project and showed patience with all my questions and concerns. They fixed the deterioration in the foundation walls, provided a seal coating and an additional insurance layer of water repellent. They explained how to examine the whole ecosystem surrounding the home to divert water from entering. We addressed proper grading, landscaping, and water management. They also did a wonderful job installing 5 basement windows that were in need of significant masonry repair. I cannot say enough positive comments about the Top Course guys. I wish I could give 10 stars out of 5.. Outstanding people with a great work ethic, moral compass, and they also provided me with a good recommendation for a company to rebuild my stairs. 100% would recommend them to all my friends and neighbors!!Posted on Google Tom CitrinitiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a large foundation repair project and are so glad we went with Top Course Masonry. The work was done quickly, professionally, and to a high standard. Paul was great to work with—communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!Posted on Google SpanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his crew were fantastic. We had a crack in our foundation that caused water infiltration issues to our finished basement. Paul and his team were able to fix it via injection. They were all very professional, and did exactly what they said they would do. Very pleased overall. Thanks!Posted on Google Shannon SitlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Paul and Top Course Masonry. We have an addition on our home with a block foundation and there was some shifting of blocks due to drainage/freeze and thaw cycles over many years. The shifting was pretty small and there was no evidence of structural issues yet, but we wanted to address it before it progressed. We had several contractors come and insist our only option was complete foundation wall replacement and give us quotes that were incredibly expensive. Paul came in with a more open mind and asked more questions, looked for closely at what the actual issue was and was able to confirm that the complete rebuild was not necessary yet and gave us some middle of the road options to consider. Paul was prompt and detail oriented and easy to schedule the work with. When it came to doing the work Paul's crew was also great. They made the foundation repairs, took care of the property and worked with a sub contractor to bring in landscaping components as needed. It was a pleasure work with Top Course Masonry and I'd recommend them for foundation repairs to anyone!Posted on Google Elise RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100%+ satisfied! Top Course was one of four estimates I received for a cinder block foundation repair. In my first meeting with Paul, I immediately had a sense of confidence that he has the requisite experience and knowledge, and was qualified to handle any surprise that might pop up. I like the fact that he specializes in foundations and basements, so he's seen it all. He was great with communicating regarding the scheduling, and he and his sons did an excellent job. No regrets and I highly recommend!Posted on Google Bob FoleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his crew at Top Course are skilled tradesmen who go about their work in a profession and friendly manner and did an excellent job waterproofing my foundation. Paul came in, analyzed the situation, proposed a remedy, provided a fair and timely quote and worked with me to address some issues that needed to be resolved before the work could start. The work was then begun and finished on schedule and Paul communicated with me at every step of the process. Now that the work is done I know I made the right choice in working with Top Course Masonry.Posted on Google Darlene DiamondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Paul and his sons are great to work with! Recently had a leaky foundation issue. They skillfully repaired the problem saving me thousands in future damage. Very responsive and always punctual.
The goal isn’t just drying the basement once, it’s preventing the same moisture issue from returning. Our basement waterproofing in North Greenbush focuses on controlling the pathways water uses to enter the space.
Every home has different foundation materials, joints, and stress points. We inspect the basement carefully and recommend a waterproofing approach that matches the construction and the symptoms you’re seeing.
Moisture can ruin stored items, stain walls, and damage finishes over time. Waterproofing helps protect the basement so it stays more usable and easier to maintain.
We explain what we found, outline the solution, and keep the project organized. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage and what results to expect.
Heavy rain, snowmelt, and changing soil moisture can all increase water pressure around foundations. That local awareness helps us deliver more effective basement waterproofing in North Greenbush.
Waterproofing depends on proper prep and correct materials. We focus on careful installation so the solution holds up and continues working over time.
Some basements need targeted sealing, while others need drainage improvements or sump support. We look at the full issue before recommending the best combination.
We protect the work area, keep the project moving efficiently, and answer questions clearly. Our goal is results you can trust without unnecessary disruption.
Top Course Masonry Inc. offers annual follow-up support for homeowners who want continued confidence after waterproofing work is completed. These visits can help confirm that treated areas remain secure, identify new moisture patterns early, and review any drainage components for proper operation. Follow-ups are especially helpful after major weather events, when basements can reveal new stress points. With continued support available, you can stay ahead of small concerns and keep your basement protection performing long-term.
We inspect the basement for seepage indicators, crack locations, staining, and damp zones. This helps us identify likely entry points and determine the severity of the moisture issue.
We recommend the best waterproofing approach for your basement’s construction and conditions. You’ll receive a clear scope of work, the materials involved, and what performance you should expect.
We complete the waterproofing work using proven methods and careful application. Afterward, we review the finished areas with you and explain what to monitor in the future.
Common signs include damp spots on concrete, staining near the base of walls, peeling paint, or a persistent musty smell. You may also notice white mineral buildup on masonry or rust forming on stored metal items. These symptoms often show up before a major leak occurs. A professional inspection helps confirm the cause and the best solution.
Yes, moisture can enter around pipe penetrations, joints, or small cracks near utility areas. Even minor seepage can raise humidity and create long-term wear on nearby materials. Waterproofing can target those entry zones and reduce recurring dampness. We evaluate the area and recommend the most effective approach for that specific condition.
Waterproof paint may improve appearance temporarily, but it usually doesn’t address where water is entering. Professional waterproofing focuses on sealing entry points, managing pressure, and improving drainage when needed. That’s what creates dependable performance over time. We recommend solutions that solve the cause, not just cover the symptom.
We look at where moisture appears, how often it happens, and whether it’s tied to storms or seasonal changes. If water pressure is building outside the foundation, drainage support may be necessary. If the issue is localized to a crack or joint, sealing may be sufficient. The inspection helps us recommend the right level of work.
The timeline depends on the basement size and the type of waterproofing solution needed. Targeted sealing and crack repair may be completed quickly, while drainage or sump-pump installation work can take longer. We provide a clear schedule before starting so you can plan around it. Our team works efficiently while maintaining quality.
In many cases, musty odors often come from persistent dampness and elevated humidity. When water entry is reduced and surfaces stay drier, the basement typically smells cleaner. Waterproofing also helps limit conditions that allow mildew to develop. The key is controlling moisture at the source.
Yes, even unfinished basements benefit from moisture control. Dampness can damage stored items, encourage mold growth, and affect air quality throughout the home. Basement waterproofing in North Greenbush helps protect the foundation and keeps the space more reliable for storage and utility use. It’s often easier to address issues before they worsen.
It helps to clear stored items away from the walls and provide access to the areas where moisture is most visible. If shelving or boxes are tight against the perimeter, moving them back protects your belongings and speeds up the work. We’ll confirm any specific prep steps during scheduling. The goal is an efficient project with minimal disruption.
