Customer's reviews
My house was very old and located in downtown Toronto, it has three levels and the neighboring houses are very close together. Even so, they managed to renovate my basement—they lowered the floor, reinforced/underpinning the structure, and finished it beautifully.

I had no idea basement underpinning was such a complex process, but watching the VMB team work made it clear they are true experts who know exactly what they’re doing. They also provided the best quote I found involving registered engineers. Thanks to them, I now have a fully renovated basement that's ready for rent. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend! They are incredibly hard-working and responsive. They did a perfect job with the basement lowering, underpinning, and waterproofing on my 70-year-old house in downtown Toronto. No problems at all, I am very happy with their work!
