They did an excellent job at very fair price and were easy to work with. They went the extra mile in asking our opinion and offering to make adjustments in response to our suggestions. Would definitely hire them again.

Basement waterproofing in Auburn township. Professional crew and Boss Joe. Good equipment & safe workers Did a great job Can't tell they were here. I'll call them for my next project. I give them 6 stars.
Jacob Houser
Let’s start by stating that we were extremely impressed with the entire job completed by DiFranco Contractors at our home! This is our first home, and when we discovered that our basement wall was bowing in, we were very apprehensive in selecting a company to handle the repair work. John and his crew went above and beyond throughout the entire process! John was very communicative which helped set us as at ease, and the way he and his crew paid attention to the minor details helped us feel confident in the work they were completing. When they left, you couldn't even tell that they were here; if anything, the side of our house where the work was done looks better than it had before their arrival. We still aren’t sure how we got so lucky in selecting DiFranco Contractors for the job! We would highly recommend them to anyone, and we will be using them again in the future.
Here are a few photos of the work.
