One recent Google customer discovered a foundation crack while selling their house; that customer said the repair passed the inspection, that Bob kept them informed about the process and schedule, and that Dylan completed the repair as promised. A recent customer had two lally columns replaced and said Bob and his team explained what they were going to do, cleaned up when the job was finished and gave a walk-through of the completed job. Before putting a house on the market, a recent customer hired the company to mend 3 settling cracks in the basement wall; that customer said the real estate agent, on hearing Bob Rueter did the work, called him the one she recommends. A recent customer who had three Lally Columns installed said the process went smoothly from pulling the permit to the final inspection, and that they arrived when they said they would. A recent customer who had the company out twice to fix a total of four cracks said Dylan went out of his way to answer questions and advise on other problem areas. In a 2022 review, a customer said Bob stopped an active leak at the seam where the old basement foundation met a new addition, using a two-part urethane injection, and that the area was still bone dry after several storms. A 2024 customer chose the company over 4 other quotes to fix 3 small foundation leaks around pipes; that 2024 customer said the approach was polyurethane foam injection plus concrete, that Kramer was in and out in a few hours, and that a little vacuuming was needed after he left. A 2025 customer said Bob replaced a corroding support pole in the garage with a more durable solution. A 2025 customer with several foundation cracks and leaks wrote that the company repaired them all and that one weekend the basement was bone dry for the first time in nine years. A 2025 r/northampton commenter said the company did a lot of repairs for concrete basements, used only carbon fiber straps on block foundations, and that Bob did good work for them. A 2026 customer said the job looked very good but called the dust a big problem. On Google the company holds 5 stars from 199 ratings, and its BBB page shows an A+ grade, accredited since 2020. The company's website cites licence number CS-109145. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 178586, is active on the state registry. **Strengths:** - A foundation crack repair — passed the inspection while a recent customer was selling - Lally column replacement — a recent customer got a walk-through of the completed job - A smooth permit process — a recent customer said permit to final inspection went smoothly - A dry foundation seam — a 2022 customer said it was still bone dry after storms **Concerns:** - Dust during the job — a 2026 customer called the dust a big problem ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer selling their house said the foundation crack repair passed the inspection, with Bob keeping them informed and Dylan completing the repair as promised _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT20wMVUwMTBkVFIwZFdwNllXWmhObGxrYmtkTWVWRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xbd4eb6b441207de2!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm01U010dTR0dWp6YWZhNllkbkdMeVE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We discovered a foundation crack when we were selling our house.
