Scaldino Basement Solutions has served Princeton, NJ since 2010. I started this company to bring Basement Floor Lowering service to NJ homeowners who wanted work done without overpromising or shortcuts. We assess your property, plan the work correctly, and execute to the agreed scope. That is the standard I built this company on, and it applies to every project we take on in Princeton.
Floor lowering in Princeton, NJ starts with an engineer-signed plan set that documents existing conditions, proposed excavation depth, and interim wall support. We do not bid this work off a phone call because the variables — wall type, footing spread, soil stability — have to be measured in person. Scaldino Basement Solutions brings the crew, the equipment, and the documentation to make floor lowering a completed permit package in Princeton. Homeowners get usable height, we get a clean inspection, and the structure keeps its load path intact.
