    After multiple estimates that were all over the place for encapsulating my 250 sq ft crawl space, Lane from Crawl Space Brothers showed up with an estimate that was half (sometimes more) the price that others quoted. He wasn’t trying to upsell with products I didn’t need. The 2 man crew of Hunter and Jay were super efficient and took less than a day to get the job done. Would recommend them!

    Working with the Crawl Space Brothers was a fantastic experience! Lane and his team were extremely professional and were a joy to work with. We had 6 companies come out to give us estimates and talk through their recommendations - and Lane won us over with his knowledge, follow-up, professionalism, and the lifetime warranty offered with services. We are thrilled with the work, his workers were wonderful with our kids, and they took extra care to keep our home clean as they hauled grossness out of the crawlspace. We are extremely grateful we went with the Crawl Space Brothers and we are so relieved to have peace of mind now that our crawl space is sealed up! Thank you to the Crawl Space Brothers! We highly recommend them!

    The Crawl Space Brothers team is comprised of true professionals who not only perform exceptional work, but who go above and beyond in helping homeowners achieve their desired crawl space goals.They were thorough in every phase of the project, from inspection, remediation and encapsulation, to the finished product. My project could have been stopped or delayed by issues caused by other, previous plumbing work, yet the team not only brought these issues to my attention – they were willing to correct them themselves if the originating party would not.I was impressed with their knowledge of the area and the crawl space needs presented by my location (close to the river/a high water table), as well as their recommendations on what would work best to fix current issues and prevent future ones. I highly recommend working with the Crawl Space Brothers for your home.

    Lane and his team were great to work with. In the initial consultation, Lane struck the perfect balance for me in resolving the issues I had at a very reasonable price point. Others will try to oversell or convince you that there are factors that make the job harder in order to justify a higher price tag. Crawl Space Brothers will manage those factors for you and find an efficient solution.The work team were also very professional. During the final inspection by their team lead Wyatt, he was able to anticipate my feedback, and rectified a minor remaining issue by having the team come back to clean up before I even needed to ask. They left the work site spotless.Id recommend CSB to anyone needing crawl space work done, tailored to your needs and budget.

    The Crawlspace brothers helped seal the crawlspace of our ~100 year old home. After realizing our kitchen was freezing because of a leaky Crawlspace, I called several different companies for quotes. Of the three that visited, Lane with Crawlspace Brothers was without a doubt the most professional and reasonable. Whereas the other wanted to charge us $10k+, the solution offered by Lane was practical and reasonable. A few weeks later, Wyatt and his team came to do the work. They were great! The cherry on top was crawling through the space with Wyatt where he pointed out all the work they did and assured me to call if we still experience any issues. HIGHLY recommend the DC-area Crawlspace Brothers crew with Lane and Wyatt.

    Lane and the Crawl Space Brothers did a wonderful job encapsulating our crawl space in our 100 year old house, rebuilding and sealing the access door. They finished the job efficiently with limited disruption to our household. When there was a short (unavoidable) delay in the middle of our project, Lane communicated with us and came out to make sure the yard and driveway were clean and clear for the days there was no work. On days when they needed access indoors, they worked around my complicated schedule. Work looks great and our house is already warmer! Thanks guys!!

    Great experience with Crawl Space Brothers. I first had another large, well known basement waterproofing company provide a proposal. Their estimator did not enter the crawlspace, just took photos. Crawl Space Brothers went in, did a thorough inspection, and found what the other company missed -- wet insulation behind the vapor barrier on the walls. The other difference was that Crawl Space Brothers does it all -- waterproofing and dehumidifier installation. So I didnt have to deal with a separate contractor for the dehumidifier. The work was scheduled and completed promptly and neatly by a polite and professional team, at a reasonable price. I couldnt have had a better experience. Highly recommended.

    Lane and his team (especially Hunter) were fantastic from start to finish. Wonderful communication on options to solve our issues and throughout the scheduling process. Fast and efficient work once we found a time that worked for both of us and are very happy with the results. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for any crawlspace work.

    I cannot recommend Crawl Space Brothers enough. They did an amazing job encapsulating my Crawlspace which added value to my home and made the basement more aesthetically appealing. They are true professionals and will be referring them to my friends/family.

    Lane and his team were fantastic to work with to help inspect and encapsulate our crawl space. His guys were always prompt, quick, and polite, and did an exceptional job on our encapsulation. We wont consider anyone else to do crawl space-related work for us in the future. Definitely recommend.

    I have a 1950s rancher with a pretty large crawl space, and didnt really know much about them when I bought the house. Since then, Ive done quite a bit of research on crawl spaces, different solutions for improving the space, pricing, etc. So, when Lane came out to the house to do the inspection, I had an idea of what needed to be done and how much it would cost. He spent a considerable amount of time mapping out and measuring the space, taking photos and video, before walking me through the conditions, recommendations, and price. Given the area we live in, his price was in line what what I expected, especially for the amount of work that was needed. I was very impressed with how thoughtful, knowledgeable, and thorough he was, and decided to hire him on the spot. He and James did a great job! They were professional, friendly, and communicated frequently with me throughout the project. I felt 100% comfortable having them in my home. James even pointed out an issue with one of my pipes that was leaking. He cleaned it and patched it up for me until I was able to get a plumber out to replace it. Above and beyond, hard working, up front and honest, and just great people to work with. I would absolutely recommend them (and have already!) to anyone needing crawl space work. I have peace of mind now knowing that the air coming into my home is much cleaner and healthier. Ive also noticed that the floors are no longer super cold, and the house retains heat so well that I have yet to turn the heat on this year! Money well spent. Thanks again, Lane and James! You guys are awesome.

    Not long ago we bought a 1940’s cottage on a crawlspace. The home inspector pointed out that the crawlspace needed work- the openings were letting in some water and the insulation was falling down.Lane from Crawlspace brothers came out and was very professional in hearing about what I knew of the crawlspace. (I’ve explored the space extensively on my own.) He suited up and went into the crawlspace. It’s important to note that this crawlspace is more of a belly-crawlspace than a crawlspace- It is too low to actually “crawl”.Lane spent quite some time under our house and did a very thorough diagnosis. He confirmed the problems we already knew about; The openings need reworking and the insulation needs to be replaced. But he also found signs that the walls of the foundation have some leakage that will require addressing, likely through some kind of French drain and sump pump. This would be a big job, and one he wasn’t sure he has the team in place (yet!) to do. Rather than attempt some of the job, he recommended exploring specialists in installing drainage systems.It takes real integrity to know your limits and be willing to say “no”. Lane told me he only wants to do work that he knows he can guarantee. I really value the honesty and professionalism he showed through the whole process.

    We used Crawl Space Brothers to encapsulate our crawl space. They were extremely professional, communicative, & quick working.If you have any crawl space issues, we highly recommend them! 10/10!

  • Review 14 (2020-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    For anybody looking to encapsulate their crawl space I highly recommend Lane from Crawl Space Brothers. He did a fantastic job on my very messy, smelly, musty, and extra large (approximately 1600 sqft) crawl space. He was very responsive, answered all my questions, and did the job he promised all for a reasonable price. I interviewed 11 companies and it came down to 3 who I felt were qualified and priced appropriately. However, Lane was the most knowledgeable and the only one that immediately responded to my texts and emails. So that made the decision easy.I recently bought my home at the start of the summer 2020 and after the first major rainfall, I discovered how damp and musty my crawl space could get. The smell was horrendous inside the house and my girlfriend couldnt stand it with her allergies. I rarely have allergy issues and this was impacting me too. Our newly installed wood floors were even warping. I typically do 95% of all the repairs, construction, and installation around the house since I grew up doing exactly that on a farm. And farms need a ton of maintenance. So when I investigated what to do about the crawl space smell and humidity, I was prepared to do it all myself.I did my research, watched you tube videos, and priced out all the materials AND tools. I figured I could buy the tools and resell them after I was done. I even bought a full body protective suit and a full face respirator. It was pretty gross down there especially because there had been some raccoons that used my crawl space as a latrine and hundreds of cave spiders called it home. Overall, I priced it out to cost me less than $4,000 to do it myself which also includes a dehumidifier.So with knowledge and cost of materials in hand, I started interviewing companies. I got quoted a range of $5,000 to $30,000. I couldnt believe the swing in prices! The $5,000 was quoted by someone advertising on Craigs List. However, I discovered many reviews of his work on the Better Business Bureau site all saying to stay away. The $30k quote came from someone who was more interested in mold removal and the encapsulation was only a small part of that price. He wouldnt do the encapsulation without the pricey mold removal process. (by the way, there was hardly any mold per 2 mold experts I had come by). The remaining 9 companies all proposed similar work and were around the same ballpark ( $10k to $20k) for the 40 x 40 space.So in the end, my main factors for choosing a company was price, online reviews, who was actually doing the work (I hate when I hire a company and they hire subcontractors they pay pennies to and not oversee their work), were able to complete the job soon, and said all the right technical things based on my research. That came down to 3 companies but I hired Lane for the following reasons. 1) He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions which I mostly already knew the answers to 2) he talked about being knee deep in mud digging out a hole for a sump pump basin. This coming from the guy who owns the company. So that was a major plus for me. 3) He said he would do the job himself since he was still hiring some new help 4) His estimate was very reasonable and was in line with the cost I came up with. I had determined how much on top of materials I was willing to pay someone so I could avoid doing the disgusting and potentially hazardous work myself. And Lanes quote was right on the money. (Remember, DIY is a great way to save money and learn something new, but definitely not at the expense of your own health and safety. Thats when you need to hire professionals who have the right equipment and experience.) 5) Lane was very responsive by text/email and would actually answer his personal phone when I called him.So Im happy to report that my crawl space looks phenomenal and is a dry 40% humidity. My house smells great and no more allergy issues. Plus no more creepy cave spiders. Our many thanks to you Lane.

    Lane runs a great company and is very customer oriented. He quickly replaced a sump pump and revised work under my existing warranty. I’m extremely pleased with Crawlspace Brothers.

  • Review 16 (2022-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    Lane and his team were responsive and very attentive to the quality of the work. Lanes team was timely and did a good job. In addition to personally overseeing the work, Lane came and did some of the work to ensure it was up to his standard. Nice team and quality work. I would definitely use them again or refer them to a friend.

    They were fantastic at every stage. The pricing was reasonable. They worked quickly. Our crawlspace is significantly better than it was beforehand. It has made a huge difference in the daily quality of life in the house.

    If you are looking to do literally anything to your crawl space, stop the search and get these guys. I have used them twice and have been impressed with their knowledge and professionalism on both occasions.

    Very professional and prompt. Informative and thorough. Even though I didnt use them for this job, I would highly consider using them if I had a more serious issue.

  • Review 24 (2022-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    Crawl Space Brothers was awesome. I wanted to get my crawlspace checked out and repaired. Lane and the crew were super responsive, from providing the initial assessment (which revealed some plumbing issues that I didnt know I had and was able to get repaired) to the actual work/install. All the folks were respectful and performed top notch work. Would definitely recommend!

  • Review 25 (2021-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    We could not recommend Crawl Space Brothers more highly. We originally got quotes to encapsulate our crawlspace last year and unfortunately chose the wrong company. They did a terrible job and were clearly not experienced with this type of work. After seeing the great reviews of Crawl Space Brothers, I contacted them. Lane was very communicative and professional from the start. He did a thorough assessment and actually asked us questions about our long-term plans with the home (something no other company did). He made a recommendation that was reasonable and fit our needs without going over the top. Some other companies were quoting us 3 times what Lane recommended. When it came time to do the work they were punctual, courteous, and efficient. We have two small dogs who bark at everything and they had no idea there were workers in our crawlspace all day. Lane then came out to inspect the work and ensure we were satisfied before final payment. I wish all contractors could be as easy to work with as the Crawl Space brothers were. Highly recommend!

    From the first contact Lane and the Crawl Space Brothers staff have been exceptional. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. The estimate provided me was very reasonable and explained to me in terms I easily understood and felt very comfortable with. Great folks to have in your corner and especially in your crawl space!

  • Review 27 (2021-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    Space with moderate sized crawl space that was experiencing some limited pest and moisture/humidity issues during summer. Decided that sealing off was the best way forward and worked with several vendors on proposals. Lane worked with us to find a right sized solution for our problem and our familys budget. Work was completed in a timely manner and is high quality. We are pleased with the results. Would recommend this company to others looking to solve crawl space issues.

  • Review 28 (2021-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    Installed dehumidifier in my crawl space. Took the time to answer all of my questions. Very responsive.

  • Review 29 (2021-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    I reached out to Crawlspace Bothers for advice after a different company encapsulated our crawl space. Even though I had never been a customer, Crawlspace Brothers returned my call quickly, asked questions to better understand the situation, and even provided a recommended path forward. I was so grateful for the professional advice that I called them back the next day about them doing the work to resolve our crawl space issue. Highly recommend their services if you’re looking for expert crawl space work!

    After much research and cold calls on the best way to insulate a crawl space, my daughter decided to hire Crawl Space Brothers (“CSB”) located in Marlow Heights, Maryland. Her home is located in an area of Alexandria that is crawlspace prevalent and the below grade ground can be very wet.When I met Lane White at the initial appointment for estimating the job, his approach and advice was logical, all-encompassing, and better than any other companies’ proposed solutions. Mr. White’s objective was to fix the many years of mold and moisture problems without doing anything that would prohibit or impede any possible future work needed in the crawl space. His goal was also to improve the air quality in the main living area of the house. She was unaware that an inadequate sump pump and improper drainage had led to mold, and so remediation was part of the final project.CSB helped to identify two other problems discovered in the course of the project and was able to correct them ahead of the promised timeframe of the job.We are very pleased with CSB’s Warranty and the opportunity for the company to service the commercial-grade dehumidifier they installed on a yearly basis for a nominal amount.The team at CSB is professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with. The line of communication between CSB and the customer is exceptional. They provided before and after pictures that kept her apprised of the scope of the project and the end result.Without qualification, I would recommend CSB for all your crawl space needs, and would be happy to speak with anyone trying to make a decision regarding hiring CSB.

    Lane came to the house on a Saturday to diagnose a problem with water pooling in our crawl space. He spent considerable time examining the entire space and left me some extra vapor barrier, tape, and hose. I would highly recommend Crawl Space Brothers. I wish they were in the DC area when the original work was done on our crawl space.
