Northern States Basement Systems

Title: Head Foreman

I joined Northern States in 2015 at the age of 20, eager to learn more and expand my skills. As a second generation American. I learned early, the value of hard work and perseverance.

Watching my father immigrate with nothing and successfully raising 5 children, instilled in me a strong work ethic and a drive to build a better future.

I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands – fixing, building, and solving problems. What started as a desire for hands on work has grown into more than a decade of construction experience. Every day brings new opportunities to learn, which remains one of the most fulfilling parts of my career. I especially value the chance to work directly with homeowners, helping them retore and protect their homes so that they can live safely and comfortably.

Outside of work, I love traveling and exploring new places, spending time with friends and enjoying the outdoors.

Clean, courteous, on time, aware of their surroundings, good communication and knowledgeable in their jobs. In an area where contractors can so often be unprofessional this group was just the opposite. Said what they'd do, and did what they said. I'd call again without reservation.

I looked up basement waterproofing on the internet and found this company. They had a rep come to my house and give me a free estimate. Scheduling was a breeze, and when the crew came, the work was completed very quickly. The work looks good and the crew did and excellent job cleaning up after the project was complete. The crew was very professional and polite. Overall, I am very satisfied with this company
