Dr Crawlspace LLC

Portland metro area peeps, if you’ve been meaning to get your crawlspace restored, don’t wait. Get that insulation in. Get those bare dirt patches covered. It’s a good thing for your house health if you’ve got a crawlspace. And if/​when you do so I really recommend these guys. Who better than the specialists who dare call themselves the Dr?
I got bids from 3 companies. One guy spent all of 30 seconds down there, and came back up with a bid almost triple the others, with no explanations. Dr Crawlspace earns its name. After about 5 minutes the owner Greg came back out from that dirty underworld and sat me down with a slideshow on his phone… I realized later, the doc’s diagnostic. He was able to show me the otherworldly blanket of lint from a disconnected (who knows how many years) dryer hose. We had a good laugh. Serious faerie digs. He showed me a post with a couple of bricks for a footing, instead of the cement block regulations called for. Nobody else even mentioned that. Greg was confident he could fix that, and he and his team did.
Greg was able to give me a bid, and so clearly explain what was needed, he already gave better bid than the others. In addition he told me he was going to get a little part from his truck for a temporary fix of that dryer vent hose, which he did. And if I hired him, he would get the right parts so it wouldn’t happen again. The others didn’t even talk to me about the loose hose, their loss… we had Dr Crawlspace do that and replace the hoses (this is a duplex) with rigid ductwork. Because Greg was so thorough, we were reminded we wanted to have that done. I like smart customer service. We also added insulation to our list, and he handled the change in plans easily, even with his right hand man gone on military leave.
Finally, the guys were always gracious about making sure their work wouldn’t allow my indoor cats to slip outside. The best!

I had long known I needed to get our crawlspace encapsulated. We couldn’t store anything down there without it getting moldy, and the air quality was affecting the air in our house. So I started getting quotes from the few places in town that do this sort of work. After meeting with three companies, I felt the best after meeting with Greg Baty of Dr. Crawlspace. Their price was right, and they were willing to do more than the other guys. And Greg was very personable and trustworthy.
I was not disappointed. Greg and his crew did a great job. There were a few surprises that they had no way of knowing about ahead of time, but they dealt with them without nickel and diming me for things. And Laura was great about keeping me apprised with the schedule.
The crawlspace is now a pleasure to enter. It’s completely sealed, humidistatically controlled, and can now be used for storage without any worries. It’s so nice that I may even make it a man-​cave down there!
It was a pleasure to do business with a company that is honest and upfront about everything. I highly recommend them.
