Scaldino Basement Solutions Incorporated

What Scaldino Basement Solutions Incorporated does

Scaldino Basement Solutions Incorporated is a privately held, founder-owned residential contracting company headquartered at 41 Murray St, Rahway, New Jersey, founded in 2010 by Nicholas Scaldino. The company delivers basement waterproofing, foundation repair, sump pump installation, crawl space encapsulation, exterior drainage, concrete leveling, and egress window and cellar door services to homeowners across 10+ New Jersey counties and Staten Island, with a smaller commercial concrete leveling offering. Its core technical offerings center on branded proprietary drainage products (GrateDrain French drain systems, GrateSump basin systems) alongside third-party-branded components (Bilco cellar doors, carbon fiber reinforcement systems, steel I-beams, lally columns), deployed by certified technicians and backed by transferable warranties.

The business operates on a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Each engagement is custom-quoted following a free on-site inspection; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by scope, property conditions, and required solution. Revenue is generated one project at a time from individual residential customers, with no disclosed recurring contracts, subscription revenue, or enterprise customer concentration. The go-to-market is built on direct field sales, a content-driven website with hyper-local SEO landing pages across dozens of NJ municipalities, prominent phone-based lead capture, and a financing partnership with Hearth that enables customers to spread payments for larger projects. The company is a member of the Basement Health Association and its local Chamber of Commerce, and operates with a team of approximately 16+ identifiable staff including project managers, office personnel, service technicians, and crew leaders.

There is no evidence of external investment, private equity backing, or M&A activity; ownership and operational control remain concentrated with the founder. The company has no subsidiaries, no disclosed patents or trademarks, no app or API surface, and no AI/ML capabilities. Its competitive positioning rests on a 20+ year regional reputation, transferable warranties, local soil and water-table expertise, and a multi-service portfolio that allows it to address a broad range of below-grade and foundation issues for NJ and Staten Island homeowners.
