About the company

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • WTX Foundation Repair added New Mexico entry and West Texas expansion on February 18, 2026.
  • Groundworks’ 2026 Stevie growth award validates branch expansion and employee-retention messaging.
  • Homeowners’ rising repair backlogs keep demand strong for waterproofing, foundation stabilization, and crawl-space work.

What critics are saying

  • BBB logged 782 complaints in three years as of September 7, 2026.
  • OSHA fined Groundworks Colorado $198,893 for trenching violations; safety lapses invite repeat penalties.
  • Aggressive rollups depend on acquisition integration; a failed plumbing-like service standardization would crush margins.

What makes Groundworks unique

  • Groundworks spans 84 offices across 45 states and Canada after WTX on February 18, 2026.
  • Matt Malone’s employee-ownership program gave nearly 5,000 workers a $31 million dividend in 2026.
  • Groundworks sells directly to homeowners with free inspections and proprietary foundation, waterproofing, and leveling systems.
