Gold Seal Waterproofing

Gold Seal Waterproofing works out of Auburn, the kind of one-truck operation a homeowner calls for a wet basement, a cracked foundation wall, or a sump pump that finally needs replacing. BBB records list the company under owner Paul R. Beauregard — also doing business as DMS Construction — with the business running since 1985, putting four decades behind the name. Every review that surfaces names Paul directly, not a dispatched crew. In one from this June, he patched a foundation gap in a 1910 house and left the homeowner ready to call again for more waterproofing work. In April, another customer praised him for being straight with them: after finding the job complicated by ledge rock, he laid out the options and pointed them toward other contractors rather than force it through. Google shows a clean 5-star average, though it rests on just seven ratings — a short track record, not a long one. The company also operates under the name DMS Construction, worth clarifying when getting a quote so the paperwork matches who's actually doing the work. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade, but Gold Seal has never sought BBB accreditation itself — a real grade, just not the accredited badge. One directory even files it under "Masonry Contractors" rather than waterproofing, a mismatch worth noting but not one that any actual review disputes. This reads as a small, owner-run outfit suited to a focused basement or foundation repair rather than a large multi-crew renovation — worth a call for a leak or a crack, with the understanding that the online track record is still thin enough to check with a direct reference or two before booking.
