Editorial Review

Our Take on BOCCIA - Waterproofing & Masonry Specialists

A family firm with a patented drainage system and engineers on staff, and the strongest engineering story among the contenders. The catch is geography: the yard is in Nassau County and the site lists only northeastern Queens in the city. Best for older Queens and Nassau homes where the cause of the water needs diagnosing, not patching.

What We Like

  • Patented Dryedge Floor Guard drainage system, installed since 1986
  • Family business since 1955, now in its fourth generation
  • Licensed Professional Engineers on staff, including Vincent Boccia
  • Own site lists Queens neighborhoods and DOB filings among its services
  • 4.8 from 134 Google reviews, with BBB A+ accreditation stated on its site

Things to Consider

  • Based in Garden City Park, Nassau County, roughly 10 to 15 miles from the Queens neighborhoods it lists
  • Site names only northeastern Queens, not Brooklyn, Staten Island or Manhattan
  • Warranty is advertised as lifetime but the terms are not published, and several reviews cover masonry rather than waterproofing

    Terrific work from planning to execution. Excellent communication throughout with the project managers, masons and office. We used Boccia for indoor waterproofing and outdoor masonry. Do not hesitate to call them for any task they offer.

    Kudos to Mauricio and Denise!!! I can’t say enough good things about this company and the work they did for us. We had a water intrusion issue in our basement, and from the very beginning, they went far beyond simply treating the symptoms. They took the time to identify the problem, explain what needed to be done, and make sure everything was addressed properly. They installed a French drain, properly sealed the basement walls, addressed and sealed the cracks where water was getting through, and took every necessary step to prevent future water intrusion. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail. They didn’t just come in, do the minimum, and leave. They took pride in the work and made sure everything was prepared, repaired, sealed, and finished the right way. Their professionalism, workmanship, communication, and commitment to doing the job correctly were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure we were protected from future water problems, and the finished work exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find a company that truly stands behind their work and cares about doing things the right way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with basement water intrusion or looking for quality waterproofing work. They didn’t just fix our problem—they took ownership of it and made sure it was done right from start to finish. Thank you to the entire team for the exceptional work!

    very professional. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of mold remediation and to fix the root cause of the problem. Very clean, neat, efficient and knowledgeable. Mauricio is an expert in his field and explained everything thoroughly. I am very confident that we will no longer see any water in our basement or any mold in the future.

    I recently had BOCCIA Waterproofing & Masonry Specialists complete waterproofing work in my basement, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the office staff was friendly, professional, and always available to answer my questions and keep me updated throughout the process. The BOCCIA team took the time to thoroughly inspect my basement, explain exactly what was causing the issue, and walk me through the recommended solution in a way that was easy to understand. They were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure all of my concerns were addressed. The crew was timely, hardworking, and treated my house with respect. They kept the work area clean, communicated with me throughout the project, and completed the job with great attention to detail. It's clear they take pride in their work, and the quality really shows. If you're looking for a company that is honest, professional, and truly cares about its customers, I highly recommend BOCCIA Waterproofing & Masonry Specialists. The entire team made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth, and I am extremely satisfied with the results.

    Really just excellent. Showed up on time and completed all work as promised. So much work in a crawl space, wow they were great. Neat, clean and completely professional.

  • Andrea Acevedo5.0

    Boccia did two seperate jobs for us and we were extremely pleased with the outcome. No more water in our basement and our front stairs came out beautiful (we get lots of compliments). Michael Boccia, his crew and even the office personnel are very professional and reliable. I highly recommend this company.

Company Background

About BOCCIA - Waterproofing & Masonry Specialists

BOCCIA - Waterproofing & Masonry Specialists holds a patent on the drainage system it has installed in basements since 1986, a hollow kick molding that sits along the foundation wall and sends water to a sump pump below the slab. The current version is called the Dryedge Floor Guard, and it sets this company apart from contractors who resell someone else's product. The firm is a four-generation family business. Ray Boccia started it in Elmont in 1955, and it moved to 168 Broadway in Garden City Park, Nassau County, in 1984. Its first major waterproofing job, in 1965, was at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point.

The company's own site names Queens as a service area, with work in Forest Hills, Bayside, Little Neck, Whitestone, College Point and Douglaston, and says it handles the permits, inspections and Department of Buildings filings that come with working in the five boroughs. The base is in Nassau County, roughly 10 to 15 miles from those neighborhoods, so expect a drive rather than a corner-shop visit. Services include interior French drains, exterior foundation waterproofing, sill plate waterproofing, vapor barriers, crawl space waterproofing, egress windows, foundation repair, and commercial facade, parking garage and stucco work. Vincent Boccia is a licensed Professional Engineer, and his son Michael, a civil engineer, joined in 2024.

Google shows 4.8 from 134 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026. Reviewers describe clear explanations of what caused the leak, tidy crews and responsive office staff. Andrea credits Michael Boccia and his crew for a dry basement, and Sean hired the firm a second time after the first job, noting that other quotes cost more and covered half as much. Several reviews concern stoops and masonry rather than basements, which fits the firm's dual trade but means fewer reviews describe waterproofing alone.

BOCCIA suits owners of older brick and block houses in northeast Queens and Nassau, and building managers who want an engineer involved. It suits less well anyone who wants a quick low-cost patch, or who lives in Brooklyn, Staten Island or Manhattan, which the site does not list. Before booking, ask for the written warranty terms (the site advertises a lifetime warranty without spelling it out), confirm the proposal covers the full perimeter, and ask who pulls the permits. New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor licence from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection for residential work, so check the contractor's status on nyc.gov. New York State has no waterproofing-specific licence.
