Resch Enterprises

Gorilla wall Braces exceeded expectations. We are home builders and have a full basement supporting my office building (which we did not build). Expansive soils and water loading had caused the walls to deflect, some as much as 1 1/2 inches in several areas. After receiving estimates between $25 and 28k, I was compelled to search the web for another solution. Gorilla Wall from Resch Enterprises provided videos and resources, Andy offered guidance and answers.I repeat, Gorilla Walls exceeded expectations. Being home builders, we installed to system ourselves. I believe anyone with some basic skills and knowledge can install Gorilla Walls themselves, a helper would be a plus. Some walls became straight and plumb once more, others moved to within acceptable deflection with support preventing further movement.I highly recommend the Gorilla Wall Braces product and the team at Resch Enterprises.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of craftsmanship that Resch Enterprises provided with their Gorilla Wall Braces. The team was quick to answer questions and help out with the ordering/design process. I received my braces within 2 days of ordering.The written and video instructions made the installation process a breeze. As long as you are willing to put in a bit of effort and your walls meet the requirements (explained on the site), I would highly recommend this system to fix bowed basement walls instead of paying 4k - 5k+ on a contractor.

Andy and the folks at Resch Enterprises were fantastic to work with and were flexible in meeting my needs. I had a basement wall that was slightly bowing in and their perpendicular Gorilla Braces worked perfectly to partially close the bowing gap and provide significant additional support. My installation was slightly unconventional based on the recommended practices from Resch Enterprises, but a personal phone call from the owner allowed me to work through the details and make sure I was getting a product that would suit my needs. If you are looking for a quality wall brace system for your bowing block wall, look no further! I installed seven braces in about 3hrs time.

Andy Resch runs Gorilla Braces, based in Minnesota, a family owned business. After realizing that I could no longer ignore a short wall in the basement that was bulging in I spent time on the internet and landed on Gorilla Braces. I decided to use this company and ordered the material from Andy I would need. It arrived quickly and best of all it was solid. Well built, definitely capable of handling tremendous pressure.Andy also included a pamphlet showing step by step instructions, which I really appreciated. ( Also all bolts, nuts, and even a drill bit needed for concrete anchors.( It's a SDS bit so keep that in mind)The install actually went way faster than I expected!Also be aware if your floor joist are parallel or perpendicular to the wall you are bracing...as they need different brace.All in all I was very satisfied with the outcome and the interaction with Andy. Good luck on your project; best advice is don't be scared or overwhelmed. You'll save a ton of cash doing it yourself.... (Actual business name is Gorilla Wall Braces)

We received 5 star cradle to grave customer service and support from this amazing company. Found them easily on-line. Purchase process was flawless. Just in time delivery was spot on, they even helped us expedite additional kits in a race for closing on our home. The kits were so easy to install, literally as easy as 1-2-3! Or in our case 1-2-3-4-5-6!! To Andy and all the folks at this small family run business a huge thank you for your support!!!

I have an 80 year old cinderblock basement that was separating on the seems and bowing. I had several contractors give me quotes between 15 and 25 thousand dollars to repair.Way too much money for me so I researched a number of wall brace companies and was immediately impressed with theResch Inc Gorilla brace system. I saved so much money and Andy at Resch was an incredible help answering all of my questions over several phone calls.I HIGHLY recommend going on line and checking out their Gorilla brace and many other products. As far as I’m concerned it is the best wall brace product on the market!

My experience with Resch Enterprises was among the best I could have hoped for as a consumer and do-it-yourself type. The quality of the product, accuracy and speed of the delivery, and their customer service was 5-star worthy. I made an error with the order yet they were very gracious to correct it when I made them aware. Becky was great with that. I’ve often purchased product in my personal and professional life and dealing with Resch restored my belief in American entrepreneurship and a desire to exceed expectations. I highly recommend them.

Resch Enterprises is an incredible company to work with! They are extremely knowledgeable and they are genuinely interested in helping people. They will make you feel comfortable asking questions and they will not stop until your problem is solved.

Purchased seven Gorilla Braces for a bowed basement wall made of brick. These were combined with locally sourced steel beams. I was very happy with the quality of design and construction.Resch Enterprises is family-run and they know basements! They are highly recommended

We had a sewer break which flooded our basement. After stripping everything out, we found 3 of the walls were cracked and bowed. It wasn’t severe, but we wanted to get the problem solved quickly. I found Gorilla Brace, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. I was able to get the basement repaired for 1/3 what a local contractor quoted for a similar product. In the end, my labor was worth over $600/hr. That’s real savings for those of us who have the skills and abilities to get the work done. A rotary hammer is a must, don’t try this with a standard hammer drill. Use a portable band saw to trim the steel (that was the hardest part of this). Rent or borrow the tools you don’t have and you’ll save thousands! My walls were deflected 1-3 inches depending on the spot. One wall was straightened the day of install, the other 2 took a few more days. My soil was pretty soft from excavating the sewer, so that likely helped. The kits include everything you need, there’s nothing to buy except the steel. My package was missing 2 backer plates, but Resch sent them right out with no trouble. Getting this done gives us peace of mind and the savings will go a long way to get our other damage repaired faster. I’m really, really happy with Gorilla Brace!
