Overall everything went well. They are expensive, but seemingly not out of line with what other companies are charging. There was a 6-8 week wait before the work was done which was the most negative factor. Materials and workmanship seem to be of high quality. The crew worked very had in not very comfortable conditions to do the installation.
Description of Work: I had a very wet and muddy crawl space. They encapsulated the crawl space and installed a sump system and dehumidifier.

Initially, communicating with the company after the contract was signed was deplorable. There apparently was only one person who could schedule projects and contacting that person was very difficult; either she was off for the day or on the phone or away from her desk. Leaving voicemail messages was useless since she did not return the calls. Since the project scheduling hinged on the contact, getting it booked, then rebooked was frustratingly irritating. My initial start date had to be rescheduled, but no one called to let me know. I found out when, while waiting for the crew to arrive and them being a no-show, I called to find out when they would arrive. It was then I was told my project had to be moved because of a previous job going overtime. A part-time staffer was blamed for not calling me to reschedule. This was just getting my project started. There were other issues that prolonged the experience that I won't go into, but it took longer than expected to finish my project. The work crews were pleasant and professional and their work is excellent. It's the office staff that is the bottleneck. In all, the job was done well and I was compensated for the issues, but it was a stressful experience. I would use them again since their work is good, but I would make arrangements for bookings before signing a contract. If there are issues after that, talk with the owner directly since you're not likely to get a prompt response from the office staff. Although, I was assured that those issues had been corrected.

Dillon Lewis, DeShandre were very enjoyable to talk to and they worked very hard. Whenever we asked a question, they always took time to answer. They come during a rainy period so they had a lot of water to contend with. Very professional. So far so good on no water!

They did a good job and worked hard but they seemed to charge me an extra hour and a half at $150 an hour to dig out my crawl space. This doubled the cost of the service and they broke some conduit from some outside wiring that I now have to fix.

It is a good company. I thought they were very professional and they were very good. The price was average. I would absolutely use them again. In fact when I get back, they are going to put in a floor for me.
Description of Work: They came in and serviced some sump pumps for me. They serviced four pumps on each end. They cleaned the pit out. They checked everything to make sure everything is working right. I had a dehumidifier filter changed.
