They did a great job. I couldn’t even tell that they were here. It was excellent. What stood out to them that keep me coming back to them is their efficiency and never concerned after they walk out, the job is done completely and that’s the reason why I call them when I need them.
Description of Work: I used Tomlinson Cannon to fix a crack in my basement wall. They also did some drywall and they also did some spring to make it all fit and match.

The work went very well. They were in and out in 4 hours job done. The only issue we had was there truck had an oil leak, minor considering how quickly they got the work scheduled and completed within 2 weeks.

They did an excellent job and the work is guaranteed for life of the house. We just had a 5-inch rain here about two weeks ago and I noticed a slight drip in one of the cracks. I called them back up and they came right over and added a new injection to solve it. They said if you have any other leaks, you call us and we will be right over.
Description of Work: I have used Tomlinson Cannon Cole for filling cracks in my basement foundation. I had two rather significant cracks in my basement foundation and water was pouring in, so they drilled holes in the cracks and injected epoxy compound into the wall.

Everything went fine. Quality work, cleaned up nicely, and even returned my hidden house key, which I had left in one of the removed downspouts. Forgot all about it. All in all, a super job.

Great job. Took a few weeks for them to get to this job (in part due to lots of rain in June). However, once they were able to get to the job it was very well done and reasonably priced, In fact, TCC was less expensive than a competitor who wanted to run new unsightly drainpipes above ground rather than connect to existing underground drainpipes. Would highly recommend Tomlinson Cannon Cole again for this service.

Small job so it took a while to get on their schedule. Once that happened, everything went smoothly. Lots of DIY kits for $100-$200 available but the expertise of the installer and using metal, high pressure (grease gun) fittings insures long-term success in my view. Worth the extra cost over DIY. BTW - Tried to do this review from Angie's list's e-mail I received but got system error so do your reviews from the web site.
Description of Work: Sealed basement crack using Polyurethane Foam. Like Gorilla glue. Water activated. Used grease gun to inject it into fittings inserted in drilled holes. Lifetime guarantee is transferable when house is sold. Seals crack but doesn't harden like epoxy so if there is a little shift, it stays sealed.

basement waterproofing

The two installers arrived promptly and even a little earlier than the scheduled appointment. Holes were drilled close to the cracks and a substance was injected up into the cracks up to the height of the soil level on the outside of the house. This substance goes all the way through the cracks. When water hits it the substance it is supposed to expand like a foam to prevent further water from coming in. The installers worked efficiently and answered all the questions I had as they were working. This company offered a lifetime guarantee on their work. As this company has been in business for a long time we felt comfortable with the fact they should remain in business should a call-back be necessary. Since the work was done we have not had any large amounts of rain to tell if the cracks are completely sealed or not. But thankfully there is no more wet areas at the base of where the leaks were so hopefully we can get new carpet padding to replace what we had to pull up and have that remain dry. Update Spring 2014 -- happy to report basement remains dry with the rains we have had this spring!
Description of Work: After heavy spring rains we discovered two cracks in our basement foundation where water was coming in. After getting estimates from two other companies, we decided to go with these folks as their technique was more appealing to us. They injected a substance into the cracks to seal them.

I contacted Tomlinson Cannon Cole for an evaluation and an estimate. They said anchors would pull the two block stair well walls in place. They showed up on the agreed date and time and placed 3 anchors in the two walls. They explained what they did and what I could expect and were professional in their work. The block walls were pulled back in place.

They came and checked out the big crack, gave us an estimate. They showed up when they said they would, repaired the crack, and were gone. Best of all, they truly fixed the problem.
Description of Work: We had a significant crack in the west wall of our basement where water was seeping in due to improper grading of the soil, an area that was hidden under our deck. Tomlinson Cannon Cole guaranteed their work and repaired the crack. They suggested that we fix the grade of the soil under our deck, which we chose to do ourselves - and did. Since their repair and our grade fix 17 years ago, we've had not one drop of water in our basement.

It's really nice to deal with an honest business who would rather help us solve our problems than take our money. It's probably a sign they are busy and have been duly entrusted with bigger projects. I will definitely bookmark this firm for use in the future if we encounter bigger problems that require their services.

They are very popular in the area, but I was not impressed with them at all. They came and wrote the quote on a piece of paper, which had no other details other than the price. The owner was unable to make it for the estimation, but he never represented the company appropriately. They failed to give me the details of the job and didn't seem interested. He never followed up after that, which made me decide not to hire him. There was another person, who came to look at the gutters for some work, but never responded. They never called me for the gutters nor did they give me the bid. I will never use their services in future.

The worker did a terrible job, placing the gutters about a foot from the corners of the building where they belonged. He claimed he put them there because there was a plant in the way ( a small hosta) He refused to fix them. He was rude and possiblly intoxicated. He had a small child with him at the job (10-11 years old) and he allowed her to handle a drill. The company claims that their mission is to serve God so I think they should be priests, instead of gutter installers, because the work was shoddy and they refuse to make it right.
