Description of Work: Mudjacking. Good quality but it took us a long time and many phone calls for them to come and do the work.

Description of Work: Cleaned and flushed our screened roof gutters. We were not given a definite time for the service call; rather, we were told that they'd "be by sometime in the next week or so". They apparently came by while we were out of town. Had to wait for the next rainstorm to verify that there was no water cascade over the front door, thus demonstrating that the gutter was no longer clogged. Communications were vague, but the job got done.

Description of Work: Put new gutters and downspouts by front door due to ice jams. Worked perfectly. Also, mud jacked sidewalks and drive way. Turn out great but in near future will have to have some parts redone due to more settling.

It went fine.
Description of Work: Tomlinson Cannon cleans our gutters twice a year - once in the fall to clean out leaves and once in the spring to clear the maple seeds. They do a great job. I have used them for many years.

I requested that my gutters be cleaned last fall. In February a cleaner knocked on the door. I said I had expected him months ago. He said they were "running a little behind."
Description of Work: I can't see my gutters, so I never know how well the cleaning is done. I haven't had a problem when they do it in a timely way--before winter. They were 4 or 5 MONTHS late.

My gutters fell off the house. When I called them they came out and told me that they had originally put them on and that it would be replaced for free. They were actually guaranteed not to fall off. No money exchanged hands and the work was done the day after they came out. They did a pretty good job. It would be hard to improve on the job that they did.
Description of Work: We used Tomlinson Cannon Cole for gutter repair.

The walls haven't moved a fraction since then. I have a colleague who is picky and was also happy with the work they did. There was a lot involved in the job, a fair amount of time and I thought the price was fair. They had specialized equipment on the job and the workmen seemed to be very knowledgeable about what they were doing with the whole system. They really seemed to know what the were doing, what made it work and had the physical strength to do the work and made it work. You couldn't just turn any kind of labor loose on this work. We also called them for gutter replacements. They do a lot of things and seem to be a real competent shop.
Description of Work: We had a couple of pillars and a wall that moved. Tomlinson Cannon Cole put a fitting under the foundation that has moved, then drive a heavy steel pipe under the ground until it hits rock or has friction with the ground then the fitting starts moving up. When everything gets where they want it they take the hydraulic pipe away and set it in place.

We moved into our new "old" house in the summer of 2004. The previous owner assured us the basement was dry. The first big rain storm caused the basement to flood with 4 inches of water! I had used Tomlinson Cannon for new rain gutters on the house in August, 2004 and was happy with the work, so I called them for an estimate on the basement waterproofing. The representative came and gave me an estimate and we set a work date. The workers came on time every day and completed each stage as promised. They cut a "moat around the perimeter of the basement on the first day, then installed drainage tile then filled in with concrete to level with the existing floor on the second day. Workers were in and out in 2 days as promised. They were courteous and cleaned up after themselves. This was a really messy, dirty job, but I was so happy with the end result. And our basement has not flooded since!
Description of Work: Drain tile installed around perimeter of basement to prevent flooding.

It's been awhile since I had this work done, but I remember it as a good experience and I am very happy with the result. Because of the steep pitch of our roof, we needed larger gutters and downspouts. TC came for an estimate one day after I called. The work was set up for the following week and completed in one day. All material was cleaned up and our yard was left as it was before they came. I really like these guys. And I think they have fair prices.
Description of Work: Replace gutters and downspouts. Remove and haul away old material.

We were gathering estimates for several repair jobs to our home - mainly installing a waterproofing system in our leaking basement, piering some sagging mid-beams, and piering a foundation wall. TCC came out to look at the house and give an estimate. The guy was not very friendly or talkative, no eye contact, etc. Said he needed to come back with his plumber to look at moving some pipes for the mid-beam work. Never came back, never returned my calls.

It didn't.
Description of Work: I know it's unfair to rate the entire experience on a failure to return a phone call or three, but TCC had come highly recommended, and I was misled and let down. The man who returned my call set a date, never showed, and has not returned a call since. The foundation damage and brickwork I'll pay for will be a lasting legacy to their failure to return a call. Considering how much they will have cost me I feel justified in giving them an F in all areas.

Met on time. Looked over the building and spotted many cracks that I hadn't seen. Agreed to spend up to $800 to fix cracks starting with most agregious and moving to least severe until $800 is used up. Actually spent ~$700. Also, took good care to match colors. Would use foundation repair service again. During the quoting process, per his suggestion, I allowed him to look around all association property to provide quotes on other items.
Description of Work: Caulked many cracks on a 3 story brick building for a condo association.

Not well
Description of Work: Requested quote and agreed upon a time. Had to take off of work some to make appointment. Never showed. Called and said that couldn't wait anymore to HQ operator. Later got a call from person who was supposed to meet me requesting that I call him to schedule an appointment. He acted as if the first flip-up and previous agreement had never taken place.
