Eddie Ross Construction

.

Very pleased with te work. Might be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, quality work done well. I would recommend them.

These guys are fantastic! It's a family business, consisting of Eddie (the father) and two sons, plus one other employee. They are all honest, reliable and hard-working men. They were kind and thoughtful, and absolutely professional in the 1.5 weeks we dealt with them. At our request, they were particularly mindful of our cat, so that we could prevent his and quot;escapeand quot; during all of the entering and exiting required, while not confining him to a single room unless absolutely necessary. We called Eddie Ross Construction because we had made three previous attempts to address our damp basement problem, and instead of fixing it, the solutions other people offered culminated in making the issue much worse. 1. Water was flowing near our front door, leaving a wet ground spot that iced over in winter. So, water was re-routed to other side of house, which caused flooding in neighbor's drive (and made sump pump work too hard to push out water, so... 2. Second person called in to route water to street. They attached a pipe underground to do so, but strangely enough, no water ever came out other end. We found out this was because they used a perforated pipe (placed at the wrong angle), which cause ground to be perpetually wet a few inches below grass. Furthermore, the water was flowing back toward the house, so... 3. Third person came and suggested a dehumidifier to counteract the increasing damp we were experiencing. We were unaware what the ramifications of the above three procedures were, but we knew the problem was getting worse, not better, so we FINALLY found some true professionals. Enter Eddie Ross Construction. They did all of the work we listed in the and quot;Services Performedand quot; section of this review, all the while explaining why and how things had gone wrong before. In fact, it was because of these previous and quot;fixesand quot; that we needed so much rock fill, because the ground was so saturated, that whenever they would dig, the mud would collapse and they had to make the trench deeper! It was messy, hard work, but these guys were up to it. They even managed to save a favorite Rose of Sharon bush that was right in the midst of all this construction. Our front yard is small, and the location tight (on a busy highway), but they managed to get their heavy equipment in and out and maneuver it all like a well-choreographed dance. It was amazing to watch. These guys met challenges head-on and solved them quickly. One challenge was that they had to work with another group when it was discovered that our water meter needed to be moved and an underground pipe replaced. The two groups worked out logistics efficiently and helped each other to get it done. The next challenge was when the hot exhaust from the machinery melted a bit of our siding. This was a hazard that simply could not have been avoided, although it was unexpected, as the work site was extremely tight. The guys let us know right away about that problem, and immediately offered a solution to how they would fix it, which, of course, they did. You'd never know now that it had happened. Value-added service: - Added sturdy, stylish handrail per our request (which they procured) - Suggested a new mailbox to fit our sleek, new front-of-house look, which they procured for us and expertly attached to the house - When replacing long front sidewalk, suggested we align it with front door, instead of slightly off-center as the old one had been To sum up, these guys treated the job, and our home, as if it was their own. They took extra care to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be. We cannot praise them enough for their professionalism, and we finally have real solutions to the problems we had been dealing with. The basement is perfectly dry, the sump pump does not struggle to push water out, and the front of the house looks great!

I usually don't take the time to give anyone a review but he deserves it, I trust him, which isn't always easy to do. He gave me a receipt, everything was on time, he'd catch me before it started raining and do the work. My yard looks entirely different!
