Description of Work: I asked to be contacted about waterproofing our basement. They did respond quickly. However, they said that all decision makers of the home must be present during the inspection. This is a classic sales technique to try and bait the customer into buying services they don't need. I told them I'm the decision maker and my wife would not be involved but they said that can't happen. I told them I was done with this call.

Response from Value Dry Waterproofing
Dear Angie's List Member, ValueDry appreciates your feedback. I understand that you may feel home improvement companies have taken advantage of you or others in the past. Unfortunately this does happen, however it is absolutely not a business practice of ValueDry. We require all homeowners to be present during our free inspection unless there are treasons that make that not possible such as deployment, geographical limitations, etc... We do this so we can educate all homeowners about our customized basement waterproofing solutions, answer any questions they may have about the different solutions, explain associated warranties, and yes outline the costs for the solutions collaboratively decided upon by all homeowners. In addition, since we are addressing foundation seepage and indoor air quality issues it is important all homeowners are aware of implications related to the waterproofing system we design together as well as the installation process and associated procedures. Yes, ValueDry seeks to EARN your business because we are a thorough and straight forward company. For ValueDry and the basement waterproofing industry it should be regarded as a respectable business practice that we meet with all homeowners for the inspection. We offer evening, Saturday, and even Sunday inspection times to make this fit the schedule of all homeowners whenever plausible. ValueDry does not require all homeowners to be present for unfair or unethical sales technique purposes. We do not persuade customers into purchasing products they don't need. We educate and design our solutions collaboratively with all homeowners precisely for that reason. Best of luck with your project, I'm sorry we were unable to meet your inspection scheduling needs. Regards, James Ketterer - President

Description of Work: Value Dry installed large patch on my basement wall to stop water from coming into my basement. Only gave a 5 year warranty on their work, since I would not let them do additional work inside the basement to obtain a life time warranty. Workers were on time and completed task in six hours. Excellent job, very professional. But I still feel that based on material used to do job, price was a little steep for digging a hole and putting a patch on the wall.

Description of Work: Angelo arrived right on time for our appointment. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and took the time to examine the problem area - both inside and outside and explained what he would recommend and why. He had samples of the materials that would be used and, as far as I was concerned, went above and beyond in answering our questions and explaining the detail. I met with several contractors and after interviewing, I had narrowed it down to Valu Dry and one other company. In the end, I didn't go with Valu Dry due to price. They had a comprehensive plan of action but it was beyond what I was able to spend.

Description of Work: I haven't picked a service provider yet to do my basement waterproofing, but I will compliment them on their estimate and inspection process. Very professional, no pushiness, made me feel like i should consider my options and really think it through. If and when I do my work I will almost certainly hire Value Dry

Description of Work: I contacted the company for a potential issue with my foundation. The customer rep was very courteous and knowledgeable and provided valuable information. He explained to me that although his company could not help With my specific issue he could offer some guidance on where I could go to get my problem addressed. He also did a great job of explaining possible reasons of why I was having issues and was very patient and making sure that I understood. Although I did not use this service I will definitely keep them on file.

Wonderful experience.
Description of Work: They were very professional. The guy looked at my basement and determined I did not need waterproofing services. He suggested a couple of things I could do myself to previous the little bit of water I was experiencing in my basement. I did what he suggested and so far it has remained dry. He did say if it didn't work to call them back and they would make futher rececommendations. I appreicate his honesty. He could have charged me a lot of money and done work that was totally unnecessary (the way another company tried to do). If I ever need someone to evaluate or fix my basement water problem, I will call this company.

Description of Work: I had a 3:00 appointment and they called to say they'd be 30 minutes late. They showed up at 3:51 (21 minutes after when they said they'd show up) and I had to be somewhere soon. When I talked to them about it the guy just made excuses as to why he was late and did not take responsibility for being late. He still offered to look inside, but we declined because we had somewhere to be. Not a good first impression.

Response from Value Dry Waterproofing
To all customers, We are glad to perform an inspection and assessment for you. The best way to do this effectively is for all parties to participate in a collaborative consultation. This requirement is of benefit to you, and is clearly explained to all customers before scheduling an inspection. Here are the main reasons for this important requirement: 1) Frequently, we are inspecting problems and/or proposing work that may involve the foundation of your home, or other structural considerations. It is important for all parties to know what is going on. 2) Sometimes, there may be health hazards to discuss. You may need to participate in a conversation that involves health-related decisions. Depending on the nature of that discussion, you and your inspector may decide on one approach versus another. It would not be professional for the inspector to conduct this type of discussion without all parties. 3) Most customers want their inspector to help figure out what type of work should be done. As a construction company, we may have more than one type of solution for you to choose from. You will be able to discuss and evaluate the solution types with your inspector. The type of work that you select may be different from what another customer with a similar case may select. Understandably, all parties will need to be involved in order for this conversation to be productive. 4) Your inspector will be able to customize a scope of work that takes your priorities, concerns, and plans for your home into consideration. Since we are customizing a specific & unique scope of work for each client, it is important to get input from all parties. There will be multiple decisions for you to make during the design-of-work process. We want to make sure we get it right for you. After experiencing our careful, detailed, fix-it-oriented inspection & assessment, most customers appreciate our friendly process. To accommodate your schedule, we have inspectors available Monday thru Friday both daytime and evening, and Saturday & Sunday mornings & afternoons. Thank you, Matthew O’Neil Senior Inspector
