Phil Pitters, Inc

Description of Work: We hired them to do raise our brick front porch and replace cracked paver patios on the front steps.

Description of Work: initial experience was good. Then city inspection discovered the paper between the sidewalks & driveway approach was not to code (the code was on my driveway permit, which he did have a copy of). His repair of this violation consisted of saw cutting out the 4" paper, then inserting the 6" paper per code, then he used foam insulation and caulk to fill in the gap. It looks horrible! My contract did not call for any foam insulation or caulk. Fortunately , I still owe him money, which he will not get until the repair is made properly. I get a statement maybe once every 4-6 months about the balance due, I keep sending it back with statement "when the proper repair is made, I will pay balance" there is never any response back. all emails have been ignored. spring of 2013 I am noticing quite a bit of pitting in the driveway now.

Description of Work: We had top soil delivered on 5/12/12 to start the replacement of our entire front lawn; 10 yards of dirt. As we started to spread it out onto the front lawn, we kept finding plastic debris and LARGE pieces of glass throughout. We called the company and spoke to the owner's wife who came out to inspect. (days later) It then took another 3 days for them to remove/replace the soil. We had hired contractors for the holiday weekend(5/26-5/28) and as work began, the new top soil also had large pieces of glass imbedded. We called the company yesterday(5/29) and were promised a return phone call by the end of the day. We are STILL waiting. I called the office today and was told "Phil is pouring concrete and won't answer his phone" and "his wife is off today and won't answer her phone". Nice customer service! In the meantime we have two mountains of "garbage" sitting on our front lawn. I guess I'll have to make make sure my kids don't play barefoot on our lawn from here on out!

Description of Work: Phil Jr. came out to price the job. He gave us a decent price for a porch and two bay foundations for a major renovation to be started in the spring. We agreed to have it done and he said they would be there the next week. I called for two weeks to see when they would be here. Finally I said we were going out of town and I wanted to be there when it was done. His crew showed up to start digging the very next day. And poured the cement late at night in total darkness after I had said we should wait until spring. I had to draw it out on the ground for the people that did not seem to know where it should go. And still the foundations did not match the drawings. His "mason" set new bricks on the porch area that had to be removed and re-done. The forms and plastic were left on all winter, the drips down the sides of the brick from the cap is still there. I must say, after two squirrels did a tango on the fresh cement, I called their office, they sent someone out immediately to smooth it out and to and cover it. The weather had suddenly become very cold. we could not work on this project now until Spring Then the bills came in, we couldn't understand them at all. Except for the fact that the bill was almost $2,000 more than the original quote. (including $400 I had agreed to for a larger foundation than quoted). They explained their confusing bill that we still don't understand, but we said we would pay it, although they still had buildup the bays with blocks. We also got a letter from one of their suppliers, threatening to lean our house for unpaid for materials. As far as we know, the bill has been paid as we have not received further threats. They promised to finish that in the spring. I have called them several times to see what they would be willing to do about it. No one has ever called me back. I have had the work repaired and completed by another company.

Description of Work: I had called them for an estimate for some masonry work.

Description of Work: We used Phil Pitters Inc. 3 years ago and to put in our driveway, back patio, back steps, front porch and walkway, and front lawn.

Description of Work: We used Phil Pitters Inc. to seal the exposed aggregate patio.

Description of Work: They came out to give me a quote on doing some work on a chimney and replacing some bricks.

Description of Work: I was replacing a failed gas air conditioner with a new energy efficient electric air conditioner. I needed a new concrete pad ASAP .I wanted it at least 6"thick so it would be above grade and near the house. Mr Pitters had it installed within two days and did the job exactly as I wanted. I did not obtain any other quotes since I had heard that he was reasonable and reliable.

Description of Work: He came out and strongly recommended that we tear out a new gas grill which had recently been sunk in concrete. He wanted us to tear that out and have it repositioned because he wanted to eliminate a step down from our patio. We wanted him to just do our patio, but he wanted to eliminate the step. We offered him the job and I emailed him asking about a border to put along the patio. He emailed back and said "it would be very expensive". He made me feel like he didn't want to do the job.

Description of Work: He put in a patio paver for me about 10 years ago. The patio is sinking.
