They provided an estimate free of charge even though at the time we had not yet closed on the house. The grading went smoothly and I am pleased with the result. Slightly expensive. I was expecting a little more grading being done on the back side of the house, but not a huge issue.
Description of Work: Graded three sides of our house.

We had concerns that it wasn't done good enough since we thought the soil needed to slope downward away from the house and there was an area where it didn't look like it was sloping down so we called them to come back and they redid it. It looked like it went down more. The good thing is that it was done in the fall and we have had rain, ice, and snow, and the basement is dry so it looks like we have good results.
Description of Work: They dug out a window well, used concrete blocks to close the window opening, waterproofed and backfilled the area. They also took out soil and graded it for drainage.

Exemplary. Mark Keys was the representative we worked with. He was prompt for our initial appointment and very knowledgeable. Estimate was provided in detail promptly. The workers arrived as scheduled. Worked their tails off and got the job done in record time. They cleaned up after themselves and hauled away all of the debris. Found this company on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Excerpt from estimate "Remove the concrete porch slab, support columns and block walls and haul away the debris. Remove the window and frame north of the walk out door. Remove deteriorated stones around the window. Bring in new stone to close the window opening and stones on sides of window. Use new brick as needed to fill in space left by porch slab removal. Tuck point open mortar joints on east side of house. Install new brick where bricks are missing on east side of house. All stone and brick work will be done using a good grade of cement mortar. "

Generally very good. There were some issues that required my involvement, though this happens on all jobs involving home repair. The homeowner is ultimately responsible for overseeing their projects.

Very professional, whatever they said they'd do they did, and I was totally happy with their work. Very careful when they were in the yard, told them they could use the chairs, and they used them and always put them back. Very considerate of clean up as well.

I am very pleased with the work/attitude of this company. They responded to my request for an estimate promptly and Mark Keys was very friendly and professional. We discussed the potential causes for the crack and potential solutions. We decided to take the simplest solution first (repair the crack) and would wait to see if additional work would be needed. Mark stated that if the crack recurred that we could discuss the more expensive solutions and he would not charge me for another crack repair. He seemed to think that would not be necessary. Mike (sorry no last name) showed up at the time promised and did the outside excavation and repair. He said he would come back the next day to finish after the materials dried. Two things really impressed me. First, Mike was conscientious enough to call me and let me know he would be 15 minutes late arriving. A pleasant surprise. Second, his cleanup work was excellent. You cannot tell that there was a hole dug outside!
Description of Work: Fixed crack in basement foundation. Excavated on outside wall to base of foundation and patched crack from outside. Also patched crack on inside of wall. Completed work, filled in the excavation hole and replaced landscaping materials.

He dug down and found the leaking pipe (after digging 5 1/2 feet down) that was leaking right against the wall of the house. They then said they don't do the plumbing work. I called a plumber and then the next day, Grant Renne came back and put all of the dirt back and even re-installed the bush that was where they dug out.

I THINK THEY DID A FINE JOB. THEY JUST FIXED THE HOLES AND CRACKS SO THAT THEY CAN'T BE SEEN. TO STOP THE FOUNDATION FROM SHIFTING AGAIN THEY PUT UP STEEL BEAMS TO KEEP THE HOUSE EVEN. YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL HOW GOOD THEY DID UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE PASSED, BUT THEY WERE CONFIDENT THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SO I BELIEVE THEM.
Description of Work: THEY PATCHED ALL THE HOLES AND CRACKS IN THE HOUSE'S FOUNDATION AND ALONG THE BASEMENT WALLS. THEY ALSO BRACED THE WALLS WITH STEEL GIRDERS SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
