THE ESTIMATOR GAVE US A FULL, UNHURRIED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THEY WOULD DO, AND HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE. THEY WERE RESPONSIVE, VERY PUNCTUAL, AND PROFESSIONAL. THEIR PRICE WAS VERY GOOD (WE RECEIVED 4 TOTAL QUOTES). IT WAS A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE IN ALL RESPECTS.
Description of Work: PHILLIPS INSTALLED 10 I-BEAMS TO BRACE OUR BASEMENT WALLS. FILLED IN LARGE CRACKS ON THE 2 WALLS (ONE WALL WAS LEANING IN). THEY ALSO DUG UP THE DRAIN PIPE FROM THE SUMP PUMP TO THE STREET AND REPLACED IT. SEEDED THE AREA.

THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY PROFESSIONAL. THEY HAD THE BEST PRICE, HANDS DOWN. THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES, AND DID GOOD WORK. THEY EVEN TOOK OUT A CEMENT PAD, THAT WAS POURED ON THE FLOOR OF THE BASEMENT AS A SHOWER, FOR FREE. THEY SCHEDULED THE WORK, AND THEN MOVED IT UP WHEN THEY HAD A CANCELLATION. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED A PERIMETER DRAINAGE SYSTEM, WITH A SUMP-PUMP.

RYAN CAME OUT ON TIME, AS SCHEDULED. HE WAS VERY HONEST, SAYING THAT I DID NOT NEED A TRENCH DUG, OR A SUMP, DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE A FLOATING FLOOR, AND THE ISSUE OF BOWING WALLS IS NOT AT A CRITICAL POINT NOW. HE REASSURED ME I CAN WAIT TO HAVE THE I-BEAMS PLACED. RYAN ALSO GAVE ME INFO ON FILLING THE CRACKS IN THE WALL. I RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY, AND SUGGEST TO OTHER MEMBERS THAT THEY FIRST CONSIDER THE SMALLER BUSINESSES, THEN GET A QUOTE FROM ONE THAT ADVERTISES ON TV, AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES, THE DIFFERENCE. ALSO NOTE THAT THERE IS A FULLY TRANSFERABLE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON PHILLIPS WORK.

WE WERE VERY HESITANT ABOUT SELECTING A COMPANY TO CORRECT SOME VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN OUR BASEMENT. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHOICE WE MADE. WE WERE ADVISED ON THE INITIAL VISIT FROM THEM THAT WE SHOULD HIRE A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER. WE FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE. THIS COMPANY FOLLOWED THE ENGINEER'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND EVEN INSTALLED ONE MORE I BEAM, SINCE THEY GUARANTEE THEIR WORK FOR THE LIFE OF THE HOME. WE APPRECIATE BRUCE AND RYAN IN THE FACT THAT THEY GUIDED US THROUGH THIS ORDEAL VERY CAREFULLY AND WERE ALWAYS SO PROFESSIONAL. ALL THIS WORK WAS DONE IN FOUR DAYS. THE WORKMANSHIP WAS OUTSTANDING.
Description of Work: INSTALLED 23 I BEAMS AROUND WALLS. INSTALLED DRAINAGE SYSTEM AROUND WALLS. NEW SUMP PUMP WITH NEW DISCHARGE LINE. FILLED ALL CRACKS IN ALL WALLS. INSTALLED 100 FEET OF LINE TO THE CURB FOR DOWNSPOUT AND SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE. INSTALLED FOUR GLASS BLOCK WINDOWS WITH VENTS.

ALTHOUGH I DID NOT END UP USING THIS COMPANY, I WAS PLEASED AT THEIR HONESTY. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF MY FINISHED BASEMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE COST PROHIBITIVE TO INSTALL COMPLETE WATERPROOFING, AND THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I PROBABLY DIDN'T NEED IT.
Description of Work: I HAD DAMPNESS IN ONE SMALL AREA OF MY BASEMENT. IT TOOK THE FELLOW A LITTLE AWHILE, BUT HE EVENTUALLY DECIDED THAT I DID NOT REQUIRE THEIR SERVICES. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL A PLUMBER FOR A BROKEN OR LEAKING WATER LINE.

THE COMPANY IS PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY DEDICATED TO SATISFACTORILY ACCOMPLISHING THE WORK THEY AGREE TO DO. WE BELIEVE THAT WE RECEIVED EXCELLENT SERVICE AND QUALITY WORK FOR OUR MONEY. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PHILLIPS BASEMENT WATERPROOFING, INC.
