They did a fine job. He had told me, when he fixed the toilet, that it may need another part. He told me I could call back if there were still problems. It running again right now, but I will call him back for more repairs.

Arrived a little late {15 minutes} but was fast, courteous, and efficient. Replace one that was cracked and had to solder the others. Had the right tools and was done in 1.25 hours. Asked me if I wanted anything else done as I still had 45 minutes of work left. I said no as the job I needed done was done.

Asked to quote on sewer cleaning. Provided an 800.00 quote, then changed the quote to say, NOT TO EXCEED 1000.00. Based on what we talked about doing, I decided to go ahead with them. Took several weeks to actually schedule a time to do the work. When they came out, the workers were very nice and good to work with. They did the job as they could. Found that we had a blocked section of the drain tiles that they could not clean and indicated that it would have to be dug up and replaced. I figured that.... But they said they were going to use a TV camera after they cleaned out what they could and never did use it. When they were done, the said they would send me a final bill and estimate for the replacement. About a week later got the bill and estimate. They HELD to the 1000.00 quote, which I think was actually HIGH for the actual work they did and the quote to replace the broken tiles, was about 1000.00 higher that I would have expected. I would not use them again.

Response from Adelios Contracting Co
Adelio’s Contracting Co., had provided the client with a written contract in the amount of $1,000.00 for snaking and sewer jetting all accessible exterior storm drains, as well as the main storm and sanitary sewer lines where possible including a televised camera inspection where needed. The client returned the signed contract with special payment agreements made between our company and him. We communicated with the client regarding the scheduling of when the work was to be completed and we explained that we were having a busy spring, we are confident that he was aware of when we were going to be out to complete the work. Adelio’s Contracting Co. was successful in cleaning out and opening all storm drains but 1, which is where we recommended repairs. With the condition of the homeowner’s drains and the time it took to open them, we stand by our pricing and feel that we had communicated the time frame of completion of work to the client.

Alex came out and was very courteous and introduced himself--shaking my hand. He assessed the problem: I had a sink leaking in one of the bathrooms. He said that it wouldn't take long to fix that, and asked what else he could do for me. He cleared two other drains and gave excellent advice for cleaning my aerator so as to prevent condensation in our bathroom that had resulted in peeling paint on the ceiling. He offered to replace items back under the bathroom sink, and left everything the way he found it.
Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal for two hours of plumbing labor.
Overall the work was outstanding. Cleaning out the drain tile, adding drains and clean outs for future maintenance was done effectively and in a timely manner. This was not an easy problem but the work Adelio's did has taken care of the problem for now. Our yard has some big trees that create problems with drains and drain tile. We have future work we need to have done to address proper drainage from our yard (our lovely trees!) We will certainly look to Sergio and his team to help us resolve those issues as well. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: We had contacted Adelio's in early fall about a drain tile problem we were having in our back yard. Sergio came out, we discussed the problem(s) and we agreed on a date in November for his team to come out and tackle the problems. His team came out a little later than we planned but they worked the problem in the back yard (added a drain, cleared out the drain tile..) After a heavy rain it was clear that the problems weren't completely resolved. We emailed some pictures to the Adelio's showing the continuing problems and Sergio had a team out ASAP to add additional access to the drain tile and drains.

Contacted Adelios to have our yard re-graded. My call was returned promptly. Was advised that they really didn't do excavating/re-grading jobs. He took the time to make suggestions as to the type of company I might contact. He was very helpful, and I would contact them for future for jobs within their line of business.

As a company we don't like to masquerade and pretend we are someone that we are not, however, we will always try to recommend a company who is highly qualified for a particular job. We have homeowners’ best interest in mind. We are always happy to help in any capacity.
Adelios came by twice, once for the snaking and sewer jetting and once again to repair downspout pipes that were blocked. The house that I purchased is a fixer upper and the previous owner did not perform home maintenance the way that it is needed to be done. Because of that one of the storm drains was blocked. Sergio offered a few options to me to address the issue. He in fact steered me away from the expensive option as he felt it was not needed in order for the home to function properly. To repair the drains that were already existing would likely required significant excavation, perhaps even under my porch and garage. Instead he offered an "outside the box" solution that simply re-directed the one non functioning downspout drain to one that did function. I sincerely appreciated the honest approach he had and would recommend Adelios highly.

badly--never stopped the leaking. They blamed it on everyone else they could--windows leaking, seweres, etc.. Then, to extend the area they did workon, they offered a price quote of 3 times as much as the original job cost for half the work. When I asked why, I was told that because of the really wet year, they were asking thes prices (i.e, because they could get that much). I think it is price gouging and and would not pay the extra money to get them to fix the work that never solved the problem. I would not deal with threse guys again.

We had previously completed work for the member in 2006. In February 2011, he reached out to us via email stating he still had moisture problems in the area where work was done, asking us if it was still under warranty, and we in return replied to the homeowner that indeed the work was covered by our warranty. An appointment was set up, and we met the homeowner at his house. We ensured the customer that we stood behind our work and that we will get the issue resolved if the original problem was not completed correctly. As a company, we also make professional recommendations that can help homeowners and we had suggested to the homeowner several things that should be looked into. Among the recommendations included checking the storm sewer and connecting footer drains with a sewer jet and camera drain to ensure that the system was free from debris or breaks. There would only be a charge to this service if there indeed was a blockage and we cleared it. The other recommendation that we pointed out had to do with the windows on the ground level. We were concerned that the gaps in the seals could be letting water and moisture in as well, a handyman or window professional could caulk up the gaps. Weeks after the initial email, we went to the home to sewer jet the storm lines and we did not find any problems, the customer was not charged for this service. We asked the homeowner to continue to monitor the moisture levels and when the windows where closed up, if the problem still exists we would come back out to address the problem. There was a communication gap and we had not heard from the customer until the end of August 2011. He had sent an email stating that there still was an issue; however, he wanted to talk about additional work that was recommended when the original job was completed in 2006. Over the phone an estimated price range was given due to the fact that we would have to stop by the home and determine if we were able to use machinery for the excavation. The homeowner questioned the amount of the additional cost and raised concern over the price fluctuation and we stated that waterproofing costs have risen in the year’s since the initial work was completed. The homeowner went on and asked when the work could be scheduled and we estimated a time frame of 3 months out. The homeowner grew angry and felt like he should be priority due to the fact that he was an existing customer. He stated that he needed it done ASAP because he wanted to put in a new patio, and we mentioned that we would do everything we could to squeeze him in sooner, but there were other customers who had been waiting for us as well, and we always schedule on a first come, first served basis. The homeowner never gave us the go ahead to complete work, or even contacted us since, and the last we heard from him was through Angie’s List. We did reach out to the customer via email, however, he has not responded to us. We hope that consumers will look at our track record on Angie’s list and know our reputation throughout the years of business. While we understand problems still may exist, we work hard to satisfy all customers that contact us.

The company owner, Sergio, did the estimate; then came to the site on the day of service and helped with the job for the first part of the day. Jason, the technician, was professional, as always. He had come in the past and remembered the job from the year prior. Very neat and polite.

If every contractor was like Sergio DiFranco, from Adelio's, we would not need Angie's List. From the moment that I called for a quote I was incredibly impressed by Sergio's professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness and integrity. He is the kind of contractor that you want to have working on your house. He is incredibly knowledgable about the field of waterproofing, and has well-researched reasons regarding his methodology. He showed up on time, he made me feel confident that he knew what he was talking about. He listened to my requests and answered all of my questions. What was really terrific about Sergio was that he was not pushy. He presented his proposal and followed up to ask if there were any questions. His quote was honest and fair. I very much appreciated the fact that he did not diss other contractors in my presence; I found it disconcerting when other contractors, quoting this same job, made disparaging remarks about their competition. Sergio is much too professional to ever stoop to that level; yet another reason that I was impressed with him. I am in sticker shock and not doing this project right at the moment, though it needs to be done. My absolute, without-a-doubt first choice contractor, for this work, is Sergio from Adelio's.

He came out and looked at the windows and said he would do the windows but he couldn't do it right then and there. He said to wait until the season died down a little bit and they would have some service men available. I called him and told him we were ready but he told me the price was going to be $1000 for 4 windows!!! He would really only have to put in one new sill and then do caulking. He pretty much doubled the price from the first time he quoted me. He was a very nice person but the price was just too much.

While we understand the frustration, we believe the quote that was proposed was fair and accurate. The quote for this particular job had some in-depth work that needed to be completed such as tuck-pointing the bricks directly beneath all 4 windows as well as replacing the sills and sealing to prevent water seepage. We believe for the work that needed to be completed, our proposed price is as competitive as any other licensed contractor. Adelio’s Contracting Co., upholds the highest standards in the entire process from meeting with a customer to the completion of a project. We deliver our services with the highest integrity and craftsmanship.

Sergio estimated the cost to waterprooof our basement in Lakeline in the winter of 2010. He kept in contact over the winter and set up a schedule to do the work in the spring. He was prompt and courteous as were all his men. They stayed on the job (weather permitting) until the work was complete. Everyday they cleaned up the area and either took their tools or stacked them neatly aside so as not to interfere with any house functions. The job went well and Sergio or his crew answered any questions I raised while the job was being done. They did everything they said they would do when the job was quoted. The warranty paper work was delivered as promised. The basement has never been as dry as it has been in the last year. I would recommend Sergio DFranco and his company to anyone needing waterproofing services.
Description of Work: I contracted with Adelios Contracting to waterproof a basement in Laskeline. The service included digging in 2 locations and replacing draintile and downspouts in the areas that were excavated. Two cleanouts were also installed in the areas that were dug. The system was thoroughly flushed with high pressure hoses to ensure they were flowing correctly. Everything from start to finish worked as it was supposed to.

I waited over a year to file this report intentionally. I wanted to be sure that our house is indeed better and it is. We bought the home w a sump pump and a B-Dry system in basement. Husband joked that the sump pump went off when someone spat on the sidewalk out front. Couldn't store anything down there - even w multiple dehumidifiers - because of moisture. From beginning to end the company went out of their way to be courteous, responsive, polite and efficient. Sergio and fam found that not only were the pipes 100% occluded but drain tile was installed when house built hundred years ago 6 in higher than foundation. (This is not good.) They dug around house, UNDER crawlspaces and stairs (by hand), replaced everything, replanted everything, worked above and beyond to replace and get house back in shape incl installing a temporary walk where concrete had to be ripped out until the concrete guy could come. They came out TWICE at no charge to add more fill to parts of yard that were sinking after excavation. The company worked out a great payment plan for us. And the basement 18 months later: it's dry as a bone. Gave them a B on price only because it was a lot of money and we still joke about how painful the price was - but yes, it was worth every penny and more.

We were in a bind when selling our house because the buyer's inspector claimed that we had to do $16,000 of waterproofing in order to make the basement usable. Sergio came out the next day to make his own estimate and said he should be able to take care of the basement by waterproofing one wall. The house deal fell through but we went ahead with the waterproofing anyway. We were happy with the work done (the basement has stayed dry). I do have a few quibbles: -The equipment was parked on our front lawn for several days -- since it was summer it effectively killed our lawn. -The guys originally ran the gutter right into the cleanouts which is not allowed in our city (and had been explained originally) -- but this was fixed in short order. -The guys also made a crack in our siding about a foot long with their machines. I did bring this to the owner's attention and was hoping to get some kind of break with the final cost (although I didn't spell that out) but nothing was done about it. Nevertheless I felt like it was an overall job well done and I remain grateful that they were so responsive when we really needed them.

Adelio's price was competitive, but certainly not the least expensive estimate we received. Thank goodness we decided to go with them.The company did a magnificent job with the waterproofing; the basement has been completely dry for years. All I can say is this company is first-rate. They are professional, honest, do quality work, and are a pleasure to work with in every way. A few times, I've called Sergio at the last minute, requesting he come out to do some work. He's always right there, giving prompt and highly professional service. Perhaps one of the things I most liked about the company was how well they cleaned up after the waterproofing job. We lived with mud, dirt, and a dug up backyard for many weeks, but once Adelio's was gone, the property looked better than it did when they started digging. It was such a relief to have our clean, landscaped backyard back again thanks to Adelio's. I would highly recommend this company even if you get lower bids. You'll thank yourself years later!
Description of Work: We hired Adelio's to do a major waterproofing job on our home several years ago. They dug up the pipes around the permieter of the basement. Currently, they come on a routine basis to snake out the sewer and sanitary pipes.
Overall Adelio's did a great job. They were very professional, arrived to the work site each day as planned, and always left the work site clean and orderly each day prior to leaving. They even arranged to have my air conditioner unhooked and moved in order to dig where they needed to. They also had it hooked back up upon job completion. The drain in my driveway works perfectly now no matter how hard it rains. Thanks Adelio's! Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I had a blockage in the storm drain located in my driveway. Every time it would rain I would get water backing up into the drive. Adelio's came out to evaluate the issue. First course of action was to try and snake out the pipe to clear the blockage. This did not work. Snake got out so far and would not budge. From there they had to excavate in the area where the snake ended up getting stuck which was by the back wall/foundation of the house. They replaced the damaged section of pipe and water proofed the foundation wall where they excavated. They re-ran the snake to check the rest of the drain pipe to the street and found additional blockages due to mud and tree roots. They were able to get these blockages cleared without any further digging by using the snake. They backfilled the two excavated areas and poured concrete in the one area where they had to dig.
