HE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND CAME OUT THAT DAY. HE WAS CONSERVATIVE IN NOT RUSHING TO DO ANYTHING AND TO WAIT AND SEE IF THERE IS RECURRENCE. HE EXPLAINED SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS WITH VARYING LEVEL OF PRICING. WE HAVEN'T HAD THE WORK DONE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO NEW STREET WORK (CITY RELATED.) THEIR PRICING SEEMED COMPETITIVE WHEN CALLING OTHER COMPANIES.

THEY ARRIVED AT THE SCHEDULED TIME, WERE VERY THOROUGH IN THEIR EXPLANATION AND QUOTED ME A FAIR PRICE WITHOUT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TACTICS. I HAD THEM DO THE WORK AND BOY ARE WE HAPPY!!! THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB, CLEANED UP EXTREMELY WELL AND HELD FIRM ON THE PRICE THAT THEY ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED DESPITE SOME UNFORESEEN OBSTACLES THEY ENCOUNTERED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BASEMENT GUYS TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR ANY TYPE OF CONCRETE REPLACEMENT, REPAIR OR BASEMENT WORK. OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT, FROM THE INITIAL CALL THROUGH COMPLETION OF THE JOB!
Description of Work: MY PARENTS HAD A PORCH AND PATIO THAT WAS CRACKED AND CRUMBLING SO I CALLED THREE COMPANIES TO OBTAIN ESTIMATES. ONLY THE BASEMENT GUYS WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME SINCE I WAS NOT THE HOMEOWNER. I HANDLE ALL MY PARENTS HOME IMPROVEMENT ISSUES AND WAS VERY HAPPY THAT THE BASEMENT GUYS WOULD WORK WITH ME ON THIS.

COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE -- MUST HAVE TOO MUCH WORK TO RETURN PHONE CALLS, EVEN THOUGH THEY CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE $500 OFF W/ COUPON IN A NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS.
Description of Work: OBTAINED AN ESTIMATE AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 2 HOURS WITH A COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE. HE WAS INTERESTED IN HAVING ME SIGN A CONTRACT AND TURN OVER A SUBSTANTIAL DOWN PAYMENT THAT EVENING (EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN'T START THE WORK FOR NEARLY 3 MONTHS). I WANTED TO THINK IT OVER DURING THE WEEKEND. HE PROMISED TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME MONDAY OR TUESDAY. I NEVER HEARD BACK. I HAVE CALLED THE COMPANY 2 MORE TIMES AND CAN'T GET A RETURN PHONE CALL.

AFTER ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT THIS POTENTIAL CUSTOMER AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS, I LEFT A MEESAGE FOR HER. I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND HER DISAPPOINTMENT IN NOT RECEIVING A CALL BACK, BUT I CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE DIDN''T REACH HER IN LIGHT OF MY EXPERIENCE. CUSTOMERS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF OUR INDUSTRY AND WE STRIVE TO NOT ONLY SATISFY THEM BUT ALSO TO MAKE THEM HAPPY. UNLIKE SOME OF OUR COMPETITION, WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN HOUNDING OUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS TO SIGN A CONTRACT. WITH THIS APPROACH OCCASIONALLY A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER WILL FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS AS HAPPENED IN THIS INSTANCE. WE FEEL THAT IT IS BETTER TO RISK THIS SCENARIO THAN TO AGGRAVATE THEM WITH CONSTANT PHONE CALLS. I''M SURE YOU WILL AGREE THAT YOU JUST CAN''T PLEASE EVERYONE!

THIS COMPANY MADE YOU FEEL THAT IF YOU DIDN'T GO WITH THEM, WHOMEVER ELSE YOU CHOSE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WATERPROOF FOR YOU, (IT WOULD FAIL.) WE EVEN GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AFTER THE FREE ESTIMATE, WHICH WAS VERY NICE, BUT SEEMED LIKE ANOTHER REMINDER TO WORK WITH THEM ONLY. (IN SHORT, THEY WERE SALESMEN TRYING TO SELL A PRODUCT.)THEIR PRICES WERE EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO THE COMPANY WE WENT WITH. THIS COMPANY ONLY WANTED TO DO OUR WHOLE BASEMENT AND IF WE ONLY WANTED A PARTIAL BASEMENT WATERPROOFING, THEY MADE THIS PRICE EXTREMELY HIGH TO DISCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE. (THEY TOLD US THEY KNEW IT WOULDN'T WORK, SO THAT IS WHY THEY MADE THAT PRICE SO HIGH.) THE COMPANY WE WENT WITH, SAID WE DIDN'T NEED THE WHOLE BASEMENT DONE AND GAVE US A VERY REASONABLE PRICE.
Description of Work: THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WAS VERY NICE AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME EXPLAINING WATERPROOFING SOLUTIONS, BUT WE FELT PRESSURED TO PURCHASE FROM THEM.

THE CREW THAT CAME TO MY HOUSE WAS LED BY FOREMAN JERRY ROSS. HE WAS VERY POLITE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED HIM. THE JOB WAS COMPLETED IN 2 1/2 DAYS. THEY TOOK CARE AND PRECAUTIONS NOT TO TRACK ANYTHING IN THE HOUSE AND WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: MY ENTIRE BASEMENT WAS WATERPROOFED AND A SUMP PUMP WAS INSTALLED. I INITIALLY CALLED ANOTHER COMPANY, BUT HIGH PRESSURE TACTICS WERE USED. I CALLED THE BASEMENT GUYS AND THEY SENT OUT ANDY REHNER FOR THE ESTIMATE. NO HIGH PRESSURE TACTICS WERE USED AND HE WAS GENUINELY NICE AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME EXPLAINING THE SYSTEM TO US. I LEARNED MORE FROM HIM THAN THE OTHER 2 COMPANIES THAT GAVE ME ESTIMATES. THEY BACK UP THEIR PROMISE TO PLEASE THE CUSTOMER. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY AND HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS COMPANY TO OTHER PEOPLE.

I DID NOT LIKE THE ALMOST ''BAIT AND SWITCH'' APPROACH TO THE PROCESS OF ESTIMATING THE JOB.
Description of Work: AT FIRST THE REPRESENTATIVE WANTED TO ''FIX'' THE ENTIRE BASEMENT INCLUDING TWO NEW SUMP PUMPS AND OUTSIDE DRAIN LINES. WHEN I BALKED AT THE $9000 PRICE, HE BACKED DOWN TO JUST PART OF THE BASEMENT AND ONE NEW SUMP PUMP.

Response from The Basement Guys
AT THE TIME OF THE FREE INSPECTION, NOVEMBER 13, 2002, WE SUGGESTED THAT THE MEMBER FIX THE ENTIRE BASEMENT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD. HOWEVER, WHEN THE MEMBER ASKED FOR A PRICE TO FIX THE AREAS HE WAS CONCERNED WITH, WE WERE OBLIGATED TO GIVE THAT PRICE TO HIM WITH THE STIPULATION THAT HIS PROBLEM MIGHT NOT BE PERMANENTLY SOLVED. WE ARE AN UPSTANDING COMPANY AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN GIVING OUR CUSTOMERS HONEST INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE, UNLIKE MOST OF OUR COMPETITORS IN OUR LINE OF WORK.

WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE FOREMAN AND HIS CREW. THEY WERE ON TIME, WORKED HARD AND DID A GREAT JOB. THEY WERE INFORMATIVE AND RESPECTFUL OF OUR POSSESSIONS. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WITH MY PHONE CALL TO THE COMPANY UNTIL THE END OF THE JOB, WE GOT FIRST CLASS SERVICE. I WOULD RATE THIS COMPANY AND THEIR EMPLOYEES "A" FOR A GREAT JOB DONE. THEY MADE IT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE FOR OUR FAMILY. WE WERE REALLY PLEASED WITH THE JOB.

ALL WORKERS WERE EXTREMELY POLITE, WELL-MANNERED AND EFFICIENT, WHICH I APPRECIATED AS THEY WORKED AMIDST MY TWO VERY YOUNG, CURIOUS CHILDREN. THEY WERE ALSO VERY CONSIDERATE OF MY HOME AND KEEPING IT AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE WHILE THEY WORKED. THEIR WORK WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THEY WERE VERY FLEXIBLE, ADJUSTING THE WORK TO SITUATIONS UNCOVERED AS THEY PROGRESSED IN THE JOB. WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, FROM THE SALESMAN`S INITIAL VISIT TO THE CLEAN-UP AT THE END OF THE JOB. THEY WERE ALSO VERY RESPONSIVE TO A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION WE HAD TWO DAYS AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
Description of Work: DUG OUT AND REPLACED OLD DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN BASEMENT AS WELL AS INSTALLED A NEW SUMP PUMP. ALSO REPLACED EXTERIOR DRAINS LEADING FROM DOWNSPOUTS TO STREET AND REPLACED DAMAGED SIDEWALK.
