DIAMOND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Went great...got the water line repaired and replaced a valve for me.

It went great. Don was able to repair the service in a very sound, but cost effective manner. He knows what he is doing. He can be trusted and does not cut corners. Needless to say a company run this way is busy and so you may have to wait to get stuff done. If it is an emergency he will get on it asap.

Donnie was great and I would recommend him to anybody.

We have two drainage systems that originate in the backyard near our patio which were overflowing and spilling onto the patio. One of the systems had been twice (once by previous owners and once by us) and it was not done correctly. Needless to say I was hoping that Don and his team would be able to do it right and further complicating things is we have an irrigation system and an invisible dog fence. They worked tirelessly to get it done and although there were a few bumps (cutting of irrigation system and dog fence, they were repaired on the spot by Don and his team.), overall the job went well. We no longer have any water on patio and the drainage systems work better than ever. Regardless of how heavy the rain is, no water backflows onto the patio. We even hooked a second sump pump into one of the systems and it works beautifully. The smoothed down the dirt where they put the drains and seeded it and now the grass has grown to the point where you almost cannot tell they were even there. I suspect by next spring, the grass will be uniform with the rest of the lawn. Don was honest from the start and did make a genuine effort to make sure we were satisfied. It probably helped that he is there the entire time to supervise his crew. He makes sure to remain on site the entire job rather than just leave his crew to fend for themselves. I would recommend Don and Diamond Construction for drain replacement or service to anyone, especially if the job is a bit more complicated.

It took several days due to inclement weather, but John kept us informed

They were professional. I would highly recommend them.

It went really well. He was very knowledgeable and shared his concerns for some other drainage so the job could be done completely and not cause future issues. I didn't end up going with him, but only because I opted to attempt the project myself.

Don was a great Guy! Did the work on time and was very professional about it. Told us all we wanted to know about poly tube and how it is very good for water lines to the home. Explained that the existing water line was not installed correctly because (40+ years ago) the building code did not require the poly tube to be sleeved near the home. The house settled and caused the break in the line. He sleeved the entire line! Great Job. The city water Company had to come out and inspect the work before he could cover it back up. The inspector was amazed that he sleeved the entire line. He just couldn't believe that any contractor would do this and he was amazed he kept saying Don went above and beyond what was required! The inspector even had to stop Don and tell him what a great job he thought he was doing! Diamond Construction Services will be the first contractor I call for any excavating needs!

Requested a quote to replace a broken water line in front of my home. The replacement was done in a timely and professional manner and they even replaced the water meter inside the home to make it more accessible. The ground did sink and they came out and filled up the hole. The ground sunk again and they came back out to refill once more. I would recommend them for replacement of the water line. FYI -- I had my line repaired twice before the replacement by two different companies and I would recommend just replacing it as the cost was half of the replacement; one thinks a repair will last a long time, but not in my case...

We were having some trouble with our sewer line, which another company told us was likely collapsed and would have to be replaced for $7000. We wanted other estimates for repairing the line, so we asked Don, who was referred to us by the Reynoldsburg city sewer dept., and he brought a plumbing contractor he works with to run a camera through the line and better identify the problem. The problem was that tree roots were clogging the line, and the other company that we'd hired to clear the line had essentially done nothing but open a small hole for the water to flow through. After expecting to be at our home for only 1 hour to run the camera and determine the best course of action, Don and the plumber (Eddie West) worked tirelessly for more than 5 hours (until after 8pm and in our crawlspace, no less!) to clear the line of tree roots and finally run the camera through. The line was not collapsed and Don suggested repairs would not be necessary. Both men were very professional, punctual, and hardworking. In fact, they both seemed to feel that they were making right on a situation in which another company basically ripped us off. Although I did pay Eddie for his work (he charged a very fair rate), Don would not accept any payment for the time he spent here. I feel this really demonstrates his kind and professional manner, but is also significant because he was not telling us we needed to use him to make $7000 in repairs, but that we would not need to have any work done unless we wanted to put a line clean-out in the yard to supplement the one in the crawlspace. All-in-all, a great experience, and I'd recommend these guys to anyone.

Don did a great job. He came out and ran a water line from the city tap to the house about 350/400 feet from the street to our house. He got all permits and meet with city inspector he made this job very easy for us. We would use Don again with any of our pluming needs.

Diamond construction did an excellent job of getting rid of the patio and deck and cleaning up the site.

This company does an excellent job I would recommend them to anyone.

My husband met Mr. Rhoades and he was extremely impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. If our family's budget had not been so limited, we would have hired Diamond Construction for the job without ANY reservations! Thank you Mr. Rhoades for your time and offer to help us resolve our water problem - we appreciate it very much!

I had the utilities shut off the water to the house because my carpet was getting wet and the water was running down the pipe from outside into the basement right at the wall. So the next day I got about 4 estimates. Everyone else was was quoting $800 and Diamond was only $500. I asked each one to tell me exactly what they would do to fix the problem and they all told me the exact same thing. I guess this problem is common when it's just a water line coming through the basement wall without a 4' long 1 1/2" PVC pipe housing around it. I guess over time the dirt settles around the house and snaps the pipe against the wall. Diamond came out the next day and after an hour of being there they had the utilities people come out and inspect the repair and turn the water on. They did a great job of cleaning up. After the ground settles I would never know they were there.

I found Diamond Construction, (Don Rhodes) on Angie's list. Yesterday Don came out and performed the work. He completed the job as requested with the specific dimensions and location I needed. He also had the best quote of three estimates that I had obtained. I was very happy with Don's work and wanted to let others know that he is professional, reliable and reasonably priced.

Diamond did exactly the work that I requested and did an excellent job. They are the best contractor I have ever used. They were very careful to coordinate with my needs and to make sure they were doing what I wanted. The weather was extremely hot but it didn't seem to slow them down, although they did not rush the work. I am very satisfied with the work and would recommend Diamond to anyone.

We had a major leak in our water line from the main. Don discussed the options to repair or replace, but recommended replacement based on the age of the line (it was likely to rupture again someplace else). Given the age of the water line, it made more sense to replace it than repair it. Don got right on the job and completed it at a more than fair price. Because of code, he had to also replace the connection inside the house. Fine job overall.

The owner of Diamond Construction Services Company came out and did all the work himself. He did a fine job. His prices were very reasonable. I would use his services again if required.

It went very well. The only thing that could have been better was the replacement of the sod. It was uneven, so now I will need to remove it and grade the soil before I can plant grass.

I called the company early evening and left them a message with what I wanted. I wasnt sure if they would come this far to work so I was checking on that also. I got a call back a couple days later (the owner was away doing a job) and he told me that we were too far away for them to be a service to us. But he listened to my problem gave me some great tips on interviewing other excavators ( and they all turned out to be quite helpful). Gave me some suggestions on what to look for, told me what he would do to fix it based on my description. gave me a quote for what he would charge to do the job described and really helped me out on what I needed and didnt need. He spent almost an hour on the phone with me just listening and helping. Everything he told me turned out to be right on the dot, and even though he couldnt come do the job. He helped me save thousands based off his advice and great suggestions.

The second time he came to put a new sub pump in he had to enlarge the opening to put in a crock. (used one) and he cracked the floor from hole to the wall. The finishing touch looked very sloppy, concrete poured around the hole. he did not bring a cover as promised in the estimate.

They were excellent. They listened to us, adapted to our needs, explained any delays or problems. Highly professional. I will not use any other builders after working with them. This house is nearly 200 years old. Removal of the old kitchen revealed a huge underground cistern and other foundation problems. We were very lucky to have a company that understands older homes. They did a wonderful job.

We had a water line break with water bubbling out of the front yard. We called Don. He promptly came out & gave us an estimate. He started the work the next day. The biggest problem for him was he could not get the back hoe in the side yard & that had to be dug by hand. And what a job that was. He also had to 'feed' the water line under a brick wall. He did all that with minimal 'tearing up' of the yard or flower beds. He did say if we could move the water meter to the front of the house we could save a lot of money. The water meter is at the side yard toward the back of the house. Our basement is finished, so that wasn't an option. After it was all done, he showed my husband the process of 'slurring' to get 'rid' of all the dirt sitting in a pile on top of the dug area. 3 days later my yard pretty much looks back to normal, other than the grass seed that has yet to grow. While Don was there we decided to have him install a bypass/auxliliary meter and line for the outdoor faucets. Don is a delight to work with. He worked a very long day & was so very pleasant all day long!

Don Rhodes, the ower, came out the very evening I called him to give us an estimate. He was working another job, and was delayed but did call to let me know he was finishing up a job and would be over as soon as he was done. He suggested a much less destructive approach by cutting out a piece of the driveway, fixing the valve and then replacing the cutout piece. He said in most cases this works and if not we could simply reconcrete the hole rather than tearing up a whole section of the driveway. Don showed up promptly on the day scheduled to do the repair and discovered that the problem was on the cities side of the line, not ours. He waited several hours for the inspector to return to confirm this. Don was very professional and looked for ways to minimize the destruction and cost associated with the repair.
