The guys were professional and easy to work with. They willingly and pleasantly answered all my many questions. They had to re-do some concrete on my driveway. When I noticed that some concrete had splattered on my brick home and called it to their attention, they came the very next morning to power wash it off. I appreciated that so much. No debate, no excuses. They just wanted to make it right. I would highly recommend ABV to friends.

ABV was incredible to work with. They are excellent communicators and always return emails and calls. They are timely and hard-working when on the job site. They consulted us carefully about issues as they arose. They were careful with our property and restored our yard to better condition than they found it. The job was more complicated than originally anticipated and we went over budget due to completely unanticipated issues. They were incredibly helpful in making suggestions to control costs. And, finally, they were just nice people -- always smiling, upbeat and helpful.
Description of Work: We needed to re-route the exterior storm sewer run off and install additional exterior drains around foundation. This required substantial excavation including cutting through a very thick, old concrete pad reinforced with rebar (not just cement mesh)

Mike and the ABV Contracting team did an excellent job. Mike is thorough, personable and willing to work with the homeowner to solve their water issues. After listening to me describe the basement water leakage and backyard drainage issues, Mike presented a couple potential solutions that we discussed and agreed on what would work best. When the work started, Mike was on the job each day and the ABV team was punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, hard working and cleaned up each afternoon before leaving. As the work progressed, Mike and his team kept me apprised of any issues they uncovered and of any subsequent decisions that needed to be made. After obtaining several quotes, Mike's price was fair and reasonable for the work performed. I would highly recommend ABV Contracting to rectify your basement waterproofing issues and would definitely hire them again.

Everyone in the crew did a fantastic job. They knew what need to be done. They were professional polite, neat and very hard working. Each night they cleaned up. They were respectful to us and our property. The job required removing steps, a railing, many patio stones and many other things. Everything was put back together to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough good things about ABV Contractors. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone we know and would be glad to call them if a need arises.

Our sewer was backing up in our house so we contacted ABV Contractors. They found roots in our sewer line and made a sanitary sewer repair. They also camera-ed and snaked our sewer line.

Mike and ABV contracting were great! To start they provided the best estimate. Mike was very helpful getting the appropriate permits and utilities, septic system taken care of. They demolished the buildings in three days and left the lot in good condition. I would definitely use them again if need and would recommend them highly.

I needed both storm and sanitary sewer lines laid from the back corner of my house to the street. A possibly invasive job. These guys are awesome. The price was great. Everyone from their money guy, crew chief, machine operator, even their laborers were excellent and seemed to know their stuff. They showed up when they said they would, worked continuously on the job, and finished on the estimated finish date with no extra charges. The job went smoothly and everything works fine. Bing, bam, boom. I can't say enough good things about them. Molto acclamazioni! (I hope that's right :) Thanks again.)

I used them before to install a new trench drain in a walk-out basement, and replace 75 feet of storm drain that runs out to a creek behind my house. They did an excellent job on the basement waterproofing, just as they did with the other job. (I've posted a review of that as well). They completely excavated the 50 feet of wall and removed all material in 7 hours. The operator of the excavator was skilled and efficient. Everyone on the crew worked hard and was careful about how they went about their work. I highly recommend this company for drain lines and basement waterproofing. I rated them an "A" in each category, and they earned it.
Description of Work: Basement waterproofing - about 50 linear feet: one full wall and the adjoining sections of two others. Excavate old footer drain tiles; install new drain pipe; repair cracks in wall; apply cement coating on exposed walls; sealcoat with tar; backfill with gravel to 12" below grade; backfill with new topsoil; remove all excavated material.

I cannot say enough about Mike and his crew. They were timely, neat and very professional. I was kept aware of the progress throughout the job. They cleaned up each night and I couldn't be more satisfied with the end product. Let's face it, no one wants to have to have this type of work done, but the guys at ABV did a wonderful job at what I felt was a reasonable price.

The new drain works well and solved my problem. Because the new trench drain would sit lower than the original drain there was some concern about whether there would be sufficient fall for water to run off correctly. ABV did measurements with surveying equipment to insure this would work. The crew did good work in less than ideal conditions - wet and cold December. The operator of the excavator did a great job of digging up the old clay tile and keeping the correct grade for the new pipe. I was very pleased and am considering using them for some basement waterproofing work.
Description of Work: I had a walk-out basement with a small round drain in a 36" x 40" concrete slab at the bottom of the half-flight of stairs outside the basement entry door; it would get clogged with leaves and debris, with water getting in the basement. The slab was removed and replaced with a trench drain. The old drain emptied into 60 feet of clay tile storm drain that had gotten blocked over 50 years. The clay tile was excavated and replaced with 4" PVC. The new drain and pipe were tied into the existing footer drain system; about 10 feet of clay tile footer drain against the house was also replaced with perforated PVC.

Thank you for the review. Unfortunately we can not guarantee any landscaping in the process of the work being done. We have seen in the past that grass and/or ground cover will usually come back the following year. We apologize for the misunderstanding and we hope the work we performed solved the water issue.

Great, I had a comfortable gut feeling that this was the company I wanted to go with after our initial meeting at the house. I felt I could depend on them to do the work needed without me being home at times and I was correct. There were no issues but they called me to get me updated on their progress when I was not there. I am extremely pleased with the work they did.
Description of Work: Had to have a in ground concrete pool filled in, a drain line put in from the back of the house connecting four downspouts and then flowing out to make connection to the street drain, a number of tall bushes in the front of the house taken out and a tall pine tree removed.

Every time it rained I had water coming in through my foundation walls on 2 sides of my house. I got 3 estimates from 3 companies (ABV was one) and I did my homework on each company beforehand. ABV was not lowest price but after meeting with them I decided to use them because of their knowledge and expertise in basement waterproofing. I will say I was not disappointed that I hired ABV, they stood by their work and did everything and more that they promised me they would during the estimate. I highly recommend this company to anyone. They are courteous and their workers were neat, organized and always made sure the property was safe before they left each evening. I always believed in not automatically hiring the lowest bidder and I'm glad I didn't because ABV is worth it! My only advice to all people in need of work performed at their house...you get what you pay for! Thank you to all at ABV Contractors and I will definitely recommend them to anyone in the future.
