It was excellent. It stopped the leak and made the basement more modern; more clean; just better. They cleaned up and everything was left organized and neat. There was nothing left behind, no debris. The price was good.
Description of Work: I used Havertown Masonry to fix the water proofing in the basement.

Gus was very professional. He kept us informed of what he would be doing and what days he would be doing it. And he came when he said he would. He fixed some other minor problems on the chimney and the rear of the house at no additional charge. It looks great. My neighbors have complimented the work, and we are very pleased.
Description of Work: removed failing old stucco wall and cleaned down to the original masonry wall on 2 stories of one side of house. Installed new stucco (2 base coats and one finish coat) and removed one overhanging roofing and replaced with new roof flashing.

He was fabulous! He came out and did the job shortly after I purchased the deal. As a matter of fact, I had him do a little bit more than what I had purchased and his price was very fair. I was more than satisfied, I was very pleased! I think it cost me another $150 over the big deal price because I had a certain window well that I wanted him to put on both in the front and in the back. They did a really nice job. I felt that his pricing was really reasonable. They were very professional. I would recommend them to anybody.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for Havertown Masonry. They did the glass block for me and that took care of my problem.

If you need a glass block window call Gus..
Description of Work: Gus did a great job installing our glass block window in the basement. Sealed everything up and it was very easy to hook our dryer vent back up to the new window. He cleaned up the project well.
Hired Havertown Masonry to waterproof and install a french drain in a smaller portion of the basement 12x12. Gus and his crew were on time everyday at 7am. Performed the work in a timely and professional manner. Unlike previous reviews Gus provided me with an estimate within 2 days after our 1st meeting. The new concrete floor and walls looks great, looks better than the rest of the basement. The french drain system works well and there's no more musty basement smells.Very happy with the outcome and the price.
Description of Work: Removed old concrete on basement floor and walls in a smaller portion of the basement 12x12, cut away a 5" tree root that was in the basement floor, concrete walls and floor, installed a waterproof french drain system, and installed glass block and a vent.

Never submitted an estimate.
Description of Work: Arranged to have them look at our wet basement problem and give us an estimate. He showed up as agreed, looked at the problem and told me he'd send me an estimate. I guess he wasn't interested in the project, since I never heard from him again. He seemed to be knowledgeable as we discussed the project.

We didn't have a proper drainage system outside our basement and we had a mold problem. They were very professional. Their crew was on time and very neat and clean. They were very considerate of us. They did all the work in a very timely fashion. I think it only took a week. The experience was excellent and the price was reasonable for the quality of work that they did. They did the work right.
Description of Work: We used Havertown Masonry to put in French drains for basement waterproofing. They dug the trenches and put the drains in and put in new wood where needed and new stucco.

Was told that they would be available in two week. Would provide an estimate in writing. After several days I got a verbial estimate that I approved. Was told that the written version would follow in a few more days. A week later I called and was told that he was not ready with the written estimate. At that time I reminded him that he was to start the job next week. He said that he wouldn't be available for another two weeks. Since had schedule time off and other reasons it explained that the time delay was not reasonable and I would not be willing to reschedule the job. He was going to check with his other client and call me back. He never called me back.
Description of Work: Had an estimate to provide a new system of pipes to move water from the gutters away from the house to the yard.

I was given an estimate for the work specified and was told that a written proposal would be sent to me. It has been approx. 2 weeks since the estimate, via phone call, was received. I have not received the written proposal as promised 2 weeks ago. Furthermore, the estimate given was 5 times less than any of the other proposals received. I am wondering why the estimate amount given is so much less? I makes me think, "what shortcuts" he may take when doing the repair work?

They were good. When they were fixing the roof, a piece of slate was moved. I called them and they came back and fixed it. I did not think that $600 was a lot of money for the job, but they finished the job in only two hours with two workers. This made me question the price a little. I would use them again in the future, however.
Description of Work: They fixed a leak in my roof.
The initial payment was $4500.00. A week later he asked for an additional $4500.00 but he couldn't work because the borough shut him down. I found that out after paying only an additional $1000.00 because he hadn't completed anything.
Description of Work: There were six individual projects that he was suppose to complete (install 6 windows, the storm door, radiant heat in the floor, perimeter French drain system,restucco walls,new concrete floor) in the winter 2006 for the awesome price of $14,600.00. By June 2006, he received $7000.00. To date, he has not completed a single project. The borough issued a citation in 2007, to which he pled guilty. I've had to hire another contractor to finish the work.

He came out to give an estimate and gave a verbal estimate. We called a few weeks later and asked him for a written detailed estimate (broken-down). He didn't remember being there or the job. He finally did send a written estimate and we decided to hire him. When we talked to him he had family issues and wasn't able to do the job right away. We said we wanted to get the job done soon and he said he'd call back in three weeks and if we haven't hired someone else he'll do the job. We never heard back from him. I never called him back because of what had happened up until then.

At first, Mr. Rosetti responded timely after receiving my first call to him. He claimed he would assess the problem & call back to discuss & quote. Two weeks rolled by & I had not heard from him. I called for a status report, yet I had not received a call yet to date. Unfortunately, I do not recommend Mr. Rosetti at all for his lack of professionalism.
