Great no issues
Description of Work: No work done. The owner came out for an estimate and explained to me that he could do the work I needed but his fees would be higher. He then directed me to the proper type of company that I should contact...honest guy. Meant a lot to me.

FANTASTIC, GREAT
Description of Work: We have a walk out foundation and we were getting a little moisture into the wood floor along the wall. We called this company and Grant come when schedule. We reviewed the problem and within a short period of time he provided reasonable estimate for four different options. We reviewed them and contacted the company is a few days and asked them to proceed. We schedule a time for the work to be done. A crew of four workers arrived when scheduled. They did a FANTISTIC job. Top notch craftsmen, quality work, very professional and friendly. They cleaned up the site so well it was had to see where they worked. We could not be more pleased and I highly recommend them.

Description of Work: Requested the company to come to my home to review water leakage issues in my basement. Scheduled an appointment. At the time of appointment the technician, Grant, did not show up or call. They did not respond to a telephone message I left for the technician and they have not responded to an email I sent. This is poor customer service and I'm very disappointed.

We have no records of an appointment or call from you. I spoke with our representative and he also did not have any records of an appointment. He remembers talking to you at the Garden Show last week, but said nothing was set. We don't usually have this sort of issue, and our office is pretty efficient with calls and scheduling. We apologize if there was a misunderstanding. I am not sure why this review was left as an "F", a call to our office would have resolved this. Please contact me directly at 703-674-6262 to set up an appointment with our company. It would be nice to remove this poor grade and allow us to actually give you an estimate. thank you, David Arias Operations Manager

Description of Work: Installed several underground French drains to improve our backyard drainage. |All excavation was hand-done. They seeded or laid sod over much of the disturbed ground after finishing. We found it expensive, however they were responsive and conducted the work in a timely fashion.
