BODINE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC.

They were very professional, and their price was incredibly competitive. All of their employees could communicate with me, and they were clean in appearance. This project was extensive, and I really appreciated that they worked around us best they could. They worked hard to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible, I would recommend them to anyone needing their expertise.

I'm very happy with the work, I would use these guys again in a heart beat. They were easy to communicate with and kept me informed throughout the 4-week process. They were able to offer up creative solutions to areas around the house where water naturally pooled. I had another company pouring the driveway and they couldn't figure out how to deal with a low point near the front door where water would pool because of the slope of my lot. The solution the other concrete company came up with would have made the situation worse and Bodine called me the day of the pour to alert me to the situation and offer up an immediate solution to remedy the situation. They also brought in new rock and bark returning the yard to it's previous condition. Overall, great attention to detail, and the level of craftsmanship would you expect from a company of this caliber, truly professional work.

Very professional company. Not the cheapest, but experts in their field. Highly recommended if you want to have your drainage/water issues addressed once and for all.

They are great. They are very professional and always on time. We have been very happy with them and will continue to use them again in the future.

Wow! The crawl space was dry and the support beams were reinforced well. They were fast and effective. A little bit more than I had expected to pay, but a worthwhile investment for our home.

The price they quoted me was $12,000 and it was twice as much as four other estimates I got. They were great and did a really thorough job. I was actually very happy with meeting with them and it was just the price that I thought there was no way that I was going with them. I would tell others to definitely consider them, but get a lot of other price estimates. They did a really good job on the estimate.

We has some very bad rains this year with no problems. Our house has a daylight basement so we are very weary of having water build up. Bodine guarantees the work for 5 years.

I think they did pretty well, but their service was expensive. They were professional and pretty quick to finish.

I have been told they are the only company in the area to do the work, but they never responded after 5 phone calls.

Had Steve Bodine come out for the initial inspection on the house before I even bought the place. We spent a good couple hours looking over some weeping stairs (mid summer) and trying to get an understanding of the existing drain system built around the house. He quoted removing the stairs, finding the footer drain, then blowing out the whole system, inspecting via remote camera and rebuilding the stairs. Prior to rebuilding we planned on going over the inspection report and planning/quoting the results of that. In addition I asked if they could replace some damaged siding and he was able to quote that. I called them back up the day after we closed on the house and started scheduling the repair work. I didn't live in the house at the time so some coordination was needed to allow them access to the basement. As the start of the work approached i never did get a call to coordinate that part, when i called into the main office i would get told they would call back later in the day. this went on a couple of days and finally one of their foreman called me back. From that point on it was frequent and quick communication with the foreman and they got the siding off and replaced quickly as well as demoed the stairs. They cleaned and inspected the footer system. The report took longer to get to me then i expected and calls to the main office were again not returned in the time frame i was told. However, once they did the report and sent it over i was in contact with the operations side and the communication was much better. They were able to answer questions and quoted the additional repairs needed. I scheduled the repair work as well. Their crew came out and started work on Monday and had it closed back up by Tuesday. Very impressive considering they rerouted all the downspouts in the house to a new drain pipe and then ran that to the drainage ditch. They also rebuild a portion of the footer drain that ran near the demoed stairs and prepped the area for a new pouring of the stairs. A couple of days later they came back and poured the stairs and they look great as well as drain properly now. When i compared the repair plan to what I could see around the house i found some discrepancies. I called back the office and managed to get a quicker response this time. They had routed pipes different from the plan, but in a way i would have expected prior to the report (ie underneath a deck instead of all the way around). They sent someone out to double check all the work done and updated the paperwork so that I had a good set of As Built drawings to reference in the future. They provide a great warranty for work done as well as returned the yard as they found it. They replaced any plants that were removed to place the new pipes and disrupted as little as possible. Only time will tell how the drainage works, but we're half way through the winter with not problems manifesting yet and plenty of rain to test it out.

Steve Bodine came out and talked with me about the options I had concerning my project. Since the culvert is on Snohomish County land, there were restrictions about what we could and could not do. He gave me several options, was knowledable and professional. I received the bid in a couple of days. I accepted the bid and they said that they would start the permit process. I got a call from Mike in a couple of weeks that the county had changed their mind about which permit they wanted. He took the new paperwork in, and we had the permit in a week or so. I scheduled the job out for a couple of weeks. When nobody showed up on the appointed day, i called the office to find out why. I got a call back from Steve Bodine within 10 minutes. He said that because of the good weather, they had more jobs going than expected, and were running a little behind. I'm not in a rush, so not a big deal. They dropped off some material that day, and started work the following Monday. Dave has been the main guy on the job, assisted some days by a couple other workers. The work progressed at an uneven pace, but steady none the less. Dave agreed that they were streched thin from all the work that had come in. Several days he was here by himself. It took about 10 days to finish up everthing. That includes a couple of days that Dave got pulled to another site, as well as waiting for visits from the county inspector. The county asked Dave to address a couple different areas not included in or called for in the original plan. I laughed when he told me what the county wanted, but he was happy to comply, no questions asked. The job would have been done much quicker if Dave had a crew each day. For this situation, that was not a big deal. I must commend Dave on doing a great job. Everything looks great. I'm very happy with the finished project. Everybody I dealt with was friendly and professional. They returned calls quickly and expressed concern that I was getting what I wanted. I would use their services again.

Follow through was not good, very expensive, and only did a quick fix. Did not come back to resolve issues completely.

I have basement garage and the concrete driveway is about 15 ft long and down sloping. I had hired them to remove the old concrete, pour new concrete, and install a new drain system. One crew came and removed all the old concrete and piping. Another crew came that was going to install the new drainage system and concrete did not know how to install to the system that was supposed to be set up. I had to explain to them what they should do and eventually the foreman had to come out to correct the mistake.

Steve provided a detailed bid and his crew started the work on schedule. His price was higher than my two other bids, but he also seemed to present the best solution from an engineering perspective. At times during the project I wonder if communication amongst the crew and with me could have been better (i.e. I think *much* more dirt was excavated and then replaced than was necessary, and the cinder-block wall is not quite aligned with the location I had discussed with Steve), which gave me some anxiety, but at the end I am pleased with the result. Doing things like cutting out old protruding rebar and laying a vapor barrier over the remaining un-excavated portion of the basement were not necessarily expected, but much appreciated. For future similar projects I would again take competitive bids, but would not exclude Bodine from that cycle.

Work was done a while ago, before we joined Angies list, so I can't remember much but whenever I've lifted the floorboard to peak at the crawlspace I've seem it is dry.

Their work was fine, but they didn’t communicate well with us about their plans and as to when the work was going to be done. We might use their services in the future.

They were clearly the best qualified to do the work that we needed to have done and we didn't get any other bids. We would absolutely use them again.

Bodine came to the house to review the problem, provided a bid for the proposed work to correct the problem, and took the time needed to explain the proposed solution and costs with me. Work was done by 2 different crews, based on their specialty. They arrived on time and performed professionally. I had questions not directly related to the contracted work, and they were extremely helpful in solving those issues. Very satisfied with the work they did.

Bodine did a full drawing for OUR yard to keep the water system on our own lot. However, it would have required a huge amount of manual labor with a "rentention" system dug into our backyard. I called and asked the reasons for that type of system, and they indicated it was to keep our two lots systems separate. However, I KNOW from digging in my backyard that we are hardpan clay, with NO drainage at all, no more than 6 inches below surface. SO, I sent them over to neighbors to give them a bid to re-do their drainage system, with the possibility of sharing some of the cost. The drawings were perfect, very readable, and logical. The price was quite high, so neighbor and I are still talking and considering this proposal. No work has been done yet, and thankfully, no monsoons creating flooding for him.

I am very unhappy with them. They didn’t show up on time. They didn’t return my calls. They came out on the first day and didn’t show up from the next day. I had taken time off my work for an entire week. Everytime I made an arrangement to stay at home, they never showed up. They told me that the job would be completed in 45 days, but it took 8 months to finish the same. They were doing work elsewhere. I knew that they weren’t interested in my work. However, I didn’t know what to do at that time. They did the plumbing illegally. They didn’t get the permit. After I caught them, they had to redo everything. The owner was very nasty and he told me that if I had wanted the permit, I should have told him about it. I couldn’t believe it. It still astounds me that somebody would do work without getting proper permits. I don’t know what they were doing; everything that they did, they had to redo it thrice. I was so disappointed with them that I just wanted to pay them and get rid off them. I regret the decision of having them do the work. The reason I had hired them was the steps from my basement to the laundry room was damp. They couldn’t figure out the reason for it. They took me on a $12000 ride. They also told me that they would grout and seal the front steps. They charged $200 for the job. All they did was they caulked two places. They probably used a total of four inches of caulk. I told them that if that was all they had to do, I could have done the work myself. I thought they would seal the entire stairway. I paid them nine months ago. They were a complete rip-off. The owner was dishonest, unprofessional and didn’t have permits. He started the work last year and didn’t complete the work until nine months ago. They didn’t know a lot of things correctly. The entire project exhausted me. Now, there is a leak in my basement, which I will ask them to look at. I’ll never hire them again for any other project in the future.

I purchased a home (new construction) that had gone through foreclosure, so the builder was fully out of the picture. The inspections revealed that the drainage in the crawlspace was "faked" (to use their term). The trenching was only 2-3 inches deep and it all led to nowhere. So small ponds had formed beneath the house. I had the real estate agent obtain bids from both Bodine and PermaDry. I didn't deal with either upfront, but the agent said that Bodine was more detailed and professional in their dealings, whereas the rep from PermaDry almost acted like they didn't want the job. Bodine's bid was $1500 more than PermaDry, but they offered a few additional items. I went with Bodine because they are known for their "Nordstrom" service and PermaDry is "Wallmart". The project was supposed to take 5 days. Three workers showed up early each day, and several other Bodine employees showed up along the way. Toward the end, there were as many as 5 employees doing work and overseeing the project. They finished a day early. Everyone was courteous and professional along the way, and you quickly get the impression that they are very knowledgeable, focused and that they take their work quite seriously. When talking with them, you'd think there was little in life more important than drainage. I checked the work when finished and it looked to be done well and according to contract terms. We haven't gone through the rainy season yet, but I have no worries, particularly since they have a 10-year guarantee.

When we bid on the house we recently moved in to, it had three inches of water in the crawl space, which the seller didn’t know. So we had to fix the crawl space. We didn’t have to pay for that. The inspector who inspected our house, recommended Bodine Construction Company to us. It turned out that even the seller of the house, chose Bodine Construction Company, without letting us know and we were very glad about that. They weren’t the cheapest place around. When they came to do the job, they dug up quite a bit of the drainage system and replaced things. They had a little machine that went through the pipes and worked for weeks. They really did what seemed to be a thorough job. There was a sidewalk that was tilted the wrong way towards the house on the uphill side and they were supposed to take that out and replace it. We told them not to do that. Instead we asked them to take it out and put gravel there. So, they put the gravel and a nice attractive drainage thing without any input from us. They put treated wood between the flower beds and along the walks beside the house. They did a very neat job of that. We were present for a part of the job. They acknowledged the fact that we were the new owners and they let us see how they worked. They were very good about it. Later we had to go away for moving in the things from our old house to the new one. By then it had rained heavily and the dirt they dug had settled some more. So, they came back and filled that back to the level it should have been. They were very thorough with that. It has 5 years warrantee. So, we wouldn’t be able to comment on the job they did until the winter arrives. We are very impressed with them and think they are good.

i can run a hose through drain myself and extend need for the check by another year.

I found them on Angie's List. They did a very good job and I was very happy with their quality of service. The price was a little high, but I got what I paid for.

Great to work with but the solution was too expensive for us.
