All work completed as expected. Tom is extremely easy to work with - always professional. Pricing was best of the contractors I considered. Will be working with him this week on a third property. I no longer even consider going with anyone else.

Job was started ahead of schedule, all permits pulled, they coordinated with the municipal inspector as well as the plumber who had to move the laundry tub and plumbing lines for this job. They cleaned up everything and left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Tom and his crew at Dun Rite!

The Dun-Rite team was very professional and the seller was very pleased with the final job.
Description of Work: I am a Realtor. The buyer of one of my listings had a basement inspection by an structural engineer. Based on his report, the entire perimeter of the interior wall was dug up and a new drain tile system installed. Because the walls were out of plumb, vertical beams were also installed. on all four walls. Time was of the essence because the closing was already installed.

Contractor examined the foundation and provided an estimate for repairs. Estimate was provided for negotiating purchase of a home that we did not buy, so repairs were not completed.

This companies services were very reasonable. We had called a few companies and this company was the best in price. They were very friendly. We were definitely treated good. The gentleman that did the work made sure everything was working properly. He then gave us a lesson on how the breaker box worked. He showed us how to turn off the main power. He also showed us how to reset a tripped breaker. Their service is wonderful.
Description of Work: Dun-Rite Contractors upgraded our electric by changing our old fuse system to a new full 200 amp circuit breaker system.

THEY WERE GOOD ABOUT GIVING US AN ESTIMATE, BUT NOT AS GOOD ABOUT LETTING US KNOW WHERE WE WERE ON THEIR SCHEDULE AS WE WOULD HAVE LIKED. WE HAD SOME BACK-AND-FORTH ABOUT WHEN THE WORK MIGHT GET DONE, AND SOME OF OUR PHONE CALLS DIDN'T GET RETURNED FOR A FEW DAYS. ONCE WE WERE ON THEIR SCHEDULE AND THEIR WORKERS WERE ON OUR SITE, HOWEVER, EVERYTHING WENT LIKE CLOCKWORK. THEY WERE TERRIFIC ABOUT EXPLAINING WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND HOW THE BASEMENT SYSTEMS WORKED. WHEN WE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT DRAINAGE AND FOUNDATION ISSUES NOT RELATED TO THE WORK THEY WERE DOING, THEY WERE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN WHAT SHOULD BE DONE AND HOW WE CAN DO IT. THEY DIDN'T TRY TO TALK US INTO LETTING THEM ''FIX'' PROBLEMS THAT WE COULD EASILY DO OURSELVES. THEY LEFT THE SITE CLEAN, BOTH THE BASEMENT AND THE BACK YARD. I THINK THEIR PRICE WAS FAIR, BUT NOT A BARGAIN. WE WOULD DEFINITELY CALL THEM AGAIN AND RECOMMEND THEM TO OTHERS.
Description of Work: WE HAVE A DOWNHILL SLOPE IN OUR BACKYARD THAT ENDS AT OUR HOUSE. OUR FOUNDATION INSPECTOR RECOMMENDED THAT WE SHOULD FIX THE FOUNDATION PROBLEMS. WE FOUND A LOT OF SEEPAGE IN THE BASEMENT DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, LARGELY FROM THE REAR FOUNDATION WALL. THE CONTRACTORS EXCAVATED THE REAR CORNER OF OUR HOUSE SO THAT THEY COULD STRAIGHTEN THE WALL, REMOVING DRIVEWAY AND PATIO CONCRETE IN THE PROCESS. AFTER THEY STRAIGHTENED THE WALL, THEY TUCKPOINTED THE WALL AND ATTACHED REINFORCING RODS TO THE INSIDE OF THE WALL TO STRENGTHEN THAT SIDE OF THE FOUNDATION. FINALLY, THEY FILLED IN THE DIRT AND POURED NEW CONCRETE IN THE EXCAVATED AREA. THEY ALSO BROKE UP THE INSIDE PERIMETER OF THE BASEMENT CONCRETE FLOOR, REMOVED THE OLD DRAIN TILE, AND REPLACED IT. THEY HAD THE SUMP PUMP INSTALLED, THEN POURED NEW CONCRETE TO REPLACE THE REPAIRED PORTIONS OF THE BASEMENT FLOOR. THIS TOOK A BIT OVER A WEEK.
