    I do not recommend this company to anyone. They have been to my house 7 times and still can't get it right. Not once has the owner reached out to me or bothered to come see the job. The employees wont tell you who the owner is and had to ask permission first, so much for family owned and treating you like family. The job I received was absolutely poor and disgraceful. The job was issued to a sub contractor who saw a get rich quick scenario and rushed to blow the job out in 1 day. They were to install a water proofing system in 3 levels of my basement. Install 3 sump pumps and slab a crawl space with a smooth finished floor. They came in **** hammered up the floor sending dust every where through all levels of my home. There was no care taken to ensure the clean outs were flush with the new floor, all had concrete in them when they left. The waffle board was not installed neatly in all areas. They drilled weep holes in the block to allow for water drainage but neglected to clean any of the dust/debris away from the holes to allow the water to properly drain. The sump pump ***** were not installed with care or even cleaned out after they were done. The electrical ports were not installed with any care as to alignment or placement. The crawl space floor was uneven and not smooth. The cement was mixed on site and mixed incorrectly (too much sand and water). They left a form in my door way and never planed on returning to remove it. They didn't install the system in @ 3 feet section of my floor (where it was diagramed to be installed). The clean up afterwards was basic and almost non existent, while I'm left with dust covering everything. Hand prints and mud on my walls, door jams, water lines in my crawl space. Sand and concrete stains on my driveway and stairs. Garbage left outside. Grass burned from spilt concrete. I paid more than the competitors estimates thinking I was going to get a "QUILITY" job, so far the job "QUALITY" is extremely poor. STAY FAR AWAY!!!!!
