Per my request he stopped in the middle until I could finish paying for the project and he kept in touch with me during this time. We are very pleased in selecting him and the crew is very professional. I highly recommend him to others

the man in charge of the job was only here to collect the money. he hired the worst people for the job. the job was poorley done because he was trying to cut corners with labor. when the job was finally done. it wasn't water proof. i had to threaten him to take him to court, he finally (after 2 months, he finally had to get a professinal water proofer in my house to do the job the correct way. they had to break open the concrete and re do the job over. don't ever let jim morgan do work for you!

Jim has no control over the men that work for him. They are actually very hard workers. The problem is who works for who. I would never hire him again. None of the work was done to spec and i will be surprised if I dont have to get the work redone. Once again if you could get the guys that do the work to work for you they will do a good job,if you pay them.Never recieved any gaurentee for the work either,gee what a surprise....

Jim Holleran is courteous that they will be back to finish the job. It's three months and they have dug the basement 2 feet below the foundation whithout underpinning or pouring a bench footing. Their was a dumpster in my driveway (which the driveway was damaged by the dumpster co.) to finish digging the basement and it's gone. He doesn't return my calls and the foundation of my home is in jeorpady. Please advise for my next course of action.

They were very nice guys and they did a good job, but I am still waiting for them to come back and finish my steps and clean up my yard.

My overall experience with Morgan Builders/Jim Holleran was very poor. For the following reasons. The contractor, Jim Holleran failed to provide me with a blueprint and or diagram of the work which to be done and completed in my basement. I made this request twice on March 8th and 9th, 2004. Bathroom Poor workmanship, there are two holes in the wall where the plumber passed the plumbing through the wall. My four year son is put his hand through the wall. These holes are under the bathroom sink and behind the toilet. However, they are visible to the eye. The toilet does not flush. If you flush the toilet it backs up and if you use a plunger it makes water drip for the sink in the bathroom. THRASH, THRASH, THRASH They contractors left (3 weeks ago)piles of thrash in what is an emergency access way for about 40 homes. The City of Philadelphia has issued me a citation for this thrash. The thrash is comprised of sheet rock, plywood, food the contractors ate. I have been calling for three weeks about this thrash. I have spoken with Jim Holleran and Rob, each time I am promised the thrash is going to be picked up. DAMAGES: There are huge oil stains on my sidewalk. These stains are from

If you come across this guy -RUN! Actually before you do, pin him down and call us so we might be able to get some of our money back. He's a complete dead beat. We plan on suing. It took 9 months for us to complete our project and we took over about 7 months through because Jim Holleran would not call us back. Ended up sub contracting it out ourselves and spending $15,000 more than we should have had to. This project was a complete nightmare. Everything was done sub-par and a lot needed to be re-done. Stay away from this guy.

The basement water proof portion of the project was done very well and very timely, the sub-contactors also did a very nice job of cleaning up. The sub-contractor who did the actual basement remodel was neither neat nor timely. Morgan builders has also failed to reimburse me for plumbing damage done while installing the dry-wall. I would not recommend Morgan Builders for any home improvement projects

Jim Holleran was very imformative and couteous to my needs. The overall rating was excellent. The only reason I rated quality and value good is because only time will tell if the work prevents water from entering my basement. I would highly recommend Morgan Builders and Waterproofing based on the service that I received.

Morgan Builders did professional workmanship for repairing outter brick structure to prevent water seepage into basement. Drywalling of basement area wall and removing previous panelled wall well done. Sometimes, did not arrive timely when you expected workers, but kept in constant contact and stayed on top of things. No heavy rains but NO wet basement to date. Offered discount and competetive pricing.

My experience with Jim Holleran was a pleasurable one -- with the exception of a twice delayed start date for my job. However, he remained easy to contact and stayed in touch by returning my calls, promptly. I'm unable to give the highest marks optionable for his work quality at this time, only because it's premature to do so. There's been no rain, so no leakage would be expected. Provided my basement never leaks again, I would not hesitate to rate the quality of his work to be "Very Good." He was competitive in his rate/fee and offered a 10% discount incentive for cash. His crew worked hard and neatly with their own materials, but ruined some of my belongings in my basement by being sloppy with their beverages! Overall, I've already recommended this company to a neighbor...
