"Excellent, as always. They have done SO much work for us over the years - 13 years since I have been here at our condo. We have two catch basins that need to be rodded and cleaned as preventive maintenance regularly. They have also done some work for us when we've had tree roots grow into our sewer lines. They were far less expensive than other quotes and did the work just as well. They are terrific. Angel, who always services our condo building is the best!"

"We removed the wood paneling in the basement shortly after moving in.  That's when we noticed 13 cracks in the foundation.  None of them structural issues.  They came in and repaired all of them in one day.  A couple of them were difficult to get to due to stairs and piping, but they did a great job on all of them.

"We were in the inspection process of buying a house, and Greg agreed to do an estimate, even though we knew the crawlspace might have been a deal breaker for us since it was in pretty bad shape.  The home inspector suggested a vapor barrier.  I searched Angie's list and found Greg and his crew.  
Another local company I called would not come out to do an estimate since it was only a home inspection, and we weren't 100% sure we were going to buy the house, let alone complete the work after the purchase.
Upon talking with Greg the first time, I had a feeling that he was going to do a good job and be easy to work with.  He was very straight forward and truthful.
The crawlspace was a dirt floor, and probably hadn't been touched in over 20 years.  It was dank, wet, full of bugs as evidenced by the webs and old traps.  It was also had the beginnings of some rather serious issues from the neglect.  The bones were good, but it was definitely time to dry it out and start over.  Originally, I was looking to get the sealed with concrete and Greg suggested a new material, a spray on material, to use instead.  He assured me it would be strong enough to be used for storage items.  It would also save us 4 inches of clearance over the concrete, which makes a difference in a crawl space.  I decided to go with it, even though it was a brand new method at the time for Greg and his team.
 We decided to move forward and buy the house and we also decided to hire Greg and team to help transform the space in to a working storage area.
I could not be more happy with the result.  Greg's team showed up and immediately got to work.  Even though the house was not being lived in at the time and other contractors were there, the entrance and work areas were covered in plastic which is good thing as the guys coming out of the crawl were covered in mud.  I was surprised out how swiftly the crew got to work.  They got the job done quickly, and were extremely professional throughout the entire process.
After a fantastically wet spring, it turns out that a foundation crack was causing some very minor seepage from the outside after all of the work was complete.  Other houses in the area had their entire basements and crawls completely flooded.  Greg came back and sealed a very small crack free of charge to finish up the job.
I wish I had more crawlspaces to give Greg and his team more work.  I will definitely use them again should the need arise."

"i called Mark on March 24th at 8:00 am and spoke to him briefly about what I  needed done.  He asked that I email him the details, along with my contact information.  I did that as soon as I hung up the phone.  It is now April 17th and he never responded to my email or called me.



*****4/25/15  update, he called when he said that he would, arrived on the day and time, and will be giving us an estimate on what we wanted done."

"My husband and I found Donny and his crews to be professional and courteous throughout our dealings with the company. Donny put my mind at ease when he described the way in which the mold would be remediated. He assured me that everything possible would be done to be as minimally intrusive as possible while making sure that the mold was taken care of completely.
When Mike came with a crew to take care of the work they were polite and professional. My father (who has been a carpenter/foreman for 60 years and has worked with all sorts of contractors) was at our home while the work was being done. The crew answered all of his questions and kept him informed on the work that was being done. If my father, with all his experience was impressed, then I know they were professional! The house was left in excellent condition. Luckily the work under the kitchen sink was minor. After Mike took out the bottom of the cabinet and took care of the removal and containment he rebuilt a bottom for the cabinet.  When the work was completed, one of the mold tests (for the crawl) came back positive and Donny sent a crew again to solve the problem. He came out a week later to take another sample, and this one was much better. He also assured us he would like to take one more sample after a couple months just to be sure.
The only reason I gave a lower mark for punctuality was because of a mix up on dates. We were told the crew was coming on a Thursday, but they were not actually scheduled until Friday. 
Overall, we were very pleased with Mastercat and the quality of work done by Donny, Mike, and the crews.

"The firm first asked to come a couple hours later than originally planned, then arrived about 40 minutes earlier than their rescheduled time and had to wait until I returned about 30 minutes before their rescheduled time. They checked our two catch basins. One did not need much work but the other had a blockage, from crumbling mortar, that they cleared. They then rodded and sent a camera down a sewer line, to determine where there was a significant blockage, so that they could propose corrective action. They provided us a proposal for correcive action the next day. Our Board has agreed to pursue a couple of the proposals, but needs two more bids before proceeding."

"They said it would take 2 days and I didn't believe it, but indeed it was done in about 1 and 1/2 days. They dug up the concrete around the basement, removed the debris, filled it back up when they were done and cleaned up. The workers were so fast. Dominick who answered all our calls and emails, did the site visits and estimates was a saint and easy to work especially with the permit fiasco we went through. I'm confident we will not experience flooding.
