"Customer Service was good. However pump was installed in a different spot then was discussed with out proper consultation. Despite prior assurances, the basement was not closed off during jack hammering, thus creating a thick layer of dust over the entire basement."

"Jon is professional and a man of his word. My wife and I had some leakage in our finished basement. After substantial research, I contacted several companies in the area. Jon and his crew at Eastern responded faster than every other company and offered us the best price for the least hassle. The crew works hard and fast. They were respectful of our home and property and cleaned up after themselves when they were done working. Our interior foundation drain is working great and can sleep in peace knowing that our basement is dry, even on the wettest nights.They stand by their work and even came out to install a false floor under our oil tank after we replaced it., at no additional fee. I would 100% recommend Jon and his crew for all of your waterproofing needs."

"The work went quickly and professionally. The crew was careful to
protect our environment and to keep us notified of what they were doing
and when to expect noise, etc. This was especially important as we have
three older dogs and we were able to schedule their water theraphy for
the noisiest day. There was an additional problem discovered with
plumbing into the basement. A pipe from the street to the water meter
had to be replaced by another contractor. The Basement Guys were unable
to waterproof that spot until after the repair was completed. They
returned promptly and completed the work, also double checking for any
chips or gaps that had arisen in the foam insulation and fixing them
and touching up the waterproofing epoxy where the termite company had
drilled holes in the basement wall. We were extremely pleased with
their service. They are phenomenal!We highly recommend Dry-X Waterprofing.

"James and his crew just finished my yard this Friday afternoon. They did an amazing job. Let me start from the very beginning. When I called for a quote, James returned the call expediently and he came on site. He gave me a quote. The quote was in the ball park, but what was special about James is that he had a vision! He examined the grounds and immediately came out with a plan based on your needs. James started to work in this business when he was only 6 years old as this is family business of three generations. Even though he is still so young, he is so very experienced. My initial plan was to repave the driveway. But after they came that day, I told James that I would like to get the backyard patio and the retaining wall fixed. They decided to start the patio first before the driveway. They were flexible and sent a crew to work on the patio next day. The patio with the retaining wall was done perfectly. They even added a drainage pipe to divert the rain in the retaining wall. The path leading to the front door of the house needed to be done also. Again, James had a vision how the new path should flow. I adopted his plan. The crew did a fantastic job. As the back yard was uneven. The crew brought tons of dirt and levelled the back yard. They extended the size of my yard by at least one third into the woods. The yard was graded so that excessive rain would flow into the woods. I am extremely pleased with the result. Today was the last day. They had 8 or 9 crews on site. They finalized the stonework and paved the driveway. Everything was done as scheduled. I asked James to spread some pebble rocks next to the newly built path. He did it. James and his crew have exceeded my expectations! They delivered high quality work timely and professionally. They got an A in my book. The total cost of my project was $57800. It might look a little pricey, but a lot of work was done. To be specific, here is the list of work done: A good size patio with retaining all A path from patio to the driveway The walking path from the driveway to the front door of the house (long) Levelling the back yard Small wall around a good size flower bed (10x20 approximately Retaining wall by the driveway Repaving the driveway (85 feet approximately) A few days after the job was done and paid for, I found some imperfections on the driveway, James sent his crew over and fixed those imperfections. Great service for after care. Thank you!"

"Max and his team of professionals completed the job well under budget, timely, and may I add looks gorgeous. 3 other contractors wanted nearly double the price but we are glad we with Max Construction. The job included removing a window and installing a sliding patio door, installing wainscoting in the dining and living room, and installing a brand new front door with sidelite (I did not have sidelights prior). I now have curb appeal and a gorgeous interior!!! If you want high quality carpentry and other remodeling done to your home without getting ripped off look no further than Max Construction.....he will make your dream home come to life!!!!"

"We have never had a better snow removal service. Can we give an A+ rating? Ivan is very professional and responsive, totally reliable and so thorough! And he really cares about his customers and listening to their concerns. Snow and ice removal is a safety issue at our house, so it is stressful in the winters. Ivan took away so much stress and we will hire him back for sure!"
