"A few months ago we contacted a number of contractors to inspect our crumbling balconies for much needed repair. We decided on Cement Works, because they are very knowledgeable about balcony, brick repairs, and restoration. They took a sensible approach to repairing the balconies. Liz, Mark, Matt and Dan did a great job! We will have them back again next year."

"They were responsive, returned calls, scheduled when it was convenient, showed up on time, did the work and cleaned up. It was expensive but it is worth it. The floor looks great, is easy to clean. No more crumbling pitted concrete."

"Excellent work at a very fair price. Capa Construction (Tom) was great to work with. His quotes were very thorough and very competitive, the work was done on-time as scheduled, and completed with very high quality. We are planning to use Capa Construction for other jobs now. We are definitely happy with our experience for both jobs - roof replacement and chimney repair."

"Jamie did a fantastic job. I am very happy with his work. Very professional and expert. He came with few of his guys and finished the work in a day. Even though it took couple of calls to get them to come back to remove wood boards and fix my lawn, Jamie was very responsive. Some of his people may not understand the details. But he did a California style patio for me. And I am very happy with his work."

"Did a fantastic job A+ job"

"We called Bob to do an estimate on our roof. He explained that he had jobs lined up to be completed before ours, but if we sprang a leak, he would come and tarp it immediately. Fortunately, that didn't happen. As it was July, Bob and his helper showed up quite early in the morning to begin work. Bob explained his work schedule, meaning he would take off in the worst of the afternoon heat and return in the evening to continue. They draped tarps around the house to catch errant nails and shingles as they tore off the old roof. We learned that there are certain detailed tasks that Bob does himself, like flashing around a chimney. He is very particular about the quality of his work which we consider a excellent trait in a workman. The roof was completed in a matter of days and the yard was cleaned up. Our roof looks great and we have had compliments from so many of our neighbors. We will definitely call him again!  <br /> <br /> <br />"

"I can’t be happier with the quality of the basement waterproofing. And most importantly, for the rate they had charged, this company was worth every buck."

"<p>We had been having problems with leaks in our sunken living room for quite a while. The leaks started last year and we had PermaSeal come out and do a "repair" which ended up not working. (The amount of water was reduced, but it still kept coming in, even after PermaSeal did a wrap seal of our foundation.) Frustrated, especially after PermaSeal did not guarantee their last job and wanted to charge us 1000s of dollars for a redo, we consulted with our neighbor across the street who had a similar problem that arose right when ours did. They said Safeguard had IDd and fixed their leak issue (same spot as ours) for a third of what PermaSeal charged, so we called Safeguard.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Phil from Safeguard came out very promptly (actually early! He asked permission to come a full 2 hours early if it was convenient for me, and I said yes). He looked at the area where we suspected the leak occurred and commented that PermaSeal (his former employer!) had done a poor job. He also remarked that the leak might not even be a foundation leak, but rather an above-grade leak like a mortar problem or chimney problem that was then dripping down behind the drywall. He conducted a series of tests using water from our hose to see where water might seep in depending on where the water was pointed. He did a "flood" test of the ground near the foundation---no leak. Then he pointed to some spots where there was missing caulk on our chimney seams, and said that the water could be getting in there instead. He had me go inside and look inside the fireplace while he trained the hose on these side seams, and BINGO! That's where the water was getting in. He found the exact leak location when PermaSeal could not (they just "guessed") Phil then said, "Well, we don't fix that since it's above-grade, so I recommend you contact a siding or chimney company to make those repairs. I'm not going to sell you something that won't fix the real problem just to make my commission."</p> <p>Phil spent nearly 2 hours identifying the true source of our water problem, even when it would not benefit him or his company. Very honest and decent guy, and we WILL use this company when we do have a foundation problem. Great!</p> <br />"
