"I cannot say enough great things about Phil and his crew! He provided a quick estimate and then came back again with me when I was back in town and provided a look of all our pipes with his camera for free (others were charging hundreds of dollars). He scheduled the work extremely quick and sent me pictures with updates. I was really in a pinch to get this work done - I needed a lot of details of the work and the need to get it done and a competitive price. Phil came through 100%. They did great work and cleaned the place up better than when they first arrived."

".I researched many different options to encapsulate my dirt floor basement crawlspace from taped liners to cement, and I am so glad that I decided to go with the polyurea seamless liner that this company specializes in installing.  Josh, a company representative, came out, looked over the crawlspace,, took measurements and pictures,and the next day I received two quotes from Chuck Modica - one for the crawlspace encapsulation only and one for the encapsulation with the drain tile system and sump pump.  Chuck even made a special trip to my house to inspect the crawlspace to see if he thought a drain tile system was necessary.  Throughout the process there was no hard sell,  He  gave me the facts and answered all my questions in a confident,professional manner.  I was especially impressed when Chuck showed up with the crew to help with the job.  They removed tree roots that had grown under the foundation into the crawlspace, broke up and removed a huge bolder that had been there for some unknown reason probably for a hundred years, and even leveled the crawlspaces under my front porch which were not part of the bided project.  When I returned from a weekend trip and looked at the finished project, I couldn't be happier with the completed job.  My tenet who lives below me and does her laundry in the cemented front portion of the basement separate from the crawlspace noticed a difference in the air quality right away.  Chuck also e-mailed about a long ago disconnected pipe  that was slow leaking from an outside valve.,  He arranged the pipe so it drained into the tile system and offered to have one of his crew members who has a key to the outside drainage system come out to shut off the valve causing the leak  The company and employes go the extra mile to make sure you are a satisfied customer and I am one.

"When we bought this house we were planning to renovate the basement.  The previous owner had represented that it had never taken on water.  The first weekend we were here, however, a torrential rainstorm caused the basement to flood.  We realized we needed to waterproof it before we could do anything else, and decided that drain tiling was the safest way to go.
Greg was phenomenally responsive from the start.  He was very clear about what needed to be done and how they would do it.  He also described some optional work but was explicit that it was optional and if it didn't fit within our budget that was that, and he wasn't going to push it the slightest bit.  His quote blew away the bigger, well-known firm and was less than or on a par with some others.  He also agreed to demo the walls for a slight extra charge, which otherwise would have been a huge convenience for us.  Between then and the start of work I emailed him repeatedly with various questions and he responded almost instantly.  When his workers took down the paneling we got the unpleasant news that we had huge cracks in the walls that would need to be tuckpointed and in one area a big chunk of foundation was jutting from the wall.  That section of the foundation would need to be replaced and a support beam installed.  We were more or less at Greg's mercy at this point -- we weren't going to halt work and bring in a series of guys to quote the tuckpointing & repair -- but Greg gave us an estimate of $2,600-$3,000.  We can't know for sure, but suspect that this price was more than fair, and Greg stuck to it even though we think the work turned out to be more than they expected.
The project manager, Jim, was fantastic to work with throughout, very communicative and accomodating, and the crew of five guys or so was extremely friendly and professional.  All in all, A Perfect Crawlspace was a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the results.

"Brian and his crew returned to my building on a warranty followup- their previous work done wonders for my flooding problems, but my foundation walls are apparently made of swiss cheese and there was one small seepage problem remaining which only shows up during a "100 year rain event".  Brian indicated that they go for 100%, not 99% and scheduled time to come back out to my building to address the issue under the warranty (a.k.a. free of charge) from the original work.  They came back out, dug up the foundation again, and found a crack hidden behind an old hasty concrete patching job that had been tarred over, which was determined to be causing the remaining seepage.  They repaired the crack and were done with the whole task in only hours.  I am a repeat customer, and can't say enough good things about Crawlspace and Basement Waterproofing solutions, they are friendly, helpful, and most of all, stand behind their work!

"Roger and his crew at Brick Creations & Landscaping are fantastic! I’ve used them now for 2 of my homes, a retaining wall, paver driveway & miscellaneous landscaping, and highly recommend. I had multiple quotes for both jobs and felt more confident with this company vs the big ones. They ensure they’re using the right material and explain the process and their recommendations. I am a tough customer to please and they’ve gone above and beyond my expectations each time. I trust they will do a great job and will always come back to them in the future. The crew works incredibly hard and will ensure you’re happy with the results."

"This was a third project with Pavercare and once again they didn't disappoint.  It happened in 2 separate work orders as once I saw what a great job they did, I wanted them to finish it all.
As an attorney, I am a half-decent landscaper :D (though nothing like these guys!).  I had put in paver bullets and rock myself when we moved into our home over 15 years ago.  With time, they sank and no amount of grass trimming made them stand out like they once had.  I had also wanted to extend paver bullets around the sidewalk they put in, but didn't have the time.  Finally, I Once again, Pavercare to the rescue!!!
The day work began, I was happy to see Gaspar arrive as I knew the work would be done far and beyond anything I'd get from another provider.  He is very easy to work with and takes direction well.  I just told him what I was looking for and he went right to it!
Once again, bushes were tied up to prevent damage, weeds were removed, no extra charge... work went as well as expected.  Neighbors were actually coming by after they left asking who did the work. I was glad to tell them!
They accidentally damaged a couple of our sprinkler heads in the process.  Gaspar was actually able to fix one of them on his own... this guy is very handy!  When I let TC know about the other, he told me to have our regular sprinkler guy come out and just take it off the bill!  Talk about customer service!
After seeing what they did, I had to have them come out to raise what I had done and expand it. Also, I hadn't got around to getting my mulching done.  We have 3/4s of an acre lot with a mulch line that follows our fence.  It is usually a 3 day job for me by myself and all I am doing is hauling and spreading mulch.  When I mentioned this to TC, he said they could help there as well!   They really made my life quite simple.
Again, our comes Gaspar and his crew again.  They had the bullets raised and extended with rock added in a couple hours, for what would have taken me 2 days of work.  They then started on the mulch... and again, went above the call of duty.  They cut in a new mulch line to make the mulch look nicer!  Took them coming back from an extra day, but the results are stunning!  I couldn't have done it better myself
THE AFTER STORY...
I noticed that they had forgot to do my garden area (they ran out of mulch) and they didn't have enough rock to finish off my upper planter... texted TC on Saturday... on Monday morning they were out and finished everything, including weed removal again, in less than 2 hours...
There is just no other way to say it... use Pavercare... they are the best!!!"

"As all the other reviews mention, Andry can be difficult to understand due to the language barrier and accent. When I called to schedule an inspection for a quote, he just said he would be in town on Sunday & would call me when he would arrive. Instead of calling to say he would be there in an approximate time, he called when he was outside the house, which was unfortunate because I had just run to the store and had to turn around immediately. When he came back out to sign the actual contract/invoice, he did call to give me an approximate arrival time so I could plan to be home. The original quote was written on the back of a business card. If it wasn't for the other reviews, I would have dismissed him outright.
I had a corner of the foundation that was seriously cracked and chipping away. It was mostly a stucco exterior, but the underlying concrete was damaged too. He came on Sunday to sign the contract and came back on Monday to do the work. I came home from work that day to find him cleaning up after restoring the entire side of my foundation. It was beautifully done and looks like solid work. The only downside is that it doesn't match the other 3 sides because they have a "roughed up" white stucco look. He told me that I could easily paint the concrete to match, which I may or may not do. I like Andry's work much better than the original look of the white stucco exterior. It's a nice seamless piece of work.
I regret not taking a "before" pic because he took a worn out, crumbling slab of foundation and made it fresh & new.
