"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."

"We have a 1920s bungalow with a cinderblock foundation and routine seepage issues.  Interior drain tile was also an option but with a partially finished basement, I think ultimately would have been more expensive after putting walls back together, etc..  And, personally i'd rather stop the water before it enters the house.  I felt as though i was getting the "cookie cutter" solution from the other highly rated angies list waterproofers and they definitely like to nickel and dime on their expensive battery backup systems.  Chuck spent a considerable more time at the house, didn't give us the BS sales presentation with all of the pamphlets, gave us a timely quote, and ultimately just made us feel the most comfortable.  
The job went very well and I wouldn't hesitate to use High Tech for additional jobs in the future.  Chuck is very professional and responsive, easy to work with.  It took a while to coordinate with the excavator which is subbed out, but we were in no big rush and everything worked out great.  The job took four days.  We've had some heavy fall rains and not a drop of water in the basement.
"

"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!

"As noted above they were here as promsed and the work was done very professionally and the  gentleman (Martin Jaime) who gave us the estimate was there all day to supervise the work.  Martin was always concerned about what we thought about the work as it progressed and discussed various issues with me throughout the day.  The work was completed by 3:30PM.  They did an excellent job with the clean up of the yards and removed all materials, etc as requested.   They even brought in a power washer and cleaned the sidewalks and the driveway off.   We were very please with the work performed and the manner in which it was perform.  We would certainly use them again and would highly recommend them."

"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!!!"
