Get matched with top pipe repairers in Stafford, CT

"

We contracted with M&M because the land-layout caused water to invade our basement in times of rain.  AJ came and gave us an estimate.  We had 2 other estimates ?but AJ?s plan sounded much better thought-out than the others who seemed to have a limited scope of the situation.

AJ proposed to lay perforated pipe along the house to channel the water down the slope and away from the house.  He offered to put a channel drain in front of the basement door, and tie in all downspouts into underground pipes to avoid erosion and flooding in those areas.  Also included was a drain box on the garage side with an outflow so as not to have standing water exposed.  This had always been a wet spot that accumulated about a 4 inch depth of water in a good rainstorm.

Due to our personal commitments we had to postpone the start, and then of course AJ had other engagements, but we finally hit on a date, and AJ came with 3 other fellows to begin work.  We had to take a week off again because of personal commitments, but AJ and troop came back when we returned and finished the job.  They graded the areas and seeded them and put down straw to make sure the seeds didn?t float away.

The rain we've had so far hasn?t put a dent into the new system so we have high hopes AJ?s endeavor has been the cure-all.  Will post an update ? probably by fall.

AJ and his crew are very friendly, amiable, and very hard workers. They clean up after themselves and are very obliging.  Great to work with!

"Oliver Beer came promptly, analyzed the problem, gave us a price to do the work and a date that he would be able to start. We had purchased the replacement windows, as my husband was going to do the work himself. He had removed one window; discovered the framework supporting the old window was rotted beyond his capabilities to repair, and asked me to locate a professional to do the work. Mr. Beer started the replacement work by pulling out the old rotted wood; the old insulation- including moss that had grown up between the wall and the old aluminum siding that has been on this 1940's Cape probably since the 40's. It took him all of the first day just to clean up the window spaces so that he could actually start replacing the framing for the windows. It was a lot of work, and we are very appreciative of his remarkable effort to give us a gorgeous view of our back yard, that we had never had, and improve my bird -watching. Although we had purchased windows that were designed for 'new construction' Mr. Beer said he could make it work and he did. The result is perfectly framed windows that are 'new construction' perfect both inside and out. After each phase of the work, Mr. Beer cleaned up all wood and sawdust and bagged it. He had to leave his equipment in our garage and my husband wanted to be sure it was there safely. The slide bar lock on the garage door didn't lock properly, so my husband had to drill out the connection, Mr. Beer, at his own initiative, fixed the lock that hadn't worked properly in the 25 years we have lived in the house, and we now have a garage door, even though it is old, works properly. His attention to the smallest detail was a delight and was unexpected. To have found a contractor so dedicated to his craft is unheard of these days. We would, and will, hire him to do more work on this old house in the near future. His charge was reasonable for the enormous amount of work he had to do on what should have been a simple window replacement. We are very grateful to him for accepting this awful challenge. I just hope my review doesn't get him a flood of work that is as awful as this one. He deserves to have work that is simple and straight forward."

"They did a good job. I asked them to do something and they did it."

"Everything went great, there were a couple changes that had to be made as the job progressed, we found out the old toilet had been leaking pretty badly, and there was a bunch of rotting floor boards.  Other than that they completed the job within our time frame, cleaned the house up at the end of each day very well, and really treated our home like it was theirs.  Everything was sealed up with plastic barriers so we wouldn't get dust throughout the house, I was very pleased about that.  We plan to have them back in the next year or two for the kitchen.

"Excellent! The crew started early one day, worked throughout the day, and were completely finished and all cleaned up (including dumpster and removal of all debris) by day's end."

"Mr K repaired my Garbage Disposal. Working on also replacing the Faucets in my 1st floor bathroom."

"The gals I worked with were really nice. They told me everything to expect and everything went exactly like they said it would. I paid exactly what they quoted me. I had no surprises - accept that it was exactly as promised! I never did expect to be as easy and smooth as it was."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"Excellent Quality and Service. Very responsive and completed all work as agreed.

"Because we were doing complete new vinyl Siding,Windows, and Gutters, We were nervous who to choose. I found Carefree Home Pros on the Internet and set up an appointment with them. They took about two hours and were very thorough. Their prices seemed competitive and their products had good quality. I did have have a few questions about the company so the salesman arranged a meeting with us and the owner to put our minds at ease. Considering we live at opposite sided of the state it was a very positive gesture. We decided to go with Carefree because they had a great product, Competitive price and a good work ethic. Because were wanted Anderson 400 windows it took 4 weeks to get them, but once they were here they started work immediately and finished in two weeks, just as planned.The house was stripped of all old siding, plywood was replaced where damaged, and the house was completely wrapped with house wrap. They installed my new windows in one day! The trim on the house was done exceptionally well with lots of attention to detail. The workers were pleasant and courteous and cleaned up before they went home every day.
We would definitely use them again. Our Home looks great,our windows are draft free, and it even withstood a hurricane with no damage.
