Upon arriving home from work after the first day of this project, we found that the ADB crew had hit our water heater, severing the main pipe that supplies it water. Water had sprayed all over, before the hot water was shutoff. No one from ADB contacted us about this problem. When we called them, the first response we got was that "there was no reported problem with out job." Several calls and emailed photographs later, they admitted there was indeed an "unreported" problem. They had also, without my consent, removed two sets of short steps that provided our only access to the cellar. They were both ripped from the wall, and left outside. I informed them that I was never informed that this was going to happen, and wouldn't have given permission if I had known. They said that the salesperson should have mentioned it, and that it was regular practice. The dehumidifier that was part of my contract was placed precariously atop a concrete block and resting against my water heater. In this location, it was not only in the way, but a potential hazard should it tip over. I took time off from work the next day to speak with their main office, meet with the crew, and address these problems. While our initial calls to ADB the night of the discovery were answered, we had to wait until the next morning to speak with someone who could address our problems. They were very professional and interested in fixing the issues. The crew chief (when he arrived) was also polite and apologetic. By the end of that day, the work was done and the cellar did look great. However, when we demanded compensation for: a plumber to fix the water heater, time off from work to oversee the project, and rebuilding the stairs, they gave us a little less than a 5% percent reduction in price. Though the project had caused great stress, and cost addition money for repairs, we just wanted it to be over. Also, we were happy with the final transformation of our basement. We just wish that ADB had been more forthcoming and honest with us, from the initial description of work to be done, to the reporting of issues. I think they do provide a good product, but would recommend anyone using them to get a very clear description of what is to be removed and what work they will do. Being present during the process to give additional oversight might not be a bad idea, either."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/brookfield/american-dry-basement-systems-reviews-2038745.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"FIRST CLASS GUTTERS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CT","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Bob S."},"reviewBody":"Mr. Vasquez arrived with a crew and knocked out everything, including pulling and hauling all the old gutters.

My wife has an eagle eyes for nails and weeds. She walked the entire perimeter after Wayne's crew left and found less than half a handfull of scraps. He was quite a bit less on both the gutters and the carpentry. Whenever he ran into something unexpected, he communicated it to me to see how I wanted him to handle it.

Eco clear junk removal did a awesome job clearing a large amount of brush I needed hauled away that was left from a previous project, saved me a ton of money and time would highly recommend
The team was tasked to cut and remove 20 trees throughout the property. The team completed some of the more difficult trees, ones close to power lines and the garage, on one day and then returned the next day, completing the remainder of the trees by early afternoon. Team showed up promptly...

American Dry Basement (ADB) was contracted to seal our entire dirt cellar with their spray concrete product. Our hopes were that it would reduce the moisture under our house, keep out the winter wind and burrowing rodents, and finally provide us a place we could store seasonal furniture, etc....

Dirt Hauling questions, answered by experts
Whether you should demolish your garage or renovate it depends on your needs and the condition of the garage. You might want to build a new garage if yours is too small or in bad shape. However, if your existing garage is simply unsightly, outdated, or needs renovations, a garage remodel is a smart answer. Code changes can require you to do repairs, so talk with your contractor for a personalized bid.
No, you can’t throw your trash in any dumpster you come across—in fact, that’s considered illegal dumping, and you could be fined for it. Use your own household trash cans, and rent a dumpster for a large volume of waste. Alternatively, take it to the landfill yourself or hire a trash hauling service.
Demolition services vary in cost based on the scope of your project, but the average cost to demolish a house is around $15,500 for a 1,500-square-foot house. You can also use a per-square-foot price for demolition to get a good estimate, and you can expect to pay between $4 and $17 per square foot.
Several other factors that play a role in your pricing, including the following:
Permit costs in your area
Building material disposal method
Machinery rental costs
Lot size
Proximity to nearby structures
To take advantage of any deals on ordering gravel in bulk, it can also be beneficial in the long run to work on other gravel projects you plan to complete someday. These may include filling in a gravel driveway, building a patio, constructing a fire pit area , planning a garden walkway, or using stone instead of mulch in your flower beds.
It depends on the dumpster rental company. Some may allow you to put box springs in their dumpsters, while others may not. Ask your rental company before putting a box spring into the dumpster.
