"Jeff had done beautiful work at my parents house so I was excited to use him for a kitchen remodel in my first home. He is always friendly, professional, and responsive. He can handle any kind of issue that may arise, such as the need to move an unexpected vent. For our kitchen he tore down a pantry closet and the soffit, installed new flooring, cabinets, backsplash, shelving, range hood, lighting. He has great recommendations and his attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your project!"

EXPERIENCED BASEMENT REMODELING**Specializing and perfecting BASEMENT REMODELING for over 30 years!** You can trust in us! Family owned and operated spanning over three generations. We don't use subcontractors on our jobs, and I am personally there to work and oversee each and every job. We have our own licensed electrician and plumber, as well as a specialist in taping and mudding. We Pay Close Attention to Detail We believe that attention to detail and customer service sets us apart from our competition, allowing us to continue focusing on each client as if they were our only customer. We use metal studs in our framing work, and I will be happy to discuss with you why this should be the only framing material you should use in your basement. We recognize that our customers are making an investment in their homes, and it is very important to us that you have a good experience from the beginning to end. Not only professional and quality workmanship, but great customer service too.

"The name “Craftsman” is a stretch. My experience with this company was very disappointing. • The crew was careless — our basement was full of paint, and they didn’t bother laying down sheets to protect our brand-new vinyl floors. • They grabbed tools from our home (like push brooms) without asking and even washed their hands in our kitchen sink. • When asked to lay down a rug to protect the floor, they used a tiny piece that barely covered anything. • They expect prompt payment even while work is still pending. • When I couldn’t leave work for a final walkthrough, the owner showed up, got aggressive, and told my wife and child to go upstairs. Completely unprofessional. • They work very limited hours (roughly 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and don’t accommodate your schedule. • They left all their trash — filled up our garbage cans and left extra bags behind. • Their paint job was sloppy. They sprayed instead of rolling, missed tons of spots, didn’t tape anything, and got paint on outlet covers and other areas. They ended up giving us a $200 credit for the poor quality. • The contract is vague by design — he refers back to it later to say something “isn’t included.” Definitely read the fine print carefully. • Charged us an extra $3,500 for inspection delays, yet still demanded full payment before the inspection was complete. • Constantly asked for cash payments (I only paid by check). • Damaged our shuffleboard table by setting tools on top without asking. • Didn’t install quarter round on the trim and didn’t fill nail holes — just another lazy shortcut. • Claims to have 30 years of experience, but experience doesn’t mean quality or professionalism. David and Mike seem overall respectable, Larry is the issue. • Overall, they rushed through the job, missed small details, and admitted they didn’t think we’d check their work with proper lighting. Summary: Expect shortcuts, poor communication, and lack of respect for your property. Definitely not the level of quality or professionalism you’d expect from someone calling themselves a “craftsman.” Pricing is ok but keep looking as you can probably find a match with much better customer service"

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Water that pools on concrete indicates a low spot somewhere on your driveway. You can level the slab with a concrete patching compound to help redirect water. You can also install drainage over existing concrete by digging out enough space for a channel drain or French drain or by adding a culvert below the slab.

While it’s possible to install a French drain yourself, you should opt for hiring a professional if you need a large complex drain system installed. French drain installers have the necessary expertise and tools required to install the drain correctly, so you won’t have to deal with the consequences if you install it incorrectly.

If you are looking for a culvert alternative, a bridge is another option. Either way, building a bridge or culvert should be done by a professional since improper installation can lead to dangerous washouts and collapses.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Using filter fabric is highly recommended because it helps prevent debris and sediment from clogging the drain. It’s best to use a non-woven geotextile landscape fabric for your French drain because it is designed to allow water to flow through but not soil particles and other debris. It’s durable and long-lasting, which is why it’s the top choice for French drains.
