"Had a front door installed where there had not been one. Contractor went above and beyond what was expected by installing insulation and OSB where we had already removed existing siding. Contractor cleaned up and removed all debris from job site. We will be using this contractor for other projects in the near future."

"I know of no other contractor who has total customer satisfaction as his top priority like Mr. Flanagan does. He is absolutely the best.
My basement sustained ankle-deep water as the result of an outdoor basement stairwell drain that violently backed up because its circa-1951 drain line led to the street storm sewer (by design). That sewer was overcome with water during a storm in the summer of 2010 that featured a tornado in my western-suburbs area. Soon after pumping the water out of my basement with a mobile pump, the mess prompted me to (once again*) call Mr. Flanagan (*His crawlspace crew had done a beautiful job finishing my dirt-floor crawlspace with a concrete floor and wall insulation a couple of years earlier).
After the basement waterproofing project described in this review was complete, however, I was disappointed with the workmanship: The concrete work looked less-than-professional (out-of-flush with sump flange and the stairwell drain, plus way too many swirl marks and splattering) in the stairwell and basement's appearance areas. In short, it just didn't look like his business's flawless concrete job that was done in my crawlspace just years earlier.
Mr. Flanagan agreed. With no questions asked, he immediately had a different crew come to my home, tear out all of the previously laid concrete and drain lines and replace it with the workmanship that he would expect his crews to use in their own homes. The re-do of the project at least had met my high expectations for its cosmetics. And, of course, I hoped it was a sufficient waterproofing solution for my basement.
Fast forward just a few short years. Affter having perhaps sustaining that 100-year event with the Chicago-area rain storm of April 17-18, 2012, while my neighbors are pumping water out of their basements, mine remains bone dry. Thank you Mr. Flanagan and Crawlspace / Basement Waterproofing Solutions for a job (design and installation) well done. Your basement waterproofing solution indeed deserves an A+.

"My wife contacted several painters in the local area for price quotes. She knew she wanted David and his team the moment she met him. He was professional, extremely knowledgable, and he gave us a military discount. My landlord was very particular about how she wanted the house painted and David took all of that into consideration. Leading up to the job, he notified me when he purchased the specific paint she wanted and the total cost. He also contacted me the day prior and the morning of. His team arrived on time. I don't think we anticpiated how long it was going to take for our two story home to get loaded into that truck but it took most of the day. David worked solo on painting while his team moved and never missed a beat. In fact, when my landlord showed up to check on the progress she started grilling him and he had answers for everything...different kinds of paints, bases, primer use and when, cutting style, technique, etc. etc. She left pleased as he now does painting for her other homes! As the day wore on, he bought his team lunch and dinner (including me) to keep his guys' motivated. He even bought my dog some snacks for the long cross-country drive we were about to embark on. When I kept noticing small things I didn't want to get dinged on by my landlord, I ran it by him, he looked at the area (stairwell, closet, and another bedroom that wasn't included in the original quote), and gave me a fair price to do the job right now. I was very impressed! I kept making his day longer and longer by requesting more work from him and his team and they kept working. I understand they are getting paid but was impressed with his professional ability to adapt and press until the work was accomplished. The walk through the following day went great and as I said, my landlord went from being a doubter (because I didn't go with her guy and maybe get money out of me) to now using him on her other properties! I would use David Murphy and his team again and I would reccommend them to anyone in the central Illinois area looking to have quality, affordable, painting done for their residence or business.

"Patrick had some trouble getting here because he was at another job when he called to find out what was wrong and was needed. He had to call two times knowing that he would be later than he said. When he arrived he spent 2 hours including checking other areas to make sure he was able to complete unplugging my bathroom sink. Think he even got basement sink running right. He did a good job.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, engineers assess soil load-bearing capacity and provide construction guidelines.

Having a trusted crawl space contractor is the key to great encapsulation. If you're not sure how to hire a crawl space pro, begin by asking your neighbors for referrals. Homes in your neighborhood will often have a similar foundation to your house, and personal recommendations are one of the best ways to find a contractor. Additionally, double-check that the contractor has experience with encapsulation as well as proof of their license and insurance.

In perfect conditions—meaning, no overexposure to the elements without roofing material on top of it—an ice and water shield can last for decades. In fact, many come with a limited lifetime warranty because they should last for a long time. If, however, the membrane is exposed to the elements during building or if there is a delay in installing the roofing material, it might only last up to 180 days if exposed to the elements. The key is to make it a layer of protection and then protect that layer by installing the roofing.

Home improvement grants are available for various groups, including individuals with very low-income housing, elderly people, older adults, and veterans. These grants can cover a range of needs, from accessibility modifications to addressing critical issues that may affect a resident's health or safety.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses.
