"Tim, the owner was friendly and he helped us initially pick out the colors. He told us there were roughly ten jobs ahead of us on the listing, and we were ok with that. His crew was nice and helped make the experience good overall. The only side note being that there was some confusion on fascia color which we had picked out. Even so, the issue was corrected and the painting and stain on the posts looks great.

"Beau Jardin Landscaping came to my home for the initial consultation (which was no charge), and I walked them through what I had in mind for the front yard and side of the house. They took pictures of the flower beds while they were there and within a couple of days I had an emailed estimate with computer generated pictures of their vision of what the flower bed would look like with the addition of plants and flowers- I was very impressed with this! I had originally considered just clearing and mulching the flower bed, but was able to see what the finished product would like and decided to have the entire bed redone with plants as well.  
They are very good about responding to questions and text messages and I knew when to expect them- and they worked around my difficult work schedule.
I am very pleased with their work! They have come back since the planting to check on the mulch and spray the beds for weeds. What I liked best is that they selected plants and flowers based on what they thought I would like after talking with me and seeing what I had in mind and they did a great job of this! I would definitely use this service again in the future.

"We recently contracted John DeAngelo and 225 House Painting to remodel the exterior of our home.  We needed a complete exterior paint job, repairs to the wood siding, new columns under the car port, new exterior storage room doors, and two interior ceilings painted.
John came to our house to give us a free estimate.  The next day, he sent us a very detailed contract that not only listed all the work to be done, it clearly explained his warranty and work ethics.  We spoke on the phone and through email several times to work out the details.  John always responded within half a day and was easy to talk to.
John offered help in choosing our exterior paint colors and explained the different types of paint we could use.   He repeatedly went the extra mile to take care of unexpected issues that came up.  We decided that we also wanted the concrete porch and walkways sealed.  John not only arranged this on short notice for a reasonable price, he even brought over color samples for us to look at.
His crew always arrived early and worked hard throughout the day.  They were very detail oriented and did not cut corners.  They were also very polite and helpful.
Our house literally looks 20 years newer.  The results were much better than we had expected.  We?re proud of our house and the neighbors like the new look, too.

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

Some questions you should ask before hiring a plumber or drainage installation company include:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have any customer testimonials I can read?

  • How do you handle unforeseen challenges that occur during the job?

  • Is your fee a flat rate or hourly?

  • Do you do the work, or do you have subcontractors?

  • Is everyone who does the work licensed and qualified plumbers?

  • Is cleanup included in the quote?

  • Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?

Costs range from $2,000 to $7,000, depending on system type and excavation requirements.
