"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

Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.

The cost to install a new sump pump, including materials and professional labor, typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000. The average cost is often cited between $1,200 and $2,500. Several factors influence the final price, including the type of pump, the complexity of the drainage system, and the installation location. For instance, installing a sump pump in a basement may cost around $1,200, while a more complex installation in a crawl space can cost an average of $3,900. It is important to hire a licensed professional for the installation to ensure quality work, which can impact the pump's lifespan and warranty. Note that these costs are for a new installation; replacing an existing unit is less expensive, typically costing $308 to $748.

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.
