Examples of his attention to detail: copper caps over the front windows, the custom molding fabrication for the arched window - a perfect match, the fact that he identified the source of the leak from the basement and made sure that the door was set in to eliminate the leak with a new copper pan, flashing and stone sill and lastly crafting azek in the alcove to match the character of the house.

Jayme provided us with a new water heater when we were desperate and our water heater was leaking all over the basement. He has an office manager, Travis, who answered the phone and they had a water heater in stock to replace ours when we needed it. I would definitely use them for my future...

"We recently had an “old school” original 1970’s Cape Cod kitchen fully remodeled including adding a slider. Richard did a great job from planning and design (shout out to Hanna on this), to demo, to install, to finish work. Richard was on time, reliable, and not your typical Cape contractor. Super clean at all times and was able to work with us on various hiccups/unexpected stuff along the way. He explained options and the pros and cons of each possible choice. He never upcharged us (unless we asked for something) and was exactly on budget. Very happy with his work and would definitely recommend. We will likely call on him again for our next project."

"I contracted Black Stallion Enterprises LLC to replace the roofs on two of my houses. The entire process from the initial estimate to completion was fair, easy, transparent, and professional. They arrived promptly, completed the job on time and within budget. The workers were clean and worked full days with minimal disturbances to our everyday activities. Joe oversaw the job and provided step-by-step updates, explaining what was being done and the reasoning behind it. Additionally, where things were not done properly by the original builder, BSE added the necessary products and fixed it, all within the original price estimate. The roofs look beautiful, and we are already seeing efficiency as a result of the replacement. The BSE team followed up after completion to ensure we were happy. They definitely stand behind their work and materials. I highly recommend BSE for all construction projects and will hire them again."

"We had this company build a new master-suite in our home. That included floor plan changes, tiling the bath, installing a new shower, a jetted tub and a new toilet. Only 3 months after many things fall apart. A glass shelf almost fell in the tub when my wife was in it. It almost injured her. Towel racks came of the walls leaving giant holes behind. The brand new tub stoped draining. I brought in a licensed plumber to fix that and he told me he never saw "such a sh*tshow". And conveniently Mike told me in the middle of he project that his company declared bankruptcy, so no point suing him."

"My family and I hired Jeff as our General Contractor to oversee the construction of our 1500 sq. ft. summer home. It was the best decision we made regarding this project. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was attentive to our design requests and of our vision for this home, while providing his expertise in all phases of construction from site work, foundation, framing, siding and roofing, stairs, and all interior finished work – including installing wood molding trim, doors, closets shelves, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, all of which he does himself. Jeff hired and coordinated reputable subcontractors required to complete the project on schedule, and met all of his commitments regarding price, quality of materials, and high standard of professionalism and quality construction. Jeff was responsive over the 6-month schedule, keeping us informed of the overall progress, including subcontractor and weather delays, local permitting challenges, and coordination of several building inspections – all of which passed the first time attesting to the quality of Jeff’s work. Overall, whether it is a large or a small project, we wholeheartedly recommend Jeff for your construction project."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts
French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe.
Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.
While both a channel drain and a French drain serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground—hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.
Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.
The four most common types of stormwater drainage systems are ditches, catch basins, french drains, and slot drains. Ditches are open trenches designed to reroute stormwater off your property. Catch basins are connected to your local sewage system. French drains are great for keeping water out of your foundation, and slot drains are low-capacity drain systems that work best with light storms.
The frequency with which a French drain clogs depends on various factors, such as the amount of debris that enters the pipe, the quality of the French drain installation, the type of grate and filter used, and how often it is maintained. That’s why it’s recommended to clean your French drain at least once a year, whether it is clogged or not. This can prevent clogs and increase the lifespan of your drain.
