"On this job we used the materials that the customer selected which were round fieldstone. We picked up where some one else left off why the job was left unfinished to start with is a mystery. The customer disliked one of our employees and asked me if I would lay him off. I told him no we then completed the job he said he was happy paid me and we left. Everything looked fine when we left I am sorry he was disappointed but this is the first I have heard of it. Dave Foote"
This is what he fid

He called me and asked if I wanted to have the work done on the Saturday and I agreed. They showed up on time, were well prepared and started asap. They worked with great attention to detail and were very thorough. They also suggested to have the dryer vent cleaned of lint and said they would do it if they had time. That was not part of the basement wall job but still they offered to help me.
I couldn't believe how hard they worked ! They started around 8:00 A.M. and continued working till 1:00 A.M. or so on a Saturday night !
Dave had to come back to my house on Monday to pick up some of his stuff. I showed him two areas at the bottom of the walls where it meets the floor. The coating appeared to be a bit rough but I told him that I didn't care about the looks, my question was just about the strength of the coating. He immediately picked up a brick and smoothened the areas to make it look nice even though I didn't even ask him to do it. Then he went ahead and applied caulking to several areas around my basement door even though that was not even part of the job ! He is just very customer friendly, hard working and honest person, and his associate Dave is the same.
I rate Dave and his company very high and would contact them again if I need to get some work done.
Dave was booked up but luckily I had a question for him on my job and found he had a cancelation.the next day Dave and two arrived right on time went right to work and did not stop till done.great job ! they were quiet 'friendly and cleaned up after finishing better than anyone I have ever used.Dave did exactly what I asked at a great price.
After receiving the written quote, which came in just a day or so, we called to make the appointment. We decided to get everything done and be done with it. We went with brick risers and granite steps. David did not set up a time with me, but called a few weeks later. (Just around the time that I thought for sure he was not going to be able to fit us in!) He showed up around 7AM with another crew member. The two of them worked like crazy to tear out the old steps. They did not quit until dark. The next day they were back at it at 7AM again, but this time with the brick, mortar and stone to build the steps. They finished by mid-afternoon. They had to use some asphalt to marry the granite step near the road to the sidewalk.
I came out as they were finishing up and David was showing me the asphalt and how they smoothed it so the cut edge of the granite would not cause anyone to trip. I made a comment about how the sidewalk on my small cul de sac had some big cracks and that a neighbor had complained to the town about them. The town came and fixed only the cracks on his side of the circle. After David and his helper left I came out to look at my new beautiful steps and I noticed they had filled the cracks in the sidewalk in front of my house with the extra asphalt.
I LOVE my front steps! What a great experience with David and I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone who needed this type of work done.
