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.
When Foote was told that work had been done by another contractor he became rude and abusive on the telephone.
"UPON RECEIVING A MESSAGE AT THE OFFICE I RETURNED [removed member name] CALL AND DISCUSSED THE WORK HE NEEDED DONE. I THEN TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD GET THERE AS QUICKLY AS I COULD AND THAT I WAS VERY BUSY. A FEW DAYS LATER I WENT TO HIS HOUSE WITH A LADDER SO THAT I COULD GET TO THE PROBLEM ON HIS ROOF AND GIVE HIM A PROPER ESTIMATE. HE WAS NOT HOME AT THE TIME BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN AT THE HOUSE. I TOLD HIM WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO AND HE SAID FINE. AFTER LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS ON THE TOP OF A 12 PITCH ROOF I CLAMORED DOWN AND TOLD THE MAN AT THE HOUSE WHAT I SAW AND THAT I WOULD CALL [removed member name] WHEN I GOT BACK TO SEE HOW HE WANTED TO HANDLE IT. I SPOKE WITH [removed member name] IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AND HE STATED THAT HE HAD GIVEN THE JOB TO SOMEONE ELSE. I THEN SAID TO HIM THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO LET ME KNOW BEFORE I PUT MYSELF AT RISK ON HIS ROOF WHEN THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO GET THE JOB ANYWAY.THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO THIS INCLUDING INSURANCE LIABILITY.WORKMENS COMPENSATION AND THE LIST GOES ON.A LITTLE COMMUNICATION GOES A LONG WAY"
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.
"I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THESE PEOPLE. I ALWAYS RETURN CALLS AND NEVER IGNORE ANYONE IN NEED OF WORK DAVID FOOTE"
We would definitely recommend D L Foote and Sons to our friends and neighbors and promise to call David again for all future work!
