The \"cleaners\" claimed, \"oh, we couldn't get the dirt off the sills, or get the dirt in the slider tracks, or the dishwasher, and called it \"mold\". My daughter had to get back to work. They were there 3 hours. When I got to the house about a week later, inside the dishwasher I took a moist paper towel and wiped dirt off the inside with ease, the microwave louvers were greasy, there were crumbs in kitchen drawers, the slider tracks were coated with dirt, easily wiped off. There was dried brown liquid in one of the kitchen cabinets, circles of brown substance in cabinet above microwave, and as an added bonus, french fries in the bottom stove drawer! I made several calls to the owner who claimed in so many words that the place was a moldy, dirty mess. There was NO mold. The house was inspected before they came, and NO mold was found! The owner was argumentative, made those claims without ever having seen the place, and said to me\", Well. why didn't you do it\".

He suggested someone to take care of the water coming up into the basement and thought that might be the biggest issue. However he said that there were also significant problems around the base of the chimney (allowing the water to get into the basement) and possibly in the flue itself. He provided an estimate for the work he would do in December along with photos of the inside and outside problems. He later provided a more detail estimate and the final bill was right on the estimate. He provided clean drop cloths to avoid tracking dirt though the house and curtained off the are in the basement when doing his work in the furnace area to prevent dust from his work spreading throughout the basement. He was helpful in moving furniture as well. He did everything he said he would do and a few extras at no additional charge. Simon was careful in his assessment of the problems and carefully matched appropriate solutions for each problem. Simon is easy to talk to and provides options as well as suggestions. I would have no problem recommending him to others.

The price also seemed to be reasonable, and fair--- in line with other estimates, (though I only honestly looked at one or two others), but liked his personality, and he seemed Fair and honest. In fact, I was so pleased with the plastering job, that I hired him again to do some repair work on the exterior of the house--in the back. This involved replacing a facachia (spelling?) board because of wood rot, cleaning the gutters, and adding an additional drainage downspout. And because i was experiencing some water in the unfinished part of the basement, which appeared to be coming from, or in the general area of the bulk head, I had him take a look at the possible source of the problem. After his inspection, he determined that not only was there some hollowness in the bulk head itself, which might need to be replaced at a later date---cost was a factor for me, so I wanted to put that off....But I either needed to add a cement filling (apron) on the outside of the bulk head, Or fill the bottom (inside) base of the steps leading up to the bulk head with cement. I decided on having them put a dirt apron around the outside of the bulk head as a quick fix, And pour some cement at the base of the stairs on the inside (leading to the bulkhead) to prevent further, or excessive rain/water damage, particularly a problem at that end of the basement. After having this done, I have to say my basement, thankfully, has remained Very dry, and has been tested with heavy rainfall on a few occasions since. So, needless to say, I was Very happy with the end results, as one of the sump pumps was also giving me a problem, breaking free of the rod (?) and not pumping the water. Joe also took a quick look at that, tinkered with it a bit, put it back together by tying and clamping it a certain way, then testing it by pouring water over it---And now it is functioning as it should.

I ordered a new battery from Dell (which is the model we have) thinking the problem would be solved. Wrong. The new battery would not charge. I called Dell customer support on the issue and, after struggling with the language barrier, they ran a diagnostic and concluded that our charging circuit on the motherboard was bad. They wanted us to send the machine in so they could repair it, meaning we would be without our only computer and internet access for at least a week and a half, at a cost of over $150. I called Seth on a Saturday and made an appointment for the following week. He was very flexible on the appointment time, which was fortunate since I work part-time and attend classes in the afternoon, giving me a window of about an hour in the evenings. He agreed to allow me to come to his home (which he works out of) in the evening. His initial diagnosis was a bad AC adaptor/power cord and he wanted to order one and have it ready when I showed up. Everything went as scheduled and the new cord did indeed fix the problem at a grand total cost of about $20! Getting a new cord from Dell would have cost four times that much. He asked about what kind of virus protection we were using and when I told him it was McAfee, he offered to do a cleaning of the system using his programs. He said he would only need the computer for a day, the total cost of cleaning and cord would be $100. Since I had been planning on spending that anyway, I agreed. I was able to drop off the computer at his home/office very early in the morning before I went to work, packing it safely in a bag and leaving it in a safe place for him to pick up. He did the cleaning that day, I picked up the machine that night and he left the programs he had used to clean the computer on the hard drive! One of them was an anti-virus program he recommended which has working MUCH better then McAfee at a fraction of the subscription price. Overall, Seth was very professional and pleasant, explaining the problems and procedures in laymans terms. He was extremely flexible, which was the only way I could have gotten all of this done around my crazy schedule, AND without missing the services of our precious laptop/internet for even a day, let alone a week and a half (no thanks, Dell!). With the addition of the virus protection programs he included and the dirt cheap power cord fix, I got WAYYY more than my money's worth, and the peace of mind of knowing that if I ever have any problems in the future, I know who to call. I would highly recommend him for any issues you have with your system. Thank you for everything, Seth, keep doing what you are doing and the business will keep growing, no doubt!

Greg arrived exactly on time. He answered all my questions and I asked a lot! He was very friendly and did the work efficiently with out leaving a trace of dirt. I would not have even known he had been here except that the chimney and fireplace were clean. I recommend him highly.

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in South Portland, ME
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
