I could not have asked for better service. They did an excellent job. They arrived when promised and the crew did an outstanding job. I had power lines in the way and this was not an issue for them. As far as the cleanup they did there was no debris left behind.

"HomeSpec was spectacular. Within 24 hours of contacting HomeSpec via email, Brian Snyder inspected the problem and submitted a bid. It required minimal disruption to my home and was one-half of my expected cost. Eight days after the email, Chuck Watson and his team of four spent 11 hours installing drain tiles under one side of the basement floor, a new sump pump, a French drain and dry well. It was 28 degrees outdoors, the ground was frozen, and they ran into lots of roots. Then they cleaned up, and Chuck explained the new installations. John Lont came back after the weekend to move my basement laundry back in place and shovel dirt off the front walk. (They had tunneled under it.) He even found a washer hose that needed replacement. They were professional, kind, and treated me with respect."
