In addition to immediately providing the load calculation Jeff also was able to provide quotes on the spot. Quote was originally provided on a Friday, I had additional questions for Jeff that night so I texted him figuring he would probably respond next business day. He responded immediately and we were able to setup an appointment for the next day to schedule installation. He had two openings for installation which was Monday or Friday. I chose Monday since my current furnace was dying and it closed a gap in their installation schedule. Only 4 days between quote and installation! On Monday installers arrived on time and completed the work in roughly 7 hours. In addition to installing all the HVAC equipment they performed repairs to my existing duct work in other areas of the house. They patched multiple areas of duct work that were damaged and leaking into the basement. In the attic I had also discovered the previous owner had stepped on one of the ducts that runs above the joists and completely disconnected it from the register in addition to denting it. They were able to reinforce the duct and reconnect it. I also wanted the thermostat moved into a more central location which was done with out issue. Fixes for the duct work was performed with no additional cost. The installers left the furnace with temporary wiring until the electrician they sub contract could come out and install permanent wiring for the furnace and A/C. The electrician they provided was able to get everything wired up promptly and provided excellent service. After this Jeff came back out to tweak the dampers in the duct work to get them balanced. The upstairs and one of the bedrooms on the lower level were under powered while some of the registers closer the the furnace were over powered. He also patched a small hole in a duct I had forgot to mention during the installation. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely hire them for any HVAC needs in the future. The 2 stage heat is great along with the Wi-Fi thermostat, I can view a graph of what equipment was turned on and at what time. Temperatures have been a bit warmer recently and the furnace has been running primarily in stage 1 mode, should be easy on the gas bill. Since it is not warm enough out for A/C I have yet to see the A/C unit in action. They will be back out to start up the A/C for the first time when the weather gets warmer, I will try to remember to update this review when that occurs.

Of course the pipes blew out shortly after the installation of the solar heater draining our new pool in the middle of the night. When a call was made to Viscount that morning they told us that they installed the solar heater as a courtesy and that they would not stand behind the installation. What I learned after having another pool company come out and repaired the solar heater hook up, is that you "never" use electrical tape with water! Viscount used electrical tape because they used the wrong size piping. We had to purchase all new piping, connectors and adapter to properly install the solar heater.

Kevin and company were able to grind, patch cracks, stain and seal my 30 year old, 1350 sqft concrete basement floor in less than two days. The result is beautiful! I also had Kevin epoxy my 30 year old, 2-car garage concrete floor with amazing results that all visitors have complemented...

I called him Sunday night, he came on Monday evening, got right to work...installed it all...and fixed a small leak in the garbage disposal while he was here. He was very personable. This is the 3rd time we have used him. We highly recommend him.

"TimberRidge Pro did a fine job on our master bath renovation . AJ was great at offering ideas and suggestions for products to use. He actually met us at Home Depot to help us make choices! That was VERY impressive! He began our job 2 weeks early (what contractor does that?) and had all of our products ready to go. He covered all of the areas leading to the bathroom and kept the job site neat and clean. That is also a biggie, because many contractors and their helpers leave messes! Not TimberRidge Pro! They clean up their worksites as if they were their own homes. After 6 days, we had a new entire shower, vanity with lighted mirror, sink and quartz sinktop, new luxury vinyl flooring, all new lighting, a plumbing problem from the old shower resolved, a new access panel to the shower installed, and the bathroom painted nicely. We had an issue with the glass shower door. It came in defective from the supplier. AJ obtained a new shower door that was much sturdier, tore out the bad one and replaced it with a much better door. (We split the cost of the upgraded glass door). AJ honored all of the line items in our contract and totally took care of some minor things on our punch list with ease. His price was reasonable and our new master bath looks amazing! We would highly recommend TimberRidge Pro for your next bathroom project and we would certainly use this contractor again!"

"Worst workmanship I’ve ever seen. Basement still leaks, the system they installed does not drain water into the sump crock looks like water is now being diverted under the floor. Owner never came out to look at what his employees call a finished job. I was quoted by Dennis $56 a foot in the basement and when I got upstairs it was actually $59, red flag. I was quoted and designed a system and they installed another. Look at pics and you decide if you want to hire these hacks and liars. One other thing the workers mixed the Qiukrete next to my furnace that was running and the whole house was filled with concrete dust."

Waterproofing paint

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement.
Some of the most common cost factors include:
Location

Engineering reports, if needed
Structural and other repairs
Permits
To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding.
Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.
Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.
