Get matched with top drain pipe installers in Berlin, NH

"I strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this company. I gave them a deposit of $4,428.65, and when I canceled a week later they kept almost $900 of it even though my service was not for another 6 weeks. You do sign a very simple, clearly stated document that says, “Should you cancel beyond three business days, you understand your deposit is non-refundable. Northern Basements may choose to refund depending on cancellation circumstances.” I fully acknowledge that I canceled a few days outside that window, but I hoped an honest company that cares about customers and referrals would choose to provide a full refund. I am a sucker for hoping that. They chose to risk my impression, referral and review for $885.53. If nothing else comes out of this, I hope everyone reading at least goes in knowing that this statement on their contract is a real threat and your deposit is hostage. Even Airbnb’s offer full refunds on deposits within just a few days of people’s arrival date. 3 days to cancel with service not scheduled for 6 weeks out, “C’mon man.” No materials were used. No service workers’ time was taken. The manager justified the 20% withholding as credit card fees, restocking fees, time and resources for the estimate, and administrative fees. I wholly accepted responsibility for the credit card fees and time of Paul, the gentleman who performed the assessment, and I offered to settle at 10%. I still believe any reputable company would have provided a full refund at this point in a project, or at most deduct the credit card fees, because nothing more went into this beyond what would have normally been a free estimate. The further arguments the manager made for the additional fees were the scheduling of their team and allocation of materials for my project. Complete nonsense, especially when the project was not set for 6 weeks away. Because they had my deposit hostage, they had control of how much they decided they wanted to keep, it was completely arbitrary, and they kept almost $900 of my money without providing anything. If they wanted to cover their credit card transaction fees, fine, at most 6%, but the rest is absolute robbery. The only solace I can find in this loss of almost $900 now is that I didn’t spend another $13,000 with them. I tried to call Paul after speaking with the manager to ask if he could do me a favor and try to reason with the manager on my behalf because he seemed like a nice enough guy. No answer. No call back. I will never seek out this company’s services again and I will actively discourage others from doing so but, based on my experience, I expect they really don’t care."

"He did a great job painting the interior of our house. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He worked fast even during these last snow storms."

"I requested a quote by email, clearly specifying it was for 2 cracks and sending 4 pictures (2 from the inside, 2 outside) as requested. One crack was twice as long as the other one, very different and salt leftover from water infiltration. I received a quote for $500 which detailed the total cost, without any mention of additional costs. After the technician performed the work in less than 30 minutes, trouble started: he told me he was directed to work on just one, not two foundation cracks. I received a call from the same woman that set everything and she first stated I only request a quote for a crack: I went back to the email and it clearly stated "quote for 2 cracks", she claimed she got confused by the pictures and thought I sent the same crack from different angles. Honestly, they are in the crack business, I don't know how one could get confused by this. She insisted that, despite her making a mistake, I'd need to pay more. I got a call from the owner which argued with me about paying $350 more, that the quotes I got from other companies were also about a single crack, that their quote has different pricing per crack (I verified, it did not, there was just a single price). After I mentioned this seemed to me a bait and switch technique, he argued some more but in the end agreed to accept the quoted price."

"Great. They provided some great design ideas on how to handle the area around the mailbox and the results were great. I would hire them again anytime."

"They took our money during hurricane Ian. Didn’t finish the work. We are out $13,000. He has since opened under 2 more different names. True Florida construction and Casella construction. Beware!"

"We had Worth[less] install snow guards on our standing seam roof in Dec. of 2018 (13 months/1 season ago). A large section has just fallen off and appears to be pulling off other sections while also causing damage to our expensive standing seam roof and seamless gutters, both of which are new within the last 2 years. I assumed they would be very responsive and quick to remedy the problem but at first they said, "we can get someone there in the spring" followed by, "we don't really have anyone working right now" then, "there is snow and rain in the forecast, so maybe next week but probably later" and finally, "that shouldn't happen and never does, can you send some pictures and we can get back to you tomorrow?". Apart from our own safety concerns, our tenants, guests, mailmen/women, and pets would come into harm's way for a few more months if left to Worth[less]. For those considering Worth[less] for any work because the price seems appealing just remember this: good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good! Find someone who stands by their work or, at the very least, fixes things when they fail."
