Best foundation drain installation pros near Menands, NY

"What a great team I had. First Jim on electrical was terrific two new outlets each on their own circuit installed, very neat and professionally done. Next came the installation crew of Tim and Dan, these two are machines. They got right to work trenching the perimeter and then installing the drainage channel. Start to finish job completed in roughly six hours. Job site was left cleaner than I expected when dealing with concrete dust. Won’t know how it all works until water table rises but very impressed with the quality of the work and the people doing it. Thanks to all of you again."

"It’s been 5 months since Todd and his crew encapsulated my crawl space but I wanted to wait to give a comprehensive review of their services and the outcome of their work. The short answer is: I’m thrilled! Here’s the story: Last summer I bought a small home which has a crawlspace. As soon as the weather turned humid I noticed a distinctly musty/earthy odor. When I had central air installed, all it did was exacerbate the situation by blowing the air from the crawlspace all over the house. To say I was distressed is an understatement. I wasn’t sure encapsulation was the answer but after calling around and doing some online research there didn’t seem to be any other obvious solutions. While I had built one new house (full basement) and gut renovated another (slab foundation) I found myself in new territory with an older home (60s) and a crawlspace. Doug came in and did a consultation. I had a lot of questions and deep dove the technical details. I’m sure it was trying for both Doug and Todd, but every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly (something other companies failed to do). I decided to go for a full encapsulation solution with a commercial humidifier, drain, and some underlayment in particularly rough areas. Todd (and his assistant Kyle) did outstanding work and every unexpected issue they encountered was handled quickly and professionally. When they found rotting wood forms that were left from when the concrete supports were poured, they pulled them out. When they found some rough areas of construction debris around the perimeter, they cleaned that out. And when Todd found some minor seepage in the corner of the crawlspace that he traced it to the outside where a downpipe was punctured and draining too close to the house, he went and bought some new downpipe and repaired it--charging me just for the materials. To say that these guys went above and beyond is an understatement. Any homeowner knows that feeling of having made a horrible mistake and I wasn’t sure the crawlspace issue could be fixed. Not only did Todd and his crew do an amazing job but they put me at ease throughout the process. They were punctual, tidy, thorough and just generally great to work with. I couldn’t recommend them more highly! (Now if only I could find other contractors who are just as good…) P.S. The other reason I waited so long to write a review is that in my particular situation, there is little separation between the air of the crawl space and the rest of my small house. So after it was first encapsulated, there was a strong smell of… well kind of a mix between plastic and dryer sheets. It was not terribly unpleasant but distinct and noticeable (and I’m very sensitive to smells). If anyone else experiences this, I recommend buying a large fan for the crawlspace and using it periodically to move the air from the crawlspace out of the house and move fresh air in. (I bought a cheap contractor fan that pivots upwards and put it on a smart home remote). Over the course of a few months it dissipated and I’m thrilled to report that I don’t notice it at all now."

"I am very happy with landscape work I had recently had done by G & G Landscaping. I had large evergreen bushes and a tree removed from along the front of house. They replanted the area with some smaller plants and added fresh dirt t to the area. I also had them lay some rocks out along the foundation of the back of my home and in front by the electrical boxes, with some additional plants there as well. I was happy to have this project done and they were able to complete it all in one day."

"Brandon came out this morning to assess the issue. He was very polite and professional. Maximus and Jon were my installers. They were professional, polite and got the job done timely. Great guys!"

"The guys did a wonderful job installing my shower! I am definitely recommending them to friends and family who needs a shower installation done. they were very professional and they got the job done! They were also very respectful. 10/10!"

"Love HomeAdvisor! Boss Plumbing was great! Very professional but not stand-offish. They went above and beyond installing my hot water tank. The home advisor app would not let me make a payment. They drove my husband to the bank, he could only take out so much and it was my account. They drove BACK to my house to pick me up and went BACK to the bank! You do not find many people like that. Avi and Bachan are our new handymen! Ava F. Schenectady, NY"

"Great experience with this company. Randy was knowledgeable and gave us a quote in a few days. Work began within the next week, and even though it was more work than they first thought, they stayed for an extra two days and completed the work at no extra charge. My crumbling foundation was repaired and reinforced with wire mesh and the broken basement windows were replaced and look like new, I'm very happy with the work. My neighbor was so impressed that she asked me who did it, because she needs work done. One thing to keep in mind if you are having basement windows redone is to make sure you ask about the wood framing, whether it needs to be replaced, and how much that would cost. I was fortunate to be able to have the rotten wood frames removed completely and the windows installed without them, but the reframing was not included in the original quote. Randy was very easy to work with and the crew was polite, I would definitely hire them again, but I think their work will be sound and sturdy for years."

"Easy and good service I will recommend this company to anyone who is interested in getting work done."

"Mike G., W'vliet -They did a great job on my basement, outer foundation and the foundation of my garage. They also dug a drain to prevent water from getting in. They got to work and got the job done, and used whatever was needed - - steel mesh, mortar, power wash, etc.. Chad and his crew were very courteous, professional and respectful of my property and my neighbors'. Chad also said to call him if there were any issues (which I don't expect). More importantly, they ACTUALLY SHOW UP. Chad responded immediately to my request for an estimate/evaluation, and he had his crew there within 2 days of the estimate. Other companies either never showed up, never called back, etc. Chad came right over. His crew did a great job and were always courteous and helpful. I'm glad I called them - otherwise, my basement and garage would just be getting progressively worse, waiting for people who don't show up. Now, the basement's one less thing I need to worry about. Their motto is "Done right, not twice". I definitely recommend LaBello's."
