"We contacted Matt to demolish a very old deck and build a new Trex composite deck, stairs and railing. The entire base support structure of the old deck needed to be replaced, including attachment points to the home that were rotted due to poor design and flashing of the prior deck. When looking for a contractor we researched many options. We eliminated contractors who seemed to only occasionally build a deck, those who had a different primary focus area, and those who did not often do composite decking. Initially, we found Matt's business listed on the Trex website as a certified TrexPro Gold installer. After then reading his positive reviews across AngliesList, Facebook, & Google, and seeing photos of many projects that appeared to be the type of work we were looking for, we reached out. Communication was excellent from the initial quote through completion of the project. The quality of the work and attention to detail was excellent. The project was a notable investment in our home, but we are very pleased with the results would highly recommend Matt to others."

"We needed water , damaged drywall , removed and replaced from a ceiling in our family room. Justin not only removed and replaced it , he painted it and did a perfect job that looks wonderful. In addition to him doing the job efficiently, He treated our house as if it was his own house taking all precautions not to have drywalled dust throughout the whole house. He was very particular in keeping the whole work area clean. In conversation, Justin had mentioned to us that he also does remodels of bathrooms kitchens, etc. Hopefully we don't need him back for water damage, however, for any drywall work or any type of remodeling or interior work in our house Justin from JB.Contracting would be our guy to call. This review doesn't give us the option of the work he did, it only lists basement and bathroom remodel. The work he completed was in the family room in the middle of our house"

"He was very personable. He was on time and came when he said he would. We didn?t feel he paid close attention to detail. He had to come back numerous times for the drywall. We finally just finished it ourselves. He did a great job on the wood floor. Missed finishing nail holes and didn?t feather the wall paste well. He had to keep asking him to come back and fix it. Which he did and was very polite, but it wasn?t a cheap job and was expecting more."

"We hired Mike in 2020 right before our daughter was born. We needed and wanted a special addition in our bedroom, My wife and I dreamed of a big shower and a special place to wine down after our 12 hour days (both in the medical field). We saw mikes ad somewhere online and decided to call him, when we told him our idea he was very optimistic and was sure he can work something out for us ( he's a jack of all trades). Everything started out smooth we immediately wrote him a check for the deposit to start working Mike showed up first week. slowly started coming less, once twice three times a week. He expressed to us that he Doesn't work Fridays. We specifically expressed wanting a big 5x5 shower that we dreamed of always wanted, drew us up a plan for a smaller one. We wanted to pick out a nice vanity, Mike had other plans in mind. Wanted a pocket door, Mike tells us we cant it wont work, his partner disagrees and explains to him how it will work. At this point My wife and I can tell Mikes not a fan us lol , but honestly we don't really care since we're the customer and we've paid him, this is the line of work he chooses, we pay his bills, not the other way around. Instead of trenching the floor he decides to put in a "Sani flow" which he is adamant that he has installed plenty of times and feels confident with this being the best option. Mike does not install the Sani flow correctly, as the discharge pipe was not secured properly resulting in a major mess . the out come? Raw sewage and water spraying all out from behind our toilet , we lucky heard a noise and decided to call a plumber, when he opened up the crawl space Michael installed ( which we had to make bigger because it was to small to even reach your arm into the access the Sani flow" we see the worst outcome, water, sewage. The plumber we hired was adamant that whoever installed this Sani flow did not secure the clamp to the discharge pipe correctly and also cut it too short , resulting in water and pressure and raw sewage to spray out slowly over time ( because of the build up inside of the Sani flow). The macerater was clean, no obstruction. the Sani flow was working properly, it was the installation. When we texted Mike about this, he responded with short careless responses to my wife, of course he wouldn't come check it out, its a Saturday night he cant be bothered. Just sit and imagine this for a second, all this is happening in your bathroom, now your shower your sink and toilet are out of service and you text the guy who you had install it and he doesn't text back and when he does its short and with no care of the situation? He did say he would sell us a new Sani flow for $500. Hire yourself someone that will stand by their work, and if there is an issue, be a man and show up and correct his errors. Not some young guy driving a 60 thousand dollar work truck that works three days a week, and does not want to do what the customer wants, but what's gonna make him the most money by doing the least work and not only that but the job and work is done incorrectly."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

The best way to fix dampness in walls is to find the root cause and fix the underlying issue. After that, you’ll need to dry the wall with a heavy-duty fan and potentially a dehumidifier. If the wall has water damage, you can remove the damaged drywall, patch it with a new piece, and then paint it to match the rest of the wall. 

Waterproofing or encapsulating protects against moisture, preventing mold growth and structural damage. These services also enhance energy efficiency and improve air quality by keeping humidity levels in check.

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage.
