The workers who came out to repair the area that was leaking admitted that faulty workmanship in August 2009 was the cause of the May 2011 leak. I was told they would repair the damage the leak had caused to the second floor ceiling. I followed up in July 2011 asking Brett if they could also come out and do an annual roof inspection, and never heard back. They never came back to repair the ceiling. In the spring of 2015, the mortar that they used to repoint the main chimney crumbled and fell out of the cracks between the bricks. Although the roof that they did August 2009 looks very nice, in view of the lack of responsiveness or follow through on their promises, I decided not to try to contact them further and hired another company to repoint the mortar. In July 2015, 2 complete sections of the architectural shingles that were installed 6 years ago simply fell off the roof onto the sidewalk. The roofing company I hired to repair this problem told me that these shingles had been improperly nailed onto the decking. A wait-and-see game to find out what will be happening next. I did not submit a report to Angieslist earlier, but in view of this latest (July 2015) problem, felt that I should submit one now to warn others. In doing this, I found that there are no other reports on this company, perhaps they are no longer in business?

While the new roof was being added, water damage had occurred over the master bedroom. When called they came out and covered that particular section of the roof with a tarp. Upon return to finish work, foreman's response to water damage was that the house was old and that a ceiling repair would have to be done regardless of the origin of the damage. Moving forward, some damage was done to the dormer and their repairs were makeshift at best. A second contractor came on site to fix these damages at an additional cost to us. In addition, there are some sections of roof that are still exposed which allow for snow, rain, etc. to leak into the attic. Also, roofing nails were exposed and visible from ground surface along the trim of the roof which was aesthetically unpleasing. Several calls were made to address these issues and, to current date, nothing has been done. What should have been a simple roof repair has become an unsettling situation, especially given the financial investment made on our part.

"I hired Highlander to install a channel drain in front of garage to keep it from getting water in it. The guy showed up with his 16 year old son and dug the trench and laid the pipe very shallowly and left a large open hole in front of my driveway, that was one issue. The second issue was there was no slope to to the pipe. It is straight so the water is not actually draining. The third issue was they cemented the grates onto the the channel drain when they are supposed to be removable so you can clean it. They did correct that and the hole near the driveway they patched with stone, but it is still not pitched properly and the concrete was cracking almost immediately after drying, I asked for the salesman to come back and look at it and asked him if it looked professional, because it didn?t to me or my stepfather who does concrete for a living, and his response was that it did. Well, less than an a year and grates are popping up because the concrete is completely cracked."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Syracuse, NY
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
