We understand your frustrations. We aim to create the best possible customer experiences, which is why we communicate in the contract and throughout the entire process that our PolyLevel slab solution will fill in voids, stabilize soils, but, unfortunately, 10% of the time we cannot guarantee that the slab will lift. We could not level your garage floor because the concrete was binding in the corners, creating too much pressure. However, we reimbursed you with a portion of the cost because we always aim to best serve our customers. We wish you all the best in the future.

Description of Work: Job started late January, 2014. I was not informed or made aware of how much dust to expect (knew it would be, but not to the extent it was). Took 1 week to work and left. Muddy hand prints on walls and outside on siding, hole in carpeting in middle of room, job not complete. They were to move water heater to install WaterGuard behind water heater. They did not remove water heater, hacked the carpeting around water heater, and left gaping hole behind water heater. Started calling to find out when going to complete, and fix carpeting. Told service manager problems, he denied work behind water heater wasn't complete, and finally told me harshly that they were not going to do anything about the carpeting. Tried for the next 2 months to get this resolved. Last heard from them was going to check schedule to fix behind water heater and would call. They never called. On July 10, 2015 the basement flooded from the hole behind the water heater. Called them re their warranty. They were too busy to come and look at it till 7/28/2015. Basement flooded 2 more times during that time. Called to explain needed them now. They couldn't do it. Carpeting ruined. They came on 7/28/2015 and said they were unprepared to fix hole, needed someone else to fix. They came back 8/5/2015. Their employee couldn't believe that it was in the condition it was. He said that the service manager had noted in their records that the hole behind the water heater had been fixed. He moved the water heater, completed the WaterGuard, and apologized for the carpeting being ripped to pieces. This was a terrible experience to go through to get my basement waterproofed. The system is doing the job now, but dealing with their service manager was exhausting and fruitless to say the least. They obviously don't want to take responsibility for their mistakes and/or make restitution for damages. Hindsight made me check with the BBB, and found their reputation was anything but stellar. I've learned my lesson.

This was a very difficult and messy excavation job. I feel we must have set unrealistic expectations for this homeowner. I will speak with the Field Representative that reviewed the job with you. I feel the horrible grades are not fair since we always came back to address the homeowners concerns. I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations. We will work on better explaining the challanges associated with excavation work.

Description of Work: They did a basement waterproofing project including waterproofing a crawl space and placing sump pumps in the crawl space and the basement. They also completed a French drain. My husband and I were satisfied with the work. However, we had had the work scheduled for June, and realized that we needed more extensive repairs. We could not get a return phone call from a Salesperson for over a week and ended up having to cancel our original appointment and delaying the job for over a month! Frustrating!!

Thank you for the A grade for the quality of the work. I will relay that information to the installation crew. I will talk to the Sale Representative about the importance of getting back to folks more quickly. I am sure he was busy, but we should always find the time to contact customers who need some help. Thank you for choosing our company to work on your home.

The representative arrived in September for an estimate and was excellent. He looked at our walls, took some pictures, and evaluated the layout and structure of the house to see what would have to be done. He explained all of the options well, from the cheapest to the most expensive and even recommended the cheapest options for us since he didn't really think the more expensive options would be necessary for our situation. The work was scheduled for October since we had a finished basement and part of it would have to be "unfinished" for the work to be completed. The work took 2 days to complete. Two workers arrived for the job and were a little late both days. They listened to my concerns (mainly to watch a sewer line that ran right in the path of the trench they had to dig for the indoor French Drain). Throughout the job, they were careful to avoid damage to this line. The work requires jackhammering and is very dusty by nature. Fair warning was given for this with the estimate. Overall, the workers did the job as proposed and it was satisfactory. The main issue we had was with the BrightWall installation, which was a little sloppy, particularly the caulking along the WaterGuard. This was one of the last things they did and it was late in the day, so it seemed like they just wanted to hurry up and get done. I was a little disappointed that there was never any type of follow-up phone call or mailing to see if we were satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: Baker's installed WaterGuard (indoor French Drain) in basement and garage and installed BrightWall Vapor Barrier on the walls of the basement for a semi-finished look. They also installed a Sump Pump in the floor of the garage to pump out any incoming water.

The customer never contacted us about any dissatisfaction with the work. Normally our office staff does a follow up call after completion but unfortunately the call was never placed to this customer. We will be contacting the customer to see if there is anything we can do to resolve his issue.

They could have done a better job. They didn't do anything detailed oriented and they were not very clean. It was the typical Friday rush job. It didn't meet my expectations. -Updated: 11/02/09: They did the minimum amount of work. They used cheap supplies and I feel like I wasted my money.
Description of Work: I had a downspout problem and they came in to work on it. -Update 11/02/09: They put in a window well in for us as well.

The postings dated Nov. 2, 2009 and Sept. 14, 2006 both concern an installation completed in August 2006. We show no record the customer ever contacted us expressing dissatisfaction with the work we did for him. Installing a SunHouse windowell requires removing an old windowell and installing the new SunHouse unit. I'm not sure what he refers to when he says "they did the minimum amount of work". The site conditions determine the degree of difficulty and the amount of labor required to install. The customer was given a full color brochure describing and showing the SunHouse. A SunHouse unit is not a "cheap" product, in fact it is probably the most expensive windowell made but it offers features not available from other similar products. The posting dated Sept. 14, 2006 concerns rerouting a problem downspout conductor line. A new piping system was installed by digging a 30 foot trench thru his yard to install new piping. Digging dirt trenches is not "clean" work. Based on the weather conditions the ground could have been mud, not just dry dirt. I'm not sure what the customer expected.

THE WORKERS WERE ON TIME. THEY CLEANED UP WELL AFTER THEMSELVES. THE WORK WAS FAIR. I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONSIDER THAT WE WOULD BE DOING A RADON SYSTEM WHEN BIDDING ON THE JOB. WHEN THE RADON PEOPLE CAME, WE WERE TOLD THE WATERPROOFING JOB WAS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE RADON SYSTEM.

We find no notations about any concern about installing a radon system after our work was completed. If a customer has concerns or has an existing radon system we accommodate that condition by installing an airtight barrier against the wall the ties into the interior drain system. The open channel behind our piping can then be sealed with caulking to satisfy the radon requirements. This customer was offered this barrier but decided not to include it with the work. Based on the inclusion of the barrier on the proposal, it is possible radon issues were discussed but the customer made the decision to not include the barrier with the drain system
