"The owner was very comfortable to talk to about the water leaking problem in the basement. He did a great job explaining how the job to prevent future leaks would be completed. His brother managed the crew when the job started. It went very smoothly. The team had 4 men and finished the job in only 2 days. The system has kept my basement dry through summer down pours and the most recent snow melt. No water leaks. Everyone was very courteous and efficient. I am very happy with the service.

Definitely consider A&E for any grading, filling or excavating work you have."

"Given that this company has an A rating, I was appalled to discover that John was not upfront about his subcontracting and permitting practices.  We questioned a very large line item on the contract for "permits" and were told that in addition to the actual county fees, they needed to cover other "expenses" associated with the permits.  Huh?  In response we were told we could pull permits "in our name" and would not be responsible for Suncrest's fee.   We agreed, though now I know I wasn't exactly clear what he meant by "in our name".  When I first applied for the permits using Suncrest as the contractor, I was told by the county they are not licensed to do plumbing or electrical work.  I thought that was strange since my husband and I both remember John saying they do not use subcontractors.  John got very nervous and defensive when I asked him about this.  He told me they do contract out this type of work, though interestingly he could not initially remember the names of his subcontractors and was adamant that he did not want me to use their names on the permit.  In the interest of keeping things going, I ultimately got the permits online using my name as general contractor for a fraction of the cost Suncrest quoted and it took all of 30 minutes.   The down side is that I gave up any protection against shoddy work by doing this.  
I was home for a good part of the time the work was being done on our bathroom.  I know for a fact that there was never a licensed plumber or electrician in my home.  The guy doing the demo, tile and everything else did all the wiring and plumbing and there was never any discussion about it.  These were not overly complicated tasks in our case, but licenses are required for this work for a reason!    I suspect even if I did pay the fee for Suncrest to pull the permits, all of the work still would have been done by Suncrest's employee, with the extra fee going towards a kickback to the plumber and electrician who allow Suncrest to pull permits in their names.
Overall we were satisfied with the work they did.  Responsiveness to the initial contacts was very slow.  Work was started 2 months after we were told they would be available.
We had talked with a few other companies before Suncrest, but we were not comfortable with the rigidity of the offers and limited materials choices.  Suncrest's initial quote was very basic (and missing some key upgrades I thought I had mentioned).  However, John was willing to revise and add things until we were comfortable with the plan.  We chose all our own materials, which was good in our case, but also a lot of work.  I did not get nearly enough guidance from the contractor as to the amount of tile to order.  As a result, my tile order was significantly low, and by the time the work started 2-3 months after the tile was delivered, I had a very hard time getting enough matching tile to complete the job and was forced to use some unattractive pieces of tile I would have rather returned.  As I was buying the tile directly, this was left entirely to me to figure out.  It seems like at least at the start of the job (if not much earlier), someone from Suncrest could have looked things over to make sure the materials were adequate.
