"Great.! DB’s Plumbing sent Trevor out to fix the problem and he was great. The price was right and he got the drain going fast. He was knowledgeable offered solutions to my other plumbing issues I have at the house. He also gave me a quote for another job I needed done, so I will use them again that’s for sure."
"My experience with this company was great. I was able to tell them my issues and they gave me several options. Ultimately we went for the full French Drain system. Everything was done on time and the estimates were very fair. Warranty on the work is great. I would call them again if needed."
"We received quotes from four companies - Drainage & Erosion Solutions' pricing was fair and the quality of their work & our experience with them seemed too good to be true. So much so that I've waited for nine months to post a review to be sure the drains they installed addressed the flooding issue. The project included installing five catch basin drains, over 70 feet of 4 inch drain pipe and another 70 feet of six inch drain pipes as well as replanting flower beds, regarding several areas, and installing river rock in two of the drainage beds. The drains have performed exceptionally well. What used to be a river forming on one side of our house, now quickly drains into five catch basin drains they installed. In addition, they were very concerned with aesthetics and made the drain areas look wonderful. They were prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them. Also, and perhaps most importantly, their recommended solution addressed the root cause of our flooding issues. Two of the other companies we received quotes from accepted that water would get into our crawlspace as a premise. Drainage and Erosion Solutions actually made sure that wouldn't happen in the future."
"Excellent job all around. The work was done in late March, 2019, but I waited to post this review until after a heavy rainstorm. The storm of July 8, 2019 (>4"/hr) would normally have caused water to seep up through the concrete floor. After the storm, there was not even a drop. The sump was dry. The job was messy: jackhammers and lots of dust. They left it clean. One cannot even see where they cut the lawn to get the pipe to the curb. My only critique is that the new concrete poured to replace the broken floor should have been completely leveled. From initial estimate to installation, excellent work."
"Appleton Campbell just did a complicated 2-day gas furnace/AC unit installation attached our home. It was, probably, the most professional and well-handled vendor experience I have ever had, particularly with some complications that occurred due to things found after the old system was removed. From the sales process to the pre-project staff to the office staff who alerted me each time the crew was heading to my home, to the on-site crew of Mike W., Danny R. and Jake A., the experience was A+. Even when the one issue was presented, they came up with a solution and I remained confident they would. They were extremely clean and neat, during and after they were done. I did getting three bids for this and they were slightly higher than the others, but I felt more comfortable and frankly, I believe I got my moneys worth as they also had to fabricate and redo a complicated return and vent line, and they also moved the gas line, refrigerant line and other conduits/poles/switches to a more convenient area than with my prior (similar but older) system. In short, I felt like the value was there. They also included a Home Savings Agreement for one year and left me with a consolidated notebook of all relevant documents. Cheapest is not always better, and with all they did, the pricing was very, very close. I've known AC for years in the community, but only used them on a couple of occasions. I've become a huge fan and will use them again (I have other systems!)."
"very professional install. helped rework legacy issues with HVaC system- wasn’t just “swap box out”. also 10 year parts and labor means they have vested interest in doing it right. i would recommend and would use again."
"Some context for the work... Our house was a "flip" that was completed in June 2013 and we purchased in July 2013. That winter we had water in the basement from the foundation walls leaking and the sump pump catch areas not covering the entire perimeter of the basement. The company who flipped the house extended the sump pump area and split the cost with us, despite the 1-year warranty in DC which states they should have covered it all. 6 months later, still within the 1 year warranty time frame, the water was coming in through a different area that they did not cover. This time, the company had a drainage company do an assessment and, again, split the cost of the repairs. Here we are a year later and again water came in the basement after it rained for a week. I had the same company who came out last year come back and provide another estimate...$17,000, $12,500 of which was excavation! No, thank you! This is where MA Landscaping and Design comes in... We saw a crew completing some work down the street and got their business card to call for an evaluation and estimate. There was a minor issue that the scheduled time of the estimate where the original scheduled evaluator would not be able to make it out to our house, instead of cancelling and rescheduling, the owner, Lili, came out and did the estimate for us that day. Lili sent us the estimate for raising the patio and installing a drain underneath, putting jack stones along our driveway, putting a french drain system along the side of our house and some other minor edging and lawn maintenance. She told us that if we accepted the estimate that day she could have a crew out to the house the next day. We were satisfied with the estimate for $3,150 and immediately accepted. The crew was back the next day and had completed the majority of the digging and preparing the area for the french drain, raising the patio and adding the jack stones. The following day it rained so the crew could not complete the project, but they were at our house the following morning and finished all the work by 4 pm. When we spoke to Lili after the work was completed, she told us that there was a hole in the foundation underneath the work that the other company had previously completed that was basically feeding water to our basement. She said that the crew got some additional concrete and filled the hole and ensure there was not an opening for water to go into the basement. The crew was very thorough and completed everything exactly as stated in the estimate, plus some. The crew, mowed our lawn in both the back where the work was being completed and in the front. The patio and drainage system is done perfectly and I almost want another torrential down pour just to validate the work they did. I have a lot of confidence in MA Landscape and Design and will definitely be using them for any future landscape needs! "
"Very well. The pipe had a pinhole leak in a copper elbow joint and required cutting the pipe, in a confined space, to drain standing water. G**** Miranda did a remarkable job repairing the pipe and an adjacent supply pipe I elected to have repaired in case its joint might leak. Workmanship was exceptional, potential mess and additional Sheetrock damage was minimized, G**** Miranda worked tirelessly for 3 hours and produced a satisfactory repair."
"Specific project: remove broken disposal and replace with sink strainer at former disposal opening, and add shunt from dishwasher to main sink drain pipe. Described project on phone to get quote and a clear detailed acknowledgment of the project was reflected in that conversation. But the workman consulted with the office and got a different idea. He left the broken disposal in place, shunting the dishwasher drain around it, then upon my inspection had to correct the error. Other than this confusion, everything else went perfectly."
"Clifton Contracting does outstanding work. The drainage and water erosion solution installed by Clifton Contracting at our home gives us peace of mind, no matter how heavy the rainfall. After a neighbor on ground higher than us installed yard drains for his gutters that were directed at us, we were inundated with water every rain event. Since Clifton's drainage solution, we have no problems. Their work was efficient, professional and well worth the reasonable cost."
Storm Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
The benefits of a storm door include providing extra protection against severe weather, improving your home's insulation, and helping to keep pests out. They also add an extra layer of security to your entry door and can enhance your home's curb appeal.
Some storm doors might need two closers, depending on the weather conditions in the area. For example, if it’s particularly windy where you live, installing two storm door closers (instead of one) can prevent your door from slamming shut when it’s propped open. You can place one at the top of your door and another at the bottom.
The extra insulation helps reduce energy costs by minimizing drafts and temperature exchange between indoors and outdoors.
Like many common door problems, warping can be caused by improper installation. When a door isn't installed correctly, there's a good chance that the poor seal is allowing moisture and drafts to seep through. When this happens, humidity will build up in the wood until it swells and warps.
Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.
