"Paul Swann evaluated our foundation problem and referred us to an engineer who provided a detailed repair plan. Unfortunately, the nature and scope of the proposed repair plan was outside the parameters of what Northern Basement System's themselves could provide. We appreciated their honesty and have been looking for a contractor to take on the project."

"They handled themselves in a professional manner. They explained the process of replacing the retaining wall and reinstalling the fence. They cleaned up the site and checked with us for any problems or concerns. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor."

"Love my new blue colored patio floor! Neighbors have all admired it too!"

"Lonnie and his crew were wonderful to work with and extremely helpful. I needed to get my tiny house situated and get it hooked into another septic system from the main house on the property. We also needed to get hooked into the water of the main house. He worked well with me and the septic design engineer. Most importantly he explained everything to me as I had no idea of the process we needed to follow. He was always pleasant to deal with and flexible. He had to dig up big portions of the yard to do this and he came back to spread grass seed on all the areas that were bare dirt from the project. It blended in so well that nobody can tell the yard had been so torn up two months ago! His quote was very reasonable, and he stuck to it despite having to do a few extra things that were not in the original plan. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lonnie and his workers. He has integrity, is a hard worker, and does a great job."

"Mac did an outstanding job replacing our poured concrete sidewalk. He was able to do the work quickly, on budget and the result was outstanding! Mac was great to work with...no problems communicating with him. We wanted to make sure our project was done with minimal impact to our yard and Mac did a great job in that regard. He also cleaned up after the work was done. I would recommend Sullivan Stone (Mac is the owner) without hesitation! We're planning another project for next year and I will definitely reach out to Sullivan Stone to assist us with that as well!"

"Extremely efficient, meticulous & attention to every detail. Great communication throughout the project."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"The yard team was awsome. Very professional and knowledgeable about the work.. big job and great results..my 2nd time using them.. will use again.thanks"

"I've been trying to get this job done for a while, but no one wanted to take it on. One local roofer said the job was too small and not worth the time. But he referred me to Sejay Construction. I think the price was a little high for a small job, but I was grateful to find someone to fix my roofs. The owner and crew were friendly, which I really appreciated. They finished the job quickly, cleaned up the debris, and did a nice clean job on both roofs."

"We have had an intermittant water problem in our basement primarily when it rains heavily in the Winter.
I was very happy with the quick response from Mike Sears when we initially called to ask about repairing a water leak problem in our basement.  Mike explained how his proposed solution would work to alleviate the water problem. 
Mike left us with a detailed estimate and informational materials about the proposed repair.  He also explained what wasn't included in the job such as tearing out the current sheetrock, insulation and framing from the wall.  I did  this part of the work and the reconstruction after the drain had been installed.
We spoke to Mike a few days later, agreed to the price and set a date for the repair.
On the scheduled date, two of Mikes employees arrived on time and began to prep for the repair.  They did a good job of hanging plastic sheeting around their work area so that the dirt and dust would not get into the rest of the basement.
We had discovered a crack in the basement wall which wasn't visible when the original estimate was given.  Scott Lee gave  us a written estimate to repair it with carbon-fiber cloth and sealant.  While this was an unexpected expense, there was no reason to put in a drain and leave a crack in the wall.
Taking out a basement floor with a jackhammer and installing a drain is a hard, dirty job.  Scott and his co-worker completed this job in about 6 1/2 hours including the additional work for the wall crack.
They did a good job of cleaning up the old concrete and all working materials 
Scott explained how the pump would work when the water table under the house rose.  
My only issue with quality was the uneven concrete finish work on the basement floor above the drain.  Because this was leveled by hand, there is a somewhat noticeable depression in this area of the floor.
Overall, I am happy with the work and looking forward to a dry basement when the rains come this spring.
