Get matched with top snow removal pros in Shelton, WA

"We hired C.P.C. to remove a fence, install gutter drains and a drywell, and install foundation drains and waterproof the exterior of our basement wall. These guys may be good at landscaping and fences, but I would never hire them to do drainage work again. Positives: their crews were friendly, they responded quickly when we were looking for estimates, and the gutter drains do appear to work (although they eventually won't after the "fix" they put in on the final call-back, see below). Negatives: The foundation drain doesn't seem to do anything. Our basement still floods in heavy rain, and when we go outside and look at the sump that the foundation drain empties into there's no flow to it. We really regret not asking to inspect it before they covered it, especially because they initially tried to install the foundation drain half-way down the foundation wall, instead of at the footer--which should have made us wonder what other corners they were going to cut and be a lot more skeptical. On three occasions they cut our utilities with their excavator. That's not a problem: excavators break stuff. But how they handled it was a problem. The first time, they cut our well line (power and water), applied a bogus fix that didn't work, and left for the evening without telling anyone. We were able to get them back out that night, but they didn't fix it until the next day, and we had to hire a plumber to get things going again (dirt got into our appliances from the broken line). We were without water for an evening and morning. The second time, they nicked a sewer line. I noticed the next day when I saw water under it, and had to point it out to them to get it fixed. The final time, they dug out an excavator-bucket width section of sewer line, didn't notice that they'd done so, ran the gutter drain right across where the sewer line used to go, then covered it up. After a couple weeks, our toilet stopped working. I got to spend a fun evening digging through sewage soaked soil around my sewer line and wasn't happy when I found what they'd done. They did come out and "fix" it, but there "fix" was to use two 90-degree bends to run a section of the gutter drain under the sewer line--which will act as a sediment trap and fill with pine needles and other detritus from the roof. We had them bury a 2x4 over it so we can dig it out and replace it ourselves. They also didn't appear to compact the trench they dug at all, and there's now sections around our house where the soil next to the foundation has settled, forming a nice trench for rain water to pool in (they had said that they would try and compact the trench and slope it so it drains away from the house)."

"Very quick response and turnaround time. Hired them to clear and grade about 3/4 of an acre on our property. They came to check out my land and gave me a quote next business day. Started the project the next week and finished same day. Professional and kind crew. I'd use them for future projects."

"I could not upload my pictures! However, Alex pulled most of the weeds, but left such a mess on the sidewalks! Used a pick of some sort to get some weeds and dirt left all over the sidewalks! Holes left in the garden areas, did not level off! I let them dump the weeds here! In the front we have a rock garden and rocks left all over the sidewalks! I am going to hire Lawn Whisperer to come and clean up after Alex! "

"They did a wonderful job."
