JP Stone Contractors, Inc.

....................

Outstanding. John and his foremen are total professionals. They are knowledgeable, hard working, prompt, reliable and really seem to enjoy what they do. The foreman takes personal ownership of the work, even years later. When the city of Portland recently ripped out our crosswalks and put in new handicapped ramps, they ripped up the irrigation system on our sidewalk strip. They did not mark the tubes properly and had no idea how to fix it. I called Mr. Stone and he was there within 30 minutes--and he met with the city crew, figured out how to salvage things and gave them his number in case there were problems. JP Stone provides the best customer service of any contractor I have every used, bar none. I highly recommend this company.

One of the things that struck me most about the experience of working with John Stone was how frank he was about the uncertainty inherent in attempting to deal with yard/basement drainage issues. He spent a lot of time trying to help us understand what he believed was the problem, and why his (less expensive) option would probably be enough to address it. He was also very emphatic about the need to get multiple opinions on the work - he was NOT someone who did a hard-sell.
His work to improve the landscaping, improve the drainage, and limit/reduce flooding in the basement appeared very successful so far. We're overjoyed with the quality of the work, the improvement of our landscaping, and the relief we feel at having improved drainage around the house.
