The erecting sub-contractor, on the other hand, was not fun to deal with. On a sunroom, these are the guys who spend most of the man-hours on site. The foreman was poor on communicating with us and failed to show up when we were expecting them. My wife and I took vacation days to be home, when nobody showed up. There were no apologies, just excuses. To be fair, they did a quality job when they finally finished. On the night of the 18th, we had a torrential downpour, and there were no leaks, and the room is wonderful.
Again, excellent quality, poor communication and punctuality for that one prime sub-contractor. Sunroom Design Group and the other two subs are all good. But I have to hold SDG accountable for the performance of the erecting crew. Remember, there are two or more sides to every situation. This is how we, as the customers, experienced it. It probably looks a little different to the contractors.

The insurance company only required me to get one estimate, and my first choice was to go to my Hyundai dealer in Sheboygan, where I get my oil changes and other maintenance. They gave me an estimate that seemed quite high, and they didn't have a loaner vehicle available for me to use to get to work. I decided to call Vogel, which I'd used in the past for other vehicles, and they immediately put me at ease. They made me feel important, and taken care of right from the start. After asking me a few questions, Gene - the service person I worked with - told me over the phone that he was concerned about my safety in my present vehicle, because the collision with the truck had crushed my headlight. "We'll get you a loaner, so that I can look at that headlight. Whatever else is wrong with your car, we can at least fix up that headlight for now." This was even before I agreed to give them my business. I drove to Vogel, and they gave me the keys to a brand new Chevy Impala (far nicer than my own car). They said I could use it for the next few days while they took a good look at my car and developed an estimate for the repairs. It didn't matter that I'd need to drive their car to work and back (120 mile round trip) every day. Just return it with the same amount of gas. It took them almost a week to get me the estimate (it's a busy place). I didn't mind because I was having fun driving that Impala. When I got my insurance company's approval (Vogel's estimate was about $300 lower than my dealer's), Vogel couldn't fit me in to actually do the repairs on my car for another three weeks. This meant I had to drive my bashed in vehicle for a little longer. But what Vogel had done while examining my car was make it safe and presentable. They fixed the headlight and punched out the worst of the dents. They had also washed off all the mud and salt from Wisconsin's horrible winter highways. They loaned me another nice Impala while they did the repairs, which cost about $3,500. When I got my little Elantra back, I was thrilled. It was gorgeous. Like new. It looked better than it had before the accident. Both the outside and inside (which they must have vacuumed) looked immaculate. They gave me a little handout for taking care of the new paint job. Don't go through any car washes for a month or so, etc. I have fallen in love with my car all over again, and I owe this to Vogel's great work. They sure know what they are doing when it comes to auto body work. They also know how to provide great customer service. They made me feel valuable. My dealer, a much larger shop, could take a few lessons from this locally owned shop in Kiel.

Ziggy fixed a serious, long-standing roof leak between our garage and house. He stripped the affected area of the garage roof down to the plywood, installed ice & water, installed flashing, and re-shingled. He also remediated leak damage to the garage drywall and checked all joists/beams for...

They were supposed to insulate all the windows, but the wind was blowing threw them and they had to come back. They were still leaking afterwards, and they just blamed the house. The window manufacturing company came out and put some clips inside them, which did not work. Then in April, they...
Very difficult getting county planning and zoning approval, but SDG's chief project manager made it happen. Excellent work on his part. The excavation contractor - Micke Digging & Hauling - was excellent: they scraped, dug, poured for the foundation and floors on time and did a good...

these guys are the best. Took care of the entire problem, that involved many internal and external repairs and mold removal. They also helped me to get insurance payments.

"Gerry is an exceptional contractor and exceptional human being. As newer homeowners and inexperienced handy persons, Gerry went out of his way to explain processes and provide thoughtful insight into the work being completed. He has a great relationship with his subcontractors and that was prominent when issues arose as they were quickly fixed. We provided Gerry with a professional drawing of the basement and he provided his thoughts and made quality improvements without changing the overall layout. Our basement was built during the COVID pandemic and Gerry stored masks and disinfectant directly outside our front door so all parties involved felt comfortable and safe. During the initial quote was honest about the supply chain disruption and the potential for delay in supplies. Overall, it was fantastic to have an individual flexible and accommodating to the changing environment. The quality of finished basement exceeded our expectations by far. We were skeptical of hiring a general contractor at first, but have no questions since hiring Gerry. If we were to build a home or have another significant remodel, we would hire Gerry again in a heartbeat."

"Everyone who worked on my project were subcontractors. The contact person’s contracting company did not do a good job, then tried 3 times to fix it by remudding and painting. It truly was unacceptable drywall installation. This doubled the length of the project. Corners were cut, critical steps were not done. I was left finally with a finished project done correctly by another drywall installer. It was not a pleasant experience, and I do not recommend them."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Dale, WI
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
