Overall, the remodel went extremely well. It was hard for my wife and me as we were staying in a hotel while the work was being done. I am in a wheelchair recovering from a spinal cord injury and that's the reason for the remodel. Removing all carpet and installation of cork flooring went smooth as silk with no problems. Bathrooms: The master bathroom was gutted and rebuilt with a large roll in shower and cabinets wheelchair height. The floor in the shower slopes to the rear to a drain, keeping the rest of the bathroom dry. The only glitch - the subcontractor started the slope in the wrong place, allowing water into the bathroom. l Voss worked with the sub and set up a date to remove and replace the shower floor at no cost. Kitchen: We had a narrow galley kitchen and the project involved removing the kitchen and installing a new partial wall and an attached peninsula & cooktop. New kitchen cabinets and counter tops were also installed. not one problem , it looks fantastic. There was a wheelchair lift installed in the garage. Contractor: As the General contractor, Al Voss made it all come together on time. We missed the budget only because we made changes and upgrades. Al Voss did an outstanding job and I will use Viss & made it all work together. Sons again. I have recommended them and will continue to do so. Thanks Al!

She said they'd be there the next day. Same thing Wednesday. No crew and no one knew where they were. They finally showed up the next Monday. Apparently the boss was out of town and and quot;when the boss is away...and quot; When they did show up, the job was barely professional. I walked them around the house and spelled out exactly what I wanted done. Two of the downspouts were put on completely opposite to what I had told them, so they had to be redone. Now it is winter and we just discovered that one of the spouts that comes out at the bottom and drains to the yard is exactly level and was draining at the back with the water going under the sunroom. I had to go out and take the downspout apart and do the best I could to get it to slant away from the house.

A1 was there within hours, and everything went smoothly -after building a campfire over the septic tank to thaw the ground enough to dig down to the tank lid! I just can't say enough about the level of service. Septic tank pumping is not a particularly glamorous job, but the guys who have come with the trucks have been polite, professional and cheerful. And let me tell you, they seemed like heroes to me when sewage was backing up through my floor drain! The office staff has been wonderful as well, helping with the required county paperwork when I had just moved in and was unaware of the process. I have never called anyone else, and provided they keep the standard which they currently set, I never intend to.

They started drilling and was shooting all the sand, rocks and water AT our house. They created a burm of sand in front of our door into the house. My husband asked them to make a path that when they hit water it could flow AWAY from our house. Instead they did the opposite. The burm they created covered the entire width of our driveway and was about 4 ft high. When they hit water, the water/ sludge was shooting at the front of our house. There was no where for the water to drain so it started flooding IN the house. OMG, it was such a mess!!! It was seeping in from the front door, under the rock facia and into the house under the baseboards. We asked them from the beginning to put an elbow on the shoot and aim it away from the house. We were afraid they were going to break windows!!! They chose not to. My husband called the office in Randolph. He talked to the owners wife and told her what they were doing and how unprofessional they were. (He has done professional landscaping in the past and have worked with the public in a professional manner, so he knew what he was talking about). She went on to tell my husband, "don't you call my friends unprofessional." He explained to her what they were doing, what he asked them to do, as to not damage our house. She yelled at him and said if he called them unprofessional again she was going to hang up on him. He said that if she did, the next person she'd be talking to would be our lawyer. They sprayed so much sand and silt at our house even our 2nd story windows and all the tracks were covered in sand and mud. It was so much work to clean it all up. We were just happy they didn't break any windows. When they returned to take a water sample (we live more than 2 & 1/2 hrs from their office), they didn't call ahead. If I would have been home alone, I would not have answered the door. He had no identification and was filthy & looked like a vagrant. And when he came into the house his boots were muddy and left mud all over he floor. Now we've had furnace guys come into our house and put on blue booties to protect our floors/carpet. Now that's being professional! We would NEVER recommend Sam's Well Drilling!!!!!

"They removed 2 bushes that were up on a berm in our yard; one was just woody remains of a dead bush, and the other was an ugly thinning bush. The crew dug them out, and replaced the mulch for one, and the decorative stones for the other. They also cleaned up the holes, so you never knew they were even there. Work was done quickly and clean-up was perfect."

"STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN. You cannot trust them. They will rip you off if they can. They bid a project for my parents. They told us, the kids, the project would be 300k, it would be done in August 2025 and take a month to build. After all of that, hey went out to our parents house and had them write a check for $250,000.00 and sign an open ended contract for $750,000.00 where they have $500,000.00 after only doing the concrete. What honest contractor woud ever ask that of a customer. Our parents had no idea about the pay schedule. Needless to say, they were disappointed and felt taken advantage of. They asked if we could help them get of the contract. We have tried to speak with Anthony Lamore about providing us with an itemized bill and a refund.
As of yet, we have received no refund, no bill or breakdown?only threats. Im attchaing the contract for everyone to see.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Onalaska, WI
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
