Basement waterproofing around the residence
I started to do some renovation around the house June 2008. Hired this company to do waterproofing and interlocking for the backyard and the front of the house. But since they started was only mess and no organization at all. They did the work half fast, used the right material, but they provided inferior work since begining to the end. Was nothing else then mistakes. After they finished their work they start repairing immediately, because I have water inside the basement. After they finished the repair not more then 2 weeks I had water inside the basement again in the same spot. Does this company looks relaiable? They would come to work whenever they feel like. For them was not important to leave a satistfy custemer behind their job, but just to get the money and do the work half fast and not even right. Never mind time frame and contract obligation and garbage all arround the house.I Never had this kind of experience in my life. In the mean time I had other contractor to do other works and they are very reliable and they are doing excelent job. In the mean time I am interviewing other companies to come and repair thier job. What a summer!!!

- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Please sign a contract with the contractor and don't give as a downpayment more then 10% of the all contract value. Be careful with the subcontractor and make it clear your relationship with the contractor. Keep a 10% of the contract value after all work is fionished and before paying this amount check if the contractor put any lien against you. Make sure that the contractor is member of other buildier association and if they are reliable and if they are covered under licenced and insurance. Do your home work before hiring the contractor.
