Complete Waste of Money - All Three Projects Had to Be Fully Redone…read more I'm writing this review to help other homeowners avoid the significant time and money I wasted, as well as the frustration I experienced with Travers Construction. After my father passed away over three years ago, I hired them for a basement water penetration project because he had trusted and used them for years. I assumed I could trust them too. That project was the beginning of the end. It was clear that water was coming up through the foundation at the front of the property... they insisted that digging a trench about 15 feet from the house and filling it with stone was what needed to be done to fix the issue. I asked them whether this would just result in groundwater building up against the foundation as the path of least resistance, but they insisted that wasn't true -- and that is exactly what happened. At the time I didn't have experience with these types of repairs, so I trusted their recommendation. They backfilled the trench with stone right up to grade and laid the grass directly on top of the stone with no dirt or topsoil. The grass died because it had nothing to root into. After the very next rain we had more water in the basement than ever before. When the problem persisted and worsened, they washed their hands of it and left. Their so-called repair made the situation worse and was a complete waste of money. Another contractor had to remove all of their work and redo the entire project properly. After this experience I was smart enough not to use them again. Only then did I look back at the earlier projects they had done for my father and realize every single one of them was also complete trash that ultimately had to be removed and redone by another contractor. French drain project (~3 years ago, around the time of my father's passing): The quality of work was awful. No filter fabric was added to the drain and the perforated pipe wasn't even connected. The system was failing less than two years later. It will need to be completely redone in the next few years. It was a complete waste of money. Patio / backyard foundation project (~14 years ago): They were hired to eliminate water penetration at the rear foundation of the house. They backfilled with pure clay. The project failed and water intrusion through the foundation started less than 10 years later. The patio had to be removed and the entire project had to be completely redone by another contractor last year. Their work not only failed to solve the water problem -- it was a complete waste of money. In all three projects Travers Construction delivered substandard work using improper materials and techniques. Every job failed, required full removal of their installation, and had to be completely redone from scratch by a different contractor at significant additional cost. They appear to prioritize quick jobs and collecting payment over quality or lasting results, leaving homeowners to pay twice (or more) to fix the problems they created. If you are considering Travers Construction, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I trusted them when I moved to the area because my father had used them in the past -- and it cost my family substantial time, money, and repeated frustration. Learn from my experience and hire someone else.

I strongly suggest you use them and I give them the highest marks for their work and their reasonable prices.

Boy was I ever surprised! In my new home with older pine trees, a big snow storm left me with more…read moretree damage. I had no time to take care of the mess while moving to and organizing the new home. Let alone some stranger knocking on my door. An elderly chap with a wife in their car, I had to lend an ear and forget about the pending tax return. I don't often ask anything except do you have a town permit to solicit door to door, but I had an urge to talk. Then came the real reason he was here...the tree damage. we walked around the yard talked about what I knew had to be taken care of and a bit more. I was given a verbal price that I could not have beaten anywhere on the Cape. I agreed, we shook hands and he made a call. It was about 2PM and I was told they would be here this afternoon. Oh, yea I wondered what was next. Well, he left and about 15 minutes later a caller told me the team would be arriving about 4PM...AND THEY DID. 3 guys with an 85 foot boom truck which would be of no use for the project. OK, the 3 dawned on climbing gear and trees came down. Then a bobcat arrived on scene. Another 10 minutes and a log chipper was in front of my house. Work force was now up to 5 plus a supervisor and by 7PM everything was done! The work I had shook hands on, an additional pile of branches, the entire house frontage the the roadway in front of the house and the driveway were all cleaned. Everyone was gone when Dale rang the door bell, I paid the agreed upon price, had a nice talk with Dale and his wife. A couple of other tree problems that might need some professional attention were pointed out and a promise to return when called. Another hand shake and we departed each with friendly smiles and seance of a job well done, well above my expectations!

We interviewed many companies but he was the most responsive with great reviews, he gave a firm detailed quote and not only showed up but did a fantastic job. Our yard always looks great and he is a really nice guy and hires smart competent workers. We needed our 27 hydrangeas pruned and fixed from a butcher job the previous owners had done. We had just finished the hydrangea pruning class put on by Heritage Gardens and I was not able to prune them because of surgery. I asked Jae if he knew how and would take care of it. His guy showed up and I watched as he expertly pruned them. It is a precise task and he did it perfectly. No job has been too big or too small. He charged a fair price, shows up on time and does a great job. We highly recommend JS Landscape!
