It would be an understatement that my project was complicated and intimidating. Sitting on a 50 +…read morefoot high cliff, I had a retaining wall separating from my backyard in desperate need of replacement. Limited access to the property and backyard further complicated the scope and ease of executing this project. My wife and I solicited several inquiries from different contractors, and were only made more aware of the complications and challenges ahead based upon the lack of willingness many demonstrated in taking on this project for us. Finding a contractor willing to navigate the challenges of the property while executing within a realistic timeline and within an affordable price seemed impossible. That was until we spoke with Maggio. Artie was confident from day one that he and his team would be able to create an attainable resolution. Artie and his team came up with several approaches we could take on executing the retaining wall replacement, provided us a reasonable price, and then met every benchmark set during our project planning and execution. While on site, Maggio's team was efficient and effective proceeding with care and safety but working at a pace that exceeded our expectations. The completed work is gorgeous and far exceeded our expectations for what our backyard would look like. It's already been such a tremendous relief to have our backyard secured, rebuilt, and drained correctly to avoid erosion damage like we experienced with the previous retaining wall. Through the entire process, we felt like Maggio was working with us to succeed on this project and continually exceeded our expectations. I have no doubt now that not only was Maggio the right team for this project, but the right team for any future landscaping/hardscaping projects that remain for my property in the future. Thank you Artie, Stephen, and Peter Maggio for all your support and hard work here at Cliff House.

Clog was a plunger issue and not a frozen pipe. I assume it was frozen because it was coming up in shower. Everything was rushed. Left. I ran the water and shower backed up with disgusting things again. Never checked that problem was resolved. I called right away and they came back with an attitude and plunged shower. Acted like he was doing me a favor and told me he would not charge me for return call. Really? Paid a grand and pretty much did nothing. To top it all off, did not reinstall toilet correctly so I had to deal with that. Total money grab as a result of having a machine that others do not. Never again. Would have posted review sooner. I was prompted by service in my house in New Jersey. Main line clogged. Plumber was here for close to two hours with all kinds of equipment.

We have a family summer home in Durham NY. Over Memorial Day weekend, with 11 guests staying at…read morethe house, we had a problem with our septic tank! We needed to have it fixed or otherwise would've had to tell everyone to go home :( We searched for a septic company on the internet - we spoke with many companies that told us that they could not help us until after the holiday weekend was over. I finally reached Baumanns septic company - and told my story to the owner on the phone! She was very compassionate to our situation and sent 2 gentleman over to pump out the septic and fix the situation for us. We were so grateful to them, coming out on the Sunday of a holiday weekend when others turned us down. And the men were friendly and thorough with the job! I would highly recommend this company for all of your septic needs. We will certainly be using them for all of our septic maintenance in the future. Thank you Baumann's!

Our house dates from 1949, as did the septic tank, a galvanized tin container about 6' in diameter,…read moreno leach field. As the tank had caved in recently, we no longer had a functioning system (which indeed backed into the house at Christmas time.) After we trenched out the old system and at least got liquids flowing, we sought out bids to replace. Not only did the whole system have to get rebuilt to code, but we also had to deal with shale rock inches below the lawn and a wooded area leading down the hillside for the site of the leach field. Given the scope of the project, the first contractor we spoke to was never heard from again. J&R Contracting, headed up the the father and son team of Rick and Rick, arrived 2 days after we called, sized up the project, gave us a realistic estimate given the challenges of the site (e.g. assume an extra day to jack hammer through the shale to create a pit.) We said, "Sure!" Rick took a deposit to pay for the construction of a low profile holding tank, said they'd be back to do the job when the tank was ready. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, the team showed up with two backhoes, a dozer, trucks to transport in sand and topsoil, and chainsaws. We mapped out an area for the tank and leach field, and then they got to work. Over three days a level area was created for the leach field after removing some scrub trees. Specimen trees were tagged and left alone. The big project was jack hammering out the pit, as deep as I am tall. The tank was lowered in, piping connected and soil smoothed over. As J&R already had all the equipment on site, we asked for two days of extra work to bring in ten loads of sand and topsoil to regrade the lawn, reshaping to direct rainfall and winter melt away from the house foundations. The final step in late April will be to distribute shade tolerant grass seed across the new lawn. The final bill matched the original estimate. The added time and materials for sculpting the lawn was, of course, extra. The results far exceeded our expectations.

Hired this company because they were super close to my house. They came out once to fix a clog we…read morehad, and it ended up costing over $1500. The guys were extremely unprofessional, drove all over and ruined more than half of my lawn, and my flower garden. The one guy was literally yelling and cursing at the other guy. And when they couldn't get the problem fixed the first day? The owner came over and proceeded to threaten to call the town on us for having our septic access dug up. We had them come back the next day to dig up the pipe to see if that was the problem but when it came to shovel dirt? They gave up after only digging a 2ft wide by 2ft deep hole. They pumped the pipe and poured some sort of acid down it and got it moving again, but never 100% fixed the problem. Should have known better. The way they keep their home(office?) is disgusting. They are the eyesore on the road. Don't waste your money. Just rent the tools from Home Depot and do it yourself.

I'd like to offer my highest recommendation for Superior Sanitation…read more To give a little background, I found myself in a nightmare situation because of a complete hack job by another septic company. I hired them to install a brand-new, updated septic system because I was preparing to sell my home. During the sale process, the system failed inspection. To make matters even worse, the company that installed the new tank completely ghosted me, leaving me to deal with the mess on my own and putting my home sale at risk. Superior Sanitation came out promptly, thoroughly assessed the situation, and put together a quote for me very quickly. They even managed to squeeze me into their busy schedule so they could repair the damage caused by the previous company. From the moment they arrived, I could tell I was dealing with true professionals. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and use of camera equipment to inspect the system gave me tremendous peace of mind. Unlike the previous company, Superior actually knew what they were looking at and took the time to explain everything to me. Throughout this incredibly stressful experience, everyone I talked to--including my plumber--spoke very highly of Superior Sanitation. Now I completely understand why. Every person I dealt with, both on the phone and in person, was professional, accommodating, kind, and genuinely cared about helping me. I am beyond grateful that Superior Sanitation came to my rescue and fixed what another "pro" had completely botched. They turned an incredibly stressful situation into one I could finally move forward from. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and dependable septic company, I recommend Superior Sanitation without hesitation. They have earned my trust, and I will recommend them 100% of the time!

I have recently bought a house in the area and Kevin was recommended by my neighbor to advise me…read moreabout a huge Maple in my front yard that had lots of decay. He gave me what I thought was a fair price to remove the tree, then also removed the stump, as well as an additional stump from a tree removed by the previous owner. He was professional, showed up as promised, and left my yard clean, with no sign there was ever a tree there. Fast forward 3 months and I had to call him again when a large Ash fell on the back of my house, destroying the deck and doing damage to my Sunroom and roof. I am very grateful for Sweet Tree for responding quickly and getting that tree off my house, cut up and hauled away for a fair price. He took photos for me to share with the adjuster, left everything very tidy, and also cut 4 stumps for me to sit on around my future fire pit, in addition to stacking up a manageable supply of wood to burn. Kevin made a somewhat stressful event much easier for me. I highly recommend Sweet Tree.
