I couldn't be more disappointed in my experience with Dennis Meyer. Several people told me that he was the best in the area to help with the terrible water problems I'd been having at the house I bought two years ago; that he is on the pricey side, but worth it because he is so knowledgable - that if anyone could figure out what needed to be done, it was him.
Initially my experience was very positive. His daughter answers the phone; she was pleasant and helpful. When he had to miss our first meeting because he was ill, she called immediately to apologize and schedule a new time. That time, Dennis came and did a walk through and around the house with me and seemed confident that the problems were fixable and that he could do it.
Dennis told me he used a landscape contractor to do the regrading he recommended, so I asked him to bring that person back to look and come back to me with a sketch and an estimate. He did later (in the next week or so, I think) come back with the landscaper and they walked the yard.
My first meeting with Dennis was August 30. It is now November 2 and I have yet to get an estimate or even a return phone call to the messages I have left. The last time I called I asked that even if he for some reason didn't want the work, to at least do me the courtesy of calling or even just sending a quick email to let me know. Absolutely no response. Unfortunately, given the feedback I'd gotten from others, I kept thinking that I'd get a call back any day, and now I've wasted two months' time and am right where I was in August.
Needless to say, even if he did call now, I would never have him do any work on my house, given the treatment (or lack thereof) I've received in this instance. It seems apparent that he has a great reputation and charges accordingly; I'm very surprised and very disappointed. I am always quick to recommend anyone who does good work for me; unfortunately for Dennis Meyers I'm also quick to warn others off if I feel it's warranted, and in this case it certainly is. read more
