I had Dan and his team dig a full perimeter french drain in my basement, with a sump pump in the…read morecorner. They were on time and worked hard. However, the french drain and sump pump he installed in my basement was not done properly, and thus is not functioning properly. The sump pit was not placed low enough, and when water rises in the lowest spot in the house it does not flow through the drain and into the pit, where it can be pumped out by the sump pump. Numerous calls and texts, with offers to work me into his schedule, and almost two months later I'm still left with pooling water that can't reach the sump pump because the pit was placed higher than the lowest point in the house. Additionally, Dan cut through the top of the sump pit cover, leaving me with an exposed pit in my basement, which is not normal, illegal in some states, and contrary to recommendations from the American Society of Home Inspectors. When I protested the lack of a sealed sump pit, Dan proceeded to tape garbage bags across the top to create a moisture barrier. This happened because I had asked about adding a third, more powerful sump pump to the regular pump and the battery back up. The pit Dan used only had two knock out holes for piping, so instead of advising me of this, he cut the top open to fit piping for the third pump. Had he advised me properly, I would have opted for two pumps, so we could use the lid as it was designed, and seal it properly. Overall it was a fine experience while they were working here, but a combination of bad advice, no advice, and poor installation have left me with pooling water at what remains the lowest spot in my house, a dry french drain, and an empty but exposed sump pit.

Five Stars for A-1 Quality Installs! If I could give more I would!…read more John and his team are true professionals! My mom had a pool installed by another company that unfortunately did a terrible job. The situation was a mess. Thankfully, John came to the rescue. He and his team evaluated the damage, clearly explained everything my mom would need to replace, and got to work right away. John was prompt, professional, and very reasonably priced. In just two short visits, they completely turned things around. The pool now looks amazing! Huge thanks to A-1 Quality Installs for saving the day. I'll definitely be referring you to all our family and friends! (Check out the photos -- Top/Left shows the original mess, and Bottom/Right shows A-1's magic touch!)

I explained that it was a fieldstone foundation and the guy I spoke with said "no problem." The gentleman showed up when he said he would, which was great that I didn't have to waster 2 hours in traffic for nothing. However, the oddness ensued quickly. Every time I showed him a part of the basement, he'd say "Great. I'll take a look and find you if I have any questions" but his "inspections" would only take 2 minutes. So, we'd walk to the next part of the basement, he'd say he'd let me know when he was done, then I'd wait a minute or two and then proceed to the next section. (I swear I'm not making this up.) It was really odd. After his inspection, I said "what do you think?" He said they don't really do much with fieldstone foundations (which would have been very beneficial to tell me over the phone) but that he was going to talk with his boss and that I shouldn't worry because they wouldn't "leave me high and dry" (no pun intended.) He then excused himself once again to call someone and then a few minutes later comes back to tell me there isn't really anything they can do and we should contact someone who specializes in fieldstone foundation repair and then leaves. I don't know how long I scratched my head after that encounter. Drycrete might be a magnificent company to do business with and their work might be first rate but, from my single encounter with them, I was not remotely impressed and it was a grand waste of my time.

After having an unexpected roofing issue on a 20 year old roof, I gathered 6 estimates from local…read morecompanies. Ray was very responsive to communication from day 1 and was flexible with my roof needs and concerns. Their estimate was not only the cheapest, but it also contained the most product for the money. Ray fit me in earlier than expected knowing I had an ongoing issue that could cause more damage the longer we waited. The crew was prompt and worked hard through the day. They were professional and cleaned up as they went, multiple times. The next day a different crew came to finish up a few loose ends they didn't get to the day before. They were just as professional and cleaned up as thoroughly as they did the day before. Ray and his son stopped by throughout the project both days to ensure all was going smoothly. I highly recommend them for your roofing needs.

Several more issues developed before I signed the contract. I called Nathan. He told me he was driving and he would get back to me. He never did. I called Ray and suggested that the entire roof may need replacing. He promised to come out the following day. He never showed and never called.

My positive experience with the first home in Quincy, more than 15 years ago, was so professional and positive that I didn't need to repeat all the research I had previously done. My 1st home didn't have a pump previously, but water came into my basement and I panicked. I never worried about it again. My new home in Rockland already had an antiquated pump without a battery back up. What good is a pump if the power goes out and you don't have a back up? Plus the outflow piping was not freeze proof and was just a flexible hose. The replacement pump is in, as well as the dehumidifier/air cleaner which feeds right into the pump. It doesn't look at all like anyone was here working today. They called to confirm the day before, they called when they were on the way, they showed up and did an outstanding job. I can't even see where the lawn was dug up to bury the out flow pvc pipes. I'm beyond impressed and finally feel secure about moving furniture into my finished basement.

Worst Contractor Experience Ever - Avoid DryZone Basement Systems / All Things Basementy…read more I had the single most egregious contractor experience of my life with DryZone Basement Systems (the local All Things Basementy provider) on my Massachusetts property. I hired them to clean out my crawlspace, which had an older vapor barrier, and upgrade it to a new vapor barrier system. Their sales pitch and materials specifically promised that the space would be thoroughly cleaned before any new material was installed. On the first day the crew began laying the new vapor barrier directly over the existing dirt, debris, and old vapor barrier without cleaning anything. I immediately stopped the project and contacted management to request a different crew that would actually do the job properly. Management promised they would send a project manager and that he would be on site the whole day on day two while the crew cleaned. What actually happened is that the project manager was only there for about 20 minutes. While the crew was supposedly cleaning out the old material, they only cleaned a small section and then covered up all the remaining old debris and old vapor barrier with the new material -- doing exactly what I had already complained about on day one and had been assured would not happen. To make matters worse, the crew spray-foamed rodent bait stations directly into the side of my house. It was obvious this was done deliberately and in a retaliatory, vindictive manner after I had complained and stopped their work. At that point I fired them. I lost my entire $6,000 deposit and had to hire another crew to rip out everything they had done. The cost to remove their improper work and start over was more than the original contract amount. I ultimately had the crawlspace properly cleaned and the vapor barrier upgrade completed correctly through the Mass Save program. This company showed zero respect for the homeowner's instructions, broke their promises about oversight, and acted dishonestly even after management got involved. I told them in no uncertain terms that they would never be allowed back on my property again. Strong recommendation: Do not use DryZone Basement Systems or any All Things Basementy contractor under any circumstances. They charge double the competition (or more) while promising quality but delivering substandard work. If you need crawlspace cleaning, vapor barrier upgrade, or encapsulation work, hire a dedicated cleanup/restoration crew separately (Servpro or equivalent) to get the space truly clean and ready, then have the new vapor barrier installed through Mass Save or a reputable local contractor. You will save yourself an enormous amount of money and avoid massive frustration. This was by far the worst contractor experience I have ever had. Learn from my mistake.

From the first…read morephone call to schedule an estimate, to Jake arriving at my doorstep, I signed the contract for a new roof with him on the spot. He said we are looking at a wait time of 4-5 weeks but he will do his best to expedite it. And just like that, he worked his magic behind the scene and they were ready to put on a new roof for me in one week!! The team showed up on a Thursday morning and finished the entire roof project by Friday night. Dan Essay the project supervisor is on site for the entire two days and even showed up on a 3rd day to walk around the property to make sure there is no loose ends. He went out of his way to beg the dumpster company to come on a weekend. He is the most professional, experienced roofer, and a great genuine communicator. Everyone is super skilled, efficient, and very detail-oriented and thorough. They did a bang up job and cleaned up so thoroughly. This company is a dream! Definitely worth the money. Thanks to the O'lyn Team, Jake and Danny.

I am just reviewing based on the quote process of this company…read more I called them to get a quote based on the high google reviews. I was surprised to see that the ratings were much lower on yelp. I proceeded anyways because I was already on the phone as I was reading the reviews here. They got Mike, the owner next day to provide a quote. There was some slight mis communication with the timing but regardless he inspected my roof for about 10-15 minutes and emailed me over the quote at night. Overall the price quoted was reasonable, I did not move forward with O'lyn Roofing but I did appreciate them making the quote process easy and painless. I have gotten quotes from 2 other companies and they would make me sit through 60-90min presentation before just giving me a number. In one case I cut them off at 30min and they left without giving me a quote, instead insisted to reschedule another 30min to talk. No one have time for all that! Mike seems like a decent guy, straight to the point based on my short interactions with him and the quote process. Although I did not move forward with them for this particular project, I will keep them in mind if anything changes or if any other projects come up down the line.
