They did a great job of leveling out house, putting in new footings, drainage, and two new sump pumps. Outside they grated out the yard, new top soil, grass seed, and covered with straw.

In…read morethe recent round of rain storms, my sump pump stopped working as it is supposed to, and I ended up with about 5 inches of groundwater in the basement. I was able to get the sump pump working again, but 3 days after it stopped raining, I was still getting a lot of water in the pit. I found a sticker for Contractors Waterfproofing, and figured they might of installed the system for the old owners, so I gave them a call. From the moment he picked up Greg was service oriented and responsive. He asked for my address to look up the job, and when he couldn't find it, he called back within 5 minutes to ask what was going on. I explained the problem, and he immediately told me that was normal for my part of town, and told me I just needed to replace the pump and I would be fine. He offered me a price that was half what his competitors charge, but I told him I would do the work myself since I am capable. He then answered a ton of questions about the install, and we had a great conversation about life and how my son could maximize his potential long-term, as he is currently a plumbers apprentice. The bottom line is that the system Greg installed 20 years ago is still working perfectly, and when the pump failed, he not only gave me a fair price, but then walked me through how to do the job myself. This is unheard of in 2025. Greg will get all my business going forward. Thank you.

The house was not designed to have a basement and the basement was made after the house was built. It was located at the lowest point of the neighborhood so that the yard is over 4 feet below the street grade. I asked many contractors and nobody could give a warranty on their potentially trial-and-error treatment until I found Gregg. Gregg and his crew know what they are doing. They offer a warranty. They saved our house from the nightmare of the basement flood. In recent big storms our house has been dry and neat. Thank you very much Gregg! Happy Fourth of July!

Shivon, the owner, and Geronimo, his subcontractor are very nice people. But that's essentially where the good vibes end. Just another contractor disappointment. From the very beginning, it was clear something was amiss. They were in such a hurry to get the contract signed and start work. But when the time came to start the job, very little was happening. There were maybe 1 or 2 people here at any given time to tape up all the windows and do some of the stucco repair. But days would pass and no one would show up. The house was uninhabitable because all the windows were sealed with plastic during some of the hottest days of the year. I would ask repeatedly why we weren't moving along and I was told by Geronimo, "we still don't have materials." Which begs the question, why are starting a job you don't have materials to do? Why are you sealing up my house with temperatures in the 80s and 90s if you don't have stucco or paint?!?!? This became the refrain for the next several weeks. (This was supposed to be a 2 week job.) We pushed into June... then July. The material issue never seemed to get resolved. Then it became about weather which is understandable. But that was just a few days here and there. Ultimately, sunny days would come and go and maybe Geronimo's brother or sister would show up to texture things. But this created another issue. The quality of the work just wasn't there. How can there be any continuity if every step of the way, the process is piecemeal. Well, this is where the contractor should be the first line of defense when it comes to quality control. But Shivon was disappointingly pretty absent throughout the process. I can count on one hand the number of times he made it out to my house. I would call and text and no response. I'd then call his office manager (his wife, Ellaine) and he would get right back to me with some excuse as to why he didn't respond the first 3 times. I would see Geronimo more frequently, but his skill set was just not there and he, frankly, seemed more interested in securing direct jobs from my neighbors then doing the job I paid Plaster Pro for. So, I became quality control but my Spanish isn't great. So, there was definitely a language barrier. So, if my contractor is basically AWOL, what am I paying $22K for?!?!? In the end, the job never got finished. There are windows that didn't get fully caulked. Sloppy paint work. Sloppy texture work. The house clearly didn't not get a full two coats of paint. I can actually see where there are two coats and where there aren't. I have stucco and cement glopped onto my pavers and roof. Paint on my window screens. And they used red duct tape to seal my windows as opposed to Painters tape. So, I have duct dried tape glue on my window frames. And there's an entire section of stucco on the garage I had identified to Shivon on our first meeting that is separated from the substrate that never got repaired! Shivon did ask for the balance of what I owe them but the terms of the contract are that the work must be 100% complete. He insisted Geronimo said it was complete, but here's the wrinkle. If Shivon had bothered to come out and do a final inspection, he'd know it wasn't. But he left it to me because he was too busy to give Geronimo the final punch list. True Story. He ultimately relented and said he'd come out to take a look. But the last text I got was "Good Afternoon, how does this Thursday look for us to meet?" I immediately responded the same day with "What time? That was August 23rd. I haven't heard from him since. In the end, it was Shivon's son, Isaiah, that clued me in to what may have been at play here. From the sounds of it, they do a lot of high end work for rich people and celebrities. So, in the end, I was likely not a priority. But, though $22K may not be a lot of money to Shivon and Plaster Pro, it's the most I've spent on this house outside of buying it. Update: I've started uploading photos of how their shoddy work and cheap materials can't even last one NY winter. I'll keep adding pictures since it's only February. What a waste of money and time.

"More like the Home Destroyer" is what another contractor stated once they saw the work that was done in our home by The Basement Transformer also know as The Home Transformer. I will admit that they are very slick salesmen, able to sell you on promises of all the great work they will do to completely transform your space, and they seem to be the exclusive distributors of several products that are waterproof for finishing areas of a home that may get wet. In fact, we spoke to John after we suffered a devastating flood that destroyed the ground floor of our home, and requires extensive work to make it usable again. They came in and assessed the issues and presented some solutions. As we weren't quite sure what our final plans would be, we figured we would stat with getting a cement floor poured. First up was the demolition work, which took much longer than was expected, largely due to scheduling issues they were having because they "had so much work" and were short staffed. The people who had been doing the work even ended up quitting the company even though we had been told they had been working with them for years. They did a lot of unnecessary demolition such as taking down the upper cabinets from our former kitchen, which suffered no damage, likely to justify charging us nearly $10k for a job that other contractors told us they would have been able to do for a quarter of the price. Then came the floor, which was so poorly poured that I'd have been better off doing the work myself. The floor poured is so uneven that I can't put down a 4' level anywhere on the floor where I don't get a big gap under it. Beyond that it seems they didn't even screed several sections, and they left behind swirl marks in sections where they did screed. While that would be bad enough, they later tried to "fix" the poor work they did by grinding the swirls out. However, when doing that work, they failed to isolate the work area, and we ended up getting a massive cloud of silica dust that was so thick it set of smoke detectors two floors up from where they were working. All of our belongings were covered in silica dust that we're still dealing a year and a half after the fact, creating a situation that might have played a role in a really bad cough I developed. What really set these guys apart was just how rude and nasty they got when we were trying to come to a resolution with them for the damage they did to our home and it's belongings, claiming that the issues were our fault because "we had too much stuff" or implying that we were having money troubles. The solutions they did offer were entirely inadequate at addressing the issues they created, and they stopped communicating with us once we told them how much it would cost for them to properly clean up the mess they created. Orange County doesn't have licensing for contractors which is probably the only reason they are able to continue to do business. If you're thinking of doing business with this company, ask yourself if the risk of damage is worth it.

Overall terrible experience - from trying to get an itemized bill for insurance (3 versions, still not itemized. Gave up asking.) They demo'd walls and all window treatments (we did not ask for and I cried), dumped a full truckload of gravel in our driveway - a year later - we still don't have access to our full driveway (after moving half of what was left behind!). Not one spot of the 700sq feet floor is level. There are ripples big enough to trip over, so they decided to SAND DOWN the CEMENT ripples, but FAILED TO PUT UP ANY BARRIERS - NO PLASTIC. SILICA COATED THREE (3) floors of our living area. I had them stop work when our smoke detectors started going off on the 3rd floor. I was outside clueless. My partner called me because his phone was going off saying there was a smoke condition. I walked inside to a ball of dust. I called John from outside immediately... because no one but 2 workers were here and there was a language barrier. "Some dust is to be expected." I replied quite confused and upset at his lack of understanding...as we had b waiting 4 months for the sanding. It was a big day for us. A useable floor. I replied to John with a bit more urgency and pictures. Many pictures... "This isn't some". John said it was safe to enter. And knowing better I said, "No. You don't understand, you need to get over here immediately." I called my partner, told him John said it was safe to enter? My partner and his coworkers in construction said to vacate, get the pets, computers, etc... because it's toxic. I sat in the car with 3 pets, took a business meeting in the car, and then demanded they clean and put us in a hotel. Reluctantly, they did. Still continuing to refused to give us their insurance information... They hired local cleaners to spot clean, but refused a deep clean.
