One reviewer said that DeWolfe made a mountain out of a mole hill and grossly inflated costs. That…read moreis our experience as well. We hired DeWolfe after another engineer made serious errors on our site map (got the set backs wrong and put the home site in the wrong place). After months of the first engineer not returning emails and phone calls, or correcting the site map, we hired DeWolfe to correct the site map and move the home site to within the set back area. Rather than doing that, they contacted the original engineer, who updated the site map and sent it to them in the corrected AutoCAD file. As a result, they really did not need to do the vast majority of the work for which we hired them. While we were grateful that they have a relationship with the first engineer, we are not really very happy about paying them for work they didn't actually do. Even worse: one of the members of our site crew asked their Sr. Engineer if they has measured the distance between the home and the septic system. DeWolf responded by saying that measuring that was "outside the scope of work." Huh? What? They were hired to move the home site. Doing so would 100% require them to measure the distances between the house and septic system. They then proposed an additional design phase to our project, that everyone else has said we didn't need to do and that would have delayed our project past a mission-critical deadline that was fast-approaching. They wanted to charge us an additional $7,000 for this new project that would have caused insurmountable delays for us. Furthermore, even though they did almost none of the actual work for which we hired them, they have told us they used up the entire budget for the project. When we complained and declined to hire them for the additional $7k, they canceled another small project we hired them for (to simply mark the drive on the property, which we believe they should have included in the original work). They seem to want to do the very least amount of work possible, while trying to squeeze as much cash out of their clients as they can.

A structural engineer from this company was hired to give an assessment of a property I was…read moreselling. They turned a molehill into a mountain, to put it lightly, and made it sound like my foundation was failing. They estimated the foundation needed to be rebuilt and gave an astronomically high estimate ($60,000 to $80,000), but they then said to get some contractors in to get actual prices. I had 7 different contractors look at the Dewolfe report, then looked at my foundation, and they ALL disagreed with his assessment- and gave estimates for repairs from $18,000 to $20,000 and totally disagreed that my foundation was failing. This caused the sale of my house to fall apart and I ended up hiring another accredited structural engineer for a 2nd opinion who ALSO disagreed with the Dewolfe estimate and report. Unless you want to get an unrealistic, inaccurate and overly inflated report and estimate, avoid this company!!!

They do attics too…read more This winter I had giant icicles all the way around the house, and a lot of ice on the roof, triggering a leak in the front porch. My neighbors suggested I might have an insulation problem. Out of the blue, BSQ called me (actually, looking for my late mother) to follow up on older files and the sump pump in my basement. "Oh by the way we have now branched into attics and insulation." Funny you should say that.... and within a few minutes I had scheduled a free attic inspection. Before the agent visit, I received a detailed booklet by mail describing the need for insulation, the types on the market, and what type was appropriate given our climate. it also contained a mini survey of the problems observed, which the agent would later use to calculate the quote. The agent went into the attic and took a series of photos and measurements. He confirmed that my leak was not from any hole in the roof (there wasn't one visible), but from condensation caused from inadequate insulation. The insulation that was up there was the original when the house was built -- about 60 years old, matted and dirty, and not helping the house at all. He recommended cellulose that would be blown in; it would never deflate, it was waterproof, fire retardant and pest resistant too. And he was eager to correct the poor impression BSQ had made during the earlier sump pump installation. The installation took about 11 hours. I lost track of how many bags came out of the attic -- I think Petro counted 40.  They kept me updated with their progress throughout the day.  I was a little nervous about the front door open for hours on end, but fortunately there were no squirrels or birds or other unwanted visitors.  It was not too noisy, I was able to hear easily during phone calls. They did blow a circuit at one point but we went downstairs and figured out which circuit to reset. A display of plastic collectibles fell on the floor, but none of them broke.  After they left I saw there was a hook in the closet that got bent out of shape, and a small piece of sugar art broken. But these were minor issues. The team was also very good about cleaning up their mess, both inside and outside. The trapdoor to the attic is through a bedroom closet at the back of the house. They put down tarps on the floor, the furniture, the exposed items in the room. They took away all the bags of old insulation. I just had to sweep up a few crumbs afterwards, and put the shelving back. One heads-up I wanted to share: It took a couple of weeks to empty out the closet where the trapdoor is. There were lots of books and magazines on the side shelves, and I had never seen the floor of this closet. Some of the items were older than I am, and every single thing needed a new, if temporary, home. Definitely a positive experience, although the true test of the insulation will probably only be seen next winter.

Systemes Sous-Sol is an amazing company. They are honest and look out for your best interest…read more They send an engineer to assess your needs and do not try to sell you repairs you do not need. We had an issue with sloped floors and we needed to stabilize the house since lifting it was not an option (too expensive, causing major interior damage, etc.). Mike Costello was our rep and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The team, headed by Yuri Melnick, sent to execute the work was unbelievable. They worked tirelessly, professionally and as cleanly as was possible in this kind of job. The project was done exactly in the time frame contracted and to our utmost satisfaction. We do not hesitate to recommend this company for any kind of foundation issues and then some. Jack, Dollard-des-Ormeaux

It's interesting that all of a sudden…read moreJason got two 5-star reviews on the SAME DAY from people who don't have any other yelp history. It seems very suspicious and then I got a message from Angela saying I need to not be so hateful when in fact, I'm sharing my experience and those of my community. BEWARE!!! Original review here: I'd love to give ZERO stars, but I can't go lower than 1 star. We have a shared dirt driveway with our neighbors and needed it to get redone. If you like projects that were supposed to be 2 weeks and have turned into 9 weeks with no end in sight, having construction work start at 5 pm, no shows, lots of excuses, property damage, paying upfront ... then Jason at Green Excavation is your guy. We had to cut our losses at $4000 and terminate Jason without any of the material he promised (he said we wouldn't get any even though we paid upfront). We now have to hire people who know what they're doing and it will cost $20k to undo the damage he has done, and then additional money on top of that for the project. We have had 3 professionals come to look at what Jason did and they all agree he doesn't know what he is doing. It's embarrassing because we paid 2/3 upfront and we should have done more research. Please learn from me. The lowest price does not mean the best deal. Our poor neighbors decided to keep working with him for their upper part of the driveway, it's been 4 months and their driveway and yard looks like a war zone. STILL NOT DONE!

I found green excavating through our local front porch forum, I figured using a local guy would be…read moregood but my surprise quite the opposite. I met Jason at the house that I was renovating needing to clean out my backyard of Small trees and brush. A contract with sign which he would clear out all vegetation place topsoil and reseed for planting grass. During the renovation he discovered that there were rocks in the soil and stated that it took him longer than he expected. I did let him know that we agreed he would clean the area. After it was mostly cleaned he then wanted the rest of his money. I let him know that the job was not done though I needed to rake and get rid of all the smaller rocks and roots myself which I was not expecting to do. Getting closer to completion he now is asking for more money, wanting $325 more for grass seed. I let him know that we signed a contract and seeding was included. Because of his whining I did agree to pay him an extra $225. When I arrived at the completed project he did not put any topsoil in at all. If I was to have all the smaller rocks and roots removed that would be an additional $800. Finally after already paying him he wants to come back and take the boulders and rocks for someone else that he has promised them to. I explained that I had already given them away and he was upset over this. I have friends that are currently using him at the same time and he has destroyed their driveway and costing them thousands of dollars. I would never use him again and strongly recommend that you find someone else.

Had damp basement and time crunch with pending mortgage closing…read more With 1-day's notice, owner Todd installed a commercial dehumidifier. The next day, when my sump pump failed, Todd returned and installed replacements. Todd listened to my concerns and repeatedly went out of his way to help me. He noticed things in the environment that needed a little fix here or there and he fixed them, not charging me extra. Todd took time to help me understand the issues in my basement so that I'm knowledgable about my home in the future. Todd charged a VERY fair price for his services and charged me nothing for repeated trips. I highly recommend All Dry Basement Solutions. If they could work in other areas of my home, I'd never hire anyone else. Todd also has good people working with him. Both Cara and David were professional, responsive, knowledgeable and nice. Thank you so much!!!

Not really all that impressed. Larry sold me ocean front property in Arizona in the beginning, and…read moreI bought it for the smooth price of 50k. So, they surely have a hell of a salesmen as the end product was not at all what I expected nor was told. To preface, I bought a 175-year-old house with a stone foundation that was bowing. Larry told me I'd get two new foundation walls; it would take two weeks & I would get updates daily. I got one update from Mike 1.0, he seemed nice. Work stalled a lot in the beginning. Seems like they only worked every other day when I was told by the salesmen "once we start a job were there until it ends, we don't bounce guys around" whatever, things happen. Two weeks in when the job was supposed to be complete, I go to check on the progress, and my basement is completely flooded with 4-5 inches of standing water. Somebody had shut the sump drainage hose in the basement door pinching in likely while racing out on Friday. I text Mike 1.0 who informs me he hasn't even worked for the company in over a week. Lovely update! Mike 2.0 the new foremen was nice. Sucked he had to apologize profusely for the way the company's leadership is. I had requested several times for Todd to call me or meet with me to go over the issues. Still haven't heard from him. Four weeks later now the job is "done" & not at all what I was expecting. Poured walls halfway, House isn't even sitting on new "foundation" I was told I was getting. Was charged almost 2 grand for "basement clean out and debris removal" when the debris was tossed into my cistern and the basement is in the same state as it was before. Not sure what they cleaned out or removed (besides the already functional & existing sump pump and corresponding extension cords) Charged almost 5 grand for a sump pump that's duck taped together and leaking at the discharge directly back into the foundation. All in all, would not recommend. Office lady is kind whenever she answers. Company has a serious communication issue. Your foremen's need a raise for having to answer for the company's shortcomings, because the owner surely does not.
