I am so grateful to have called Davco to work on our house. We had the best experience right from…read morethe start. They were responsive, quoted us fairly, on time, professional and lead with integrity. Last fall when we received the quote, we had some other repairs on the house that needed to be completed first. Davco told us what we could do in the meantime to tide us over, which they were under no obligation to do. Their suggestions worked AND when we reached out to them last month to say we were ready to start our chimney and foundation work, not only did they honor the quote, they had us booked on the calendar within a week. The masonry work they did on our house looks beautiful and they're even coming back to complete the last couple of spots after National Grid wraps our power lines. I can't say enough about this company. We will always use and recommend them.

On 4/24/25 I contracted with Davco to have a cement sidewalk connecting the existing east side…read moresidewalk around the back of the home to a existing patio then from the patio up the west side of the home connecting to the existing front sidewalk. The contract stated 98LF,5"wide, and 6" deep as discussed.the price of the job was 8,400.00 which was paid in cash 50% to start, 25% after removal of forms and 25% upon completion. The job was started approximately June 10th, by mid August the cement was pitting, a crack formed where the sidewalk meets the patio, no backfill was placed and cement on the garage and house.Dave was contacted and did send a worker to clean but nothing else was addressed. Two other workers stopped by and stated the job was not done correctly there is a heaved, and the crack was a combination of no rebar and excavation was not done properly. Fast forward to April 2026,after the winter there is a second crack on the east side connecting to the existing front sidewalk. My husband contacted Dave via email stated the job is not complete no backfill still and two cracks now. Dave set a worker to backfill and stopped himself where he had a conversation with my husband about the cracks and in his mind the job was completed and offered no reason for the cracks. I have left 2 voice messages May/June No response! The ironic piece of this story the supervisor of this job stopped by August 2025 on his own to make the necessary corrections to the job. Unbeknown to us he had been fired from Davco 2025 based on two botched jobs one being a garage as told to us by an employee. All I want is what I paid for and a little customer service goes a long way. The owner could care less if a customer is pleased. He tries to bully people by his attitude and belligerent manners. Made a complaint to the BBB which he has not responded to. I would not recommend him or his company to a dead man!

I had Josh's estimate 24 hours after our initial meeting. They fixed miniscule hairline cracks; caulked/prepped every hole, dent, flaw; fixed a bad "repair" (done by former owner's not-so-handyman) on the sloped ceiling at the top of the stairs that probably saved me $$$ in future repairs. They respected my belongings, covering everything as they went. They asked questions as to my preferences as they went. They arrived on time each day, and cleaned up each day. Josh and Jesse are excellent painters. My home's interior is beautiful now. Just hire them. A few photos will follow.

Last November I noticed a minor leak close to one of the skylights on my roof. I hired Star…read moreRoofing based on a recommendation, which turned out to be the worst decision to make. They charged me over $500 to put a few drops of caulking on top of already existing screws (picture attached.) Sure enough, the roof leaked again, this time I climbed on the roof to see what has been done. That is when I discovered that all they did was to place single drops of Caulking on top of already existing screws. I hired another roofer and had the skylight sealed and the leak stopped, even with the recent heavy rain. This new roofer charged me only $350 for the work. My mistake was that I trusted Star Roofing's words, and did not go up on the roof to check the work myself. Lesson learned! The awful thing is that not only I would never trust this company ever again, but now I can't trust other good workers who actually do what they charge a costumer for. Yes, unfortunately one BAD APPLE, ruins the whole box.

I used Dave of DMC Handyman Services to fix a ceiling drywall problem caused by a leaking toilet on…read morethe floor above it. The problem looked like a disaster, it was very troubling. I called Dave after doing a search on Google. He came immediately to scope out the problem. He gave me a very reasonable quote which was better than a couple of drywall specialists I called. A friend whose brother is a contractor spoke to her brother who confirmed Dave's price was extremely reasonable for the Albany/Capital region and I should jump on it. Dave finished the job professionally and the ceiling now looks like no repair was needed. He fixed the ceiling drywall seamlessly and very smoothly, and then painted it. I paid him the price we agreed to. A couple of weeks later he came for a plumbing issue and met the tenants while I was at work. A new garbage disposal was needed to fix the problem. I picked one up at Lowe's Fri night and Dave came Sat morning to install it. No plumber needed. He also repaired a loose front doorknob while he was here. He can do a wide range of things. I would recommend him without hesitation. He definitely deserves 5 stars, if not more.

In July 2020, we had a few businesses come to give us estimates on correcting our basement water…read moreproblems. We already had been using a sump pump and there were French drains that weren't performing properly. We decided to use Rapid Response as a medium cost estimate. Rick himself came to give us the estimate but on the day of the work, it was just the young guys who would do the heavy work. We had asked to have the location of the sump pump hole moved because it had been located right next to the boiler. We thought that was a wise move. The work was done quickly, within two days. The new discharge location seemed to be a good choice. But we were disappointed that the discharge pipe was only placed literally inches below the ground. Which absolutely guaranteed freezing in the winter. Now there is a freeze discharge above the ground but that in itself created a new problem. Within three months of the installation, we had three sump pumps burn out! Christmas morning that year, which we had rain and 60 degrees, we had 6" of water in the basement and had to call the fire department to pump us out! When the alarm had gone off on Christmas Eve that the sump pump wasn't working, attempts to reach Rick went unheeded. He did finally arrive after the fire department came to help us and installed a different sump pump. As an extra precaution, a few days later he installed a second sump pump in the same hole as a back up. We are happy to say they have lasted so far. However, last spring as the ground was still frozen and the discharge pipe was still frozen, we had a great deal of rain. The sump pump was discharging twice a minute. However, with the freeze discharge being right beside a basement window, as much water was just going back into the basement as was being discharged! I called and emailed pictures to Rick for help....but still have never heard a response. This begs our concerns if either of the sump pumps fail that we will get a response from Rick. And this spring, we are realizing that the water being discharged from the sump pump is flooding our septic drainage fields. Contacting our septic company, they felt that a responsible basement business person would have asked us about where our septic fields were. And would have directed the sump discharge in a different direction. Long story... BEWARE dealing with Rapid Response!
