    After - A multi-story house painted in blue with a gabled roof and multiple windows. The front entrance is accessed via a brick staircase with a small porch and a black door. The front yard features a paved walkway, bushes, and a lamp post on the left side. The house has a chimney and appears to be in a residential neighborhood.

    we had Tough Build create a new front wall and walkway. we were so pleased we then had our old deck ripped out and a stone patio put in. John and his team are exceptional to work with. very professional, very talented and extremely neat. Highly recommend them.

    Before: Awful and falling apart. - The image features a close-up view of a brick chimney with moss growing between the bricks and a metal cap on top. The background includes green trees with sunlight filtering through the leaves and a partial view of a house. The scene suggests an outdoor setting during daytime.

    Rescon Basement Solutions - Duct tape coming off after they came to fix the moisture barrier

    Rescon Basement Solutions

    Rescon never called me back on 11/4/24 as they promised to look into what the heck is happening…read morewith my service or lack thereof. So I used my lunch break to call them back again. They redid the moisture barrier and left it in a unworkmanlike manner. They refused to come back and fix it. Why? They cancelled a job for which I paid a down payment without letting me know. Why? I was told we don't work on things we didn't install. Poppycock. Why give the estimate in the first place? And they HAVE worked on the bulkhead before, which they did NOT install! I called to ask why my work was cancelled and why they never came back to finish the job. I asked proactively if they were cancelling my sub pump maintenance appointment for next year, which they did, and never told me. They said they will no longer do business with me and nothing more. After I paid them %1,000s, being a customer since 2019. They installed 2 dehumidifiers, sub pump, back up battery, bulkhead moisture barrier and basement wall moisture barrier. John from the Hooksett office gave me a quote for work, see my earlier review, which they later took back. Huh? What the heck is going on with this company? They just keep repeating we don't do business with you anymore. If this is how they treat loyal customers, I wouldn't use them. Would you?

    RESCON came for the annual maintenance of my sump pumps (regular and backup). Mike P. was the…read moretechnician and he was great! He did the job and alerted me to the fact that there was something that should be repaired and also mentioned that the original sump pump which was something like 15 years old was in need of replacement at some point sooner than later. I don't like surprises so I asked Mike to get everything in order, including the new sump pump. He did what was needed. There was never any pressure to buy anything. He took the time to do the job well and I am appreciative of that.

They were thoughtful, clean and very polite. Also, they are honest. I can't say enough about them in every way. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any waterproofing job needed. They go beyond the job and actually do more than was in the contract without charging for it. No one is better and they are truly perfect.

    Called them because my elderly aunt was getting water in her basement anytime there was heavy…read morerainfall. 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.

    Two leaky chimneys (previously 'fixed' more than once) needed serious repair, but then due to…read moreadvanced rot the job quintupled in price and became a partial and full rebuild including work 3' under the roofline for one chimney. Gulp! James's crew worked for days in the heat and did what appears to be a fine and handsome job. Not being a mason I can't really evaluate their work, although it has poured since, and all is well, not the case before. Nice guys and dependable as to schedule. Everything on handshake; I will ask for at least some minimal paperwork and guarantee.

    Do not work with keystone masonry. We hired them to repoint the chimney and patio…read more After further inspection by them, the chimney was falling over so they needed to do a rebuild. While I asked multiple times for a new quote, I never received one and we were going to deal with billing at the end (not something I preferred, but my chimney was coming down). During the rebuild, they broke our skylight to which our main POC didn't answer his phone. We went out to buy the tarp to cover it up. The patio work was done poorly and the "rebuild" of the chimney (no new flashing) was another $2,500 (a made up number given quotes we received from other chimney / masonry services + that was the quote we got to fix the skylight with a new custom window (which they broke)). James was just trying to get out of the deal after breaking the skylight and rushed through the job as he was going to lose money. They aren't trustworthy and don't get scammed by them as I was; not a good hire.

    Premier Basement Waterproofing - High Octane Drainage pipe

    Premier installed a french drain system for us about four years ago and we couldn't be happier with…read morethe results and the overall experience with this company. All of our interactions/communications were very positive. Before the job, everything was very transparent from pricing, the work to be done, options available, etc. And the crew performing the work was extremely professional. Prior to contacting Premier, we had water issues in our basement which made our basement nearly unusable; after getting moderate rain we'd get big puddles of water. After Premier installed the french drain, the basement has become our home office, our workout room, and we can store things without worrying about water damage. Four years later, the basement has been BONE DRY ever since - no water whatsoever, no matter had hard it rains. If you're on the fence, I can say: "do it" - it's been 100% worth it for us, and has transformed the way we use our basement. And Premier Basement Waterproofing is absolutely the company to use, to get the job done right.

    The people are amazing , Grace ,and Jerry who work out the office and doing quotes were the first…read moreto respond and Jerry got out to my place fast. Marvin the young man who ran the job site is absolutely amazing , I can't say enough good things about him . The price was a little higher than quotes that came in after I went with Premier but if I had those quotes before and could of saved 2k I would choose not to and stay with Premier mainly because of those 3 people I named. I had a foot of water in my basement after a storm, Marvin arrived and put a sump pump in to drain all the water . He got Jerry to come in and look it over for a quote. I'll post the price and work done. - Came out and drained all the water with sump pump - they demoed a whole room , taking down all the walls , heating system and doors then disposed of all the wood. -they dug , installed about 100 sq feet of French drain , poured drainage gravel on top then re-cemented over it. - they installed a 2 pump system with battery back up and alarm - they installed a moisture barrier on the entire basement - They dug a trench and ran sump line out to safe area outside - Took 3 full days to complete - they stayed until 9pm on a Friday to be sure it was 100% completed. - everything was about 15k in total If you use them make sure you ask for Marvin to do the work , he's very honest and answers all your questions without trying to upsell anything . They literally just left my house at 9pm because they wanted it finished before tomorrows rain , only thing left is Jerry was going to have someone reconnect the heating but everything water proof wise is complete. I'll update the review if there's any issues but as of this moment I've never felt better about a service.
