    After getting the crawl space done still got Water...
    Nancy W.

    we continue having issues with the pump from US water proofing that they put in our basement. We have had our main line rotted out which was another $700 cost on top of having to pull out everything in our basement losing precious pictures wedding because of the system that they claim was supposed to be put into the main sewer system, but if you google it, it states you shouldn't because this overloads the system We've had to buy multiple pumps to get all the water out of our basement, which is another cost of $500. It just seems like ever since they put this system in our basement we have spent more money nobody from the company has come out to inspect the system even though every year they are suppose to come out or make an appointment with us to check and make sure the pump is running correctly. its like once they got paid, they forget you exist. just tired at this point of the money that has come out of our pockets ever since we had this put in this in our basement. It's been a nightmare for five years. They're gonna claim it because of Chicago or try to not put it on them, but we didn't have this issue prior to this this pump.

    Poor cement fill job
    Alex U.

    We just got our basement sealed up. So I can't speak to whether they did a good job keeping the water out. Only time will tell. The problem is they had to cut into our driveway to access the outer wall and the concrete fill job looks awful. When I called them about it they said it is standard "feathering" process to keep the concrete from cracking. They call this out in the fine print of their paperwork but they should show people photos of what it will look like when it's finished before people sign off to agree to this. It's horrible and makes our property look junky. I feel like they just want to squeeze the extra cash out of me to do the cement fill job. I would have preferred to fill it with gravel and dirt and grow some plants along the house instead.

    Our foundation wall crack repairman arrives on the scene.
    Howard L.

    I own a 21 year old townhome and this past May, which I believe was the rainiest on record for Chicagoland, a foundation crack developed that allowed seepage into my finished basement.  With a few phone calls and some documentation, my HOA (homeowners' association) contacted both US Waterproofing and Permaseal to have this covered repair taken care of.  As US Waterproofing had the earliest  available freed-up opening, they were picked for the followup and subsequent repair.  After an inspection, the foundation crack was subsequently located and repaired and the drywall also repaired by mid July, which was actually a couple months ahead of their competitor.  This past summer was a very busy period for these guys and I was happy the job was done on whatever timeline. Firstly, John of USW came out for an initial inspection and was very good and thorough at doing and explaining his external water hose test, crawling where he could under my back patio deck, and doing an internal foundation wall inspection (via a sump pump closet) to identify the likely crack location.  He was a real pro and represents USW very well to the customer.  Foundation cracks aren't always where you think they might be just based on where you see the water.  Their price for the foundation wall and associated drywall repair was $1700 which I thought was quite reasonable and paid for by my HOA as mentioned.  I had to do my own internal drywall painting as it's kinda oddly not an HOA covered expense, but it was no biggie for me. The foundation crack repair guy Valentino came out by appointment a couple weeks later and did his thing.  He didn't wear a mask until I put my own mask on after a while and he then followed suit.  Being a vendor, I thought that wasn't tip-top professional especially at that time during our pandemic.  When done with the repair, he mentioned the foundation wall was a bit extra tall at 8' and the crack might be deeper than usual and that I should defer his scope of the drywall repair for a week, so the crack repair could dry and a second confirming external water test be done.  He also said the repair he did was pretty solid, so it was sort of contradictory talk.  I was initially told the whole job would be completed that day.  Anyway, I said ok to the prudent sounding idea of retesting and waiting for a third appointment for the drywall repair.  I was to await a followup appointment call.  After another 2 weeks wait, I finally initiated and arranged that appointment after some confusion about who was to contact whom.  My HOA contact was admittedly also involved in the followup confusion.  I mentioned to USW the plan that the drywall repair guy was also supposed to be doing another confirming water hose test, but USW didn't know anything about that and hemmed and hawed about not being able to do that with this drywall guy blah blah, and I said forget it, just do the drywall repair.  We had coincidentally already had rain in between and I inspected myself that there was no seepage, so I was comfortable going ahead.  The whole job could have been done in one day as it turns out 2 weeks earlier and coincidentally right at the start of a three day 4th of July weekend.  Overall, despite the described hiccups, I was still quite happy with the job USW did, but did knock back an otherwise 5 star rating to 4 stars.

    After pictures of their horrible work

    They were hired to raise the concrete in our driveway and the walkway. They destroyed our property with huge gaps in the sidewalk and uneven driveway . They have large chips in the driveway where they cracked the cement and tried to hide it. There are separations in the walkway and driveway and everything is uneven. They gave us a refund which they wouldn't have done if they did the job properly. We had the adjuster out here who had admitted that they did a horrible job. We have before and after pictures of the piss poor work that they did. They come up with excuse after excuse saying that it was like that before they started. But we clearly have before and after pictures and they are liars. Now it's gonna cost us $10,000 to repair the damage in the driveway and the walkway. And in the meantime when it rains we have a chance of water seepage into our home . I honestly would not recommend them. They don't know what they're doing. And before you know it, the damage is done and it's irreversible. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

During the final walk through I requested minor modifications to the downspouts, which Yan gladly did for me. My new gutters and downspouts looked great! I got to see my new gutters in action later that evening when we were hit by a severe thunderstorm. The gutters did their job flawlessly. I am very happy with the final product. I would recommend Ultimate Gutter for your next gutters project. Thank you!

He was responsive to my concerns re my previous gutters (mismatched colors, undersized downspouts, clogging, leaking, and continual upkeep). The owner saw that I needed a solution to an area where there was only one downspout for two levels of my roof, and added another downspout (one for upper; one for lower) and routed one downspout in another direction, per my request not to flood out my lower lying neighbor as previous). He was responsive to helping me attach loose pieces of vinyl on my siding and he had his crew even caulking and painting some trim for no extra charge to make sure my house is waterproof. When they came out to install everything, there were 8 men in the crew and the owner, and they were in and out, in 3 hours, with zero mess left behind. They even took a magnetic roller over my yard to make sure no loose nails were left. His crew made sure everything I wanted had been completed before leaving. They even did extras that I had never seen before like adding aluminium guards in particular areas like around the chimney to make sure the water is directed off the house. All in all, I'm very impressed! They definitely go above and beyond and there was no bill, until every last thing was done, and the owner returned and reinspected the job. When I gave the owner the payment, he went over each part of the gutter system to explain how it works and put in writing a workmanship guarantee of one year, and 20 years for parts. He told me to call if I wanted anything changed, since I had made a change to his original plan in one area. He was very flexible about telling me, if I wanted it to his original specs, just call and they'd change it. I'm excited about how beautiful my new functional gutters look on my home!! I'm continually admiring how pretty my house looks now. I can't wait until it rains!!

Derrick's attention to detail and pride in his work translated to a solution that addressed all of my goals and helped me understand mistakes made by previous contractors.

They worked like machines; measuring and communicating like a good team should. Luke is clearly a highly skilled carpenter. I had an idea for angled steps and even though it's a bit complicated he took on the project and built some really cool stairs that make my deck unique. Their attention to detail really showed and they kept me informed of their progress through an app with daily updates in what was complete. Communication was top notch and thats important to me. Pulse wasn't the cheapest company, but the value was great. You get what you pay for and Im glad that I finally have a beautiful deck to enjoy. I only wish the rest of my house was as nice as it puts the rest of it to shame. If you're looking for a job done right call Pulse.

Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean.
