He said that is the cause of the snow melt getting into the basement and recommended landscaping vice foundation work. This would be a huge saving for me as the foundation work would be tens of thousands of dollars. I greatly appreciate Tony's professionalism and honesty and highly recommend him and his company T K Mason for similar stoneworks at your residence.

There is nothing worse than looking at your chimney and seeing pieces of brick falling out. This…read morewas happening with our chimney and each year, the problem got worse. It was only a matter of time before it would crumble completely. Time to get it repaired. Unfortunately it was too far gone for a repair so a complete tear-down and rebuild was necessary. I received a few bids but I leaned towards Tony because of his positive reviews on several review sites. That and the fact that his bid was very competitive. Also, TK Mason did not ask for a percentage of the payment to accompany the signed contract. Some companies require a payment up front before the work begins and the remainder of the payment due at the end of the job. This was the deciding factor for me. There were a few delays, thanks to our rainy Spring weather but once a clear day was forecast, Tony's guys showed up and started work. They worked on my chimney all day, ripping out the old one and building a complete new structure. Their attention to detail was impressive and their brickwork expertise definitely showed on the finished product. They cleaned up nicely and left me with a chimney that will most likely outlast the rest of the house. I've posted a photo of the chimney taken while our roof was being replaced.

I would like to share how extremely pleased I am with the work completed by The Mudjackers Basement…read moreSolutions on my condo's foundation. From Cameron's initial assessment through the completion of the project, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Bob and his crew were consistently quiet, courteous, and respectful of my home and property. At the end of each day, Bob took time to explain what had been accomplished, show me around, and outline the plan for the following day. He was patient and open in answering my questions, which greatly eased my anxiety given the scope of the foundation work. While the long-term results will ultimately be confirmed over time and during future rainfall, I am very confident in the quality of the work performed. The crew's attention to detail was exceptional -- they even washed dirt from the roadway in front of my home (in February) and cleaned my floor by hand before leaving. I highly recommend The Mudjackers Basement Solutions for any foundation or mudjacking needs. They are professional, skilled, and a pleasure to work with.

One of the best was from Mudjackers but as important was the unsolicited recommendation of the engineer who inspected and wrote up the plans (and secured permits) for our house. It all couldn't have gone any better. These guys were timely, helpful, professional, knowledgeable, etc. From the actual digging and piering that was done to the follow up (the following spring) with adding top soil and grass seed. Easy to deal with, helpful at every turn, etc. If you have to spend $20K-$40K on this painful and otherwise undesired house fix, you want it to be as friendly and professionally done as these guys do their thing. I hope you don't have your foundation repaired and jacked up, but if you do -- these guys are a solid five star choice.

Mid last year, purchased a house where the prior homeowner (who wasn't living in it at the time)…read morewas required to get the foundation fixed and remediation for moisture. Accurate Basement Repair is who they chose - lower five figures cost (it was in fairly bad shape before the work, it's obvious). Can't say it was the prior homeowner, because technically I paid it (since I bought the house and they billed it through closing). I wasn't there either before or during the repair; everything had already been done by the time of closing. That's fine - I understood. Nothing was a red flag in inspection. But here's what I observed, having done nothing but take possession of the home. - The drain tiles seem to be fine. They (ABR) didn't do anything cosmetic to make it look presentable afterwards; just concrete (which is porous). - As another reviewer mentioned, they left the old nonfunctional sump pump laying right next to the new one. Like they just didn't bother to clean up despite charging so much money. - They cheaped out on the sump pump controller; didn't bother to give them the battery backup-equipped unit (yes, we know..."we offered, customer said no to the extra charge, doot doot doot!"...again, for so much money, throw it in. You're talking a few hundred bucks at best). The power tends to go out frequently here, so this was a huge issue when the rains hit. - Sump outlet used to go to the back yard, they redirected it to the front and just laid it out on the front grass. Now it's noisy thoughout the house as well as curb-unappealing. - Part of basement repair should also be sealing. They concrete sealed most of the well opening tops but blatantly missed two of them - when I say "blatant", I'm talking, you can literally put your hand out from the basement to the outside. Which meant that humidity was out of control. Which led to... - An excessive number of dead bugs found, which was odd given there was recent basement repair; since sealing should be part of it. Turns out they were attracted by the excessive moisture from... - The dehumidifier, when we did the initial walkthrough before agreement, was an older unit that was running nonstop. Thought it odd but figured it was related to the recent work. During the final walkthrough, the older dehumidifier had been replaced with a slightly newer - but same model - unit. It wasn't running. Turns out the tank was full; and who knows how long it was sitting there full. After closing, I noticed that tank would just keep filling because the humidity was out of control. Replaced it with a Govee and tapped out a hose to the drain (not sure why ABR couldn't/wouldn't do that); that mitigated it, but it still ran nonstop. That's when I discovered the two openings they clearly missed; after adding some insulation, problem was much more under control. Still gets a bit moist but nowhere near what it was doing (over 80 RH which can lead to mold and wood damage). So what was done well? The steel I-beams bracing the cracked wall seem to be doing their job.

Said my outside drain line could be broken but also said this would be rare. Then said it was my waterjet backup pump after conferring with his boss Zach. I turned it off and the issue did not resolve itself. Then decided it was a broken drain pipe but also admitted the pipe could be frozen causing the issue. He said he would recommend replacing the pipe and would send me an estimate. I asked for a camera to be put down the pipe to verify and Jimmy said he would set it up. Then it was crickets from them. I called their answering service and still nothing. This company clearly has no idea how to fix basement issues and wants you to throw money away and what "might" be the issue without first verifying. I do not trust them.

A friend, who had a high-end house, had his windows and patio door replaced by HomeSealed with Okna products, a brand I had never heard of. I was so impressed with the quality and looks of his windows and patio door, I called HomeSealed and arranged for replacements. I love the windows. It's 0 degrees F right now, and I can run my hand around the windows, and not a draft anywhere. Same with the patio door. The windows are easy cleaning, they lock securely, and the install job was great, with little damage to exiting trim. Great warranty too and an easy online service portal if something is not right. I had rental units and used a discount window company for replacements, and those windows failed frequently. You get what you pay for, and this is an investment that will last many years and pay for itself in fuel savings. If you have the funds for Pella or Anderson's best, you ought to check out Okna. If you're thinking about windows from a big-box store, good luck if there's an install problem, or parts/ warranty service are needed.

EDIT: laminated was requested as a cost compare option, not a requirement. Even if laminated were a requirement, Home Depot's was still cheaper by over $3k. Fact is - as we said - HomeSealed is just priced higher because they don't use every manufacturer, they only use the ones they use, which tend to lean the higher cost. That's what we said: they might be fine at their job and you might want the best of whatever, maybe they're fine. BUT...if you're like 95% of homeowners who feel that significant pricing differences for basic things like colors is illogical, HomeSealed isn't for you.
