If I could do a negative star I would there is no way he is professional or clean his crew left behind all of the dirt mixed in with the brick and mortar from my foundation replacement. Before I bought the house u could stand in the basement with a large area to do so in and I told him that I needed the basement as a storage as I have no garage he assured me it would still have the same space as before he started. When he was done there was so much dirt in there you could maybe stand on ur knees. When I reached out to him about this he told me that the $45,800 he was paid was too cheap of a job to remove the dirt that was dug up! Not to mention my floor squeeks all over and is wavy in certain places and before he started it was level and no squeaks. Also there was a 4'x2' alcove that comes out on the side of my house and this small area is the only spot under the house that he did not replace the foundation under, instead he placed wood blocks on top of bricks and left the side open to the elements, needless to say that portion of my house is sinking and pulling away from the structure. When I call him about this he said he finished the job and there was nothing he could do. I would not recommend him to anybody, I warn you he is not professional and he will mess your house up. Very dissatisfied with his work.
