We recently fixed a sidewalk tripping hazard where the responsible party got sued and was held responsible for fixing it. We were called to the City of Boston to one of the funeral parlors in town. There is a walkway to the front door. If you have ever noticed a concrete walkway, there are lines in it. Multiple sections had sunken, creating a tripping hazard. Someone tripped, so he asked us to see what we...

We went outside, and right above where the pipe entered the home was a huge bush. We...

The during the home inspection, the inspector told the prospective buys that if the cracks are left unrepaired, the corners of the cracks will continue to crumble as cars drive over the area repeatedly. In the past, we have seen customers try to use hydraulic cement. This method does not last and...

Rich answered the phone at 7:45 PM at night and spent over 20 minutes on the phone answering all of my questions. Rich was extremely professional and informative. Rich was unbelievable helpful even late at night. This is extremely rare and refreshing in today's world. I have not had any work done as of yet but will definitely be following up with Rich in the near future.

The first thing you need to think about when buying a sump pump for the basement is the type of sump pump you need. There are basically two kinds. The first is called a pedestal sump pump which goes into the sump pump basin or the hole that you put into a hole that is put into the basement. Some of it is above the hole, therefore it can be tipped, it can be tied...
