I would like to preface that DBS was once a great and highly recommended contractor by our family…read moreafter our first dealings with them. They put in an egress window and a waterguard system as well as waterproofing a basement bedroom. However after the last 6 months of waiting on return calls and having to be the one facilitating the communication, i am done with them. Our basement flooded and we suspected the waterguard system might have failed in some part so after a painless experience of 2 contractors coming out to test it back in August, they found a leak and would be coming out to patch it up and put our finished closet (put in by them the fall previously) back together. 8/19 they came out to assess the 2nd time and then it wasnt until a month later they got out to actually do the patch job. Then this lead to multiple phone calls on my own accord to find out when they would be back out to put everything back together. I was told by the contractors each time they would pass along that it needs to be scheduled and multiple staff in logistics it would be scheduled only to be met with delay after delay (the contractor even texted me on 11/4 saying he wouldnt be able to make it and would work to reschedule.) jump to end of that week and no call so we scheduled for the next week 11/13 with SUPRISE!! NO ONE SHOWED UP! I called and allegedly a subcontractor needed to come out to finish the job and i would get a call back that day with more info. NOPE! Called the following week and got bounced to Serena's voicemail multiple times with no return calls until i called back 11/21 and pushed for more answers. Allegedly they needed photos for the contractor to know what materials were needed (never was told that and don't you think you could have gotten those photos when one of the other crews was out?!) I sent those photos in and now we are 4 weeks after the fact, no one is returning my calls and i'm fed up. What good is a lifetime warranty when the workers coming out to dismantle my closet only leave it in disrepair as if i havent already spent 30K with your business in the last 2 years! This has been a nightmare and as a hospice nurse i had a thought occur to me as it played out multiple times, waiting for calls back or someone to show up: i pray no one has a loved one dying on hospice and their nurse cannot make it to comfort them because they are waiting around for someone at DBS to show up and do the job they promised to do!

They were extremely respectful of the yard/gardens; in fact, while they were working withing six inches of a hosta plant, there was absolutely no damage to the plant or its neighbors. The workers also left the yard in perfect condition. I highly recommend Trinity Masonry & Concrete.

We have a 70-year old brick home in Phoenix that was in need of tuck pointing. We ran into JM at…read morethe Home Show and asked them to follow up to evaluate two projects. Talking with them we found out that they winter in Phoenix so that their crews can keep working. From estimating, to back office support, to oversight, and the crew itself we were more than pleased with their performance. Their work was far superior to a previous attempt done to point the house. They were punctual, courteous and did exactly what was laid out in the project scope. Next fall we have another project that we will ask them to bid and provided it fits our budget we look forward to another project with JM. If you are looking for the low cost solution, call someone else and live with the result, if you are looking for a well done product you will be pleased with JM.
