I have used Drift's services for three major projects now: waterproofing our basement, remodeling…read moreour basement bathroom, and demolishing and completely remodeling our upstairs bathroom. Every time, I have been blown away by the quality work and customer service Drift provided. Pat took the time to meet with me personally and carefully inspect the space, soliciting feedback and input from me to make sure they helped us get the result we envisioned. The estimates he gave us were detailed and transparent, with the pricing of each service clearly explained, and I felt like a true collaborator in the process. He made it clear that Drift's goal was to get us to where we wanted to be while providing expert guidance and lasting work, but that we had control over many parts of the process and the final say in multiple ways. When he made a recommendation, I never felt like the goal was to nickel-and-dime me or upcharge/upsell the project: I always felt like his suggestions were coming from a place of actual experience and expertise, but that my wants and needs were still being considered as part of that recommendation, and that functionality and practicality were just as important as quality. The customer service has been phenomenal, as well, and the guys he employs are skilled, diligent, respectful, and considerate to the homeowner's needs. Each of these projects have been a huge undertaking lasting several weeks at a time; however, Pat was flexible and accommodating, working with us to land on a project schedule that worked for both us as the customer and for them as the business. The consideration they showed us is above and beyond what I've experienced with other companies, and when they say they're committed to doing things right the first time, they actually mean it. I have already recommended them to several friends and neighbors, and I intend on using their services again in the future.

On the day he was supposed to come for estimate, he messaged me maybe 30 minutes before saying he…read morewould be maybe an hour late. I asked him if he could replace a corner brick for my ground patio, and touch up grouting around the bricks. I know nothing of concrete and bricks, that's why I needed someone. He said he was going to come Monday 09/23. He got the work done, and I tipped him roughly 13% on top of the estimate he game me. Two days later the one corner brick he replaced was good, but 3 nearby bricks cracked in half. That one stretch of grouting I wanted touched up was fixed, but new cracks formed as a result of the work completed. I messaged him 09/25 saying roughly more damage has been done than his work was supposed to fix. He asked if he could come Saturday 09/28. I said sure. It was beautiful day I would have preferred to goto the beach or something. I waited all day and afternoon and sent him messages. I didn't get a message until that evening that he wasn't going to come. Maybe he went to the beach for me! He asked if he could come Monday 09/30. I said sure, just park and do what you need. He never came just asked me what the weather was. So I took a screenshot of the weather for the next 10 days and sent to him 09/30 in the evening, then asked him on 10/03 when he would like to come. Today is 10/05 and I haven't received a message. Today is also a beautiful day, maybe he went to the beach for me!

Phenomenal! Value…read moreDry was a referral from another small local company whom I implicitly trust. Markus, their VP, came out to give us a proposal and quote. We then got proposals from two other local companies. Though Value Dry was not the lowest quote, we felt by far the most comfortable using them. And we are very glad we did. Our entire basement, which is entirely below grade, has (had!) water seepage due to hydrostatic pressure (water is forced into the house from underground), especially this last year with all of the rain we've had. And we have a huge basement. Markus proposed a new french drain around the entire interior perimeter of our basement, all of the exterior walls: 210 linear feet in total (we have a big basement). He explained in-depth what they proposed to do and why and how. They also added a second sump pump for us. And a battery back-up pump. They sent a crew of just three guys. Roger was the foreman, and you just have to love that guy. Great personality and he calmly and politely answered every question I had (I'm a detail freak). They were fantastic. They kept everything as clean as possible (not completely, but you can only do so much for concrete dust from jackhammers). Their work was very detail-oriented. It was cool seeing the destruction followed by the construction, laying down the new PVC underground drainage pipes, the new concrete on top of it, etc. Roger and I had discussions throughout the week about how best to do several things, like where and how to place the clean-outs (we have two) for the pipes. Bottom line: Look no further. They are honest. Not too expensive. And they deliver exactly what they say they will. Also, just a few weeks after completing our basement they did a smaller job for my in-laws, also local. They were just as happy with their work and with both Markus and Roger and his crew as we were. So this is really two 5 star reviews in one!

I've (regularly) seen waterproofers try and "sell" $13,000 "solutions" to my Clients, for a problem that could be fixed with landscaping and gutters. Or I see companies start out great, but, then get so large that they have estimators (clearly on commission) who are kind of running a muck. Or even worse... the company was great, but, grew so large that they became a salable company. Then, once the company is sold/in new hands... good luck with that warranty! Craig and his team are fantastic to work with. I used them in my own home. All About Waterproofing didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. In fact, he found a great way to reduce my cost and offer me a better solution. His construction team lead was well spoken & easy to work with. Everyone on the job from start to finish was respectful & efficient. They gave me a truly transferable warranty. They did a great job, at a very fair price & were in and out within 48 hours. Hands down the best waterproofer I've ever worked with. Hopefully I won't have to use another waterproofer in one of my own homes. But, if I do, I know I'll be calling All About Waterproofing. In my work as a Realtor though, I'll be recommending All About Waterproofing often and breathing a sigh of relief when I see their name attached to a waterproofing job on a home for sale! PS-I got AAW's info from another friend that is in waterproofing. That's right, his competition recommended him for the job!

They did put plastic up thinking the cement dust wouldn't come upstairs. When I went down there was a man and woman to clean the area. They broke my new dehumidifier and they did replace it. I had a beautiful flower arrangement and when I went to get it, it actually had cement on it. It was ruined. Craig said it was my responsibility to cover it so it didn't get wet. The cement dust was a everywhere. I mopped the floor twice but I still can feel the grit. All my totes had a thick cement dust on them. Things like fans, lamps anything standing alone is covered in dust. When I changed the furnace filter monthly it is still loaded with cement dust. Recently I went down to get my tote with summer shorts and it is gone. I had linens such as shower curtain and towels etc. in big clear plastic bags. The summer bag is gone. I did email the owner Craig but got no response about the missing property. I won't know what else was missing until I go down to find something. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
