I had a dry-fit retaining wall that was sagging alarmingly, so I contacted DiMarco. Jim asked for…read morephotos, he couldn't make an accurate appraisal so he stopped by within a day or two. He gave me a plan on what he would do, and I could tell he knew his stuff by virtue of remedying causal factors for the leaning, including improper drainage. I also had him look at a 1957 original kitchen exhaust blower that was now a dead end and fall hazard, wanting it taken down -- which I couldn't do safely on my own -- and a frustrating area where water would come into my office when it rained hard with a lot of wind. Jim said all the right things, and I was very happy with his quote. He communicated well via email about when he could come. He and his crew showed up and did a fantastic job. They bricked in the gap where the exhaust came out, properly insulating and sealing as they did so, and painstakingly addressed the likely factors in the water intrusion. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I wish I had had him work on my chimney a couple of years ago instead of a certain other company who overcharged me and reneged on a necessary service they had promised but carefully not included in the contract. He would have done a better job and charged me less.

SLOPPY CRAFTSMANSHIP, UNPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION, AND UNRELIABLE…read more My husband and I were initially excited to find this local family business that claimed to be able to handle a wide array of jobs around the house. They are a husband-wife team. Ronney does the handyman work and Angela handles the admin side of things. I contacted them in early 10/2023 to move a light fixture, hang a barn door, and build two hatch doors to our basement crawl space. Initially Angela was very responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. The estimate she provided was fair. She asked for deposit of about half up front to purchase materials and we agreed that we would pay for the work in increments as it was completed. Angela said her husband could start work on the light within the next day, which he did. My mistake was in not confirming when the remaining items would be done. After this first visit, I received an email on a Friday morning with an invoice for a portion of the work that had just been completed. I noticed it while I was busy out driving my kids around and flagged it to pay over the weekend. By 5p that evening, I was receiving texts demanding that I "please advise" about an unpaid invoice. Though I found this pushiness odd and off putting, we had no problem paying for work that had been completed, and so I stopped what I was doing on Friday night and paid online. After this, I did not hear back for several weeks. I messaged to check in and let Angela know my availability. She responded with a strange, abrasive wall of text about how backed up they were, how she was facing serious health problems, how she had been clear with me that they were 6-8 weeks out (she had not), and how there were no refunds (I had not asked for one at this point). I let her know that it would have been helpful to know the timeline upfront, but as the repairs were not emergency items, we agreed her husband would come out 11/20 or 11/21 to finish (about 6 weeks after paid deposit). Communication after this went as follows: Multiple times, Angela scheduled for Ronney to come and he did not show. She gave excuses for this, citing medical issues ranging from neurosurgery to mold toxicity to blocked arteries. I received bizarre texts and emails from her demanding immediate responses at unprofessional hours - midnight, or waking me up at 7a on a Saturday morning. Throughout, the only apologies about missed appointments we received were passive aggressive comments insinuating that we were being impatient and uncompassionate when we asked when the items would be completed, for example, "I'm sorry my deathly health situation has caused you problems." When we asked if it was best for us to find someone else to complete the repairs due to their health issues, Angela was adamant that they do not give refunds. In general, we felt stuck using a business that created way more drama and chaos than we signed on for. We understand that unforeseen circumstances sometimes interfere with a business's ability to deliver what they promise. However, those circumstances become suspect when they repeatedly interfere with promised appointments. This is exacerbated when accompanied by unprofessional communication. The icing on top was when Ronney finally showed up to complete the work. It was sloppy, unfinished, and unprofessional (see attached pictures). We are now in the position of having to hire someone to clean up the mess in our basement. We would not use this business again and cannot recommend them to others.
