Complete Waste of Money - All Three Projects Had to Be Fully Redone…read more I'm writing this review to help other homeowners avoid the significant time and money I wasted, as well as the frustration I experienced with Travers Construction. After my father passed away over three years ago, I hired them for a basement water penetration project because he had trusted and used them for years. I assumed I could trust them too. That project was the beginning of the end. It was clear that water was coming up through the foundation at the front of the property... they insisted that digging a trench about 15 feet from the house and filling it with stone was what needed to be done to fix the issue. I asked them whether this would just result in groundwater building up against the foundation as the path of least resistance, but they insisted that wasn't true -- and that is exactly what happened. At the time I didn't have experience with these types of repairs, so I trusted their recommendation. They backfilled the trench with stone right up to grade and laid the grass directly on top of the stone with no dirt or topsoil. The grass died because it had nothing to root into. After the very next rain we had more water in the basement than ever before. When the problem persisted and worsened, they washed their hands of it and left. Their so-called repair made the situation worse and was a complete waste of money. Another contractor had to remove all of their work and redo the entire project properly. After this experience I was smart enough not to use them again. Only then did I look back at the earlier projects they had done for my father and realize every single one of them was also complete trash that ultimately had to be removed and redone by another contractor. French drain project (~3 years ago, around the time of my father's passing): The quality of work was awful. No filter fabric was added to the drain and the perforated pipe wasn't even connected. The system was failing less than two years later. It will need to be completely redone in the next few years. It was a complete waste of money. Patio / backyard foundation project (~14 years ago): They were hired to eliminate water penetration at the rear foundation of the house. They backfilled with pure clay. The project failed and water intrusion through the foundation started less than 10 years later. The patio had to be removed and the entire project had to be completely redone by another contractor last year. Their work not only failed to solve the water problem -- it was a complete waste of money. In all three projects Travers Construction delivered substandard work using improper materials and techniques. Every job failed, required full removal of their installation, and had to be completely redone from scratch by a different contractor at significant additional cost. They appear to prioritize quick jobs and collecting payment over quality or lasting results, leaving homeowners to pay twice (or more) to fix the problems they created. If you are considering Travers Construction, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I trusted them when I moved to the area because my father had used them in the past -- and it cost my family substantial time, money, and repeated frustration. Learn from my experience and hire someone else.

I used them for the first…read moretime during this past snow storm and they came multiple times to carefully plow and shovel the snow in front of our cottage. It was tricky because we have a gravel driveway, but they carefully and expertly moved the snow effectively without disturbing the pebbles. The communication was great and the service rate very reasonable. This was the first time I hired a company to move snow for me, and I feel lucky to have found a good one at the very beginning. This is what their "About Us" says on their website and I feel like that was my experience with them: "Our goal isn't just to make your property look great -- it's to earn your trust with every visit."

Call several times to set up an appointment kept going into the machine when I finally got through…read morethe clerk was in such a rush she just asked me my number and gave me first availability appointment( a month out. )My window was 1 to 5 I took vacation time that day -finally at 3:30 when they weren't there yet I thought I better call )good thing -she got the service guy on the phone and he said I was there at 8 AM that's what my order said. they said. So not only was the clerk in such a rush that she didn't want to ask what my issue was and assumed it was just a start up but she wrote the wrong time on the work order and not to mention I called the day before to confirm the 1 to 5 appointment the employee erroneously gave 8 to 12 instead of 1 to 5. When the service man came he said good thing you called the office because I was on my last run and I was not going to come back here I came at 8 AM where do I go to turn on your system I said this is not for a turn on it's an issue with the valve so not only did they have the wrong time but she just assumed it was for a start upBecause she was in such a rush she didn't want to ask what it was for Not to mention my lawn would've been burnt if I was just starting it up in June. Later that day I got a bill for a System turn on. They are very quick to bill but not very quick to answer the phones to service their customers. Thinking I got charged for the wrong thing I called. Told the woman that I almost missed the appointment and this happened the last time that I called for service they came at the wrong time I have to work and I have to schedule my time off just very Rushed and unorganized. To think you have to wait a month when half your lawn would be burnt for a five minute task I think they have taking on more than they can chew. I asked to speak to the manager and again he was too busy

They were attentive and communicative throughout. The materials are top quality and solid. The installation happened on the day they said it would happen (even though there was snow on the ground). The installers that showed up were prompt and friendly and they communicated throughout installation and asked my opinion about how I wanted something done or how I preferred something look before doing certain things. That's important! I would (& will) definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for fence related work.
