We diligently sought five quotes for work that needed to be done to repair our foundation. One contractor came, left and never provided a quote. A second was condescending and we did not like his attitude. Of the three remaining quotes two were comparable and the third was twice the price. We went with Dave Marcotte Foundations because Dave took the time to explain the issues, was very knowledgeable and gave us a clearly written estimate with detailed breakdown of the work to be done.
We told Dave at the end of July that we wanted his services and found out he was booked until the next spring! We were nervous that the damage to our foundation would get much worse but were reluctant to go with someone else. In order to keep our business, Dave went out of his way, paid for his own engineer to come and assess the house. If the damage was too bad, we would go with another contractor, but if it could wait until spring, Dave hoped we would get him to do it. So that's what happened; we were able to wait until spring, but then, in mid November, we got a call that there had been a cancellation, so Dave and his crew showed up and were extremely efficient, tidy, professional and did the work on time and to the exact estimate provided. Plus, we had to have some additional work done (trees cut down, garage floor redone, re-bricking...) and Dave had excellent contacts and referrals to other contractors.
We are very pleased with Dave's work and would highly recommend him.
