What a pleasure! I never thought that I would be able to say that about an end-to-end waterproofing of my 125 year old downtown Toronto house, including excavation to the footings, parging, membrane, weeper, and sump pump installation. I could not be happier.
I am very picky. I work in an exacting, legally-regulated field and have very high standards for quality of work and for the people I deal with; It is unusual for me to find a contractor whose work I can be happy with.
When Dominic first came to the house to quote on the job, he was helpful and completely open and informative. It was clear that he knew his trade very well. He provided a reasonable quote. He was also a pleasure to deal with as a person.
The job, which was very large, began and then was completed exactly when Dominic said it would be. From start to finish, even when the whole one hundred or so feet of the house perimiter was excavated, Dominic and his crew demonstrated complete mastery of their trade, and were very careful and gentle in their work. My family and I were completely at ease and comfortable at every step of the way. The job site was properly secured at the end of each day. Dominic and his crew were always conscientious, helpful, reasonable and informative.
In a sea of mostly mediocre to occasionally competent contractors, Dominic is the rare superlative old-school gentleman who quotes a fair price, brings a first-class crew at the agreed time and date, then completes perfect work on schedule.
Aquatech provides a 25 year guarantee for his work, that is transferable to the next owner of the house. Dominic even prepared a sump pump rebate form for me to submit.
There were no surprises, no excuses. The basement is now completely dry and we could not be happier, and the price was right. As for the experience, it was completely pleasant, without a moment of anxiety.
Needless to say, I happily recommend Aquatech and if I ever need waterproofing in a future house, I will call Dominic.
