Review: Basement Waterproofing Service
4 years ago

The rear foundation of my townhouse excavated and waterproofed. They corrected the grading in the brick patio at the back of the house and the surface drainage at the rear of the patio. A lager downspout was installed to improve water flow.

In life, generally one thing leads to another . . . and so begins this story. It all started with mold which led to finding a contractor to fix the water entry before the inside work could be done. Several estimates later, enter Dan of Archer Contractors. Impressed from the start, I felt he summed up my needs quickly and accurately. We signed the contract, waited for good weather and then the digging began. Dan is definitely not afraid of hard work or getting dirty. He was present for most of the time, providing professional oversight of the hand dug excavation, nine feet down. According the crew, it was a particularly difficult job as the dirt was compacted and dry. From my perspective, I was tired even thinking about it. Dan is easy to work with, flexible and amenable to change. He politely listened to my 'non-professional' suggestion, acknowledged that it was a good idea and gently suggested another option - which obviously was better than my idea. We went through 3 different revisions - gravel, bricks and cement slab - to come up with the best choice. Note: If your job includes installation of membrane (black goop), it is quite stinky. I suggest you close up your house before it is installed. For those of you considering a job like this, I'd like to share a bit about the emotional impact of seeing all the dirt and hard work that went into this project. Dan tried to prepare me by saying that I would have a big pile of dirt in my backyard. Oh yeah, I thought, it would be big. The actual dirt pile (aka 'mountain of dirt') was far more shocking than I expected. I was stunned to see the real life massive pile of dirt and despite their apparent fatigue, the willingness of the men to keep digging until the excavation was done. The ground was so hard in some places that they had to use a jack hammer. Results . . . I have a beautiful back yard now with water flowing in the right direction. The best part is that my basement is watertight. Would I use Archer Contractors again? Most definitely, but it's probably not likely as Dan and his crew did a great job of correcting my water issues. Although they delivered what was promised and I paid for the work, I still feel grateful to all those individuals who made it happen. Thanks Archer Contractors! It was a pleasure working with you. Just a final note, Dan is sometimes a 'bit busy' with juggling many calls, texts, site visits and monitoring the weather. If you find yourself wondering when he's going to get to your job (like me), do be patient. He's worth the wait. The actual work went quickly. Waiting for the proper day/weather was what took time. He also has a great sense of humor which is useful when you are stressed, as in my case, about the mess and the big smelly hole in your backyard. Final moisture meter testing indicates that the moisture issue in my basement is resolved. Thanks Dan!

We had Archer come out several months ago to fix the drainage/standing water issues in the yard.

Dan came by, listened to what we wanted, walked the yard with us, and came up with a plan. I was pleased that we were able to discuss exactly what we wanted and options for getting it done. The work was done ahead of schedule, and the crew did a great job. They even managed to save a tree that we thought was going to have to be cut down. Even with several extended rainy days, where the storm drains are filled to overflowing, our yard has no standing water at all. We used to get puddles with even the lightest storm. I am very pleased with the service and the quality of the work. I will definitely use these guys again if the need ever arises.

Review: Basement Waterproofing Service

Archer contractors regraded the land outside of our home and installed drainspouts to prevent basement flooding.

After some serious flooding in our basement, we sought out some companies to fix the problem. We selected Archer Contractors, and we could not be more pleased with our decision. We were presented with a significantly less costly solution than a competing firm. The workers at Archer were extremely professional, efficient and neat. In addition, the management was friendly, accessible, and very attuned to our needs and desires. We have been waiting for a significant rainstorm before writing our review. Gladly, we report that our basement is now completely dry. We give Archer Contractors our unreserved endorsement.

Review: Excavating Service
5 years ago

Drainage piping including french drains to handle natural springs on our property which were saturating driveway, the grass areas, killing plantings, etc. It was just an overall headache.

Dan and I had met about a year ago when the spring/water problem began and he offered a lot of good advice. I declined on the work with the hope that it might go away. Not likely. It got worse over this past winter and then through the summer. I got Dan back on the phone and he came out within a few days. As suspected, the problem was worse now but he thoroughly scoped it out, gave me a proposal which was now almost twice the original price but for good reason. Part of the problem was that we had addressed the water issue about 7 years ago and that held for a time, but the contractor didn't use the proper materials and didn't do this type of work as his full time job. Dan explained everything clearly to us, gave us a time frame for when the work would start (within 3 weeks), told us he would completely warranty his work for 2 years. He was out to start the work in about 2 weeks with a crew of 4. Ramone, his main on-site guy was very knowledgeable too. After the work got going, Dan called me to explain that after opening up the existing drainage system he wanted to modify his original plan which would in turn avoid cutting across my asphalt driveway. Sounded great to me. They were in and out in 3 days and then Dan came back 2 days following to walk through the finished project, explain all the work that was done and of course to pick up a check. The crew left everything in very good shape considering the amount of digging they did and the amount of earth they had to move around. We have no water issue now that I can detect and Dan seemed very confident that the issue "was solved" once and for all. I appreciated his confidence because this is way outside of my area of expertise. I can only judge based on the results. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the work, their professionalism and without a doubt we would use Archer again.... but I hope I don't have to. Thanks Dan, Ramone and all of your crew for a job well done! Niel and Kathy Jefferson

Review: Basement Waterproofing Service

We only used this contractor to get an estimate on waterproofing. [Approx cost: $4500.00]

Very disappointing and frustrating experience. The contractor did not allow us to fully explain the problem we were having and talked at us for most of the visit. He walked around the house, never measured anything to determine how much material would be needed, and then quoted us an exorbitant amount. We have since hired another Angie's List contractor for this work for less than half the cost and even more work than what Archer was telling us we needed for the problem.

Service Provider Response
Thank you for the feedback. We are always striving to improve our services. This free consultation lasted about 20 minutes and was cordial and friendly. The meeting resulted in two options and quotes for [member name removed]. The issue was obvious to us, so it might have seemed that we were quick at developing a solution; however, it is our 30 years of experience in solving problems with a wide range of complexity that offers property owners a considerable advantage using our services. We extend our best wishes for a successful project with the chosen contractor.

Review: Egress Window Service
5 years ago

We contacted Archer Contractors to put in an egress window.

He came out and looked at what we wanted and he said he would get back to us. It was months and months and months before he contacted us to see what we wanted to do about the job so we ended up using someone else. I was disappointed that he didn't find the time to follow up. He never gave us an estimate. I didn't really like anything about the experience. He seemed very quick and in a hurry but he answered our questions and seemed very knowledgeable. He rushed through everything. He was on time when he first came out.

Installed underground drainage systems, grading around all foundation areas, with removal of concrete where sloping toward house, sealed, waterproofed, and repaired foundation, replaced guttering, and seeded lawn.

A Great Experience! Dan (of RPD CORP/Archer Contractors) came out to consult with me about my leaky basement and cracked walls. Dan was knowledgeable, flexible, and easy to work with. His understanding of drainage and structural problems gave me comfort in knowing that I have the right group for the project. He quickly identified the problems and provided the solution. The other 2 companies I had out just wanted to install sump pumps. I?m glad I didn?t go that route, as the problem was outside. Dan discovered an outside drainage problem and resulting structural issue. They installed a drainage system to control storm water, graded the land, and repaired my foundation. Dan?s crew came out within 1 week, on schedule, and completed my project neatly in 3 days. The crew was professional and efficient. RPD/Archer?s plan solved my problem. I was pleasantly surprised at how the property looked as though it wasn?t even touched after they finished. It?s been a year since the work was completed and the basement is 100% dry, and the walls are intact, with no more musty smells. Problem solved - I highly recommend RPD/Archer Contractor!

We had purchased this Big Deal for an inspection.

They were very professional and gave us an estimate we just decided that we did not want to go through with it at this time.
