Here is what are our clients had to say:

★★★★★

Site Prep for a Shed: This year we decided to replace our small shed. This meant tearing down the old small steel shed, down to the base on which it stood, and building out the base to accommodate the new, bigger shed. But to do this, we needed some more sonotubes, filled with cement with 4x4s put into the ground. This was not something we could do ourselves. We got in touch with Dana Kiklis of Northeast Home Repair and Excavation, who had helped us in the past. He came to our home, saw what we were trying to do, and discussed options with us. We settled on having him drill additional holes into the ground, set the sonotubes into them and fill them with cement and 4x4s. Dana arrived with all the materials, tools (including a laser level), and the drill (12 inch wide auger bit - yikes!) and did a great job getting the cement tubes installed and set up correctly. It is wonderful to have a resource like Dana Kiklis to call on for tasks that are beyond our abilities. This is especially true during a pandemic when good help is so hard to get. A big thank you, Dana Kiklis.

Ever Flooding Basement: Dana is honest and keeps his promises. He solved the water issues in my basement. That was no easy feat considering the ground that he had to work on. Very wet as it was early spring.

- Mark L.

★★★★★

Basement and furnace flooded: Dana had the experience, equipment, and connections to get a storm water management system installed in a day. This system is crucial for us as without it we get occasional flooding in our basement. Dana understood our problem and offered several suggestions for solving it, and finally installed a system to end our basement flooding problem.

- Paul F.

Spring time is here and in the North East we have lots of water runoff and drainage issues!
