Hi-

We are in need of a good contractor to work on our house in Ballard. Basically we have some serious water issues because we live on a big hill. We have done all of the standard fixes- integrated sump pump, french drain system etc etc and now it is time to bite the bullet and do the 'dig out and fix' approach. We are looking for a contractor who has experience in working with foundations, has excellent references and is of course, honest, trusworthy, reliable, reasonably priced and licensed, bonded etc etc etc. Anyone know anyone who is a real gem?

Thanks!

    Sarah - I have requested the referral from one of the agents in my office. He had substantial amount of damage after the rains this winter and used someone that he liked. When I hear back, I shall email you with the info. In the meantime, you can keep my email address handy in case you need to reach me: ritaharris@cbba.com Smiles, Rita

    Hi Sarah,

    I can't vouch for this contractor's work as I have never had the need for such services but I can certainly vouch for this contractor's integrity. Abby and Roger Brockway were clients of mine many years ago and I have stayed in touch with them over the years...wonderful people and I can only assume they bring their great values and personalities to their business. Check them out at http://www.servicemagic.com/rated.HeSawHerPaint.6639011.html and if you do hire them, pls tell them I said "hi". :)

    Let me know if you want to talk about a flooring solution for your water-susceptible areas. We just installed a new floor in our basement in Magnolia--(Seattle)--especially because of water worries--and I'd be happy to have you come by and take a peek if that's interesting to you.

This forum is unmoderated, but please keep discussion courteous and not too far off topic.
