“The One & Only Expert Provider to Call for Complete Honesty & Integrity
A portion of my basement has been covered by Bdry for more than the 30 years I’ve owned my home. In all that time, I’ve only had one issue - a nonfunctioning sump pump, which lasted at least 20 years until it stopped working. Under my lifetime Bdry warranty, the motor was promptly replaced at no cost.
In the last several years of more frequent, heavier rains, I’ve periodically experienced a small area of damp carpet along a wall not covered by Bdry. Concerned that I might have a bigger issue, like mold, I called Bdry, mold remediation companies, and other waterproofers for a second round of investigations. One remediator claimed I had mold throughout the basement and wanted to total it for $3,000 or clean it for $2,000… and waterproof it for $14,000. Another said I didn’t have mold, but have a moisture issue.
Then the amazing Mardy Aizen from Bdry came back with his 40 years of experience and the most honest, authentic appraisal of what’s really happening in my 1940s basement. And the answer was basically nothing(!), apart from some tuckpointing needed on a few bricks inside my gas meter door to stop the inflow of a trickle of water during heavy rain.
That’s it. It’s not mold; it’s mildew and simple wear and tear of knotty pine (dry rot). And there’s no need for tearing apart my basement to install more Bdry. This is the second time in several years Mardy has provided that opinion, when he could have easily proposed an expensive tear down and rebuild like other providers, which would have exceeded $20,000. I was fully prepared to spend the $.
Mardy is exceedingly kind and gifted at putting you at ease. He took the time to explain everything (even things unrelated to the Bdry system, like furnace filters) and to continue to build a relationship with his client (me :). He was adamant about not selling fear and was frustrated but not at all surprised to hear that other providers wanted to take advantage of the situation - something unfortunately common in this and every home service business.
Take it from a trustworthy pro like him. He said that in 40 years in the business, he’s only seen real mold in exactly TWO houses. Yes, TWO. And, as he aptly put it, EVERY basement has some invisible moisture in the walls and under the carpet. It’s a basement, it’s expected, and there’s no real reason to overact or even react in many cases. He said my finished basement home gym is literally perfect, when others were prepared to demolish it.
You may have mildew, you may have wear and tear, you may have moisture or real water coming in from the outside. Call BDry and ask for Mardy Aizen if you want an honest expert with extraordinary integrity. Today he again gave me peace of mind I can’t put a price tag on. And having a lifetime warranty not only ensures that peace of mind, but it’s great for resale. Be advised — if a contractor has to call himself honest, he probably isn’t. Let someone else tell you so.“
“I couldn't be more pleased with the job. Derek and Vince were the technicians. They were thorough and I liked they were shoe coverings whenever they entered the house. Derek was very knowledgeable and explained things very well.The guy that did the estimate and answered the phone wasn't exactly stellar in customer service. The two times I talked with him he acted like I was a bother. Normally I would not pursue anything further with a company that had that kind of representation. But my husband used Clean Air America in the past for different jobs and he didn't want me calling anyone else out. Plus the reviews are amazing. So if you happen to deal with him and get the same treatment, push past it because they do an excellent job.“

“I have Eitman Services on speed dial. Over the last few months Scott has done various small jobs putting together bed frames, patching a large hole in wall from leaking plumbing, removing, and replacing baseboards, and installing screen door in garage and the list goes on.

He is quick and efficient and always on time. His prices are fair, and he does good work. I know my way around a workshop, and I would recommend Eitman Handyman Services.
Thank you Scott for helping with checking off some of the many projects I have on my To-Do List.“
“A few months ago we decided to get some much-needed work done on our house (Roof, Fence and Patio) and as we all know, contractors' schedules are so packed they can't even come out and give you a quote! So I reached out on Facebook and other places to get at least 3 quotes, all from friends who gave their recommendations. Montenegro Restoration won the bid for many reasons, 1. Actually called back the same day and came out to review the work that needed to be completed! 2. Provided a detailed quote within days (unheard of) 3. Followed through doing the work when they said 4. The roof was completed in 1 day! The fence was a challenge because of the grade of the yard, but what an amazing job. The guys were respectful, efficient, and resolved any questions or concerns immediately. The Patio gets poured tomorrow and we are very excited, we are already going to give Montenegro other projects because we trust their work, the cost is reasonable, the work impressive and they are great to work with. Every day they were on the job they cleaned up the boards, equipment etc...construction work is never easy, but they actually made it a very pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Montenegro Restoration Home Improvement!“

“We have relied on Derek of Collins Builders & Roofers for many years for roof repairs and inspections. Derek replaced my mom's roof in 2022 and ours in 2024. Both times he was very easy to work with, fair, honest, does quality work at a reasonable price and follows through on his promises. He also helped us pick out our roof color along with new shutters and window headers. I love the new look.
Thank you Derek!!“

Their quote provided their recommendations and a couple of options, depending on our budget allowance. They completed the work quickly and cleanly. We couldn't believe how large of a crew they dedicated to our project. They cleaned up the site at the end of every day, even though the entire job was complete in just two days. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and they will be our first phone call whenever we have our next paving project.“
