We have had zero communication with Mariani & Richards. We get no responses to requests for phone calls, no answers to emails, no updates. We don't know what's going on! We wanted to have them give us an estimate, the man who came out for the initial estimate (don't even know his name, he gave us no business card), NEVER EVEN SENT US AN ESTIMATE, and this is from back in October or November! We'd love to hear from Mariani & Richards, if someone from there would deign to contact us!

Had a representative from the company come to our home to give us a quote. He was very professional. They never got back with us. I called their office twice, giving them plenty of time to work up a quote for us and still have never heard from them. I am aware that alot of contractors/companies don't get back with you, but I personally don't feel that is any way to do business. I'm sure this is a good business that does great work, but if you can't do the job, have time for it or whatever the reason, SAY SO. Don't leave people hanging. It takes a minute or two to make a call to say you are unable to do the work. PERIOD!

One room in my finished basement has leaked for several years during sever downpours. Mariani & Richards fixed the leak by sealing the outside of my foundation. It was not necessary to tear up the floor in my basement, and the fix worked perfectly. No more leakage.

Mariani & Richards is a #1 company, not only is it a great place to work, but the basement work is right on target, for years my basement leaked, my father and husband struggled every spring digging exterior French drains around the entire home, only to result in the sneaky water getting in under, finally, the company's top employee Chris put an interior drain inside the perimeter of my home, as I lived on a hillside and the run off was literally like a waterfall when it rained, I am pleased to say 7 years dry as a bone! You decide, fight the battle or solve it for good. I did!
