    Peter is a busy and there is a reason for it. He and his crew do great work. They take their time to listen and understand the requirementÂ’s take pictures and document there progress with video/pictures. Peter came out and inspected the house and the outside parameter where the water was coming in. He explained in great detail his recommendation's and method to fix it. He took his time so I would understand his proposal and the amount of time it would take. Due to his schedule we happened to find a time that would fit for both us and the team went full board ahead. He excavated 30 feet of facade, cleaned the surface of the below grade foundation, waterproofed, sealed and installed drain mat. Peter replaced two of my gutters with custom copper my downspouts with scuppers made to fit the house (looks beautiful). Inside the basement in the same area the team sanded and polished the inter wall to remove all the buildup of 80+ of brick and concert leaching. Come the first rain we were ok but then we had a very large, multi day storm system come in and the leak appeared again. I called Peter and he came out after the storm and dug up the area in question. He found the area that was not properly prepared. He took the time to explain what was done, what should have been done and how he was going to correct it. There was not a doubt in my mind that he would not resolve the problem.. Since then we have had more rain and its holding up wonderfully.

    Peter was very responsive and flexible to the changing requirements of the job. The team got the job done in a reasonable amount of time and did a good job of cleaning up the site afterwards.

    He was about a 1/3 of the price of the other 2 companies and did an excellent job and came out a week after I contacted him. I would use him again to do brick work and also recommend him to my friends

    Peter was great to work with. Lime Builders did the job in a timely fashion and cleaned up like they were never there.

    Living in a vintage graystone, there is always work to be done. After working with five contractors in the past 10 years, Peter and team provided a great experience. Lime Builders arrived when they said they would, completed the project on-time, and take pride in their work. I would highly recommend Lime Builders.

    Lime Builders honestly blew the other 2 quotes I had out of the water. They came in right in the middle in terms of price, but in terms of quality and expertise, Lime Builders was far and away superior. Lime Builders did a detailed analysis of the project and the requirements and Lime Builders performed the job in a very quality manner. The other two quotes didn't take the slope of the terrain into account and we would have had long term issues had I chosen them to do the job. We are completely satisfied with Lime Builders and would 110% choose them for the next project. Timely, professional, and quality. Competition wasn't even close.

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
