We recently had Mr. Patrick Donnelly from DESKA come out to assess some issues around our home (random cracks, slight buckling in the flooring, and chimney) and I can honestly say the experience exceeded every expectation.
He called me to give me a heads up that he was on his way at our appointment time.
From the moment he arrived, he was professional, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. Instead of jumping straight to worst-case scenarios, he took the time to carefully inspect everything, exp
Pat is awesome! He came to look at our foundation, and explained in detail why we were seeing what we were seeing, and that it didn't require any work right now.
I asked Deska to evaluate some cracks in the foundation of my 50-year-old home to determine if they were structural or cosmetic.
Patrick arrived punctually, after phoning ahead to let me know he was on his way.
He carefully looked and measured inside and outside, and clearly and thoroughly shared with me what he was seeing.
Many foundation companies would have tried to sell me a package of fixes (whether they were needed or not).
To their great credit, Deska told me everything was cosmetic a
Honest company who provided an expert opinion whether a soft floor on the transition between a newer addition and the original house was structurally related or just cosmetic. After spending time laser measuring the floors and reviewing photos of the addition foundation put in 16 years ago their representative assessed the addition was very well constructed and the flooring give was very localized and not a big issue. He pointed out this past cold winter has meant many households have run furn
I called DESKA when I had some concerns about water intrusion from a foundation planter, as well as some possible settlement that had cropped up recently.
Making an appointment was easy, and Mr. Deska arrived on time. He walked the entire property with me and truly listened to my concerns. Not only was his inspection thorough, he gave me some valuable information on what to look for in the future, the items I don't need to worry about, and some options on how to address the planter.
As a woman,
I highly recommend DESKA. Pat communicated great for the appointment, both confirming the time the day before and day of. He was right on time at the start of the appointment window, which I really appreciated. As for work, I did not have any done because Pat did not advise having anything done. I was very impressed with his willingness to assess and address my concerns. He never tried to upsell me or talk me into work. He gave me his professional assessment of my issues and gave comparisons to
I really appreciated Mr. Donnelly from the Deska team for the initial inspection and estimate. He provided clear guidance, helpful recommendations on the next steps to improve the situation, and took the time to explain the current condition and what should be prioritized. I’d definitely continue working with the Deska team for the next steps.
Update: Had some additional questions about an old french drain system and they sent out Pat D. to have a look at it with me. I thought it may have needed some service, and it does, but Pat explained how I can DIY the service when the spring comes. Thanks!
I had some concerning signs of settling and wanted a professional opinion. The first first foundation specialist I called gave me a ridiculous quote and was very pushy. Upon calling DESKA, I was put on the line with a real human and had an ap
