Report
Lets start by stating that we were extremely impressed with the entire job completed by DiFranco Contractors at our home! This is our first home, and when we discovered that our basement wall was bowing in, we were very apprehensive in selecting a company to handle the repair work. John and his crew went above and beyond throughout the entire process! John was very communicative which helped set us as at ease, and the way he and his crew paid attention to the minor details helped us feel confident in the work they were completing.
When they left, you couldn't even tell that they were here; if anything, the side of our house where the work was done looks better than it had before their arrival. We still arent sure how we got so lucky in selecting DiFranco Contractors for the job! We would highly recommend them to anyone, and we will be using them again in the future.

DiFranco Contractors, Inc. completed various improvements to our house in Richmond Heights. All work was of high quality, cost-effective, professional and done in a timely manner. The jobs completed were replacing the driveway and sidewalk, adding a new concrete patio and waterproofing the entire house. All of this work has greatly increased our house's value, which was apparent when the house was sold. I highly recommend DiFranco Contractors, Inc. and their outstanding work.
