ISABEL CONSTRUCTION

Isabel Construction runs a flat 5.0 out of 38 ratings on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, and the 23 written reviews behind that number keep naming the same person: Don, out at the house himself, sizing up a wet basement or a cracked foundation before anyone talks price. The company works out of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and its Better Business Bureau listing files it under waterproofing contractors. The strongest accounts are about basement and foundation problems other companies got wrong first. In a 2019 review, a homeowner said an earlier contractor had quoted an overpriced waterproofing system that would not have fixed the actual problem, while Don diagnosed it correctly and priced it fairly. Another 2019 review described a sump pump, French drain and foundation-sealing job that solved chronic water in the basement at the lowest of several quotes the homeowner had gathered. Several more reviews from 2019 and 2020 describe Don and his crew arriving on schedule, covering belongings before a messy repair, and leaving the site clean. The record isn't limited to waterproofing: a detailed 2020 review walks through an indoor fireplace stone-veneer job, followed a week later by laminate flooring installed through the whole house, and a 2021 review credits the crew with a full roof replacement finished in a few hours. The most recent review on file is from November 2023 — before that, the newest dated back to mid-2021, so the written record has a real gap in the last couple of years. The only license information here comes from BBB, which lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor number (#184220) for the company without independently verifying it. For a basement leak or a foundation crack in the Weymouth area, the reviews point to a contractor who shows up, explains the diagnosis, and does not upsell — worth confirming current licensing and recent availability directly before booking.
