    Both J & B were courteous and helpful. J did some waterproof sealing around windows and advised on possible future project. I was very impressed with the personal care B took with all my concerns. Being able to reach a real person on the phone, and receive prompt courteous service and appointment is admirable.

    Posted by PATRICIA T.on 01/18/2021

    Our 71 year old cottage-size house had a crumbled foundation and needed a lift. The salesperson came out to see our job on 9/15/20. His quote arrived promptly within 5 hours of his visit. We signed the contract and paid 20% down 9/22/20. This job was in the double digits. Big money for us. We were told who the project manager was and that he would call us within 1-3 business days. We were told that our project would begin on 10/14/20. My husband and the project manager had spoken about the job over the phone a couple of times and we prepared the area as we were told to do. Late again, the project manager called my husband and finally admitted that he was about two weeks behind and the best he could do was start the job on Saturday, 10/24/20. I appreciated his honesty but must admit, we were a little frustrated at this point. Quality Control is only as good as we, as consumers, demand. Luckily for us, we reached out to the owner of the company. Clearly there was a communication issue with management and the crew. The owner (Rick) was receptive to our concerns and he explained ways that he has made some significant changes so there is more communication with the managers and the crew. The job was done to our satisfaction and our house is level. The crew did amazing work. This is a perfect example of taking it to the top when you are not satisfied. Rick was very interested in our frustration and cared about how we were treated and we feel his managers and crew will be better for the lessons learned from this job.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where is a foundation in a house?

    +

    A house’s foundation is always located under the house itself. A foundation is the load-bearing portion of a home and is usually built below ground, though different types are built at different locations under a home. For instance, a basement foundation is built at least eight feet deep into the ground under the house to create living space below the ground level of the home. A crawl space foundation is built under a shallow trench beneath your home—typically between two and five feet deep. A slab foundation, also known as a monolithic or monoslab foundation, simply lays flat against the ground under your home. Pier and beam foundations also rest on the ground, but elevate the home using piers, typically about two feet off the ground.

    What are the types of foundations for homes?

    +
    • Basement Foundations: Also called a full basement foundation or a daylight basement, a basement foundation is one of the most popular types of foundations. One of the appeals of a basement foundation is that it offers additional living space under the home. A daylight basement typically includes windows to let natural light into the space. This type of foundation allows for homeowners to maximize the footprint of their home by offering a finished living space.
    • Concrete Slab Foundations: Also called a slab, monolithic, or monoslab foundation, this type of foundation is essentially a poured concrete slab that rests on the ground under your home. It’s typically one single piece and is relatively easy and inexpensive to build.
    • Crawlspace Foundations: This type of foundation provides just enough space under a home for a person to crawl around in to access plumbing or wiring, or store equipment such as a furnace.
    • Wood Foundations: These types of foundations are less common, though they were a popular choice in the mid 20th-Century. A wood foundation is typically made of pest and mold-resistant wood, like cedar or redwood. They are easy to install, though they aren’t as long-lasting as concrete foundations. Wood foundations are not ideal for climates that see a lot of rain and snow, as they must be built on very dry soil.
    • Pier and Beam Foundations: These foundations, which are common in coastal areas, use piers and beams to lift a house off the ground. Also known as pier and post or pier and pile foundations, the aim of pier and beam foundations is to support a home that is built on sand or soil that is prone to flooding, erosion, or ground shifts. A structural engineer needs to oversee the building of a pier and beam foundation to ensure its structural integrity.

    How much does a foundation repair cost?

    +

    The typical cost to repair a foundation is between $2,200 and $7,500, though most homeowners pay around $4,800. The price of a foundation repair depends on the extent of damage. Major repairs that require the use of hydraulic piers can cost $10,000 or more, while minor cracks can run as low as $500. Fixing a leaky foundation by sealing it costs between $2,300 and $7,300.

    What is the strongest foundation for a house?

    +

    Concrete foundations that are reinforced with steel plinth and beams are considered to be the strongest type of foundation—especially on lots with loose or muddy soil. This type of foundation uses a reinforced concrete beam built between the wall and the foundation. Homes built in areas that are prone to flooding or earthquakes also benefit from a foundation that contains steel plinth and beams.
