On August 5, Beto returned my phone call and informed me that the fire engineer was working on the required fire plans. He stated that the work would take approximately three weeks and that they expected to submit the remaining permit documents to the City of Sacramento during the first week of September 2026. We appreciated finally receiving a projected timeline and hoped the project was moving forward after 2 years since we signed the contact with them. On August 31, I sent Walter and Beto a written follow-up asking whether the fire plans were completed or close to completion and whether the project remained on schedule for submission during the first week of September. As of September 2, we have received no response to that email. We have also made multiple phone calls attempting to obtain an update, but have been unable to reach anyone. We understand that the first week of September has not yet ended, so we are still giving the company the opportunity to complete the submission within the timeline they provided. After nearly two years of delays, we sincerely hope they will follow through with this latest timeline and submit the remaining permit documents as promised. I will continue updating this review based on what actually happens.

"Our Man in Rio".... ....er, I should say, our man "IS" Rio,…read moreas in Rio Morales, owner-operator of Montgomery Structural Lifters. The first thing you should know, is that Rio is not just some guy who only shows-up at your job site to collect the bag-fulls of money you will likely need (regardless of who you hire) if you are unfortunate enough to need structural foundation repairs; but on the other hand, Rio was there every day on our job directing/orchestrating his crew and swinging a hammer with the best of them. That said, even if you don't know didley about foundation repairs, but are freakin'-out enough to start calling foundation experts, I can tell you from my experience of having no less than 13 contractors/foundation companies coming out in the past year before hiring Montgomery, Rio was the only one who instilled in me any confidence that his job approach was the right one for resurrecting the listing /crumbling foundation of our otherwise structurally sound 1920s Land Park garage. I initially emailed Rio pix of the deteriorated slab/foundation/dramatic leaning of the garage before he came out for his extremely thorough evaluation; and yes he did charge a fee (which was applied against his bid), but I can tell you it was the best investment I could have made. I have been in this home 43 years and am pretty handy with repairs/general construction, but I do leave the complicated jobs like foundations/roofs/HVAC to the pros, and I do know enough to ask the right questions and know the right answers when I hear them. If you don't have that kind of knowledge yourself, DON'T WORRY, Rio will give you the "straight-story" and you WON'T have to worry about getting ripped-off by shoddy work or un-needed repairs to "jack-up" a repair bill. Upon accepting the bid, Rio arranged for his structural engineer to draw-up the plans and took care of all the permitting, which went seamless, and on one occasion during the project while the city inspector was meeting with Rio on the job site, they were both on the phone with the engineer to discuss some of the foundation plans; which obviously made the "passing" inspections proceed without delays. Our job involved actually lifting the entire garage on steel beams and demo-ing the shot slab & foundation/re-racking the entire building with "come-alongs"/new internal bracing/seismic bolt & plates for the upgraded footers/headers, all which was brought up to current city code. Rio initially gave me two bids for my choosing: one to generally fix the foundation issues by repair or the second option, which I chose, to completely renovate the garage, and I couldn't be happier with Rio's attention to detail. He estimated 6 weeks from start to finish and Office Manage Dana always kept me advised of scheduling to keep Rio and crew from being in 14 places as one time! The crews always let me know beforehand what was scheduled for the day and ALWAYS showed-up on time and were a quite pleasant competent crew (Thank you to Travis, Rick, Jessie & Jesus for the great work!) OK I could go on and on, but I will say I am pretty picky who works on our house and Rio is as honest and competent as you will find, right alongside other top-notch contractors I have used ie "Fargo Construction" (now retired Land Park remodeler); "Sierra Pacific" for HVAC; and "Cal Vintage Roofing". To sum it up, we were extremely grateful that Montgomery took on our project and couldn't be happier. Thankyou Rio, Dana and the rest of the crew !!
