Ace House Leveling, LLC did excellent work on our house and it was a difficult job! Our house is a 130 year-old barge board Creole cottage that's raised but very close to the ground. The front original raised part of the house was mostly on the original delapidated piers whose footings weren't much wider than the piers and quite shallow and there's a recent two story addition to the back of the house that had been constructed on top of what had originally been a patio slab and woefully insufficient to bear the weight of the structure. Being ghosted by two other prominent shoring contractors after they scoped the job, Ace House Leveling came to the rescue. Nick, the company's co-owner, meticulously assessed the job and gave us a good low and high-end estimate and the final price stayed within. The crew of five guys worked diligently six days a week for three or four weeks, tunneling and demoing old peers, in the front and tunneling under and demoing cement slab in the back. they replaced old rotten sills and floor joists, excavated and poured cement into the new hefty reinforced footings, and set the new piers. Finally, they very skillfully and gently leveled the old house in a way that caused very little cosmetic damage to the walls. Crawling under the house once or twice to see this work in progress, I was blown away by the skill and fortitude of these guys to do this kind of hard, skillful work in such tight spaces. Now, not only do we have a house where we don't have to run a water hose during a drought to open the front door, but we can do some cosmetic work on the interior and exterior of the house that won't crack away and have to be redone each time the house settles a little bit one way or another. We're sitting on solid ground. Thank you, Ace House Leveling! read more
