Highly recommend! I found Keystone on Yelp to look at a small crack in my outdoor foundation, and…read morethe process was seamless. Scheduling with Clair was incredibly fast--it only took about 2 minutes to set up a general inspection. Julia, my inspector, was fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very patient with all my questions. After a thorough walkthrough of both the inside and outside of my home, she explained that the foundation itself is fine--the cracks were just poorly mixed surface cement that needs repatching. She even caught two other issues during the walkthrough that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I really appreciate the honesty and the extra effort. Great experience!

I initially reached out to Keystone early in my search but went with another company first. When…read morethat company didn't provide a report or follow-up quote, I came back to Keystone, and I'm really glad I did. Scheduling was easy, and Claire in the office was warm and professional throughout. Engineer Julia was exceptional: thorough, honest, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk me through everything, under the house, around the exterior, and up into the attic. She clearly explained the issues she found and her recommendations. I haven't received the final report yet (because she literally just left), but based on the care and expertise she brought to the inspection, I'd highly recommend Keystone to anyone needing a structural engineering evaluation. I also found it genuinely refreshing to work with two women handling both the scheduling and the inspection, as a woman it just made the whole experience even better.

"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 !!

I read the yelp reviews for Montgomery Structural Lifters. they had great reviews so I called the company to schedule a home inspection and bid. The office gave me Rio's email and I emailed and then spoke to him on the phone. He said he would contact me to schedule the appointment. he never contacted me. I called the office and they kept saying he would contact me. i also emailed him again. He never responded. if he was to busy to do the job, he should have let me know that right away instead of wasting my time. I think his lack of follow thru was very unprofessional.
