Peter was referred by an inspector for foundation survey. Great price it seems for peace of mind. I didn't end up needing survey done since I didn't get property, but he was very kind to explain over phone the process and what type of ways he determines issues with property. I'd definitely call him if and when I need this service. read more

Wow! I was calling around to different companies trying to get quotes for some foundation stabilization on my home built in 1912. Right off the bat, knowing nothing about my home, told me all the issues with working on a home as old as mine, despite me having a report from a structural engineer. Perhaps, putting on your website: profile that you will not work on homes over 50 years might be helpful, instead of wasting people's time and /or mansplaining things that are completely contrary to a structural engineer's assessment. read more

Very disappointed with foundations on the level. Price was competitive, but I guess you get what you pay for. Peter told me that because he was only lifting the house an inch or two in some areas the damages would be minimal. Possibly some drywall cracks, but not much beyond that. He also told me that everything will be put back the way it was found. Here I sit months after they "finished" the project still cleaning up after the mess they left behind with well over $10,000 and unexpected damages. They left my deck and shambles structurally nowhere near the way they found it. That repair cost me $4000. they also left my kitchen completely unlevel. There's about a one and a half inch difference from the window on the one side to the window on the other side. I essentially have to redo my entire kitchen now because the countertops were left on level as well as the window because of how they lifted the floor. Doesn't make any sense aesthetically or functionally. When I ask Peter about the damage that he never brought to my attention, he told me to reference the small print in my contract. Nice way to conduct business and set the right expectations for your customers. Again, just very disappointed. In addition to that after Peter started the project, he conjured up a $5000 adder for concrete that he claims he didn't know was there. Not only did we discussed the concrete that was there, I also showed him pictures when he came out. To his benefit in my detriment, he didn't recall and still charged me. I would've told him absolutely not, but they had already started the project and dug a moat around 75% of my home Peter also told me that after they lifted the foundation perimeter, they would quickly and cost-effectively make adjustments as needed to the supports underneath the house. After paying him $70,000 to repair the foundation, he popped his head under the house and said they look fine. That was his assessment. Meanwhile, there are huge drops in my bedroom and bathroom floor that he can't explain or fix. read more

This guy had the best prices. But then it ended up being triple the price . Sounds like a nice guy but he's not I would go with someone else

pulled up old carpet and pad and discovered cracks in bedroom and closet slab. Called Peter and he came within a couple hours, assessed the problem, and had his crew here the next day. Everyone was very knowledgeable, professional, skilled, and courteous. I highly recommend Foundations on the Level. read more

The review is long overdue, but I would like to praise the work Peter and his team did. When we ripped old floors we found slab cracks. Peter came on a short notice, diagnosed the severity of the problem, recommended preventive measures. Looks like he knows what he's doing, have plenty of business and did not try to upsell his services. However, I still needed to fix the cracks before the new floors coming up (with installation being scheduled next week, naturally). Peter was able to route his crew to fix the cracks on a very short notice and with a reasonable price. Highly recommend his services. read more

Peter did the foundation inspection for a home that was in Escrow. Peter was responsive and available with short notice. Peter conducted a thorough inspection and included the computerized floor survey. Peter also gave his expertise on areas not in his scope that were structures of the home. I recommend Peter for his foundation expertise, his professionalism and quality of work. Peter always answered the phone when you would call. read more

I would highly recommend Peter. Foundations On The Level performed quality work. He knew the importance of our construction timeline and was able to schedule us in an expedited fashion. He took extra attention to detail, even locating an additional crack that we were not aware of. Unfortunately for us, when we purchased our house, the previous owner neglected to disclose any of the foundation issues. Foundation On The Level rectified this for us and did a quality repair using the proper methods and giving us confidence to move forward with our home renovation now the the floors are repaired. Thank you! read more

Peter was extremely responsive and performed the work I requested, Polyurethane foam injection under my slab, earlier than I thought he would be able to get to it. The work was done for the price he quoted. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The team that Peter had on site with him were all very knowledgeable, nice, respectful and professional. They even said good things about Peter when he wasn't around. In speaking with other professionals in the industry whom I had contacted, they also had very good things to say about Peter after I told them I was using his service. I have already recommended him to my neighbor and will continue to recommend him. I hope never to have to, but would would hire Foundations on the Level again should I need the services they offer. read more

See all

Peter is very knowledgeable, patient and super helpful. He is always available to answer any questions even before you pay for his services. Peter checked to see if there were any foundation issues before we bought a property. He did a very thorough job and alleviated our concerns. He provided good recommendations on what we should do to avoid future issues. read more

Outstanding work, Integrity is the biggest principle that governs this company! Peter and his crew are always on time, respectful, and give a fair price for the work and aren't trying to upsell you on things you don't need, which most contractors these days are. Great customer service read more

Peter and the staff are knowledgeable professionals that can quickly assess your situation and get it repaired!

Foundations on the Level was one of a handful of foundation repair companies referred to me by a geological engineer friend. I spoke with the owner Peter on the phone and sent him a picture of my known issue (crack in stem wall foundation). He showed up on time for our appointment and spent about 2 hours reviewing and measuring my property inside and out. He gave me an honest opinion of the repair required and suggested I didn't need his level of expertise to handle the issue. He also indicated why I was having an issue and how I could go about resolving it. Mind you his service was free of charge and he didn't try to sell me any repairs, in fact, quite the opposite he suggested a less expensive route. On top of this honest service, he's a fascinating person with an interesting resume. I would not have hesitated to contract with him had he felt it was necessary. read more

I noticed a crack in my drywall and some concrete degradation on the exterior of my house. I gave Peter a call as he said he was tied up but would call me back, which he did in a timely manner. After a quick chat, he came out a few days later, took measurements and advised the problem was minor and not worth repairing. I really appreciate his honesty and knowledge. read more

We .had a rather complex job done by Foundations On The Level and it worked out well. the job involved installing 32 helical piers and the raising and stabilizing of our house. The only drawback is that the company is in such demand that you might experience delays in getting started as soon as you would like. you will be kept aware of what is happening at each stage. Alan I. read more

Rather than contacting me directly about a REFUND of my overpayment for his services last November, Peter elected to hire a local attorney to deal with this matter. Sad to report that his attorney attempted to bribe me by making an offer of $$$$ if I removed the negative remarks I had posted on Yelp about Foundations on the Level. Quite unethical and also against Yelp's rules and regulations; obviously a refund of $2,000 could resolve this issue and put it to rest. read more

I'm so happy we went with Peter and Foundations on the Level for our foundation work. He was thorough in his assessment, clearly communicated his findings and recommendations, and was patient in helping me understand the process and make the right decisions for my home. Peter was on site with his hard working team, all of whom were professional and a pleasure to meet. They left the place clean and I have comfort in knowing the job was done right for a fair price. read more

This company was extremely knowledgeable. Peter was honest and did the most measuring of any of the 6 companies I had out to my home for initial consult. He took his time to answer all of my questions. the work was done with out a hitch and he stuck to his original quote. No surprises. the staff who did the work were professional and polite. I would recommend him. read more

Good company. Honest owner (Peter) who helped me even though I didn't eventually need to get any foundation work, but he spent quite a bit of time over the phone explaining and answering any questions I had for him about foundations. He's a good guy and would gladly give him my business should I ever need foundation work done in the future. read more

We had a garage slab crack repair job for which we used foundation on the level service. Peter Z (owner) came on Saturday to inspect the job and provided a quote. His solution was the most through of all the bids we got and he was very honest and a straight shooter who wants to do the job right. Given it was a post tension slab, he got a scan done to ensure the cables are not cut. His team lead by Pat finished the job ahead of the schedule and we were provided a completion report from the engineer. Highly recommend this company! read more

We were not official customers but I wanted to say that Peter is EXTREMELY generous, helpful and answered all my questions I had regarding a potential project. He really knows his stuff and gave us a great referral to assist with the issue we are having. Based on just his helpfulness on the phone, I would venture to bet his is honest and forthright in his work and dealings. read more

I highly recommend Peter the owner of Foundations on the Level to do your job! Peter is very thorough, professional, honest and passionate about his work. He means what he says and says what he means. He's there on the job doing the work and directing his employees as well. Although we hit a few glitches with the City of Oceanside (but that's another story) but once the permits and inspections were a go, he started the job and finished it in a timely manner. He left my property so clean you never even knew there was a crew there. He's a great listener and very patient, explains well and never abandon me after he was hired to lift my home in Oceanside. He's your guy! read more

Peter was very knowledgeable, straight-forward, and provided guidance on his perception of the property's foundation which helped us, greatly, in determining whether to proceed with the transaction. read more

Peter and his entire team are amazing. It is hard to find contractors that are trustworthy, treat your home like it is there own, do great work and are priced fairly. Peter and team check all these boxes. We had about 2.5 inches of sinking on one side of our house. We had 7 piers installed and were able to lift the house to where it is level again. I can not be any happier with the results and the decision to hire Peter. I would highly recommend him and his team for your needs in fixing your foundation. read more

I had a very positive experience. Peter came right away, was right on time, was professional and helpful. Honest assessment with no over-quoting or other nonsense. I would recommend Foundations on the Level to anyone with questions about their slab. read more

I feel grateful to have found this company for our foundation stabilization repair. We had 4 other companies come out to take a look. One wanted to do the job without getting proper permits. One wanted to nickel and dime every last thing. Three of them wanted to do a more complicated repair building a secondary foundation. Peter was the last one I called and thank goodness!! He knew exactly what needed to be done and he did everything by the book. Peter was very easy to work with. He always responded quickly to phone calls and emails. We had 22 piers installed. He was honest and refunded us the price of 2 piers that he realized were not needed. The crew was great and worked with lightning speed to get the job done. It's a daunting thing to be told your home's foundation has issues but in the end this was one of the easiest jobs we've ever had done. These guys know what they're doing. I couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Outstanding job. Professional and technically proficient. Covered all aspects of the project from engineering design, permits from the city and implementation. As a former Soils Engineer I was very impressed with their work and appreciated their keeping me informed throughout the project, explaining everything they were doing and answering any questions I had along the way. I highly recommend Foundations On The Level for any foundation repair work you have. Thanks guys, great job! read more

I'm very thankful that I can't share with you how terrific Peter was fixing my foundation. Fortunately my foundation was not a problem that needed major repair. But I can tell you that Peter was absolutely professional. He was consultative and informative. He was thorough with his inspection. And, above all, he was very kind and gracious. He determined, "I didn't do anything. I just provided you with some guidance and your foundation will be fine. No charge." Who does that anymore? The guy spent almost an hour in my house. I'm thankful I called Peter. I'm very thankful my foundation was fine. And I'm thankful for his graciousness. If you need foundation work, you must give Peter a call. read more

After getting multiple quotes for foundation work I decided to go with Peter at Foundations on the Level and I am glad I did. Peter was very thorough with the project and ensured I was aware clear on everything that needed to be done. He also came in several thousands of dollars less than every other company, while giving me more support piers and tie backs. At the start of the project we had a water line break and he came out on the weekend to fix it within an hour, even though it may have occurred with another contactor. Since it was raining a lot during the project he ensured boards were placed down for us to walk on them and not get muddy. He also found that some equipment wasn't needed so he didn't install it, which saved us some money. Peter is definitely one of the nicest contractors I have dealt with, and would use him again if needed. If you need any type of support or foundation work there is no need to look any further. read more

Well... we set up an appointment, and by my mistake we missed Peter by about 5 minutes for our appointment. I was very apologetic, and knew that it was my mistake. We still wanted to move forward with Peter, so I gave about 3 different phone calls and left voicemails for him. Knowing that he was busy, I called him a few more times with no response. I finally got a hold of him, which at this point he was incredibly rude and disrespectful. He told me "I'm in an airport I can't help you", then randomly screamed into the phone "What's wrong with your house". When I explained the flooring situation he proceeded to rudely tell me we would need to spend $30k, and get a permit that will take a year. This is not what we were told by other opinions, and Peter had never seen our flooring to make that quote. The way he spoke to me on the phone was incredibly gross. Worst customer service I've ever experienced, and I would highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

Peter was so helpful. Our foundation ended up being fine and we didn't need any work done. Despite not having to perform any work, Peter prepared a free report for us and also recommended that we hire a simple handyman to do the one thing we needed to have done. His inspection was so thorough and complimentary. Above and beyond. If we ever need foundation work in the future, we will definitely use this company! read more

Peter talked me through some of my concerns, and for now I think I don't need his company's help. But he was patient and knowledgeable and I will go straight back if needed. So full disclosure, I'm not a paying customer but wanted to share a positive experience. read more

This company really knows what they're doing. Peter was very thorough in determining the best solutions for our foundation problem. All permits, plans, and inspections were done and they made the process easy for us. The crew was outstanding - competent, hard-working, and professional. They were all great in explaining the process and answering our questions. We highly, highly recommend Foundations on the Level. Six stars - five isn't enough! read more

This company is the one you pray to get, their work ethics are unsurpassable. Honesty is hard to get these days but Peter and his crew are all that. They go out of their way to make sure the job was done right and that your completely satisfied. There was additional work that I needed done and was quoted by another contractor for Triple the price that Foundation's on theLevel gave me. Great company and crew. George Pettorini read more

I had a terrific experience with Foundations On The Level. Peter provided terrific insight and took the time to fully explain the issue with my foundation. Peter took care of everything, including setting up the engineer and getting the necessary permits with the city. Although my foundation issue was not a big job, Peter always took the time to properly communicate and made sure my repairs were done properly. The project started and ended on time, which is a big plus. Foundations On The Level is a great and unique contractor because they are professional, communicative, and are not looking to take advantage of you. read more

Peter and his team did an excellent job on our foundation repair. His pricing was reasonable and the job was done on time as promised. We received 2 other quotes and we felt most comfortable choosing Peter based on his straightforward explanation and no pressure presentation. On top of that he provides a lifetime transferable warranty on the repair so we don't have to worry when we eventually sell the property. read more

Great Service & Great Value My house was sinking. I got 3 bids for my foundation project. This was the one with the most straight forward estimate of costs, and surprisingly, didn't break the bank. I was in touch with Peter, the owner, the whole time. No call centers, no 4-hour windows, just good old person-to-person service. They were very knowlegeble and executed the work on time. Highly recommend. read more

Peter and his team were excellent from start to finish. Foundations on the Level had the most competitive bid and it came with no hard selling and no hidden charges for supporting and lifting our foundation. Peter was more than happy to recommend other businesses if we didn't go with his quote. Peter was always available to discuss the job and answered all our questions. The whole team were professional and hard working throughout the job. I have never worked with a business that made so much effort to clean up after the job, the team went above and beyond. read more

Had a pretty bad crack close to the edge of the house and these folks came and did a great job at a great price, will definitely use them again for another separate job that I will need to get done soon. read more

Peter and his guys were great. We dealt with a lot of salesmen trying to get us to spend money when we didn't have to. Peter was the opposite. He's honest, knowledgeable and priced fairly. I would highly recommend giving him a call. read more
