    under house where they failed to put foundation

    If I could give a negative star i would!! I am a first time home buyer and need some foundation work done so my loan could be approved and my RE agent referred this company. They got paid $45,800 to do my foundation and have completely ruined my house. It is totally uunlevel, squeaks everywhere, not to mention they left all the dirt they dug up mixed in with the brick and mortar they removed. B4 they started you could stand in my basement after they were done u have to almost walk on your knees and I don't have a garage so was planning on using my basement for storage. I told then from the beginning that I wanted to still have walking space down there and was assured that I would. I didn't, and when I called then about it I was told that this was considered a cheap job so they didn't remove any of the dirt . $45800 I guess is cheap to them! Then to top it off I have an alcove that sticks out of the side of my house that is 4'x2' and under this section only there was no foundation put there. Insr a ad they put blocks of wood sitting on bricks!! And left one whole side under my house exposed to the elements and now those wood blocks and bricks a sinking and that alcove is falling off the side of my house!! I have my RE agent call them and he said he finished the job and that was that. He. Never offered go look at it or anything. So I have no choice than to take legal action regarding this, horrible service, horrible work, just an overall horrible experience

    Chris and his crew fxing our foundation issues! Progress at work...
    Maria D.

    We moved into our house about 4 years ago and four years ago we knew that our foundation was unstable. Chris was recommended to us by Green Air. He was very knowledgeable, he explained to us that our foundation was terrible because of the lack of drainage. Oh boy! So for a couple of decades the water was been draining under the foundation and concrete. **Sigh** Chris pretty much gave us the straight to the point solution! He gave us a reasonable quote and we were sold! He was very good at addressing all our questions and concerns. He was working on other jobs so he told us we would have to wait(we met him in September) since he was so busy and in high demand. He is licensed, bonded and insured. Well am happy to say we are almost done with the foundation repair project. We are thrilled that Chris and his crew were able to work their skills and talent to fix our big problem! They will not disappoint, they come at the same time everyday and they clean up the job site at the end of the day. I don't have any reservations recommending Chris to any of my family and friends!

    Hinkson retaining wall project

    Chris Hinkson and his crew just finished a 50' stone & wood fence retaining wall at the boundary between my neighbors' and my property. We had talked with a couple of other vendors, and Chris' proposal for the project was both more attractive and more cost effective. The crew did a terrific job - the wall is now secure and all is cleaned up and in good order. The team was polite and easy to work with, and completed the job in a timely manner. Couldn't have asked for more! With thanks to Chris and crew for a job well done.

    Excellent service! While working to get our property ready for sale, we had initial foundation…read moreinspections done by another company through our realtor. Based on the report, we engaged Foundation Solutions for the repairs. After a quick call for an appointment, I met with Collin to go over all necessary repairs. He was very professional and explained the scope of the work and details on how each of the repairs will be done. Once the quote was ready, Collin followed-up to see if there were any questions. The quote was very reasonable and I quickly went with them. Scheduling the work was also easy and only took the crew a couple of days to complete the job. Great experience overall!

Brett came out to do an assessment on our entire foundation and his finding was consistent with our own inspection report. Their recommendation is also on par and we find that Brett is quite knowledgeable about the scope of work. He is also very patient, responsive and respectful throughout the estimating project while we took a long time to decide, a lot of follow ip questions and requests. Not once that I felt rushed, pushed or disrespected. The team kept me informed on the timeline of permit, project starting time, inspection and completion, everything was transparent. They passed inspection without problemsx Our foreman is Humberto who was polite, dependable and kept me well informed on the work they performed the day of, when they finished work and provided needed before and after pictures. I also find their pricing is reasonable compared to other companies that we interviewed with the experience that far exceeds their piers. Overall I had a good experience with the crew. They are polite and really didn't interfere with our life that much while they work. I would recommend them for all foundation repair needs. Be careful because lots of foundation companies will scam you, just because you will not be able to see what they did underneath your crawl space. The last foundation company came out to fix our house they made a bunch of noise for 2 weeks, said they are done and then we hired an independent inspector and confirmed they did nothing. Spend the money on a good company. This one is probably the best one ( we interviewed 6 companies)

    We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

    On the whole I give Foundation Repair of CA high marks. But first, I'll offer an observation…read morehaving nothing to do with that company. Foundation repair involves a lot of digging resulting in a good deal of dirt piling up. Do it during a rainy spell, and there will be mud - lots of it. You have been warned. Avoid scheduling during the rainy season if you can. Let me start with several complaints. First, Foundation Repair should have been a bit more attentive to clean up. Finding a discarded plastic water bottle in the crawlspace maybe isn't the worst thing, but for the healthy-sized check I had to write for the work, a bit more attention to the finishing touches would not be asking too much. Likewise, for finishing touches, I was left with a significant problem. Part of the structure of my deck required removal to do the work. Foundation Repair said they'd repair the structure when done. They did so but, as I discovered after they were gone, the job was so badly executed I had to redo it on my own. Fortunately, I had the necessary tools, but at the age of 78 and working alone, this was a major undertaking. In retrospect, I should have demanded they return and do it right. Now, on to the positives. First a major shout out to Foundation Repair's Christopher Gerrans who gave me some major assistance in getting prepared for the work. He went far, far above and beyond what I expected to help me out. Foundation Repair management, do please remember this when bonus time comes around. I had a lot of trepidation about getting a bid for this work. Foundation repair is an expensive proposition. I was impressed (and relieved) when I was presented with a comprehensive three-tier set of job plan options (I ended up opting for the most expensive). My point is that Foundation Repair (specifically, Mr. Gerrans, again) did a great job up front in helping me to understand what my options were. I was quite impressed with the technology employed to shore up the house. Does it work, though? Well, if the house is still intact a half century from now, then the answer is yes. So, only time will tell if the work was effective. But it certainly looked like a solid and dependable solution. The work was done in timely fashion, and communication was good throughout. Foundation work is an expensive proposition, but I think I got my money's worth from Foundation Repair and would not hesitate to recommend them.

The communication is absolutely horrible, if you get any at all. With repeated attempts to follow up on my project, I kept getting the same answer that they were waiting on permitting, but on two separate occasions, over two separate issues, with two separate time spans, that was incorrect and the delay was a failure to complete the correct paperwork to even submit to the city. This caused months of delays that were unnecessary. They did damage to my electrical, but only would accept responsibility when I pushed back. The work took weeks longer than originally anticipated. All of these things I can understand, but again the terrible communication made the situation so much worse than it needed to be. The technicians who performed the work were very nice and worked their butts off. They walked onto my project totally unprepared for the work involved, even though two representatives were under my house on two separate occasions and could have assessed the work needed. I could keep going, but no one reads long reviews and I am hoping to save someone the headache I went through.

I've had four other contractors come over to my house, and this was by far the best in the area at understanding concepts of my foundation clearly, without being made fearful of potential outcomes.

I now have an elevation reading of my entire home, a better understanding of my floor and foundation, and know some steps to get towards a more stable foundation for my home in Concord. After struggling with other companies in this area, I'm definitely confident in engineered soil repairs to be our solution. Thanks Steve and ESR!
