It is obvious he has years of experience working with foundations and understands engineering very well. There was no pressure to make any quick decisions. We felt he was very honest about the different options we had. He arrived on time, and his recap email arrived right away. The experience was much better than expected, considering the issues we are facing with our old home. I highly recommend Ram Jack West and ask for Chris.

Awful company. I got work done a year ago and decided not to leave a review however I'm STILL…read morehaving issues, so here goes. Original plan was not followed. I had to get all the way to a supervisor to get the crew to stop working. They did in fact need to change the design but never reviewed it with me. A third design had to be done and they still put the sump pump right in front of my hot water heater, they did not pitch the one side enough so water sits there, left my driveway full of small and large metal shavings (and I have 2 young kids and 2 dogs who run in the backyard), did not clean up other materials, did not remove the dirt they dug up in the basement (told me I had to pay extra, you would think for 24k it'd be included. They also went to dig up my patio to run the water line, which could have been adjusted a few feet to not dig up an entire patio- again, no one would listen until I spoke to that one supervisor again, it was unreal. There were multiple times they were scheduled to come and never showed or showed on a different day then was scheduled, at least 4 times, and the crew had no idea. Fast forward to my yearly inspection, where he recommended I get a dehumidifier, and I was confused bc I paid to get one (that was one of my main things before I got talked into upgrading to a 24k job). They NEVER installed the dehumidifier and there has been new mold growth. They were not forthcoming with pics but sent a crew to spray, the crew had no idea what they were spraying for. They finally installed the dehumidifier and now I'm waiting for them to return to fix the encapsulation which is pulling apart, for the thousands of dollars it was, it was not worth it. The entire job was not worth it (3 columns designed to hold up large buildings, used to hold up my tiny house), encapsulation, dug around the edges, put in a sump pump, and now the dehumidifier. I would NOT recommend!!!!

I contacted City Construction Solutions after discovering a water issue in my crawl space that had…read morecaused damage to several support posts. They came out and did a very thorough inspection of the entire crawl space, identified the source of the water problem, and documented several posts that had been damaged and rotted. They helped restore the water management system in the crawl space and completely replaced all of the damaged posts. I also really appreciated that they documented the work and provided photos after the project was completed so I could clearly see everything that had been done. I worked with Eric, Oleg, Sergey, and Lee throughout the process, and everyone was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I'm extremely happy with the service and the final result. I would definitely recommend City Construction Solutions to anyone dealing with crawl space or structural issues. 10/10 experience.

We had an extremely stressful experience working with this company on our foundation repair…read moreproject. The project caused enormous anxiety and depression for our family. Nearly 5 months after construction, our house still makes loud, concerning noises. Since construction began, many new cracks appeared throughout the house and old cracks became significantly wider. Floors shifted unevenly, causing basement flooring to pop up, tiles to lift, and grout to crack. After spending over $90,000, several areas of the foundation are still settled more than 3.5 inches. Initially, they told us they would lift the house to a practical level, but once work started they strongly discouraged lifting. Many risks and limitations were never disclosed during the inspection phase. By then, we had already spent tens of thousands on permits and deposits and could not realistically withdraw. After repeated insistence, they finally agreed to lift only the west section for an extra $1,500 to lift 3 piers, while the remaining 16 piers were stabilization only. During lifting, one hydraulic jack slipped off a pier, causing a massive bang that shook the house like an earthquake. Shortly afterward, we found a new foundation crack and existing cracks widened dramatically. The permit process was also a disaster. They ignored reviewer comments despite my reminders, causing extra review fees. Our permit alone cost nearly $5,000. Our foundation remained excavated and exposed for about 3 months before backfill due to polyurethane foam delivery delays and city concerns while we continued living in a dangerous construction site. Workmanship was poor and materials appeared substandard. Several piers were visibly installed crooked. We later hired two separate foundation repair companies to inspect the work after seeing so many new cracks, and both immediately pointed out that multiple piers were not installed straight. I suspect the cracking was caused either by improper pier angles or careless excavation planning. They excavated beneath all pier locations at once, including dangerous corner areas where excavations nearly met under the foundation. The drainage system was also poorly installed. Multiple caps were missing initially. Despite several promises to bring them later, they never did, so we bought and installed them ourselves. The drain lines contain standing water even during summer, with water levels nearly flush with the cleanouts, indicating improper slope and high clogging risk. One critical corner originally supposed to receive support coverage was ultimately left unsupported after a design change related to chimney removal, and they never informed us. That area had already been excavated for tieback installation and lacked vertical support. Had they communicated properly, we could have relocated a pier from a more stable section to support that corner. The steel parts used were raw iron with poor corrosion resistance. Heavy rust appeared on some piers within just two weeks. Costs were also far higher than represented: - Structural engineering was estimated below $3,500 but base cost alone was $4,500 plus about $1,000 per revision. - Geotechnical costs reached $6,500 plus $3,000 for special inspection. - Mid-construction they informed us of an additional $5,500 load testing fee (discounted from $7,000). Throughout the project they repeatedly demonstrated unfamiliarity with Seattle permitting and inspection processes, causing additional inspections and extra costs billed to us. At times it felt like we were paying for their tuition while our home was the experiment. This project caused severe financial, emotional, and structural damage to our home. Aware! Reviews are not all real! See my screenshot, gonna report to WACP!

Had a large, obtrusive puddle forming in my driveway every time it rained, which would stay there…read morefor several days during the winter, and which was also blocking the pathway to my back door. Paul at Allied worked with me over the course of four months figuring out the best way to deal with the problem. The solution was a channel drain that would lead to my existing gutter drainage system. Because of the topography of my existing driveway, I assumed that there would still be a fair amount of puddling even after the drain was installed and that I would just have to live with it. In the days just after the install however, it rained quite a bit, and the drain worked pretty much perfectly. The puddling has been reduced by about 95%, and the water that does collect is shallow enough to handle easily. After the rain stops, the remains evaporate after a few hours. The small lake that I used to have to walk around is gone. The guys who did the install were professional and very courteous and Paul was very knowledgeable and patient in response to my many, many questions and emails leading up to the install. Would definitely recommend Allied for any project, large or small.
