He was incredibly professional and friendly the entire time. He spoke to me in detail about everything that he found and gave me his expert advice on it. Enrique was incredibly thorough and had great knowledge of the job in the end. He found nothing he felt was in need of immediate repair. I was absolutely not expecting that. He also provided me a time line of what to look for in the future. if given the opportunity to get an estimate would highly recommend Groundworks and especially Enriqu.

Working with this company was one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had. I signed my…read morecontract in August and today on 3/22/26 the work is finally complete. 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.

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.

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.
