    Julio and his team earned a full five stars: covering value, communication skills, and the actual product. The scope of the project was strengthening a weak opening (our garage of our single family home in San Francisco) as well as constructing a few strengthened walls to withstand earthquake forces. And, they closed off our open garage so it was 2 hour fire proofed, which was key since our kid bedrooms are above the garage. We also applied and successfully received the 3k grant from the FEMA Earthquake Brace and Bolt program. And, we did the whole thing with permits, so also successfully did our final inspection with San Francisco's building department. The whole project lasted from mid-September to late November with all the final sign-offs and FEMA approval in January (the actual work lasted a few weeks over the initial estimate but much faster than we had feared).In terms of value, they were the highest of three quotes we received, but unlike friends' projects that ran well over budget, Julio's estimates were within 15% of original estimates. We did a few change orders based on issues discovered during construction, but Julio and the structural engineer were pragmatic on what was the least we could spend to ensure we hit our voluntary seismic strengthening goals. Julio and his foreman Jose were great communicators, going over issues as they arose and so we weren't surprised. They also worked well with our structural engineer, Chris Pioli. Key for us as working professionals is they handled all the permits and communication with the city, which is no easy feat. And, they did the FEMA paperwork. In terms of actual product, they installed a cutting-edge seismic strengthening component, the Skinny Brace, which makes it faster to bounce back after a big earthquake, whenever that may be. The concrete work was also independently tested by a materials lab and exceeded the required strength. I felt they had a high quality product. In short, we'd hire Nieto Valley Construction again!

    Dry rot they removed while doing the releveling. I'll add more pictures of the project later.

    I used Nieto Valle in multiple projects for my 1920 newly bought house in Alameda. After I bought it, I know from the report the foundation has work to do, I don't know how bad it is. I got structural engineer and multiple foundation companies to come and inspect. Julio charged, but the ones didn't charge to do this just took a quick walk, didn't even go into the crawl space. Julio was there for a long time, explaining to me of each issues I have, took pictures, and sent me a detailed report. The money was well spent. I showed the suggestions and the report to the structural enginner, he thought it was a very honest report. After that, for weeks Julio was patient explaining things to me. Made sure I understand my house and foundation. With structural enginner's help, i decided to go with Julio's crew to 1) lift my house. It was a inch - 1.5 inch settling on one side of the wall. 2) retrofitting 3) stucco repair. They have excelled everything. I used both of his crews. Team led by two Joses. They are very hard working, honest, clean, and easy to work with. They are very respectful. On the lifting job, the team volunteering ly replaces a lot of the dry rot which was super nice for them to do, without extra charges. I felt safe with the work. After a few weeks, I had them coming to do retrofitting. Again, they replaced bad wood, added new beams to places need more support. All these are not included in the contract and they have helped with no charge. Work is super professional. They are on time, respectful, clean after them, I wish to keep them around for ever. I feel super comfortable just leave to work and come back at night looking at all the progress. They are honest, know what they are doing! Jose, Jose, Jose (three Jose), and sorry another person I can't remember the name. They are the ones you can trust!

    $650 dollars estimated just to show up and provide a quote. Laughable.

    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!

    We just did a mid size project with them last month. We had them underpin one side of the house and…read morereplace a good amount of posts and repair some cracks in our foundation. 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)
