"Our Man in Rio".... ....er, I should say, our man "IS" Rio,…read moreas in Rio Morales, owner-operator of Montgomery Structural Lifters. The first thing you should know, is that Rio is not just some guy who only shows-up at your job site to collect the bag-fulls of money you will likely need (regardless of who you hire) if you are unfortunate enough to need structural foundation repairs; but on the other hand, Rio was there every day on our job directing/orchestrating his crew and swinging a hammer with the best of them. That said, even if you don't know didley about foundation repairs, but are freakin'-out enough to start calling foundation experts, I can tell you from my experience of having no less than 13 contractors/foundation companies coming out in the past year before hiring Montgomery, Rio was the only one who instilled in me any confidence that his job approach was the right one for resurrecting the listing /crumbling foundation of our otherwise structurally sound 1920s Land Park garage. I initially emailed Rio pix of the deteriorated slab/foundation/dramatic leaning of the garage before he came out for his extremely thorough evaluation; and yes he did charge a fee (which was applied against his bid), but I can tell you it was the best investment I could have made. I have been in this home 43 years and am pretty handy with repairs/general construction, but I do leave the complicated jobs like foundations/roofs/HVAC to the pros, and I do know enough to ask the right questions and know the right answers when I hear them. If you don't have that kind of knowledge yourself, DON'T WORRY, Rio will give you the "straight-story" and you WON'T have to worry about getting ripped-off by shoddy work or un-needed repairs to "jack-up" a repair bill. Upon accepting the bid, Rio arranged for his structural engineer to draw-up the plans and took care of all the permitting, which went seamless, and on one occasion during the project while the city inspector was meeting with Rio on the job site, they were both on the phone with the engineer to discuss some of the foundation plans; which obviously made the "passing" inspections proceed without delays. Our job involved actually lifting the entire garage on steel beams and demo-ing the shot slab & foundation/re-racking the entire building with "come-alongs"/new internal bracing/seismic bolt & plates for the upgraded footers/headers, all which was brought up to current city code. Rio initially gave me two bids for my choosing: one to generally fix the foundation issues by repair or the second option, which I chose, to completely renovate the garage, and I couldn't be happier with Rio's attention to detail. He estimated 6 weeks from start to finish and Office Manage Dana always kept me advised of scheduling to keep Rio and crew from being in 14 places as one time! The crews always let me know beforehand what was scheduled for the day and ALWAYS showed-up on time and were a quite pleasant competent crew (Thank you to Travis, Rick, Jessie & Jesus for the great work!) OK I could go on and on, but I will say I am pretty picky who works on our house and Rio is as honest and competent as you will find, right alongside other top-notch contractors I have used ie "Fargo Construction" (now retired Land Park remodeler); "Sierra Pacific" for HVAC; and "Cal Vintage Roofing". To sum it up, we were extremely grateful that Montgomery took on our project and couldn't be happier. Thankyou Rio, Dana and the rest of the crew !!

I read the yelp reviews for Montgomery Structural Lifters. they had great reviews so I called the company to schedule a home inspection and bid.

I called the office and they kept saying he would contact me. i also emailed him again. He never responded. if he was to busy to do the job, he should have let me know that right away instead of wasting my time. I think his lack of follow thru was very unprofessional.
