Steve Brasuell came out to my Daughter's house.
He gave an estimate set a day for the repairs to begin.
My daughter and her husband are trying to restore his birth home, the home is in bad shape, I am trying to help my kids, so I offered to pay for the 12,000.00 foundation repair cost.
The work was completed, Steve requested I send him payment thru Zelle, I explained to him my only account did not offer Zelle. I suggested Venmo, to which he agreed. He said "Venmo works better bc they let me send and accept more money. I'm just scared of scammers!"
This should have been a red flag, I was just paying, I thought Mr Brasuell, representing Texas Pro Tech Foundation Repair, would have worked through a written estimate, contract, and warranty with my daughter and her husband, as would every 35yr Reputable company.
Only 2 weeks later, while trying to hang new doors, my son and his dad noticed they had to jack up the house 3inches so the door would go in.
Upon further inspection, my son, who had been in the construction business more then 30yrs, found the foundation level was done with scrap wood and rock found laying around the property.
His assessment of this foundation work was described as "scab" work, not even worth the labor time put into it, let alone 12,000.00.
My daughter had a Reputable Roofing and Foundation company come out the the next day, Monday.
The contractor said he could not, in good conscience, put his men on the roof because the foundation was so unstable.
I asked my kids to review their contract and warranty papers.
They told my Steve Brasuell did not provide them, in fact he only showed up to the work site once, with a beer in hand.
We contacted Steve Brasuell we were told there was no warranty.
Now, we will have to employ a reputable foundation company.
I do not recommend this company, specifically Steve Brasuell, he saw my kid's project to restore a 100yo family home as a trash, he thought he'd, do a trash job, make easy money and walk away.
And that's exactly what he did!! read more
