I hired SD Footing Repair to complete a foundation project that another contractor failed to…read morecomplete. There is a reason SD Footing Repair are the go-to contractor for historic homes like mine. They know the job inside and out, they work hard and efficiently, and they take pride in their work. SD Footing Repair replaced my perimeter foundation, along with a number of post and piers. Every single knowledgeable person, from the foundation engineer to the city inspector, has praised the work they performed. I never really thought much about foundations before, but I am actually proud to show off the foundation SD Footing Repair built for my house. It's that nice. We had the foundation certified and inspected without issue. Jason, the owner of SD Footing Repair, was on site frequently throughout the project, and was professional and easy to work with. It's obvious that he cares about his crew and his customers, and does everything he can to make an intimidating home renovation less intimidating. Replacing an entire foundation is an unpleasant project to have to undertake, especially on a historic home. At the end of the day, though, SD Footing Repair ensured the project was completed on-budget and ahead of schedule, with no drama. In fact, they even cleaned up the mess left by another contractor (literally). I would not hesitate to recommend SD Footing Repair to anyone needing foundation work, especially on a historic home.

Michele, one of the owners, was able to get me into the schedule for a free estimate the following week. Tom, the other owner, came the following week to inspect the foundation and look over the structural engineer assessment. Tom was very nice and personable. After a few days, Michele was able to get me a quote and get me in the books for November. I asked her to put me on the cancellation list. Usually companies don't really move us ahead, but Michele was very quick about the appointment books. She first moved me up a week and then she asked me if they could start work the first week of October. Jason, his foreman, and his crew were very quick and knew what they were doing. They got the job done in 2 days for a 1180sq foot house. I want to personally thank Michele for being amazing. She replies very quickly to you even though she's super busy with all the admin work. I asked for a receipt and she got it to me asap. Tom and Jason, who are the other owners, were very friendly and will answer all your questions. Their foreman was very nice too. He was the first one at the house and the last one to leave. He explained to me what was going on. They have competitive pricing. I chose them over the other contractors because they know what they're doing and they will make sure to complete the job by the deadline. Thank you again Michele!

Here's someone you can trust and highly recommended through others that essentially support each other because in foundation work and engineering... they go hand in hand. You can feel confident here, Jake was a recommendation through a Civil Engineer that was another well known good recommendation to us. ( you see where this is going?) Ha! Jake is licensed and bonded current, he also runs a very good team, his workers are hard working guys, respectful and you can tell that Jake (owner) is a good business Man. He himself is very down to earth, honest and he'll tell you honest everything you want to know and by us asking a ton of questions, he'll start feeling like family because just how the conversations flow and how comfortable you feel. He takes his time, making sure that what his findings also match up with the civil engineer findings. *****please note**** we hired a civil engineer beforehand to check our foundation.....its worth the report and they essentially write the recipe and guys like Jake bake the cake. Its important you need both if you want to feel confident in your choices for your home, because that's what we did. Jake is a rare and gem find, he'll tell you what you need, and is extremely knowledgeable. Not his first rodeo. The work guys are extremely well knowledgeable and are experienced in what they do. This is a solid foundation company (get it?) To trust to get an honest quote, opinion and work. So if you need that community know someone.... here's your guy! Jake! We're so happy with the work, and no more trampoline effects in the house and our doors now open n close with ease. We're sad to see you guys move on, it was an honor to work with you guys.

His work is solid and always will stand by it. We had an engineer verify it and he made corrections to make it up to snuff within a week. VERY IMPRESSED. The work is good. The price is good.

We had someone who claimed to be a contractor build a retaining wall between my and my neighbor's house. That wall collapsed at 3am less than a year later during a strong rain. It was an incredibly stressful event that put my neighbor's house in jeopardy of sliding down the hill into my house. I was forced to build a new, far more complicated wall to entomb the failing old wall and protect both our houses. This process required a creative engineering plan. It required thoughtful and careful construction methodologies. It required constant hand holding with the city. It required on the fly problem solving. All of this was done with a friendly demeanor. If you need a retaining wall in San Diego, go with Azar.
