    The city made us do this retrofit, as they have been making a lot of buildings retrofit recently.

    Mark and Matt have visited my home for inspection twice now over the last few years. The…read moreprofessionalism and pride of ownership was clear from the moment they arrived, fashionably early I may add (being on time, an understandable challenge amongst LA contractors). We live in a 70 yr house on a hillside with amazing mountain views; but often besieged by the paranoia of being on a hill. Mark allayed fears both times, answered questions to explain the subtle phenomenon that concerned me every so often, & confirmed everything was normal. Inspections were thorough & no unnecessary work suggested. Often, homeowners aren't knowledgeable about civil and construction work. Speaking to these gentlemen is like speaking to professors who'll tell you clearly if you don't need work; and what you may need 15 years from now. We ended up being advised that nothing was needed to be done. The most remarkable example of integrity.

    Let me begin by saying I dreaded having my long, narrow, crumbling driveway redone. However, it…read morebecame a hazard. My first contact was with Matt and from the first meeting, he was informative, professional, on time, and personable. If I had any questions, he was quick to respond. The demo team and construction team were friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable. The men were easy to have around. Miguel oversaw the whole driveway project and he was also easy to approach and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. Cesar, who came to work on the driveway everyday, was also a gem. If I could give you more stars, I would. Thank you for a project done to perfection. Foundation Repair LA also did our seismic retrofit. Cesar, Magdaleno, and Cesar were outstanding. They had the project completed on schedule and were also easy to have around. Matt also set up this project for us and it was very easy to complete. It took two days. The cost of both projects was within reason and they gave me a discount because of having both projects done one right after the other. The whole team made for a positive experience. Taylor in the business office was also responsive and friendly. Thanks to everyone at Foundation Repair LA. for making a dreaded project easy to get through. My new driveway looks great, by the way.

The night before, 9/8, they texted me saying " after reviewing your address, we realized that it falls ouside of our service area". They had to cancel because they don't service my area. Super frustrating to find out last minute after scheduling and planning around it. If they don't work in my area, they should've said that from the start. Makes sense now why their reviews are so low.

I have no recourse but to warn you. I simply wanted a reimbursement for what was clearly damaged. I've been given the run around The men that worked on my home have been blatant in their misogyny, constantly and consistently disrespectful to myself and my gay designer. I'm a single Hispanic female. They used anti gay slurs in Spanish about my designer thinking they would not understand. The issue began about 6 months ago when the water started backing up. Both plumbers I had out to my home noticed the excessive amount of concrete poured on and around the pipes. The plumber that replaced my sewage line could see how the pile ons and concrete crushed the pipes. . The pipes did not have any collars to protect them. After again experiencing such disrespect and discomfort by these workers, i decided it was time to speak up and hopefully save someone from a lot of money. Please, DO NOT HIRE!

    Julian Construction's team replaced two foundation walls that formed a corner. My problem was the…read moreold corner had cracked from top to bottom in two places, one on each of the adjacent walls, and the detached corner was beginning to sink, causing the house to slide to one side. The lack of a long tube from the gutter downspout leading away from the house was a likely culprit. How did I know? The doors around that corner were not closing. I like treating issues as they arise and I knew this problem could stand no delay. I asked for estimates from a handful of foundation companies that other homeowner friends had recommended. Julian's was the only one that had a well-documented inspection, a thorough scope of work, a fair price, and reasonable contract terms. Mayo was on top of it. She scheduled me within a week after I submitted the signed contract and deposit. The crew showed up at 7AM and the foreman spent an hour talking with me while he guided his team into action.They had to jack up the house. The foreman and I stood in the room being elevated and I could hear the creaking wood and straining nails like an old man stretching his joints to his limit (my house is 115 years old). It was scary but I felt like I was in good hands. The foreman was observing every reaction of the house and giving immediate instructions to his team. He also gave me an education on foundations and how houses slide, pointing out the the accelerating slant of the vertical wood pieces in my cripple wall. I do some much home repair myself so I ate up this education! The team worked fast. I was onsite the first and last day. On the first, they asked me a lot of questions about how much leveling I wanted (I opted to keep a slight slant or else my old doors would be jammed) and I could show them all the resources (power, water, fusebox) to help them do their job. They were really nice and had a good sense of humor even though the work was heavy and hard and the summer temps were nearing 100. Mayo had asked me to clear the space (remove plants, remove gutters, remove siding if I wanted to reuse them, protect the AC unit, so I did before they came. On the last day, I was dazzled by the new foundation walls. The floor in the house even felt better to walk on, much more solid. Julian's team offered to put the gutter and the siding back for me, making a vent hole to match the old one. This saved me so much time. Their work passed inspections. The entire process was very smooth. The crew was orderly and handled all items with care. We spoke in English and in Spanish and it was fine. I'm a native Californian so knowing some Spanish comes with the culture here. Up until this experience, I was nervous about foundation replacement but working with Julian Construction made me feel it is a manageable process, even a pleasant one. When I need further work on my foundation, I know who to call and I won't be stressed out about it anymore!

He responded immediately, was very friendly and thorough, and was super upfront in his assessment and options to fix our drainage problem in our front entryway. We had a huge problem in the previous design of our that caused the inside of the house to flood during any heavy rain. The work is of exceptional quality, and everything was clearly communicated prior to us signing anything. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience - the quality of the work, the great communication, the reasonable pricing, and the easy, convenient scheduling. The team was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they went above and beyond. We've already had a very heavy rain to test it out, and it is perfect! Highly recommend!

He obviously has a wealth of experience and was thoughtful in his approach in both identifying our problem and presenting solutions. We went rather far down the road together, but because we needed to bundle our work with various other projects, we ultimately went with another company. That said, I felt compelled to write a quick review and let people know that Eldar was quick to respond, thorough, and thoughtful in his approach with us. Will certainly reach out to him if problems present themselves in the future.
