A crack about 1.5 feet long in the concrete slab appeared in my garage. Over the year, the crack extended to 3 feet. I was worried it might be foundation problem. Solomon came over and made the inspection and gave me an honest report - not foundation problem, it's the water that leaked to the floor from the sink caused it. Solomon was well mannered, good communication skills, explained the issue clearly, and the inspection was free! I am so relieved and greatly impressed with his honesty and kind spirit. Thank you Sunshine Foundation Repairs! I will definitely recommend you to my friends. read more

Wow, I can't say how relieved I am to have contacted Sunshine Foundation. I was purchasing a property and noticed some of the floors were caved in and bowed, so I reached out to them. They came out the very next day, and Golan was the inspector. He walked me through the entire process and explained everything in detail, including the good and bad things he found, the pros and cons, and what actually needed attention. The house definitely needs some work, but he made it clear that there are solutions and gave me a much better understanding of what the repairs would involve. He also pointed out the good things about the property, which I really appreciated because it wasn't just focused on the negatives. I feel much more confident moving forward with the purchase now that I know what I'm getting into, what can be fixed, and roughly what the repairs may cost. Very grateful for how thorough and helpful he was. read more

We reached out to yelp and was inquiring for a a foundation inspection. Sunshine Foundation was the first to reach out and was immediately accommodated for the next day. We were on a time constraint which was appreciated. I was sent an inspector by the name of Golan who was knowledgeable , thorough and professional. He came and did the inspection and did a great job of explaining the result of the inspection to me where I could understand it. I would definitely recommend Sunshine Foundation but I would especially recommend Golan to anybody due to his knowledge and efficiency. I was very happy with the inspection and would recommend them to anyone. read more

My insurance required a seismic retrofit for my property. Sunshine foundations stood out for their good reviews. My inspector Golan was very professional and thorough. Gave me a complete assessment and and brought to my attention of additional repairs that need to be addressed. Would highly recommend reaching out to them for any foundation needs. read more

I needed to repair some foundation cracks as well as create a new exterior crawlspace access door. I am a first time homeowner, with very limited budget but I didn't want to compromise on quality. I don't need show, but the work should be good functional quality. Above all, I hate salesmen who try to sell things, without basing on clear facts. I am an engineer and I like to thoroughly research, even though I am not in construction trades. I got 4 quotes before proceeding with Adam. He stood out from day 1, making it clear what he was recommending and why. He didn't try to oversell, and he gave clear evidence backed rationale for everything. He was honest. He encouraged me to get other quotes so I do my due diligence. I checked and double checked what the other foundation contractors told me, and it became clear towards the end that Adam's advice had been fact based. Some of the other contractor's advice conflicted... do an underpin, don't do an underpin. An underpin can harm your foundation by adding stress as you don't have rebar, etc. At the end, having satisfied myself I went with Adam. His prices were not the lowest nor the highest, but fair. Stand up guy. Highly recommend. Good company, the crew whi worked on my home were all Sunshine employees, not random temps. Looking forward to not worrying about my foundation again. read more

Solomon was extremely thorough with our foundation inspection and was patient and attentive to all of our questions while he reviewed his findings with us. We highly recommend his expertise ! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience thus far with Sunshine with my seismic retrofit. Adam visited my property and spent almost an hour mapping out the entire floorplan and created a detailed plan of attack - all free of charge!!! He carefully measured whether the floor was uneven using a laser, took numerous photos of the areas of concern in the crawl space (wearing a full hazmat suit, goggles, and a high-end face mask), and patiently answered all of my questions. I had another vendor visit the property, and he only spent 3 minutes poking his head around - he did not even enter the crawl space! Therefore, it was an easy choice to go with Sunshine. I felt comfortable enough with Adam to ask him to visit my parents' home for a possible retrofit. Unfortunately, this structure does not have a crawl space / cripple walls and thus is not able to be retrofitted. I feel very comfortable in recommending Adam for other projects, and I look forward to engaging with Sunshine again soon. Thank you, Adam!! read more

Sunshine did foundation replacement, repairs, and retrofit at our duplex. I want to say thank you for completing this project on schedule, being in good communication, and being on top of fixing issues when they came up. Most of all, thank you for finding the solution in the beginning so that we avoided having to pour additional foundation but still made it code compliant. This saved me a lot of money. I'm very glad to find you guys. read more

Sunshine Foundation Repairs - Foundation replacement - General Contractors Near Me - Northridge, California

Sunshine Foundation Repairs is as awesome as everyone said. They were able to see me on short notice. I really appreciated it. Golan was my inspector and did a thorough job explaining what he saw. He listened to what I asked and was able to answer any question I had. He also told me what was good about the property which I appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and reassured me of any concerns. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. read more

Sunshine Foundation did our inspection during escrow, and after we purchased the house, I had a few other companies come out for second opinions. Truthfully, no one came close to the knowledge, honesty, and thoroughness of Solomon and the Sunshine team. What stood out most was that they never tried to oversell me. They were straightforward about what needed to be done and what didn't. The dirt removal ended up taking about twice as long as originally estimated (not their fault - there was was just way more dirt than was viable), but they still did not hit me with a change order. Finding a contractor that is honest, communicative, and actually sticks to their word feels almost impossible, but Sunshine did exactly that. I also asked them to move the start date up by two weeks because of our move-in timeline, which was a huge ask. Ram, the owner, personally made sure it happened and clearly moved things around to make it work. Ram and Solomon were available throughout the entire process, from start to finish, and they even had their crew working overtime to help us hit our target completion date. They truly went above and beyond. Sunshine did an amazing job removing a massive amount of dirt and reinforcing our raised foundation. I will be doing seismic retrofitting with them in the near future. I could not recommend this team more. read more

I never imagined our seismic retrofit project could go so well or I wouldn't have procrastinated so long to get it done. My husband and I knew we should get earthquake insurance but the cost blew our minds but when we heard that you can get a 25% discount if you complete the retrofit, we explored what it would entail. Well the EBB subsidy which came out to $3,000 was a huge motivator. Selection: To select a company to work with I went overboard reading reviews, not just looking at ratings- Yelp, Google, Angi, Houzz. Plus, I always look at Next Door because our city is finicky so I wanted to see which companies had delivered excellent experiences for homeowners in our city and lastly I look at Reddit. I invited 3 highly rated companies with excellent track records to provide quotes based on the work required. Out if the 3, two came, went into our crawl space and provided a detailed breakdown of the necessary work and cost with photos. The third company provided a quote over Yelp without coming in person to do a visual inspection. So they were eliminated from consideration. The remaining two which included Sunshine were excellent and after putting together a side by side comparison of the work and costs along with their answers to some initial and follow up questions from my husband ( who was a 35 yr construction industry executive), we selected Sunshine and specifically Adam who was the lead that came to our house and who provided detailed and technical responses that instilled so much confidence. EBB approval: Well from there, it was like we had a retrofit concierge with Diana guiding me through every step which is necessary because there are things that need to be done on the EBB website to ensure compliance to receive approval and given Sunshine's vast experience, they have it down to a science which eliminates a ton of confusion I am sure I would have had to face without them. The retrofit work: The team was on time, had detailed instructions, and worked diligently the entire time they were here and they provided photos of their work. And a bonus was I didn't have any clean up to do afterwards. I need to note that out of an abundance of caution Adam ( who is also a licensed electrician) came back out to take care of a wire that looked suspicious but was probably not an issue. If he had not mentioned it, we would not have known City inspection and approval: A breeze! The gentleman that dealt with the city came by after to give us the good news and it was apparent he was trusted by the city inspector. Retrofit completion certificate Diana expeditiously provided the certificate i needed to provide my insurance broker to get quotes after instructing me on how to complete the final EBB steps Success! We now have earthquake insurance and saved 25% off the premium. Side note: get your quote from GeoVera and not the Earthquake Authority. our quote for better coverage by a more highly rated company saved $1,500 in annual premiums So, for a project that seemingly would have been a bear, it was probably the easiest construction like project and process I could have imagined that gives us added confidence in protecting our home. Do it and include Sunshine in your short list. you will be happy you did. read more

We reached out to Golan to check out our foundation, we received a quick response and he was able to give us a thorough rundown of what the foundation looks like. He was also very clear about what needs to be done to the house. I'd definitely suggest using his services to anyone. read more

This company and specifically inspector was recommended by my friend. I'm very thankful to Mr Golan for his advice. Unfortunately he wasn't able to complete proper inspection because the company that completed repair of my house covered the foundation with foam and plastic. They all sealed all the vents under the house. Mr Golan was very professional and explained in simple words what needs to be done. I will definitely contact them again for full inspection read more

Golan @ Sunshine Foundation was the best vendor I have ever worked with. This was not an easy project - a lot of hurdles from the customer side. We kept changing our mind, but Golan kept an amazing attitude the whole time. Never made me feel rushed or stressed. The project was completed better than I could have expected. We felt extremely taken care of and the crew were amazing. 10/10 would recommend read more

Adam helped me each time for things for my home. He came promptly and worked with me to understand that there were no issues to be worried about my home and informed me of the grant for EBB. He took a lot of time to explain to me different foundations and what to look out for. Highly recommend using this company and requesting to work with Adam! read more

Sunshine Foundation was extremely responsive, provided a timely inspection and quote for the repairs needed to our raised foundation. We have nothing but praise for the entire team. The inspection and quote prepared by Jonathan Bevinetto was complete and detailed. They completed the work in 1 day, including a seismic retrofit. An extremely professional organization and the crew that spent the day crawling under our house are to be applauded for their efficiency and thoroughness! Highly recommend Sunshine Foundation Repairs. read more

My house is 100 years old, so it needed an earthquake retrofit. When the time came to choose between the competing offers, Sunshine was the obvious choice. Competitive pricing. And Golan was very professional. He patiently answered all my questions, and I learned a lot from him. I was very happy with the results! read more

Honest, reliable, and knowledgeable! I called Sunshine Foundation for a quote for retro-fitting our home, and we were extremely with their service. When Lee came out to our property, he was punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Once he reviewed our foundation was built on a slab foundation and no retro-fitting was needed, he quickly let us know we did not need to spend any money for retro-fitting. He also provided us free consultation, which we were extremely grateful. We are very impressed with Lee's honest and knowledgeable service. It is not often that a contractor has the customer's best interest at heart and recommends no service needed. Highly recommend! read more

Sunshine foundations was great at answering my calls and I was able to make an appointment the week of. They were polite and on time, provided me with pictures. Thank you read more

We highly recommend Sunshine Foundation. We obtained several estimates for stabilizing our house's foundation, and while all companies were professional, Adam from Sunshine Foundation distinguished himself with his detailed inspection, thoroughness, and different approach (use of helical piers) to fix our foundation. He was very patient in answering our questions and reviewed the proposed work multiple times without pressuring us. The foundation work was completed quickly and efficiently, and per our request, Adam kindly followed up in person to inspect the final work and review the photos taken by the workers to insure we understood the overall project. Thank you!! read more

Give them a call! They will walk you through the entire process no strings attached. From my initial call with Diana to the completion of the work, it was by far the easiest and best experience I've had with a company. Diana took the time to educate me and answer all the questions I had. The workers were professional and respectful. Golan came out and did the initial inspection and provided photos and clear documentation of what needed to be done. This is a quality family owned business that will ensure you get the best service for a great price. I tried various other companies and I came coming back to Sunshine foundation repairs. Thank you all for the guidance and support. For anyone who would like to learn more about the process, give them a call. Diana is so helpful and genuinely cares about your experience. read more

My first meeting with Golan pretty much sealed the deal. Respectfully, courteous, dog friendly.. lol. This man took off his shoes before entering my house. Some friendly conversation and he went to work. Began with laser measurements of all the rooms. Told him my expectations and we headed underneath the house. That's correct, invited me to crawl under my house so i could see exactly what he saw. So we crawled. He explained everything as we went. When we finished we went over what was needed, what was recommended and what was optional. Found a price point that met our needs and when work started we had what we wanted in 2 days. The workers were on time, polite, did their job and when they were finished, the place was spotless. Golan addressed some of my concerns as a non professional on the final inspection and after listening to me said no problem, i can have a crew out here today. That's professionalism. They did the job perfectly but still wanted to make sure i was satisfied. As a construction worker for most of my life this company did everything right. Would i recommend them to anyone with foundation concerns. Yes. read more

5 star review for Sunshine! I called three companies for information and a quote, some even gave me a quote over the phone without even seeing the foundation for the work to be performed!? When I spoke to the team at SUNSHINE they were professional, patient and very knowledgable. I had a technician from Sunshine visit my home, he actually went under the house, took pictures and share with me with pictures in hand of what needed repair! They scheduled me and exactly on date agreed upon commenced work on my home. The workers were professional, friendly and hard workers. I was so impressed I bought them all pizza. I would recommend Sunshine in a heart beat! read more

I hired Golan and Sunshine Foundation Repairs for a major seismic retrofit and foundation project on our fully remodeled 3/2 home, and they were phenomenal. What sets Golan apart is his honest pricing and the confidence he has in his own evaluations. While other contractors left loopholes in their bids to charge massive daily fees for unexpected issues, Golan was so certain of his initial assessment that he gave me a flat rate. He put it in writing that any additional required work would be done at no extra cost, taking on 100% of the risk himself. His crew was professional, handled all the LA city permits, covered the fees themselves, and easily passed the final inspection. They even left the crawl space completely clean. If you want bulletproof foundation work with zero nightmare change orders, hire Golan! read more

Wow wow wow loss of words on how honest this company and professional they are wow again. I had a ac leak in my slab foundation and had numerous companies that gave complete bogus. Golan from sunshine foundation stood out the moment he Called me to give me his arrival time. He walked me through my concerns and explained to me in detail what needed to be done and did not need to be done. Couldn't recommend them enough to our friends family and neighbors. read more

We had an excellent experience with Adam at Sunshine Foundation. We needed a quick second opinion for escrow, and Adam was able to come the next day. He was extremely thorough, but also reasonable in his suggestions. He not only had photos to back up his findings, but also a clear and easy to read color coded map of the home that everyone was able to follow. When his bid ended up being incredibly competitive compared to the buyer's inspector, he was kind enough to meet with the buyer's to go over his findings and plans, answering all the questions they had clearly and confidently. If it were my choice, I would hire Adam to manage the foundation work on my home without hesitation. read more

Fantastic On time Went extra mile Technically solid The did solid work to get valve up to level we needed read more

This review is just for the quote and bidding process so far - I just signed a contract with Sunshine. I was referred to them by family and friends who have used them. I have had a similarly great experience and just signed a contract for them both for EBB work as well as additional foundation work. Sunshine sent out an inspector, Adam, within 24 hours. He was very friendly and easy to work with. Then he did an incredibly detailed assessment of the mysterious things that were going on under my house, and explained them to me in a simple way. There was a very concrete plan for how to shore up various parts of my foundation, which is very old. I have been very impressed with their customer service and am looking forward to working with them! read more

Golan and the Sunshine Foundation Repairs team were such a pleasure to work with! They were transparent in their pricing and very fair, giving a better deal than others who up charge. They were able to add 4 helical piers to a corner of our home that had sunk over many decades. No damage was done and they cleaned up very well afterwards. Just a fantastic company through and through and would recommend them to anyone! read more

I first used Sunshine Foundation Repairs when I purchased my home to inspect the foundation. Two years later, I hired them again for necessary repairs and an earthquake retrofit. They completed the work quickly and handled all the city inspections smoothly. While they initially quoted me for some vent repairs, that part was accidentally missed during the initial job. However, they were honest about it, explained they were busy at the time, and kept their word by coming back later to finish the vent and crawl space work. I appreciate their follow-through and professionalism. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend them. read more

Fantastic work, these guys are people of their word. Can't recommend them more highly. Quality work, good value. They are timely and professional. read more

Sunshine Foundation Repairs is quite honestly the best contractor of any kind that I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a lot of contractors. I live in a historic district in Orange County, in a stucco house on a raised foundation. My garage is on a slab foundation which was so cracked and warped that water was pouring in and wood was rotting. I called for a quote and Solomon came out. I was amazed and impressed at his knowledge and that he did not pressure me in any way. I learned that they do not sub out any of their work. I had a million questions. All were answered patiently and respectfully. They handled everything, were on time, easy to communicate with, trustworthy, honest, and a pleasure in every way. Im just sorry they only do foundations. I have done extensive remodels in other homes I have owned and this experience has been by far the best I have ever had. I wish they did bathrooms and kitchens! read more

I appreciated the consultation, the gentle came out with a model showing exactly what a retrofit involves. He also helped me with the Calif remediation program which can pay for part or all of the retro as long as the state offers it. Two or three guys came out and finished it n 1 day for my 1,500 sq ft house. I would use them again and recommend them to all my fam and friends. read more

We came across Sunshine Foundation Repairs after being approved for the EBB Brace and Bolt grant. After receiving several estimates, we chose them because they were thorough, friendly, communicative, and competitively priced. We liked that Solomon was available any time we had questions or needed to talk through revisions. It was helpful that they completed all of the grant paperwork and permits. Easy to work & would recommend! read more

Exterior garage wall was slowing moving away from fountain and knew I needed it fixed. Called Sunshine Foundation and was happy from start to finish. Arrived for quote on time, gave reasonable estimate in writing. Started project on time with 3-4 guys working every day (even in over 90 degrees) Finished 1 day early and clean-up every day. Very happy with their professionalism, service, and finished project - Thanks read more

I was connected to Sunshine Foundation Repair by an inquiry request that I submitted through yelp along with a few other recommendations. My project entailed individual bungalows that were over 100 years old and had significant cracks in the foundation. I initially was getting quotes for a retrofit, but after obtaining multiple inspection reports and bids it was evident that we were going to have to do a full replacement. The Sunshine team was very professional throughout the process, provided a great value (the most competitive pricing) and executed the entire project in a timely manner. They help me secure the permits with the city and passed all the inspections. I had such a great experience with them that I will return to them when I'm ready to replace the foundation onto two additional units. I highly recommend their team for any foundation replacement or retro fitting work. read more
