We had them inspect and fix some foundation cracks and some other issues. Eric and his crew (Chris B., Chris Brown, Keith and Danny) were great. Arrived on time and completed the work efficiently. read more

wanted to have an EBB retrofit done to strengthen my house, along with some necessary foundation repairs. I received quotes from a couple of companies, and while these guys weren't the cheapest, they were definitely the most knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain how the repairs would be done. They completed the job in just two days and repaired two addional piers, and everything went smoothly. I do have a slight squeeze in one area of the floor in my raised home, and I'm currently waiting for them to come back and take a look at it. I know pier repair is not much complicated but their crew was professional and their price was reasonable. I would highly recommend these folks. read more

Great did an EBB with them. Andrew and his crew were top notch. Left the place cleaner then before and went above and beyond to communicate the process and plan. They took care of all the gov docs and got me scheduled for work three weeks after we decided to move forward. Had four quotes and Foundation Works came out in the middle and glad I went with them. I would definitely request Andrew be your foreman. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely outstanding service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After years of knowing we had to have our foundation done and fearing the worst, their crew handled the job quickly and professionally in just a few hours. Wish we'd called earlier! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Foreman Eric gave us a clear understanding of what to expect[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], Chris came in at 7am with a great attitude and put us immediately at ease, the rest of the crew --Keith, Ryahd, and Victor-- handled biz like champions; the entire process was seamless. Highly recommend! read more

From the initial consultation through the work being done I had a tremendous experience with this company. Guillermo and his crew Ben, Derick, and Mike were professional, clean, and communicative. Highly recommended!! read more

The Foundation Works was truly incredible. They provided the kind of insight and service that makes you want to do business with them because of the lasting gratitude they inspire in you. I've had four (4) foundation inspectors come: the first three telling me completely different things, and the fourth a combination of the previous two. My initial concerns deepening and worsening, i had already succumbed to paying beyond my means to secure what i thought was a shaky foundation. But to my surprise, The Foundation Works offered a breath of fresh air. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Instead of eagerly securing an appointment and then dramatizing "severity" upon arrival, they thoroughly and very clearly communicated the necessary information to book an appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The inspector, Jose, then arrived a few days later, polite as could be, patiently addressing all of my concerns, and thoroughly inspecting the entirety of the foundation. He didn't have any fancy software to measure or sketch up a layout of my house, he didn't try pushing any impressive or proprietary technology, and he didn't use any salesy tactics like offering shortcuts to "save me money." He simply shared a plain yet accurate and comprehensive hand drawn sketch of my foundation, going over a couple of areas that could use a little reinforcing, showing photos for illustration. That was it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Informative and unalarming, it was the most uncomplicated, unhurried, and human interaction of them all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After the appointment, unlike previous inspectors, he securely closed all crawlspace doors and bid me farewell. They showed remarkable integrity and have earned a customer for life. We need to protect and support honest businesses like them. read more

I called The Foundation Works to do some foundation repairs and seismic retrofitting at our house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I found them to be courteous, professional, efficient and communicative throughout the entire process[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. At the completion of the project, they provided photos documenting their work, which looks to me to be thorough and professional. I would highly recommend this company for foundation repairs or seismic retrofit work. read more

Just completed my house foundation with the foundation works. Foreman Eric & the crew was Shawn Danny Keith Jessy They did a great job for me. They communicated really well every step of the way. I felt taken care of with how much detail they took in explaining every step of the sister foundation they put in. I'm so relieved to have my biggest investment protected! read more

I used them for performing earthquake retrofit work on my home in the valley as part of the EBB (earthquake brace and bolt) program. From start to finish the experience was great. They are pros at what they do and it shows at every interaction, be it over mails, phone calls, or in person. I found them via Yelp and after looking at the reviews on Yelp and Google decided to get a quote. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They scheduled and got the inspection done the very next day, took pictures needed for EBB, explained the process, gave me a detailed list of work needed to be done (including what would and wouldn't be covered by EBB), and sent me a quote with options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had spoke to few friends who had used different contractors for their EBB retrofit and these guys were nearly on par. They also only need you to pay only 10% before the job and for permits before the job. They only expect you to pay the remaining (discounted by what EBB program pays them directly) post job completion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also handled most of the paperwork and interactions with LA county (for permits and getting EBB funding approved), clearly instructing me to submit necessary documents when required.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After EBB approval they called me and scheduled the construction work promptly. Eric and his crew (Chris B, Danny, Kieth, Daniel) showed up on the day of the job on time, explained what would happen, about how noisy it would get etc. They setup and tore down everything nicely, and got the job done on schedule without bothering us. The job was spread over two days and they cleaned up and put away their stuff neatly in between. They were even well prepared to get the job done inspite of the SoCal drizzle one of the mornings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eric promptly even sent me the photos post completion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am now waiting for county inspection, but expect that to go through without issues. I would highly recommend them. read more

On time, great work, excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our team led by Eric was Chris, Danny and Kieth. Very good people to work with[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

I'm a contractor myself and I met these guys on one of an escrow inspections we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were very knowledgeable, so I took their information.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast forward I bought a house and they did my inspection. Very thorough, very professional. And the best thing about them - very honest. They could try to sell some services, but their professional opinion was not to proceed with more costly repairs, but to take another aproach which wouldn't require their services and would save money. They chose my interest first and not profits. This shows how good they are. Juan was the person who did my inspection. I really appreciate your time and honesty! I already recommended this company to my own clients and will recommend in the future. read more

Great work on my foundation from these guys. Highly recommend. Eric the foreman and his crew did a great job. Keith, Chris, Danny, and Michael were all professional, kept a clean worksite, [[HIGHLIGHT]]kept me up to date on what was going on[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and finished when they said they would. Would definitely use them again. -Sean B read more

We got done my house with Foundation works. Foreman Eric and the crews Ernesto, Nick, Ryhad and Zander did an excellent job. They showed up on time and the whole crew were very professional. We really appreciate the effort they put in and the quality of their work. Very high recommend this crew. Thank you so read more

From inspection to quote to schedule to work done in under a week. And it was way more affordable compared to what a contractor quoted. Also they gave me photos after the inspection and after the work too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they taught me about the EBB program.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm looking forward to the EBB opening so I can hire these folks again to do my retrofit (I did fixes for now). Special thanks to the inspector Matt and the working crew Eric, Ernesto, Ryadn, Chris and Zander! read more

The Foundation Works - a crack - fixed! - Structural Engineers Near Me - Burbank, California

What can I say, this company is top notch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From knowledgeable inspectors to responsive and professional customer service reps to polite, hardworking and punctual crews, The Foundation Works has the full package[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Our inspector, Danny, assessed the issue with our 96 year-old foundation and came up with the most optimal plan of action. His report/estimate was thorough, detailing the scope of work, the materials to be used, the timeline, and the cost. Once we approved the job, the crew, led by foreman Eric, got the job done in a half a day. Thanks to Eric, Ernesto, Nick, Justin, Ryhad and Matt, our broken joist is properly reinforced and our floor is now solid and level. Can't say enough good things about this company. Highly recommend them. PS we found their pricing to be very fair, considering how detailed the reports are and how many people are involved in getting the job done as well as the quality of work. They don't cut corners! And they have financing options! read more

Really great work from start to finish.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing follow-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would 100% use them again. Thank you again!

From start to finish, these guys from the scheduling department , inspection department, billing department and the repair department were the best professionals I have ever worked with. I could not have been any more satisfied for the prompt and efficient work they did. Thank you Aaron, Tyler, foreman Eric, Ernesto, Zander and Ryahd. SKG, Sierra Madre read more

I first connected with The Foundation Works back in 2021 when we were looking into earthquake retrofitting for our newly purchased home. That's when I met Kent, and what immediately stood out was that there was no hard sell. Instead, Kent took the time to reassure me that our home was already solid and advised that we wait until we were eligible for California's Brace & Bolt grant program if we decided to move forward. I followed Kent's advice, applied for the grant when our home became eligible, was accepted, and, without hesitation, used The Foundation Works for the retrofit. The experience was excellent; so much so that I've frequently referred The Foundation Works to friends. Also worth noting, The Foundation Works provided a reasonable quote back in 2021 (vis-a-vis competitors) and honored the same quote when we ultimately completed the retrofitting work! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast forward a few years... after noticing some cracks in the stucco, I reached out to Kent again. He responded quickly, came out our home on a Saturday morning, and once again reassured me that there were no foundation issues[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Rather than inventing a problem, Kent instead pointed me in the right direction, recommending that we consider a drainage or landscape architect. That's the throughline here: honesty, competence, and trust. My ongoing experience with Kent and The Foundation Works feels far more like working with family than a transactional contractor relationship. If you are looking for capable, straight-shooting experts who genuinely have your best interest in mind, stop looking and call The Foundation Works! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent communication from the start, they told me what steps to take with the online portal and what to expect along the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guys showed up as scheduled and powered through. I'm very pleased with their preparedness and professionalism. read more

From the initial inspection and estimate with Juan to the actual work on retrofitting our house for earthquakes it has been a great experience. Everyone has been professional, courteous and timely. Eric the foreman has great communication and the team of Kay, Danny, Keith and Chris B. were all very courteous, professional and showed up on time. They did a great job securing our home. I would recommend this company for your foundation needs. Kristine H. read more

This is THE place you call if you need Foundation Repair, Brace & Bolting, etc. I'd call these guys first if you really serious to get some foundation maintenance in or just a general update. These guys get it done! From start to finish, the inspection and quote was fair and smooth. I did the EBB program and was able to get that all sorted out without an issue. They even did the paperwork for the EBB State filing bundled into the final price. The foundation-crew that brace & bolted under our home, Foreman Eric, Shaw, and Bryan, did a solid job and kept things really efficient-- including sharing photos of the work after. Everything looked great! We had a slight miscommunication in our paperwork, which happens, but Juan Z was accommodating, remembered our initial agreement and ironed that bump out for us. Can't say give enough credit to how professional the Foundation Works team is. With that said, I think you already found the right guys to work on your next foundation project. Get it done right the first time with The Foundation Works! read more

My neighbor referred me to The Foundation Works after I was accepted into the FEMA-funded Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After I called, we set up an inspection within a week. All went well with the inspection, then they sent a proposal for the work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I accepted, then we had to wait for FEMA to approve. That took about a month. As soon as FEMA approved the plan, we scheduled the work for March 18th. Ernesto and his crew - Edgar, Omar, and Pierre arrived on time and got set up. They were at my home for about 8 hours working. When they finished they cleaned up pretty well. It wasn't perfect, but it's really hard to clean it ALL up with the fine particulate dust that is under my home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We set up the inspection for the work with LA city. Unfortunately, the inspector did not show the first time, so we had to reschedule. This is absolutely no reflection on The Foundation Works; Ernesto was at my home waiting for a couple of hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Finally, on April 17th, the inspector did show up and the work passed inspection with flying colors. I would recommend The Foundation Works for foundation services. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were easy to work with, had great communication from the team, and were on time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you. read more

We recently hired Foundation Works for a seismic retrofit and other crawlspace repairs. We were highly impressed with the entire smooth experience and the final work results. They are by far the most organized and professional team I've worked with. From the initial inspection and estimate proposal by Danny B. to the completion of the retrofitting work, every step of the process was clearly communicated and well managed. ​The team (Danny B. Edgar L., Elmer, Ernesto) was organized, communicative, diligent, and clearly committed to doing the job right. They addressed all the necessary fixes, removed wood debris from the crawlspace at the end, leaving our crawlspace in significantly better condition than before. If you're looking for an ethical company that takes pride in their work, maintains excellent standards, and delivers what they promise, highly recommend The Foundation Works. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]From the first visit by Jose, I got the idea that he was TRUSTWORTHY.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That's EVERYTHING. Not only was the work well done (by Eric, Ernesto, Chris S., and Zander), but Jose gave us ideas on ways to save money by taking advantage of some state grants - yes, please! We now have a better shot against earthquakes thanks to our seismic retrofit. Some of the "competitive" rates we received from other foundation specialists were crazy! Glad to have gone with The Foundation Works. read more

I had an excellent experience working with Danny for my foundation inspection. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly thorough from start to finish. Danny took the time to explain everything he was checking, pointed out things I never would have noticed on my own, and made sure I understood the condition of the foundation clearly. He inspected every area carefully and provided an honest, easy-to-understand assessment along with helpful recommendations. The report he delivered was detailed, well-organized, and included clear photos. It's rare to find someone as knowledgeable, transparent, and dedicated as Danny. Highly recommend Danny to anyone in need of a trustworthy and thorough foundation inspection. read more

I've had a couple of property's foundation fixed and earthquake retrofitted by FW. They are reliable, very fairly priced and they know their gig. I also recommended to family and friends and received stellar reviews from them. They have then recommended FW to others. It's a pleasure to know that to date , they haven't disappointed anyone, quite on the contrary, they have impressed the folks they've worked with. Honestly, one of the few companies that are consistently excellent. read more

I recently hired this company for foundation repair and earthquake retrofitting at my home. Their pricing was reasonable, and the entire process was handled with high efficiency. Thanks to Guillermo's crew, Ignacio, and Skyler for the hard work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also sent over the project photos via email afterward for my records.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very professional--highly recommend! read more

Wanted to begin by thanking my inspector Juan who is not only extremely knowledgeable but very professional as well. He arrived before the expected time which is always a plus. After he was done inspecting the foundation he explained to me the issues the would need to be addressed soon and the potential issues that can occur in the future. Juan even had a sketch that was drawn out while underneath the crawl space! This guys is such a pro and a natural at not only his inspection(s) but providing above and beyond customer service. He answered all my questions and most importantly, gave me peace of mind. He also did a walkthrough of the exterior of the home and pointed out the areas of concern. He did not make me feel like I had to make all the repairs at once but rather, told me what would need to be prioritized. I genuinely thank Juan for his service. -Respectfully written read more

The men worked so hard, did an excellent job, and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks to, Eric, ChrisB, Keith, Chris S, and Daniel read more

I contacted foundation works because they had great ratings, but they informed me that they charge a fee to go out and get a quote for rental properties, so I'm gonna go with somebody else that doesn't charge a fee. And they sponsor an ad that says free estimates! That's a crock! read more

The Foundation Works was recommended to us by our realtor, and they really went in there to make the repairs we needed to do. I also felt it was a fair price, which is rare. Thank you to Eric, Jesse, Shawn, Matt J., Ramon H. and Danny for the install! read more

This is the second property we have used Foundation Works for the required work.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The required work was explained clearly in layman's terms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The team that performed the work on our new home were awesome (Eric, Danny, Chris, Kieth and Victor). Very professional, efficient, extremely polite and very hard working - impressive. I highly recommend the Foundation Works, we are pleased with their work and value in the investment. read more

I called them in for a quote and they were quick at responding. I got someone out here asap and they also were able to get me the quote the next day after the inspection. I ended up going with a different contractor however I appreciate the information I got from Foundation works. It helped me feel at ease with a prior quote I had received and didn't feel like I was being overcharged. Unfortunately foundation works doesn't offer helical pier pads, otherwise we would have gone with their service. Regardless they were very thorough, professional and knowledgeable. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]As usual, Foundation Works was efficient, and had quick replies to my questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I cannot comment on value, as I did not "shop around" (I had used Foundation Works' services in the past). They provided photos of the "before" and "after", making it easy to see the work they had done. I would definitely ask for their services again! The team that did my work this time included: Eric ( foreman ), Zander, Riyadh, Ernesto, Nick -- THANKS GUYS, Nice job! read more

They will take the final payment from EBB directly, which is great (some contractors don't). read more
