Based on the report, we engaged Foundation Solutions for the repairs. After a quick call for an appointment, I met with Collin to go over all necessary repairs.

The quote was very reasonable and I quickly went with them. Scheduling the work was also easy and only took the crew a couple of days to complete the job. Great experience overall!

Brett came out to do an assessment on our entire foundation and his finding was consistent with our own inspection report. Their recommendation is also on par and we find that Brett is quite knowledgeable about the scope of work. He is also very patient, responsive and respectful throughout the estimating project while we took a long time to decide, a lot of follow ip questions and requests. Not once that I felt rushed, pushed or disrespected. The team kept me informed on the timeline of permit, project starting time, inspection and completion, everything was transparent. They passed inspection without problemsx Our foreman is Humberto who was polite, dependable and kept me well informed on the work they performed the day of, when they finished work and provided needed before and after pictures. I also find their pricing is reasonable compared to other companies that we interviewed with the experience that far exceeds their piers. Overall I had a good experience with the crew. They are polite and really didn't interfere with our life that much while they work. I would recommend them for all foundation repair needs. Be careful because lots of foundation companies will scam you, just because you will not be able to see what they did underneath your crawl space. The last foundation company came out to fix our house they made a bunch of noise for 2 weeks, said they are done and then we hired an independent inspector and confirmed they did nothing. Spend the money on a good company. This one is probably the best one ( we interviewed 6 companies)

On the whole I give Foundation Repair of CA high marks. But first, I'll offer an observation…read morehaving nothing to do with that company. Foundation repair involves a lot of digging resulting in a good deal of dirt piling up. Do it during a rainy spell, and there will be mud - lots of it. You have been warned. Avoid scheduling during the rainy season if you can. Let me start with several complaints. First, Foundation Repair should have been a bit more attentive to clean up. Finding a discarded plastic water bottle in the crawlspace maybe isn't the worst thing, but for the healthy-sized check I had to write for the work, a bit more attention to the finishing touches would not be asking too much. Likewise, for finishing touches, I was left with a significant problem. Part of the structure of my deck required removal to do the work. Foundation Repair said they'd repair the structure when done. They did so but, as I discovered after they were gone, the job was so badly executed I had to redo it on my own. Fortunately, I had the necessary tools, but at the age of 78 and working alone, this was a major undertaking. In retrospect, I should have demanded they return and do it right. Now, on to the positives. First a major shout out to Foundation Repair's Christopher Gerrans who gave me some major assistance in getting prepared for the work. He went far, far above and beyond what I expected to help me out. Foundation Repair management, do please remember this when bonus time comes around. I had a lot of trepidation about getting a bid for this work. Foundation repair is an expensive proposition. I was impressed (and relieved) when I was presented with a comprehensive three-tier set of job plan options (I ended up opting for the most expensive). My point is that Foundation Repair (specifically, Mr. Gerrans, again) did a great job up front in helping me to understand what my options were. I was quite impressed with the technology employed to shore up the house. Does it work, though? Well, if the house is still intact a half century from now, then the answer is yes. So, only time will tell if the work was effective. But it certainly looked like a solid and dependable solution. The work was done in timely fashion, and communication was good throughout. Foundation work is an expensive proposition, but I think I got my money's worth from Foundation Repair and would not hesitate to recommend them.

He's a great communicator and has been really patient with all of my requests. He is very accommodating and has explained his approach to solving issues with my house to me, while offering different solutions and trade-offs when necessary. As with many older homes, unexpected issues have come up along the way, which expanded the scope and cost of the project. However, he has been proactive and efficient in getting the additional work scheduled and completed promptly. His expertise has been structural work, but has also helped me with clearing code violations, resolving plumbing issues, electrical issues. You'll be in good hands with Jose and his crew.

I would like to thank Jose and Junior for their great work…read more I shared my concern about rainwater coming toward my house during heavy rain, and about the drainage hole that is often blocked by leaves or by people purposely dumping their dead leaves. Jose designed and fixed the area in a way that properly blocks the water and also looks very nice, clean, and professional. On the last day of the cleanup, they cleaned everything very well. Junior is very friendly, and just like Jose, he is very helpful. Jose is not only experienced in concrete work -- he also has experience handling many different types of issues. He is very patient in answering questions and clearly explains what he is doing and why it is done. I truly appreciate their hard work, and I will definitely work with them again in the future.
