Straight Answers
Foundation Repair — Answered Honestly.
No jargon. No scare tactics. Just straight answers.
Will foundation repair ruin my landscaping?
We're careful with your yard and do our best to minimize disruption, but some digging near the foundation is unavoidable. We'll walk you through what to expect before we start and tidy up when we're done.
Do you offer financing for larger projects?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options to help spread the cost of bigger repairs so you're not stuck choosing between your home and your budget. Ask us during your estimate and we'll go over what's available.
How much does an initial foundation inspection cost?
We charge a $100 comprehensive inspection fee to cover our expert on-site diagnosis. If you move forward with us for repairs, 100% of that fee is credited toward your final bill — so the inspection ends up costing you nothing.
How do I know if I have a foundation problem?
Signs include cracks in walls/ceilings, sticking doors or windows, sloping floors, gaps around door frames, and visible separation where walls meet ceiling or floor. A professional inspection is the only way to know for sure.
Is the inspection fee refundable?
The $100 fee covers our time and expert diagnosis on-site. It isn't refunded, but if you hire us for the repairs, the full amount is credited toward your final bill — so it effectively rolls into the work.
