Since encapsulating our crawlspace about two years ago we noticed some uneven areas in our floor. I contacted Anglin’s for an inspection and quote. From the first, my experience was very positive. Jill, who answered the phone, was cheerful, friendly and professional.
When Gus came out to inspect our home, he arrived on time and was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Gus spent about an hour and a half carefully inspecting our home. First, he listened to information about the history of our home and our concerns about changes we were noticing. Next, he checked the inside for any signs of cracking or other evidence of shifts in the foundation. After that, he took measurements throughout the first floor of our home to determine precisely the amount of unevenness, if any, existed in the level of the floor. Finally, he spent a good deal of time in our 4 foot high crawl space carefully inspecting the foundation, support beams, floor joists, sub-flooring, etc.
Throughout this time, Gus patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions. Ultimately, he recommended that we not do any structural repairs at this time. He said if it were his home, he would take pictures of the minor cracks in the walls, repair them, then keep an eye on them to see if they reappeared. If they did, he said he would be happy to come back out or, if I felt more comfortable, I could hire a structural engineer to assess the issue and make recommendations.
Although he could have recommended repairs which would have benefitted his company, he did not. I am impressed with his knowledge, thoroughness, professionalism and integrity. If we do need foundation work in the future, I will call Anglin’s.
