I’ve run corporate purchasing departments, so when I buy any product or service over $1k, I get at least 3 bids. I actually met with 4 foundation contractors to bid on stabilizing three spots on my home foundation that were causing cracks in the brick.
Here’s what I discovered . . . Although every one of them quotes differently in how they break down the quote – the bottom line was almost identical – within a few dollars. This is a highly competitive industry and the cost of this work has become a commodity.
So why – out of 4 bids did I chose Anglins. Simple – they were the ONLY really full service firm out there. Three of the others said they couldn’t fix the brickwork after they stabalized the foundation – I would have to find another contractor for that. Two of the others wouldn’t put my landscaping and hardscaping back – I would have to have my landscape company come back and do that.
John Anglin said “Here’s my price, we’ll fix the brick, and when we’re done you won’t know we were here and you won’t be able to tell your foundation ever had a problem.
And he was right.
Anglin’s also didn’t use any FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) in their sales technique. They didn’t badmouth the competition, they didn’t try to oversell me or scare me into buying more than I needed. They just gave me a fair quote and great job.
The crew was amazingly efficient – these guys have worked together for so long they move like a well oiled machine. They put 6 push piers under the foundation in less than a day, fixed the brick, put everything back and cleaned up.
Excellent work – I highly recommend them.
