I needed foundation work on my porch and did a lot of research about companies in this field. It didn’t take long to realize there are many companies who claim they can do the job but then result in failures and disappointed customers. Since often the problem of foundations is difficult to truly assess up front and know if the jacks or expansion materials will be able to raise a sinking area, you can’t get any guarantee from the companies that they can raise a sunken structure back to its original state. They only guarantee to stabilize it at its current level. So once they begin the process, if their solution does not work, you may be paying for no visual improvement. That’s real unsettling when you’re talking about thousands of dollars with no guarantee it’ll look better or even be brought back to building code height standards. The other thing I learned is often most companies quotes don’t include the finish masonry work that is usually necessary to finish the cosmetics of the job.
After talking with several firms I chose Anglin’s based on good reviews and a good gut feel after meeting with their sales guy Gus. He did a good job of explaining things and even came out twice to go over the job. Frankly, their quote was 20% more than another large competitor, but I felt justified because it included the masonry work.
End result, the crew led by Iggy showed up bright and early on schedule and did an outstanding job. They are very customer-centric and truly wanted to satisfy us and permanently fix the problem. Most admirable is the fact that, indeed one of my problems was not curable using their standard approach and without hesitation Iggy moved to another approach that cost them quite a bit more time to complete.
I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend them to others.
