They did a free inspection and wrote a detailed report of their findings. The repair work was professional as expected. They arrived on time, took a couple of hours and provided pictures of the job done. Very satisfied! 

Business response:

"Very good, well it sounds like your foundation was in pretty good shape to begin with, that's not always the case! I'm always glad to hear that a client is very satisfied, there are so many moving parts to what we do and yours is another reminder to me how fortunate we are to have the people forming up our group here at TFW that we do! Thank you again for having brought us into your home, we appreciate the vote of confidence greatly! All the best, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

I got quotes from three contractors to fix our foundation. We went with the Foundation Works even though they were a little more expensive because they also suggested running a new support girder under part of the house that had been remodeled and we figured this was a good idea given the age of the house and the nature of what had been done (heavy kitchen installed). The guys who did the work were great. Work started on time and was finished within three days just as quoted. I work from home and was around the entire time t... read more

Business response:

"Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to jot your thoughts, that is much appreciated! I'm always glad to hear that a new client is glad to have chosen us, so thank you very much for the vote of confidence. Regarding the extra concrete poured, we feel like once someone "puts us on the team", it's nice to find a way to do something extra as a further way of saying thank you, so it sounds like my guys found a way there! As for the wood stakes, please by all means let us know if that translated into any costs via the p... read more

The inspector, Keith, did a good inspection. He was on-time, if not early, drew out the perimeter of the house while waiting for the set time and gave me his opinion about the foundation and what to do and what not to. Based on the inspection I proceeded to close escrow. I continue to learn a lot about protecting the foundation from Tom P.'s emails afterwards. 

Business response:

"Congratulations on closing escrow, that is always an exciting time and simultaneously, a relief to put behind you! I'm very glad to hear that Keith did his usual thorough inspection and of course that our occasional mailings to you are helpful to you in terms of getting steadily more and more educated about all things foundation related! If there is anything we can do to further service you, please feel free to reach out and let us know, we are always interested in ways to become even better! At your service, Tom Pelletier,... read more

I've owned three houses over 100 years old, so I'm used to large complicated projects with unexpected complications. This project went extremely smoothly. Although it went a little beyond the deadline, it did not go over the contracted price. The work done was excellent. Even the city inspector commented on the superior quality. And the best part was the workers and our interactions. Christian and his crew were respectful, polite, helpful, good communicators, made sure everyone knew even the slightest detail. Every one of th... read more

They were on time, prompt, did a good job, explained their findings, and were very professional. I would definitely recommend them. 

Business response:

"Short and sweet, right to the point, I love it, thank you so much for the kind words about our group here at TFW and of course we are grateful for the opportunity to have been called into duty by you! Always at your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works"
