We've recently experienced cracks throughout the drywall in a house we purchased last year. Seems as though our house has been shifting quite a bit which led us to believe there are foundation issues. After receiving a 18K proposal from another foundation company we called FW. They came out within a few days and were incredible. At no cost Matt came out and provided an incredibly thorough report on why we're experiencing these issues. First off, we have expansive soil and too much moisture is making it's way underneath the h... read more

Business response:

"Hello there! Well in reading your words, it does certainly appear that you were hearing what Matt was saying, controlling water around the perimeter of the home really is a huge part of the equation to what it takes to gt the foundation to hold still! I'm so glad Matt was able to bring you better news that you'd formerly had, let us know if we can answer any other questions and we'll be there when you are ready to button things up sown under! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation WOrks" Read more

It went very well. Showed up on time and finished on time. Very professional, Organized, I had a water aste line break while they were working and they even fixed that for me. although it was just temporarily. Good Company. Would use them again in a flash.

I had a top notch experience with The Foundation Works. The inspector, Brad, showed up on time and performed a lengthy inspection of the property and foundation. The inspection yielded no major issues--in fact Brad indicated that the foundation was in very good shape. My goal was to bring the retrofitting to current code and Brad wrote up a very clear report outlining what that would take. I had several questions in relation to the report and when I posed them, Brad answered promptly and thoroughly. Scheduling the work was e... read more

We just purchased 1940's home that has some fairly slanted flooring. Our home inspection didn't turn up any major foundation issues but because the floors were very indented in one area we wanted to get foundation specialists in to make sure nothing major was going on. Brad was punctual, courteous, and thorough. He spent close to an hour surveying our foundation in, around, and under our house. At the conclusion of the inspection, Brad summarized that there were no major issues with our foundation. Houses move over time, and... read more

Business response:

"Hi There! Well thanks for taking a moment to chime in with the good news, hopefully the plumbers are kind to you and after that, you can get on with the funner parts of home upgrade, stuff you can actually see! If we can ever be of any assistance to you, you know where to find us! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

Brad and the other inspector(sorry i forgot your name), came to my house and got right under the house to a**** the situation, They were dressed in the outfits that one would think becoming of a foundation inspector. They gave me a bid that read like a well written short story about the end of the lifespan of my concrete. I brought in a structural engineer(loaned to me by shai butel, my windows guy), he agreed with Brad's assessment of my issues and told me that the price was a great deal. I didn't hesitate, foundation works... read more

I thought the price was more expensive than I expected but I had nothing to compare it with. I felt that they seem to be professional and know what they were doing so I went with them rather than someone that was cheaper. They send out e-mails that have to about things that have to do with home foundations. They were good. I was pleased with how they worked. I haven’t had any problems with the work 3 years later. They gave me some good information and advice when they were working on it so that was helpful. 

Business response:

"Well thank you so much for taking to time to come back after 3 years to report that all is well, we of course expect that it is but it is also nice to hear it anyway! If we can ever be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out, we'll be here! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works"

I would definately use them in the future 

Business response:

"Hi there! Yes, that happens fairly often and seeing as how we are sometimes "The Messenger", it is a nice balance to be able to also give good news such as, "You actually do not need any work on your foundation"! Thank you so much for having brought us out, I'm glad we were able to set your mind at ease on that! All the best, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more
