Before proceeding with updating my 1942 house, I wanted to confirm that it was properly bolted to the foundation. Brad from The Foundation Works arrived promptly and, after a visual inspection, proceeded to give an honestopinion of the condition of the foundation. I couldn't see the foundation myself, so it is rare to receive a recommendation that isn't filled with scare tactics. I chose not to have work done, but would highly recommend this company.
Business response:
"Hi there! I'm always glad to hear that my team is providing the exact service that is needed out there, minus any scare tactic nonsense that unfortunately is quite prevalent in the trades. However, with the alliance of a service like Angie's List, I truly believe the smarter companies will rise to the occasion of working towards being better and better and better as time goes on, which is win-win for everyone, including of course the consumer! Thank you so much for having had us out, glad we were able to bring you good news... read more
I received several estimates to repair this foundation but none of them considered that the building was built in 1923 and that I wanted to preserve the original charm of this nearly 100 year old building. The predominate attitude of the other estimators I dealt with was ?why do you want to preserve this dilapidated building? just replace it?. The Foundation Works stood out from the rest of the contractors. Tom (the owner) was willing to invest the time up front with me to give an honest assessment of my situation. I did no... read more
Business response:
"Hello! Well that's great, we love to hear that, and the team had fun bringing the place together...no doubt that the place was ready for major surgery when we started! In that 95% of the 1000's of foundations we correct each year were built between 1880-1960, this IS what we do! Thank you again for having us out, as well as for taking the time to sing our praises, we are grateful for having been "put on your team", see you on the next one! Onward and Upward, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more
i had reada lot of the reviews on angies list about this company and read mostly rave ones , after having them come out to thehouse which i thought for sure was crumbling beneath my feet i can see why. Tom (the owner)came on time, inspected the outer & inner parts of the house before crawling under. upon his inspection when he finally reappeared he told me that the foundation was fine and suggested just some minor fixes that we could do ourselves to alleviate the issue i was having. he couldve sold repair work but was very h... read more
Everything went well. They arrived when they said they would and I haven't seen any issues since the work was done.

We just bought a home that we knew needed some foundation repairs. We were referred to Foundation Works and they were great! Keith inspected the property on a Friday and we had the work completed the next week. All the work was donein less than 4 hours. John and his team were very punctual and overdelieverd on the day the repairs were done. Overall great experience. We will use them again but hopefully we wont need to. :O)
Business response:
"Hello! Well thanks so much for your kind words, we know the great work of Keith and John's team and yet never ever get tired of hearing about it! I hope your move-in to the new place is smooth sailing all the way, thank you again for having put us to work in the direction of making your new house into your new home!

Foundation Works arrived on time for the estimate and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Their estimate was very reasonable for the amount of work that needs to be done, but unfortunately it was out of our budget by more than double. At this time we will be reevaluating what we need to fix and would not hesitate to use Foundation Works in the future.
Business response:
"Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge the service we were able to provide, we will of course be at the ready if and when the time comes that you would like to have those foundation issues addressed. Prioritizing repairs and planning for others is a logical approach; in the meantime, we'll keep doing what we do and when you are ready, just let us know!

The Foundation Works were fantastic on every level that I dealt with them. The receptionist was lovely and asked lots of question to make sure everyone was on the same page. Keith was running early so he called to see if that would be ok. He was very thorough and informative. It looked like we didn't really need any work done but because everyone was so nice we will not hesitate to use them in the future.
Business response:
"Oh hi, wow, that's great, thanks! Well a flat lot mid-century era home in North Hollywood does usually stand a pretty good chance of NOT needing us, but I'm glad we were able to come out and validate that fact for you! Thank you for taking the time to chime in here, we do really appreciate having been invited into your home! Always at your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more
He did a great job. He gave some recommendations on what needed to be done and what didn't need to be done. He even showed us a photo that helped us decide what to do.
Business response:
"Hello there! I appreciate you taking the time to let others know that all was to your liking, it's an extra step you didn't have to take but we certainly appreciate your having done so! If we can ever offer any further assistance, of course feel free to reach out to us! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more
They were prompt, courteous, knowledgable, honest, and turned down payment unless work was needed or requested. I didn't need to do anything at this time except improve water drainage away from the problem area. I would certainly use them for any needed work and would highly recommend them to my friends or anyone who needed their services in the future.
Business response:
"Hello there! Thank you so much for taking the time to chime in, I'm glad we were able to being you the good news that you do not in fact need any foundation correction at present! As good ol' mother nature has all the time in the world though, be sure be correct the perimeter drainage issues to help ensure that it stays that way!
