My husband and I decided to go with all of Brad's suggestions and within a day I was contacted by Myron who was able to fit in our relatively small job between some others they had going on. The next morning 5 young men appeared directly after finishing up another job, proceeded to coordinate my job with Myron (who explained everything to me extremely clearly) and commenced work immediately. I can't speak highly enough about the men who worked here. They were courteous, punctual, clean, didn't play the radio, didn't swear an... read more

It went very well. Work was completed quickly and exactly as detailed on the estimate. Brad Nestler provided the estimate and answered many questions both over the phone and by email. 

Business response:

"Hi there! Well thank you very much for taking a moment to let other Angie's Lister's know that you were happy with your experience, I appreciate very much having been giving the opportunity to take care of your foundation for you! Please feel free to contact us if we can ever offer any further assistance, and thank you again for having put us on your team! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

I called the Foundation Works and (incredibly personable and effective) Marie in their office sent one of their people out who inspected my foundation, explained what was necessary, what was possible, and gave me, though a staggering estimate, the lowest estimate. The work was everything Angie’s List reviewers said – every member of their crew was knowledgeable, articulate, and, as friends at the house commented, uniformly attractive. Be that as it may, the job was done in ½ the time I anticipated, and was not unpleasant (ev... read more

Business response:

"Hi, Well our guys are all blushing over here now, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm always uniformly thrilled to hear that my team has made a great impression! Thank you again for not only choosing us, but for taking the time to validate us to other Angie's members, we greatly appreciate! Always at your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

I'll add to the chorus of great reviews. My house had some *creative* foundation work done prior to my purchase of it, including its mashup of stonework from 1924 and poured concrete from a recent renovation. Seeing obvious problems, I finally decided to have it checked out for seismic reasons. Brad came to do the estimate and spent almost an hour under my house. His report was by far the most detailed of the three I got, and he spent the most time explaining the situation to me. While both of the other companies advised me ... read more

Business response:

"Well hello, and thank you so much for the wonderful validation! I'm always glad to hear that our judgment of a situation was able to bring a job off well, while at the same time saving the client a ton of money! I know that the challenges of your particular project gave the term "bucket brigade" a whole new definition, but I'm glad you are so pleased with the final result, thank you again so much for having chosen The Foundation Works! Always at your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner" Read more

Tom is highly professional, very personable, on time, pleasant to deal with, and easy to communicate with. We would call him again in a heartbeat. 

Business response:

"Hi there, well I was very glad to be able to bring you that good news, sometimes being the messenger is a tough job so it's nice to come across a situation where I get to be the bearer of GOOD news! thanks again for choosing to have us stop by, we are very grateful for your having chosen us to do so! All the best, Tom Pelletier, Owner" Read more

They were fabulous, their pricing was wonderful, and they did great work. They left the place clean, and I would recommend them highly to anyone. I cannot praise them enough. 

Business response:

"Well that is great to hear, so glad we had the opportunity to sort things out there for you! It may sound cliche, but we really do strive to be, in your words, "fabulous, wonderful, and great", so thank you very much for the great acknowledgment, sounds like we're on track!"

I am very happy with my experience with The Foundation Works. I got multiple bids and found their proposal very reasonable for retrofitting the foundation on my newly purchased 1902 house. They were recommended to me by another architect who had used them. It took a good deal of time to close our escrow and I had to delay starting the work, but owner Tom Pelletier was very flexible (and offered considerable moral support) during that time. The crew was exceptional. Once they got started they worked efficiently and foreman, M... read more

Business response:

"Hi, Well the ol' 1902 came a long way, huh?! What a difference down there, she went from a pile of bricks to a concrete bunker and if the house could talk, she'd tell you how much better things are now! Thank you so much for having chosen us to do this project, we know there are many companies to choose from and so especially enjoy the end of a project where a client comes to really realize that yes, we were a good choice and everything went well! I especially appreciate your validation of our individual group members, they... read more

I've worked with Tom in the past. He remains punctual, available, informative, and an overall professional. Truly, I'm not going to crawl on my belly, under my buildings to inspect the workmanship. With Tom and his capable professionals I don't have to either. I received foundation repair and retrofitting 101 as an explanation to the scope of the estimate, and felt very comfortable that the remedial work to be performed would address my needs. As with past experience Tom delivered on ALL of his promises to complete the job. ... read more

Business response:

"Always a pleasure to hear from you, thank you for your strong alliance over these past years! We've had year after year of steady expansion and it is in no small part due to the depth of vision of clients like you. I recall and truly appreciate that back when we were a smaller outfit, you took a chance on "the little guy" and now here we are, and it is truly a new day in every sense of the term! Thank you again for your alliance, it has been a pleasure to have served you on the various projects and we look forward to contin... read more
