Stop searching and call the Foundation Works right now! Let me explain why: I hired Foundation Works right after I bought my house in 2013 because the 1929 foundation was in need of some repair. At the time I did not have the funds to complete everything that needed to be done so I chose just to replace about 20 feet of the foundation at that time. The crew that did that job were excellent, fast, efficient and the work was completed with all the necessary permits. Fast forward to July of this year, I called the company and a... read more

Business response:

"Oh that's awesome, thank you so much, well we similarly enjoyed working with you and I'm so happy of course that you are thrilled with the outcome, that crawl space was ready for a serious make-over! I have shared your comments here with our staff, they have lots to be proud of, this is great stuff and I thank you again for taking the time to put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard...?) Always at your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner the Foundation Works" Read more

This company is top notch. They are professional, knowledgeable and reasonable. First, their inspector, Matt, really took his time inspecting our property, inside, outside and underneath. He wrote a detailed report, explained problems with earthquake and water damage and patiently answered all questions. He gave us a reasonable estimate within 24 hours. We hired Foundation Works to do the job because we were impressed with their honesty, dependability and professionalism. The job foreman and crew came on time and worked dili... read more

Business response:

"Hello there! Well that is all great to hear, thank you for that and of course I am always proud to read such accolades, this was always the intention back in the early days when we were forming the vision and direction of the company. If we can ever be of any further service to you, you now know where to find us! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

This company is a class act. Everything from the inspection to the actual work and final finishes was a perfect experience. Everyone was helpful, courteous, professional and went out of their way to make me happy. This was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend Foundation Works. 

Business response:

"Wow, fantastic, what a great review to read first thing early on a Monday morning! I'm very proud of my team out there doing what we do but the real validation is not in being proud of them, but rather when a customer chimes in with such loud praise as you have here! Thank you, thank you, thank you, fulfillment of your words are what we are constantly striving for! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

Our house is on expansive soil, so that there are occasional cracks in the walls (especially after all this drought). We wanted to be sure it wasn't a foundation problem, so we called The Foundation Works. The initial inspection was done by Myron. He was absolutely super. He spent a good amount of time being sure we understood what he had found and how he felt it should be corrected. He divided the job into 3 separately-priced sections, so that we could decide how much we wanted to undertake. He was very forthcoming when ta... read more

Business response:

"(Removed members personal information) Wow, that is great, we always love to hear a client explaining how happy they are with our team, our methods, and just the overall combined experience of it all, thank you so much for sharing that! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works"

Keith was great. He did a thorough inspection of my foundations (house, garage) and gave me some great pointers. I can't do the work at the moment, but he gave me some great tips and suggestions on how to stave off any future foundation damage and erosion. Great guy, very friendly, very helpful, very professional, and incredibly informative. He was at my house for a good amount of time. No hard sales pitch, at all. A+ When I am ready to do the work, you can bet I'll be having Keith at The Foundation Works do the job. Thanks! 

Business response:

"Oh very good, yes, Keith has a way of soothing the nerves, showing how to ward off the issues as long as possible, and generally doing what he can to best accommodate the situation. We are fortunate to have him! When the time is right for you, give us a ring and we'll take care of whatever needs tending to down under, that's why we're here! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

Bolting was something we really wanted to get right. We got a cheaper quote from another provider, but the work he wanted to do was less in scope, and his inspection was quick. Keith from Foundation Works was highly responsive and did a really detailed inspection and quote, and he explained everything in detail. The team that did the work was available almost immediately, and they were done in not much more than two weeks, after spending nearly a week on site. I was very impressed by the foreman - explained everything as the... read more

Keith was prompt, friendly and professional. He did a thorough inspection of the foundation of a 100+ year old home we were in escrow on, and when he had to deliver bad news (very bad news) he did so gently and thoughtfully. We are grateful to this company for identifying the foundation issues in a detailed written report so we could make the very difficult decision to walk away from the deal. 

Business response:

"Well, it can certainly be bittersweet when we have to inform someone that the 100+ year old house that they are in escrow on has major issues; we love these old houses, "they don't build them like they used to" is quite true, so much craftsmanship of the vintage homes is from a by-gone era. On the flip-side, better to find out during escrow than to buy it, call us out, and get the news after it is already your house...! Unfortunately, we are the bearer of that news more often than we'd prefer. Happy hunting in your continue... read more
