The Foundations Works is probably the best choice for anyfoundation needs. We noticed several cracksin our home?s foundation so we contacted The Foundation Works for aninspection. Myron came by and conducteda thorough inspection of my home?s foundation and provided many recommendationsto address drainage issues from rainwater that caused several cracks in my home?sfoundation.

I loved them! SO easy to work with, explained everything in great detail, and saved me about $12k. I recommend them to everyone. 

Business response:

"Ooh, I like the "they saved me about $12,000" part, that is fantastic! We have a lot of fun solving foundation situations as cost-effectively as possible, so it sounds like we showed up at the right time for you! Easy to work with? Explained everything in detail? Music to my ears, I'm very glad to hear that your experience was thumbs up, that's what it's all about, the rest is details! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

We needed a quick turnaround because our insurance company would not cover our newly purchased home until the retrofit was completed. The foundation works came through with a seamless job - we didn't even need to be there. They coordinated with the city inspector, and provided us with the necessary paperwork to get insurance coverage. 

Business response:

"Oh excellent, we love a happy ending! Thank you for having us out to take care of that for you, glad you were able to get your policy in place just in a nick of time, do let us know if we can ever be of further assistance to you of course! All the best, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works"

Here is the gist: Anyone who doesn't get a bid from Foundation Works is a complete idiot. Alpha Structural come out to my place and tried to get 100k worth of work out of me (for a house that's only 1200 square feet). I told Alpha that that's crazy. They reduced it to 70k. Realtors told me to get a second opinion. Thank God I did. Foundation Works told me that my foundation is working as it is supposed to and that currently there is no need for caissons. They could've charged me hundred for the assessment but didn't. They co... read more

Business response:

"Thank you for the strong vote of confidence, that means a lot to us and yes, we are happy when we can save a property owner from spending a bundle! I especially appreciate your comment that there should be more businesses like The Foundation Works; as you can well imagine, the great run we've had over now many years didn't just fall into place by accident, it is the dedicated efforts of a full technical and administrative staff who have molded and built TFW into what it is today; when a client then makes such a comment, it ... read more

Our house was sitting on top of the foundation squarely but was not bolted in place. Foundation works had done the initial inspection before we purchased the home, identified the problem, explained it to us very well, and wrote a report that helped us get money back to pay for the work as part of the purchase. The work was done quickly and professionally just before we moved in. So far, the house hasn't moved anywhere. 

Business response:

"I like that comment "so far our house hasn't moved anywhere"...Nor will it now that she's well anchored down! Thank you very much for calling us into action to take care of that for you, we are grateful for having been added to the team of people turning your new house into your new home! At your service, Tom Pelletier, Owner The Foundation Works" Read more

Quote process and work was excellent. I did have a bit of trouble with the finish work. Having never done this before I was unaware that the stucco finish was not covered in the contract and that I need to have an outside company come in to perform the finish work. Probably my fault for not knowing to begin with. Price was comparable to other quotes I received. 

Business response:

"Great to hear that the guys kept it neat and tidy, we impress that upon them but when you're right in the thick of a project, it can be a bit of an art form to be able to simultaneously keep it "neat and tidy"! I trust you were able to have the stucco evolution wrapped up after the foundation? If there is any part of the project remaining that you'd like some assistance on, do not hesitate to contact us, we do have some limits in terms of the very specialized scope of service that we offer, but we definitely could and would... read more
