Avalon Structural Inc

The foundation of our home in Oak Hills (North Monterey County) was settling. The repair would be a complex undertaking. My wife and I had two separate contractors come in to evaluate and bid on the foundation repair. Both of them said that the job was beyond their capabilities, despite having repaired numerous other foundations. After a prolonged search, we found two companies that were willing to submit bids for the work. One company was from Livermore and the other was Avalon Structural out of Santa Cruz. The bids were close to each other in cost, but the Avalon bid incorporated a lot more structural reinforcement of the foundation. The foundation repair company from Livermore was going to use a coiled steel support and would not guarantee that they could get the foundation level. Avalon Structural used an inordinate amount of galvanized steel pilings driven deep until they met the required resistance to prevent settling. This is a much stronger type of foundation support. In addition to the steel pilings, Avalon’s bid also included a massive steel reinforced concrete support that ran about half the length of the house. Avalon also guaranteed that they could get the foundation level. We decided to go with Avalon and are very happy we did. Roger, the owner of Avalon Structural, met with me personally. We crawled under the house together as he explained in detail the plans for the repair that had been submitted by the structural engineer, his son Dylan. The construction crew was hard working, pleasant and clean. By clean I mean that the construction area was always left clean and organized at the end of the day. The repair took over a month with a daily crew of four to six men. When the work was complete, our floors and foundation were absolutely level. Now, approximately two years after the completion of work, our foundation has not moved at all. As a result of our experience with Avalon Structural, I can and do enthusiastically recommend them to anyone considering a foundation repair in the area. I don’t think you will find a company that can do a better job than Roger and his team at Avalon Structural. Five out of five stars! Dave Johnson Oak Hills, North Monterey County.

They did a great job in doing some preventative reinforcing of the foundation. They were reliable and they fulfilled their contract properly. They did everything we expected them to do. They were friendly and trustworthy.
