Description of Work: White Castle preformed as stated and was very prompt. They completed the job on time, the inspector came out as indicated and the job was completed on time. I would definitely recommend the company for house bolting. It was a real pleasure working with them.

Thumbs Down
Description of Work: Owner contacted me right away, Sent out someone to do the estimate within a couple days. I was told there would be a $250.00 estimate fee because I lived out of his area. However he was listed for Orange County Ca. I paid $250.00 at the time his esitimater took the measurements, which was to be applied agianst the cost of the job if I accepted the estimate. I was told they would have the estimate back to me within three day, that never happened, I call the company . I was told the owner was out of town, they had some computer problems, and would get back to me the folowing week. That was the last time I heard from them. Out the $250.00. Very dissatistfied, Seemed like a scam. The gentelman who did the estimate was very nice, was here about an hour. not bad $250.00 per hour

Response from White Castle Construction
Apparently we have a communications failure. You asked me to send someone down to you to inspect your home to see if it is bolted and to fill out an insurance Earthquake form. I told you the fee was $200 to do that and you agreed. My Inspector told you the house was not bolted, nor were the cripple walls sheared, both of which the insurance company requires. And when you asked him how much this would be he told you at least a few thousand dollars and if you wanted an exact number you were to call me. You called me and I told you it was approximately $5000 , and we would apply the $200 (not $250) to this price. You said you would get back to me. Enclosed in case you misplaced it is the drawing, and materials list which he gave you at the time. Please understand that EVERYONE charges for insurance inspections, as most do not require any work. If you wish us to perform the work we will be happy to, please call me and I will be glad to send you down a contract. If you really feel that we have in any way mislead you we apologize and would be glad to send you back your $200. Sincerely Yours Michael Goldberg

Very happy with the outcome.
Description of Work: A complete retrofit and repair of damaged sills/floor joists. The house was 6" off level to one side, and the whole rear sill was rotted. The crew used 55 bags of cement, mixed on site, for new footings. The job took more time then the estimate provided for, but the company stuck by the estimate. The workers coordinated well with other subcontractors on the job.

It took the company 4 days to return my call. I explained I wanted to add a master bedroom and bathroom upstairs. I already have my city approved plans. He insisted that it would be difficult to give an estimate because I wanted everything included.(bath fixtures, toilet, etc..) I was told he would get back to me and he never did.

An initial meeting with a representative of White Castle was very informative. He showed me exactly what was involved in the work, gave me a guaranteed price (the balance of which was due only after a county inspection and sign-off) and offered a six month interest-free payment plan. Not long after I signed the contract and made the ten percent deposit, they placed a 2 by 3-foot sign in the front yard advertising the company. As part of the contract, the customer agrees to leave the sign up for 90 days. It took more than a month and a couple of phone calls after this to get the work scheduled. Once the crew arrived, however, they seemed to work efficiently and completed the job in two days and did a thorough cleanup. When I inspected the work, I noticed that they had also cleared away dirt from all of the post footings under the house - something that I had planned to do myself.
Description of Work: The house was bolted to the foundation and the cripple walls reinforced with plywood.

I would have to say that they probably did pretty good with this job, but I guess you really never know if it was done right until you have an actual earthquake. The company was very good to us. They were good on getting the permits and they showed up as they were scheduled to. They were also very responsive and responsible. I am not sure of the pricing, our insurance company actually paid for it. I believe it was about $5,000 or close to it.

The foundation is holding up great. There have been no questions or concerns with it at all. Everything has turned out as planned and I am very satisfied with it. The workers that had come out to my home were very nice and very well prepared to work. They worked hard, quickly and efficiently. I do believe that I would recommend them to my closest friend. I am not sure what this particular project cost me at the time.
