CRAFTSMAN FOUNDATION REPAIR

Larry and his team are true professionals who did a great job on every portion of this project. I recommend Craftsman Foundation Repair most highly! I am very, very demanding about the quality of work done on my house, and Larry's team exceeded my expectations in every way. Larry was extremely responsive and very flexible about adjusting work to accommodate other projects occurring in the work area. Larry's team was always courteous, and completely cleaned their work area at the completion of every day. Craftsman foundation repair made our experience as good as it could have been. Having worked with many construction contractors, Craftsman Foundation Repair provided the best experience and highest quality work I have seen yet. Larry and his team are highly recommended!

Larry and his team showed up on time and did the job according to Larry's initial estimate. All the guys at the site were friendly and professional. The job took about 3 weeks but we never felt that our lives were interrupted. Whenever we had questions, the guys were guick with their answers. Overall it was a great experience.

Craftsman Foundation Repair was absolutely awesome! An incredibly honest company that thoroughly explained all of our questions and provided excellent suggestions. Turns out we don't need foundation repair at the moment, but if we ever do, Craftsman Foundation Repair is the first person we will call!

They did a very nice job, and the foundation now seems stable. I would absolutely hire them again.

I was pretty stressed when I realized that my house needed foundation repair. The took the stress away because the process went so smoothly. Larry is personable, helpful and informative and his team were friendly and fabulous at their trade.

I have recently begun to experience water leaks in my basement and called Larry to review the situation and provide me with suggestions, recommendations and referrals for how the situation might be repaired.

Very professional service. I highly recommend looking at their website for background information before you call this company (or any other) for great helpful explanation of terms and issues with foundations. Prompt service, on time, great communication on issues to worry about and which ones were typical in age of house; great team -- a real pleasure from start to finish.

Noticed a crack in our tile which turned out to be crack in our slab. Called Craftsman Foundation Repair. Larry Teves came out examined what we could as most of the area still was covered in tile. He explained the repair process, time and price. The price was much less than I had feared. When the tile was removed it turned out that I actaully had four cracks. Larry came back out to examine the cracked area adjusted the price by a modest amount. Very professional and customer friendly. Work was done on schedule.

I couldn't be happier. It was a very long process (9 weeks) but it was also a huge job and the guys made it as easy as possible on us.

For such a long job, they made it as pleasant as possible for us and were very professional, which we greatly appreciated.

Larry came out to investigate a home inspection report that indicated extensive foundation issues. Upon his review, the foundation was in good repair, but had a few places that needed strapping and seals. He performed the work about 2 months later. Work was completed in 3 days and they did a very good job. We had 2 other companies assess the situation. One said $0 and one said $11k. Larry had a super reputation and we trusted his judgement to make the proper repairs without going overboard.

They were very responsive to the small job that we had. They were very timely and efficient.

They are doing a great job. They are more expensive but they are also more thorough. I feel I am getting more than I am paying for.

They gave a very fair bid (compared to other foundation experts we called), showed up when the said they would and finished on time. If anything, they did more work than they originally said and there were no additional charges over the initial bid.

The estimate was reasonable and they seemed knowledgeable. I went with another company because it was more of a full service construction company; there is no reason not to use this company. They were very prompt, I got the estimate quickly, and they seemed very professional.

Larry Teves was creative in deciding on a plan of action. I had another foundation repair company look at the problem, and they walked away without knowing what to do.

We're waiting for a second bid before we make a decision. I've had past contact with them to evaluate other foundations. I was pleased with what their evaluations were. If your foundation has another 20 years on it, they'll be honest with you.

Larry was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. He answered all of our questions thoroughly. It turned out that the horizontal crack we were worried about was due to the stucco de-laminating and had nothing to do with the foundation. Larry did find another minor vertical crack that we didn't know about, and explained it was normal for a house of this age. He went on to tell us that it could be fixed with an epoxy fill (approximately $2000) but that we would need to fix it if we were getting ready to sell the house, but the repair really wasn't necessary if we weren't selling, which we're not. He went on to say that in his opinion we should be putting that money into the kitchen project. What an honest, forthright guy! He'll be the first an only person we call if we need foundation repairs in the future.

We bought this house in the end of May. The house is 100 years old and it is on a 100 year old cement block wall. They did a great job. Everybody I spoke to recommended them. So I did not call anybody else. I called him even before we bought a house at asked him if he would do an inspection. He checked his records and told me that one of the previous owners had had an inspection done. They had not had any work done. He sent me a copy of the report he had sent to the previous owner for free. He came and looked at it. He gave me an updated report. He briefed me about some options which he had not offered them. He gave me a set of 3 different options as to how I could approach the whole thing. The concrete block had grout missing in between the blocks. The one side that was close to sprinklers and sunshine was crumbling away. The concrete blocks were made of dirt from the site itself. There were several piers holding up the house under the main beams. He said that these beams were smaller than they should be and were not able to support the house. He said we could do 3 different levels of things. We could just do the outer perimeter. He said they could replace the piers and footings under the house which we did. He said this will be good for about 20 to 30 years. If we wanted it to last for 100 years, it could just lift the whole house and replace the entire foundation. The third option was that we could look at the house to check if the floors were sagging and straighten them out. There was the risk of cracking the walls. It depended on what we wanted to do. They did a great job. We were delighted with them. Everything was perfect. They were here every day. They were nice, friendly, polite and helpful. They did the work right away and apparently they did it right. We were totally happy. We had one old electrical circuit that kept tripping. Since we did not live there, we ended up leaving the house unlocked so that they could go in and pop the circuit breaker. One of the guys broke a water pipe while digging. They immediately called a plumber and had it fixed. It started leaking again in July which was 3 months after the work was completed. They were long done and gone. We had paid for the job. Everything was finished. My husband asked me to call them because it was their fault that the pipe broke in the first place. I called them. They took the responsibility and called the plumber again and had it fixed within two days. They agreed that it was their problem and they took care of it. We spent $20,000. We did not compare the price. It was high but it was a major job. The quality was good. They came; they did it and went away. I would use them in the future if I had a need and I would recommend them to others.

Craftsman was extremely polite and punctual. Larry spent the time to explain what he observed and provide good information regarding foundation repair. He even offered a lot of good suggestions regarding how to keep the foundation in tip top shape. We have also heard great things regarding Craftsman foundation from our home inspector (who was highly rated on Angie's list) and from a structural engineer who was highly recommended to us. It was quite obvious to us that Larry and Craftsman foundation is a first rate company.

The work went very well; they did an excellent job. They were very responsive and did the work quickly. They cleaned up the job site very well, and the price was right.

Larry was professional from beginning to end. They were able to start the work within a week and complete the work in a 5 days. Once they began work they discovered some additional damage that was not visible when the quote was given. Larry came forward immediately and said there was no extra charge, as it was something that he could not see when he made the estimate, and it was not to large, so included it without a price increase.

It was easy to get an appointment. Larry was on time, very friendly and very honest.
