American Structural Services LLC

Mark was very professional and very knowledgeable. He did a full inspection under our house to diagnose the issues and came up with a plan to remedy the problems noted. He was here when he told us he would be and he and his team were very courteous.

Mark was great to work with! The concrete foundation to our sunroom was in need of repair. Mark quickly identified what was required to repair the problem and he fixed it! It looks GREAT! We are so happy. If we ever need concrete work again we will definitely hire him! He is very professional and knowledgeable! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND American Structural & Foundation! Great company with integrity!!!!

Mark and his team were awesome to work with. He is very knowledgeable, professional and a has strong integrity. He walked us through the whole process of how he was going to level our foundation and ensured we stayed in budget. His prices are very reasonable and the work is great. I highly recommend him and will be using him in the future.

I would recommend Mark in a heartbeat. He's honest. He could have told me I had problems that I didn't have and I wouldn't have known any better. He spent over an hour going over my house in all the problem areas and said that the problem wasn't my foundation. The crumbling concrete was from the rebar rusting inside the concrete, causing it to expand, crack and crumble. I had the same issue on a couple of window ledges. The problem with my blinds turned out to be a problem with tile. 4 tiles at one end sounded hollow underneath and had raised slightly, causing the blinds to press against them. Since they do concrete work, I asked him if he could repair/replace the concrete base for the door and the window ledges and he told me that he could, but that I would be much better having someone else do it. He said he would have to charge me double what others charge because his rate is based on foundation work and that's the rate he would have to charge. He even told me that the repairs I needed shouldn't cost more than $500 with a regular concrete company and that if someone tried to charge me more they were ripping me off. So he gave me an honest inspection (free) for over an hour, suggested I have someone else do the repair work and even told me how much I should expect to pay with someone else. I've never met another contractor with such good business ethics. The only weak point (and it's a stretch) is that sometimes it takes him some time to get back to you. But to me, even that is a plus, because that means he's in such demand, and after meeting him, I can understand why.

I just wanted to say the owner of this company spent at least 30 minutes with me to help me determine the type of service I needed as he didn't do this type of work. He actually told me to call him back with the cause, price, name of company and he would advise me, which he did. The leak was actually caused by a small opening in the valley between tiles on my home. This man was so kind to help me with his time that I felt I needed to let potential customers know there are businessmen out there that are honest and care.

We recently purchased a 100 year old bungalow that had sagging floors. I contacted Mark and he came out in a reasonable timeframe to evaluate the problem and provide an estimate. While there he educated me not only on what the problem was but also what I could expect from other contractors. Everything he said about the competition was true and Mark was substantial less than the competitors. The job is great, Mark was very concerned about minimizing the damage to the house from moving the floor up 2 1/2 inches. We couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend American Structural Services.

Mark and his guys came out and completed the first phase in several days. I had to go out of town for several weeks and Mark waited until I returned to complete the job and I couldn't be happier with the results and peace of mind that I felt in dealing with an honest and knowledgeable person.

It as very positive overall. He was fair. We had talked over the phone. I told him the situation with my house and he said according the work he has done in the neighborhood it would be almost 30,000. I wasn't going to do it. The price wasn't bad I checked with other people with other places.

Very disappointed since this company had so many great reviews and ratings. Called and left a message. Next day received a vmail from Mark that he was at a jobsite and available for the next 15 minutes but he'd call me during lunch. Called back immediately and left a message on his vmail. Never heard back from him. Called again and left another vmail the next day. Radio silence to this day. I guess these guys are just too busy to need any work.

Mark came out and was very honest about working on a stucco home that was framed in wood and all the problems that can result once he got started. He suggested another company that may have more time to work on it than he would be able to commit to.

Left message 2 days ago on voicemail. No returned call

Perfect. This was Mark & team's third trip over 2 years - I had a very bad foundation in my 1926 Craftsman style house and asked Mark to break the work up into three phases so I could afford it. This was the last phase. Just like the last two times, they were prompt and courteous. Mark takes the time to explain what they're going to do and how it's going. The end result is excellent. My house which once had almost 3" of sag is flat once again! Cleanup was excellent. I highly recommend them.

We can't say enough good things about Mark, the owner. We recently purchased a frame home built in 1937 and shortly after purchase realized that the house had settled pretty significantly, more than our contractor originally thought. We called around for a few different quotes; one guy made us nervous about how much he really understood about the issue and the other, a friend of ours, was concerned it would be in the tens of thousands of dollars and take a month to complete. We called Mark because he is the highest rated here on Angie's List and we wanted someone who really knew what he was doing and had an honest reputation. He did not disappoint! He was actually already familiar with the property, having been out to give the previous owner a quote. He started work within a week and was done in a few days. The difference in the house is very noticeable, a marked difference from where we began and we feel very good about the quality of work he did. He stayed in touch with us through the whole process to make sure we understood how the work would affect the existing structure and to give us progress reports. We really couldn't recommend him any higher, he inspires a lot of confidence that he knows what he is doing and he only does the work that needs to be performed. He could have added a lot of extra stuff that we didn't need to run up our bill; we were braced for a much higher-priced repair job and he was aware of that, but he runs an honest company and it shows. We definitely recommend you call Mark if you have any issues with your foundation!

I emailed Mark through Angie's List. It took him a couple of days to respond which I have no issues with. We spoke over the phone and scheduled an appointment that was convenient for both of us. On the day of the appointment, he spoke with me regarding my foundation concerns and we did an interior walk-thru of my home. After we spoke at length, he went into the crawl space and thoroughly inspected the beams and piers. When he came out from the crawl space, we walked around the home and looked at the foundation together. Mark knows foundations! He suggested a support beam along a wall that was not being supported (this is where we could visually see the sag and feel the floor bouncy). He also suggested a support under one of the bathroom (this is where we could also see the sag). He provided an estimate on the spot, one that we were satisfied with. The next day Mark emailed us an estimate that we signed and agreed to. We communicated with Mark thru text and made an appt to have the work done. Mark came out did the work as discussed. We had a small amount of cracking on the ceiling and door frame which can easily be patched up--Mark told us ahead of time that this would most likely happen. The area that he added the support beam now feels firm. I think it made a huge difference. My husband and I are happy with the work and would definitely call Mark back if needed. My home is a one-story 1952 ranch with a crawl space--approximately 1500 square feet.

I called twice. Left two messages and never got a response. I need foundation leveling and called because of the good reviews and similar work.

Overall, the project went very well. Mark supervised the project personally to ensure a high quality, on-time project.

We had severe termite and water damage on a large structural beam on the side of our house. Mark came out, began the work, found out there was a lot more that needed to be done with this project (the whole huge beam was just falling apart) and took care of it without charging us any extra huge fees. He also climbed under our house a few times, looking for other potential issues that he could fix for us, gave a ton of advice, and will be back to put another "placeholder" beam in. Our house is almost 90 years old, so it needs a lot of work, but we know we have a great company here to rely on.

I would not hesitate to use American Structural Services again. Mark is a thorough and nice guy with a polite crew. I initially called another top-rated Angie's List provider and was shocked to get an estimate that was SEVEN times that of American Structural Services. Please note that this other provider merely stuck his cellphone through a hole in the floor and only filmed the damage! Mark crawled under my house in 90 degree heat to give me an accurate estimate. Dirt and bugs don't scare him (rather a good trait in a foundation guy). He is no frills and gets the job done.

not good. never resonded to two messages and three calls total over three days. On vacation? have a message stating so or have a message service let me know. Too busy? good for you.. but you could call back at least.

Mark is a very pleasant hard working owner that gets down and dirty with his crew. He came to my house and did a thorough walk-through, took some measurements with his laser, and crawled under the foundation himself. He knew that I was in a bit of a hurry to start work on my house and he was able to accommodate me within a week and a half. He ended up fixing, and replacing some of the columns and leveling the house the most he could. His estimate was very reasonable and came in lower than what others had quote me due in part to him not believing the work I was quoted by others was necessary at the moment. I feel pretty good about the job performed. The crew was very clean, and professional even going the extra mile and hauling some trash I had in the backyard, tossing the siding I no longer wanted, and even advised me about an open drainage I had. He got some tools and unscrewed the broken cap so I could easily place a new one. With Mark you get a very personable service, which make me wish he was an electrician, and a plumber as well because I would hire him in a minute.

After getting in touch with owner and speaking to him, as agreed i waited for him to get back to me and arrange a viewing time, this has not happened, I left another message on his phone and still no reply. When I get back from Europe I will have to look for someone else.

Mark was a good guy, he gave me my Angie list discount and then when I needed him to come back, through no fault of his, he gave me an even deeper discount because I was repeat business. I trust what he was doing and know my foundation is much more stable now than when I started. Unfortunately , I will probably have to have additional work done in the future but I know who I will be calling!

Mark was very responsive to my shortened time-frame for repairs due to selling my home. He was able to reinforce a sagging area of the floor with two piers and jacked up the home 1/2 to 3/4 inch on either side. Very professional and listened to my concerns and offered viable solutions to repair. Work was done in one day. I would highly recommend Mark based upon his professional knowledge and demeanor.

It went very well. Mark is a very nice, conscientious person who takes pride in his work. He was punctual and did the job in a timely manner. We thought his fee was very reasonable considering the amount of hard work involved. He was nice enough to fit us in to his very busy schedule, because we needed the work done before the closing date on our house. We were slightly concerned about the possibility of cracks in the plaster wall as a result of the house being jacked up. But there was not a single sliver to be found. We highly recommend Mark and his assistant.

It was a fantastic experience. I called Mark because I knew I needed foundation help. The floor in my house runs to the middle, pretty much from all directions. I had been in the crawlspace enough to know that it was likely to be a significant effort. Mark came and evaluated my property, worked out an estimate for the entire job. When I decided I couldn't tackle it all with one check and asked him to see about doing it in two or three pieces, he obliged and made a recommendation on an approach to tackle the most severe concerns first. This effort is what I would call phase one of what I hope is two phases. In this phase they completely removed and replaced the piles across the back of my house and up a ways on one side. These piles all had a significant lean, which caused them to appear to be close to falling over. Mark's plan and estimate included evaluation of existing piers and reuse, with a fee associated with any pier that could not be reused. They jacked up the back of my house, dug out the old piers, showed me what the found and their recommendation, which was to replace. I had to agree as they were in pretty bad shape. Upon completion of the work the back of the house is now level and I'm resting comfortably knowing that they aren't about to fall over. In reflection, I can't believe how fast they worked and how much the accomplished each day. Better, Mark took the time throughout the job to keep me informed and share what they were seeing. Bonus: Mark suggested that some of the lean may have been caused by the drainage in my yard, which had been altered by a prior owner about ten years ago. He offered to come back with a load of dirt, and did so about a week later, to build a swale to help direct the water away from the house (and foundation). Bottom line: I'm saving my nickles to get the rest of the house corrected so that I can finally start thinking about replacing these 90 year old windows. You can bet that I'll be back to American Structural Services once my pile of nickels is enough to do the rest of the job.
