I consider this contractor to be extremely unprofessional, unreliable and not trust-worthy.
Description of Work: First it took two weeks for Mr Pair to return my phone call and make an appointment. The day of the appointment came and went and no show, not even a courtesy call. I called again the next day and left another message which was finally returned later that day. He came out and I described the issue to which he responded that he really wasn't prepared to to an evaluation, could he come out the next day to do so. He was to call me to make sure that I was at home. Later on that date I got a message asking that I call he that "he needed to speak with me". When I called he stated that he was much too busy and really didn't want my business.

Response from PAIR CONSTRUCTION CO INC dba Pair Foundation Solut
Please note that this reviewer is not our customer. No estimate was given, contract signed or work of any kind done for this homeowner. Unfortunately, after a site visit we determined that our company was not the right fit for this homeowner's problem and he was given the name of another company better suited for his project. In addition, the reviewer shows some confusion in stating that two weeks passed before his call was returned. Angie's List records indicate our company was initially contacted by the homeowner (4/12/2016) and a mere eight days later (4/20/2016) the review was posted. The home was inspected within one week of the initial call. There was not a missed appointment as he indicates. Rather, he was told we could inspect his home on 4/18 or 4/19 and we would call before arriving. He was called on April 19 as promised and the inspection was promptly made. We are very sorry that this homeowner was displeased that our company could not offer him our services and hope that he is able to have his problem remedied by the contractor we referred him to. We will try to contact him to make sure he has been taken care of. Kent Pair Pair Foundation Solutions

Description of Work: They did exactly as they said they would and cleaned up nicely after themselves. I feel confident that I will no longer have any problems from my foundation that were evident when I bought my house 25 years ago and have not had success from other contractors since that time. Feels good to know the job was done right!

Everything went according to plan. The steps are now level. The team is very competent and have alot of experience. Mr. Pair is an expert in his field and went to great lengths to ensure that no water or sewer lines would be in the area where the work needed to be done. I was really impressed with this company. Mr. Pair's 2 sons do alot of this work and are also very knowledgeable. My project was small compared to the huge foundation issues that they deal with, both residentially and commercially. I highly recommend you call Pair Construction if there is evidence and problems with internal or external foundation issues.
Description of Work: My front porch steps had settled (over time) to the point of dropping to a 30 degree angle away from the house and were becoming unsafe to use. The steps also had major cracks that needed repair due to the settling. Pair Construction installed 2 helical piers to support and stabilize the foundation and lifted to steps to a level position. The cracks in the mortar between the bricks was repaired and a new set of steps added to the existing.

Pair foundation came immediately after we called to request a quote. Very prompt with providing us with details of what needed to be completed and how much this would cost. Showed up on time and completed the project in a couple of days. Very efficient with time. Careful not to damage or disrupt any part of yard that was not effected by the foundation issue. Completely cleaned up after themselves and entire crew was pleasant and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Pair foundation installed 14 Helical piers around a section of our home.

All work and repairs went as in the estimate provided by Mr. Pair. At this point, all is level again.
Description of Work: Mr. Pair was punctual on coming to look at what I needed done and provided an estimate with a description of what he was going to do. He and his team arrived when they said they would and began work. Some bushes had to be moved and they moved them for me, when the work was completed, they re-planted the bushes. All work was done in a business like manner without problems.

Description of Work: Kent Pair is an honest man. These days that's quite a compliment to any contractor. They reinforced our foundation, which was sinking. Work was done as promised, on time, and within budget. Clean-up has always been a problem with us - it seems that contractors just don't want to do it. Pair Construction was the exception: clean-up was thorough and complete. This outfit was simply a joy to work with, period. I would not hesitate to recommend Pair Construction to anyone.

Work was started quickly after estimate was approved. Finished in a timely manner even with a rain delay. Final cost was more then original estimate due to have to go deeper then standard on the jacks. This cost adder was clearly explained in the estimate. One side benefit was that some bushes had to be removed which gave my wife another flower bed.
Description of Work: Installed 4 leveling / stabilizing jacks on one end of house.

As a courtesy to take some of the work off Mr. Pair, I called 811 a week or so in advance to have my utilities marked in or near the work site. Mr. Pair and three of his crew members arrived on 08/17/2013 around 9:15 A.M., and quickly began unloading their trucks of the tools, supplies, and the excavator they needed to do the job. I could quickly tell this wasn't their first rodeo, as they each knew their responsibilities and where they needed to be at each given time. One man hand dug down beside the foundation of my house to find the cracked footing. Once that was found he used a jack hammer to remove the concrete applied by the previous failed correction initiated by the brick mason 6 - 8 months prior. Once the area was cleaned out for a clear view a second crew man used the excavator to make the hole beside my house both wider and deeper. After this was complete the third crewman detached the bucket from the excavator and attached a type of drill auger. He manipulated the galvanized base of the pier into the hole and connected the auger which then began screwing into the ground. The crew knows how far to drill when 20 + metal pins inserted into the drill attachment begin to snap and break (this indicates the tension to support my homes foundation has been reached), and they can stop the process. A crewman then disconnects the auger device from the galvanized pole of the pier and uses a type of saw to cut the pole below ground level. Once this is complete a 38lb galvanized metal plate is positioned over the top of the pole, slid down to the base of my foundation and swiveled around to fit under the foundation. The metal plate is drilled into the concreted foundation while large bolts hold the plate to the pier pole. Once this is complete the bucket is hooked back up to the excavator the hole is filled in and they moved to the next spot where my second helical pier was needed to be installed. The process was repeated until lunch time which they used to go back to the shop to pick up some additional pins. Within less than an hour they returned to my house and resumed the process. Within close proximity of the second spot were two fairly large diseased shrubs. I asked if they would use the excavator to remove those for which they did free of charge (even carrying them down to the street for yard waste pickup). After the second pier was installed, and the hole covered they began removing the mortar from the cracked wall, and replacing with a mortar that matched my house better than that previously used by the brick mason. They cleaned up behind themselves, loaded up, and were finished by 3:15 P.M. the same day. Mr. Pair allowed me to pay half the balance then and post date a check for the second installment to be cashed in 30 days. This was a positive project from start to finish, with my only regret being not finding Pair Foundation Solutions sooner.
Description of Work: Mr. Kent Pair came out to my house a week or so before 07/27/2013 to review a settlement crack in the exterior brickwork of my masterbedroom wall. I had previously been working with brick masons over the past 4+ years to have the bricks chiseled out and repointed and tucked. This Never corrected the problem as the crack would always come back. Approximately 6 - 8 months prior was the worst mistake I made as I allowed the same brick mason to dig down to the footing and pour additional concrete to reinforce the foundation. Within a few short weeks of that mans work my wall cracked again in the same spot and with a vengeance. Mr. Pair quickly told me he sees brick masons try to correct the situation by doing this but it rarely works, and that I really needed to have two A.B. Chance branded helical piers. He explained to me how the system works along with what to expect. He submitted to me via email his proposal on 07/27/2013, even though it was not necessary I wanted to be home to oversee the installation of this project.

I was contacted promptly after my request for an estimate to repair my home. Mr. Pair came to give me an estimate the next day. He arrived timely and was very courteous. He took the time to answer any and all questions I had regarding the deterioration of my foundation. He explained exactly what was causing the damage as well as what steps would be taken to eliminate the problem and to make the repairs. I received a written proposal for repairs the same day. He began the repairs exactly when he said he would and completed the work timely. His employees were just as courteous and professional as he was, and willing to take the time to answer any questions I had. They were careful to make sure their equipment did no damage to my lawn and property. My foundation repairs were completed, the access points for water under the house were eliminated and all damaged brickwork was repaired. I am very satisfied with the work they completed for me and would not hesitate to hire them again if needed. They did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Repair to foundation and brickwork at the back of my house. Also, located and eliminated two access points for water entering the crawl space under the home that was causing the deterioration of the foundation.
