My first encounter with United Structural Systems company ( USS) was last year, when I had to face the decision which company I go for foundation repair at my house in West Virginia. It was equal bids on my project from two companies USS and Alltek. Unfortunately for me, I made the decision to go with Alltek Environmental Services company at that time. Foundation repair was finished in August 2019 by Alltek (please read my review, that I placed separately for Alltek). 48,000 dollars payment later foundation been done. I finally be able to place my house for sale this year and come to realization, after inspection is done on the house, that it is a presence of water leak in the storage area. I could not believe, how it is possible, when the foundation repair was just done 8 months ago. I guess, things were not done properly after all. After numerous attempts to contact Alltek company, I finally be able to get the response with another promise to “fix it” in the amount of $9,200 or later for free…if I take off my review of their company from homeadvisor.com. Lack of professionalism, poor craftsmanship and PR was major disappointment for me. To be honest, after I been treating inferiorly by Alltek, I did not have any desire to go back to the same company. I was looking for second opinion how to resolve these issues. I decided to reach out again United Structural (who I was hoped to remember me from last year) and explain my dilemma. Bobby K. (Sales Manager for USS) come to the rescue! He was willing to give me his unbiased opinion on the situation. Bobby K, “commander in charge”, went to the house and informed me, that “downspout lines were never installed, the part on top of the ground went nowhere and tie back patch was poor quality”. Simply put it, Alltek did a mediocre job. I immediately made the decision go ahead and proceed with United Structural Systems company for repair of the mistakes. I cannot say enough praise for the USS company and manager Bobby K. This re-du project was done in timely matter, communication was superior ( needless to say I live out of state and it was never an issue), area after the job was clean up to perfection and…the garage/storage area now look dry bone and beautiful. Awhhhh... maybe I should not sell my house after all?! I have a buyer on the house, and I am closing in 2 weeks and can say with all honesty, I could not do that without United Structural help. It was exceedingly difficult situation for me, and it was resolved by USS company with flying colors. Thank you again USS. I recommend you without any hesitation!!! Your company should be proud of to provide such an excellent service and have knowledgeable, competent and skillful experts. Lana Y, Rochester, NY “We are NY tough”

I found them on Angie's List. They were very responsive and called me back right away. They were busy and sent someone out within a week or so. He looked at our property, we had some steps that were eroding and we don't need their services at all. He suggested getting a general contractor and rerouting the water away from our house, the drainage. It was good. It was just an estimate, so there wasn't a charge. Since he couldn't see anything that they could do, then there was no charge. He was very helpful and honest. He was very knowledgeable and I felt he knew what he was talking about. I appreciated that he didn't try to do a service that we didn't need. They got very high reviews.

Came promptly and examined house from top to bottom. Advised several areas that needed attention and recommended corrections that improved structure and appearance. Saved me money that I might have spent on products from other structure providers. His knowledge was very reassuring.

I was contacted by United Structural Systems quickly after I had made an online inquiry for a quote. Within a week, Bobby came and assessed my foundation issue and provided a quote. I was grateful that they were able to start my project so quickly. The crew (Chris, Dan, and Enrique) installed 5 piers around my garage in only one day. They successfully raised my garage over 2 inches and repaired all cracks and crevices in the brick and mortar perfectly. All the guys were respectful, professional, detail oriented, and pleasant to communicate with.
Description of Work: I had foundation problems in the garage of my 1978 brick ranch. Because of the settlement, the brick around the garage had multiple issues - vertical cracking, stair-step cracking, and it was falling away from the structure.

We were told that our foundation was in terrible shape. We wanted a second opinion and called United Structural Systems. United Structural was prompt in returning our call and setting up an inspection date. They arrived on time and the serviceman was very professional. He was mindful of my home and was careful to not track in dirt. He inspected both inside and out, in the basement and upstairs. He identified the problem and told us that our concrete cracks were cosmetic in nature and not harmful to the structural integrity of our home. Others had wanted to do do expensive and unneeded work installing sump pumps etc. The gentleman from United Structural had things that he could have sold us but said it was not necessary at this time. We appreciated his honesty and efficiency. If we should come up on problems in the future, we will certainly call on United Structural and would recommend this company to anyone - even our friends.

Member, This was a difficult situation due to the timing. We had to really push our schedule in hope of helping your sale run smooth. Call us anytime you have a structural or waterproofing concern and we will get there well before the home goes to market. Thank you for your business and taking the time to post your comments.

Everything went as planned; workers were invariably polite, professional and just flatly first rate. They showed up when they said they would, informed me if they weren't coming due to inclement weather, and the job (a considerable amount of work) was done in the amount of time they estimated almost to the day. Concrete replacement work was carefully done. I would add: there was no hard sell, no slick reports: just a professional who came to the house, did the estimate, and stated when the work would begin. They were slightly more expensive than some local firms, but I appreciated that they didn't waste my time suggesting cheaper "band-aid" approaches to what was a very serious problem. They looked at the situation, said what needed to be done, explained everything clearly and succinctly. And, they guarantee their work for the life of the structure.
Description of Work: Excavated the exterior foundation walls down to the top of footing, cleaned foundation walls, applied waterproofing membrane, installed protection boards, installed exterior foundation drain system at top of footing, backfilled with limestone (75%) and existing soil. Installed steel I-beams to stabilize the lateral movement of foundation wall on three sides of the foundation. Removed and replaced sections of concrete needed to extend foundation drain system. Removed and replaced patio.

We were impressed with the sales information and when they began the work to the exterior support system of our home we were equally impressed. They sent 3 guys and they were the best 3 guys we've ever had work on our home. They did great a great job and completed in one day.
Description of Work: I saw and ad about them on a National TV station and we were having a problem with settlement of our foundation and cracking of the exterior support system. We decided to hire them after discussing our needs with them.
