Description of Work: We had to have the stone foundation of our 115 yr old 3-story home in Tower Grove braced with 23 piers, due to the terrible drought in 2012. The particularly intense clay composition of the soil on our lot further exacerbated the problem. The combination of these was a perfect storm to cause cracking on interior walls, and in exterior brick. We had several companies come out and bid, but only Freeman would tackle the job because of an older system of bracing blocks under the front wall, which further complicated the job. | |After 3.5 months of digging, excavating, and then driving piers down to bedrock from inside the basement, we were confident that the problem was solved in the best possible manner. However, the difficulty of demolishing and excavating portions of the large blocks from a prior attempt at fixing settling drew the process out more than double the time originally estimated. Likewise, the cost of the job was more than double the initial estimate. We were certainly not pleased by this. But Jim Freeman constantly explained the causes of all this, and assured us that the solution was the best possible way to deal with it. His constant availability, presence on the site, and sharing of the engineering plans/details, were the only things which helped ease the frustration of having to deal with this problem. In the end we found Freeman Contracting very professional in their work, punctuality, and detail, but we do wish they would have had a better idea about the level the cost from the offset.

Description of Work: Kevin Douglas inspected our chimney & house for an issue we were having with 2 walls separating. We were concerned that the chimney was pulling away from the house causing the separation. He was thorough & professional. Provided suggestions as to the cause & approach to dealing with the problem. He assured us that the chimney was not pulling away & said we did not need the services of his company. We appreciate his honesty. If we ever do need those services, we would certainly contact Freeman Contracting!

The experience was excellent from start to finish. The estimate given was very clear, gave me plenty of detaisl and answered all my questions. This person was very down-to-earth and reassuring. The contract was sent quickly with all the information and pictures to help show the work to be done. They finished the job in 3 1/2 days and were extremely professional, neat and clean throughout the whole job. They continued to welcome any questions or information needed. I would definitely hire them again if needed and would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Installed 7 piers under my foundation--one full wall and part of another

It went very well! We got several estimates and really did our homework for this before selecting Freeman. The estimates were all over the map -- some were much higher than Freeman and some much lower. But the ones that were lower came from guys who were one-man crews operating out of their houses, they were bidding on only parts of the job, and I doubt they were bonded and insured. Freeman was the lowest bid of what appeared to be the reputable and established companies who bid on the job. The crew came when they were supposed to and were always polite and professional. They did not track dirt into the house, even though it would have been easy to do. They finished maybe a day later than they said they would, but I think that was because of rain, so no big deal. And now we have a completely dry basement! The system works just great. The first time it rained, one of the pipes coming out of a window well was leaking pretty bad, but we just called them up and they came right out and fixed it at no extra charge. It's been almost a year now, and we are very pleased with the results and have no complaints.
Description of Work: They installed a draintile system in our basement, drainage systems from two window wells, and a sump pit and pump. They also sealed some cracks in the basement walls with epoxy.

They said that they only do foundation work, and this was a framing problem. They recommended an engineering company to try. The referral company never returned my calls. He could have contacted them to let them know that he had referred them to me.
Description of Work: We had some squeaks and dips in our floors and contacted them to see if they could fix it.

We met on July 28, they provided a proposal on August 13, and they performed the work in the middle of October. We got bids from Holland House and from Helitech too. Freeman was $2.35 per sq. ft. while Holland was $2.57 and Helitech was $3.59. Overall Freeman did an OK job. They did a sloppy job near the garage splattering concrete on my doors. They left the street messy too. Patches on holes do not blend in with the old concrete.
Description of Work: They mudjacked to raise and fill voids below slab concrete on the outside of my home. Concrete slabs included four slabs on the front walk, the front porch slab, three driveway slabs at the entrance to the garage,one rear sidewalk slab, and three rear patio slabs. This was a total of about 831 sq. ft. of slab.
