Jay Yount was great salesperson and Ceritified Field Inspector. Foreman David P and crew mates Ernesto "Nestor" and James C were knowledgeable and efficient, arrived on time and got the job done in two days. Results of the floor stabilization were communicated to me clearly before, during and after the work was performed. All my expectations were at least met. Would definitely recommend Tar Heel to friends and family.
Description of Work: The floors of our 60 year old house needed stabilized. They put in 3" beams and intellijacks to touch all joists of the kitchen and living room floors, and installed joist hangars. Now it feels much sturdier.

This was a good company for a long time. I purchased a dry zone system from them for my crawl space and the installation was very well done. However, since they were purchased by Groundworks, their processes have declined in effectiveness. I recently had a maintenance visit for my system, during which a simple electrical problem was identified. The tech was not qualified to fully diagnose or fix the problem, and it has been a month without any progress or response from their service or production departments. I've had to call four times, spending 15-30 minutes on the phone each time, and still don't have an appointment for the repair to be completed. It's a shame to see a good company fall this far.

Gary H. and Robert H. were absolutely the best I have ever had doing work in my home. They worked like this was their home. Some people say they do but these guys didn’t have to say it. I saw it. I have a small home but they treated it like it was priceless. I needed new support system in two rooms and the work they did was exactly what I wanted. The material quality they chose was top as well. I would recommend these guys and TarHeel to anyone.
Description of Work: Support system had rotted out under 2 rooms.

Great scheduling setup and multiple follow-ups and confirmations prior of inspection appointment. All culminating into a no-show, no contact. 5.5 hrs drive for that. Very disappointing.

They did a piece of my basement and they already make a mess. This guy is not responding to all my messages and calls. at first they went to fix but after that they didn't went again to fix everything. That's the reason why I needed to hire another company.
