It went excellent. This isn’t a repair anyone is ever excited about having to do, but Steve was by far the best of all the “experts” I had come to give me quotes. He took so much time out of his day to talk to me on multiple occasions to explain the work and why he was suggesting what he was. I felt respected when talking to Steve. It was a learning experience but someone I would recommend a million times over. I wish more people were like Steve.

The job of installing a sump pump is an exhausting and dirty job, however, the crew kept the area as clean as possible. They were fast but professional. We’ve had the pump for almost five years and luckily we’ve had no flooding problems. We check it out every year and it still works flawlessly. Thank you Steve.

Installed 15 piers. Excavated around the eastern side of house all the way down to the foundation, installed the brackets, did the lift. In addition, they installed a membrane around the basement walls while they were exposed to help prevent water leakage. They verified that all the cracks and gaps were closed as much as possible, and filled in whatever cracks remained with either caulk (for the smaller ones) or mortar for the couple of places where the cinder block had broken so it didn't close completely with the lift. Steve kept me updated on what was being done throughout the process, and his site boss and team were outstanding. It took them 6 days to get it all done, during one of the hottest weeks in recent history (95-106 degrees F). They even added a wall anchor after determining that the wall with most of the cracking was slightly bowed after the lift was completed. Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Description of Work: Eastern side of my house had sunk 2-3 inches, causing cracks in basement walls and gaps between basement and house walls and between chimney and house walls. Multiple contractors recommended installation of push piers to raise the house and close the gaps.

They did not actually have to do any work. They provided a possible solution to the problem that I could do myself and it worked. I really respect their professionalism and honesty in not taking advantage of a situation. It makes me trust them more.
Description of Work: This is the second time I've called them for an estimate. Each time they were on time, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. They gave me ideas to take care of the problem myself, which solved the problem for us. They seem to be very honest and genuine in their desire to help. They will be the first company I call when I need help again.

Description of Work: Quality Foundation Repair is a very reputable company and I am pleased I was put in contact with them through Angie's List. The owner Steve Gnader was very good at explaining what was going on with our foundation and what needed to be done. Needless to say Quality fixed our sagging foundation and we will never have that problem again. The workers performed professionally and always kept me informed of all the procedures as they were doing them. The block and cement work really looks great, we are very pleased with their professionalism and workmanship and do highly recommend Quality Foundation to any who needs their services. | |

Overall, we are satisfied with the service. We appreciated Steve's knowledge about our problem and straightforward style. Quality of work was very good and workers were professional. It's too soon after the service to determine if it has solved our water issues. A crew finished the job in 8 hours. The crew was friendly and responsive in answering our questions. Basement areas outside of work area were covered in plastic so that they didn't get dusty. Regarding punctuality, Steve was about 30 minutes late for estimate (but did call to let us know he was running late), and crew showed up about 5-10 minutes after the 30 minute window given for expected arrival. Not a big deal, but a little disappointing.
Description of Work: installed 58 feet of floor drain and 43 feet of waterproof wall membrane for basement water problems. Installed new sump pit and pump.

The soil pulled from the crawl space was used to build up around the one side of the house. They secured the old window wells while building up the outside of the house. They were very good at explaining each day's plans and the rationale for each step of the process.
Description of Work: Wall anchors placed, drainage tiles around the outer walls, sump pumps in main basement and crawl space, the crawl space was leveled, insulated and sealed, and egress window was placed in the back room to be made into an extra bedroom.

I have used this company on 2 different projects. Both were single family homes with basements that had major water intrusion issues. The owner, Steve, is very knowledgeable and professional, with a lot of experience in this space despite being a fairly new company. The first project was to install the perimeter system in an unfinished basement of a split level home which would get significant water intrusion every time there was a heavy rain. The process involved jack-hammering out and removing the existing concrete foundation from the perimeter wall to about 1 foot away from the wall, all the way around the entire basement. Then there was perforated PVC drain tile installed along with gravel to assist with drainage and allowing the water to channel over to a sump pump, where it would then be pumped out of the house through a PVC pipe extending away from the house. After the drain tile and gravel were installed, new concrete was then poured to replace what was removed. This process took about a day and a half to complete, and has worked great for the past several months. The next project involved the same thing, but was at a home close to the water by Lake Manawa. This home has had some really bad water problems in the basement during rains. Steve completed the same process as above on this home. About a month went by, and the tenant at this home called me to let me know that the basement had some water in it. So I contacted Steve to inform him of the issue (which was caused primarily by improper grading at the home and a really high water table). He and his workers were back over to this house within 2 days and installed an additional 80 feet of drain tile in the foundation to help alleviate the pressure and seepage issues. He did all of the extra work for no additional charge and completed it 2 days after I let him know about the issue. I could not be happier with the service I have received from Quality Foundation Repair. I will absolutely use them again in the future and have recommended them to multiple people.

Upon inspection of both the interior and exterior, Steve indicated that there were things we could do (and he outlined specific solutions :) to fix the problem but that he didn't think his services would be the best option. I appreciated his honesty, sense of humor, and willingness to offer solutions that didn't even involve his services - a sign of true professional in my opinion. I give Quality Foundation Repair a B only because services were not rendered and thus I can't speak to the actual quality of work.
Description of Work: Steve drove to our home in Lincoln for an estimate on basement foundation repair due to ground up leakage with the idea that we'd like to refinish the basement.

He was very good and very knowledgable. He let me know that there was nothing that he could do for my floor. I liked that he was honest with me and didn't charge me for coming out. Most places will try and come out and do pointless work just to get money so I appreciate that he did not do that to me.

The initial quote process went well. Person was professional and explained the job and how many piers were necessary AND why. We received the quote and it was within our budget. Because of the size and scope of the job we wanted to obtain 2 additional bids to ensure we had the proper solution. We received a call from the owner to check on the process and he also provided additional discount. The discount wasn't necessary in our mind, but at least he followed up. We had a 2nd company come out who as we found out who also represented the product being used. The other company's lack of follow-up eliminated them from the process. We were prepared to give our business to Quality, but we decided to wait to schedule until our refinancing was finished (to ensure we had the funds to pay Quality). After visiting the Home Show, we were introduced to another company. We decided to obtain a third bid for the job and offered a range products to match our type of job. We have selected the other company perform the job in December 2012. Our decision not to go with Quality, was for two reasons: 1: quality of product being used 2: This is a relatively new business and we were concerned about the ability for the company to back up a warranty if there were problems 5 years down the road.
