Established in 1933, Olshan Foundation provides cost-effective foundation solutions to residential and commercial property owners. We proudly service homeowners in Wichita from our office in Nearby Missouri. About a quarter of the homes we visit do not require foundation repair. Services are backed by an available warranty, friendly customer support and convenient payment options. Free, no-obligation structural assessments are performed by Certified Structural Technicians. Since no two homes are alike, our Technicians carefully inspect the problems affecting your home before developing a comprehensive repair plan designed uniquely to your property. Olshan is the exclusive provider of the Cable Lock ST Plus repair system. This hybrid design combines the penetrating power of concrete with the long-term durability of steel, providing a longer, deeper more secure repair. We also offer drainage and root barriers to help prevent foundation damage. Schedule a free, no-obligation assessment now. Your home’s structural integrity depends on the strength of your foundation. It supports everything else – walls, windows, floors, doorways, roof – so when your foundation is damaged, it can cause serious problems throughout your home. Like most things in life, your foundation is subject to environmental stress. Expanding and contracting soil, excessive moisture and inadequate drainage are some of the most common threats to your home’s foundation. Over time, environmental stressors can cause a foundation to shift, crack or settle unevenly. And homeowners often miss early warning signs of foundation damage. Homeowners spend about $4 billion annually stabilizing faulty foundations, and those costs may increase as more homes are built in areas known for shifting soil. Understanding risk factors and signs of foundation problems can help you protect your most valuable asset from irreversible damage.
"Terrible service, our front was sinking due to our fireplace. We got a quote ($28,000), for their "patented" footings - enormous metal poles under each of the house supports for the front. Pretty slick snowjob, they quoted us 3 days but took 5. They dumped all the concrete they removed in the backyard without asking and left an enormous hole in the front of the house where the fireplace is. When I (5'1" femme) asked to speak to a supervisor about the delay and dumping, they sent a good old boy (300 pds, 6'2") to scream at me in my living room. No supervisor was present to verify the work and I was not permitted to watch them. They pressured me to sign the inspection form, without me inspecting anything. They are a SCAMMMM! I would only recommend Olshan as revenge."

Rising S Bunkers offers the best underground steel shelters, bomb shelters, safe rooms & blast doors on the market. We lead the industry in quality and we have the highest standards for craftsmanship in underground bunkers and other emergency shelters. The Rising S standard of quality is unmatched by any other bunker company on the market today. Additionally, every project is completely customizable. Many customization's are available at no additional cost.
"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."

ISW Custom Builders has been growing quickly these past few years. Today we are pleased to offer several construction services from remodeling, outbuildings with livable space, and new custom home construction! We pride ourselves in having our own in house team to handle many aspects of any build to ensure we know how it is built, and we know it is done the right way. Give us a call!
"We contracted with Brian starting late 2021 to build an addition on to the back of our house. At first, everything seemed fine. He and his crew would come over to the house to discuss our plans and to sketch a plan for the addition. Once we agreed on a plan for the addition and made our first down payment on the project in early 2022. He kept on making promises on when he would start the project, but didn't break ground until July of 2022. After he broke ground, he stated that things would move fast and that he was anticipating a completion date of Sept 2022. That date came and gone. Then at one point, after the the addition was framed and enclosed, he stated that he was going to focus on other outside projects and only come to our place when the weather was bad. Our project was constantly on his back burner. We were promised that the addition would be finished in time for Thanksgiving that year - again a promise that went unkept. The project was close, but not completely finished. Our addition wasn't completely finished until Christmas time - a whole 5 to 6 months after he broke ground and three months after promised. When everything was said and done and the addition was "ours", he stated that there would be a 1 year warranty on the addition - for defects caused by shifting. Well, a month after it was "handed" over to us, we reached out stating that there was major leaks in the window framing that would only be noticed on a cold winters night where the wind is blowing crazy. I walked in the new bedroom wondering why it was so cold - the heat was on but couldn't keep up. Brian was notified, but was instantly told that we were crazy and that the window fine. Needless to say, the rest of that winter, we had to have the window taped out in order to keep the heat from escaping. In the main area, the tiling job seemed subpar - where tiles would break and click when stepped on and we had noticed that on our new deck, the cement had cracked in the corner where the support beam for the deck was. It took him more than 2 to 3 months to come over to look those items as well as address the drywall shifting that we had experienced. During this time, he also determined that the window was defective and that he would have the window dealt with. He had a guy come over to mud things up and sand, but never came back to paint. It was another 2 months before Brian himself came over to redo the tile and paint the seams that were fixed. Things seemed like they were going well, until we kept on inquiring when the cement deck would be fixed. We would try texting Brian directly and he then claimed that he would text us back - no texts were received. So in July of 2024, I started a group text thread to keep all of the honest people honest. He told his assistant at the time that he tried texting us, but we never got back to him, yet when she texted us, we would respond right back - make it make sense. When I finally was able to talk to him on the phone, he said that he didn't see the need to make contact with us when he didn't know or didn't have a timeline for us. To which I told him - contact us anyway so we know that you at least got our message rather than just blowing us off. How does one conduct business without making contact with their clients. Keep in contact with them even if you don't know. He finally sent someone over sometime in Sept of 2024 to pour the concrete on the section that had cracked. Last contact we had with Brian was October 23, 2024 when we had notified him that the support beam had fallen during the storm the night before and was inquiring when he was going to finish it up. Well, we're midway into March of 2025 and we still have yet to hear back from Brian. Granted, we are luckier than most people from some other reviews that I have read. Our addition is water tight - we do have a corner that needs to be re-insulated, but the overall headache of dealing with someone who blows you off because they're concentrating on outside projects (which I get) but then doesn't get back to you regarding a timeline on when we could expect our project to be deemed worthy enough to his attention. I've held off writing this review until I knew that we would no longer have any other contact with him, but felt obligated to write the review once I read other customers most recent comments. I guess what I don't understand is how you can go from having 5 star reviews in 2021 to 1 star reviews a couple of years later? Make it make sense. Save your sanity, go with a contractor that is willing to keep to a timetable and communicates back with you on a frequent basis."

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The most common first signs of foundation issues include:
Cracks in the foundation walls that grow
Signs of moisture or water leaking through cracks in the foundation
Standing water in the basement
Sagging floors or walls
Cracked walls in upper floors
Doors and windows that don’t close properly anymore
Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.
If you’re noticing signs of foundation issues, the first step to fixing a foundation problem is to hire a foundation repair inspector. They will determine the problem, the cause, and the severity before recommending a course of action to repair the foundation. The method for fixing foundation problems depends on the problem and what options are available. A few possible solutions include:
Epoxy injections
Mudjacking
Piers made of steel or concrete
Jacks
Hydraulic piers
Carbon or steel reinforcement strips
Waterproofing materials
