FOUNDATION BUILDERS LLC

Despite the monsoon rains we experienced this spring (which pushed back a lot of construction), all went well and the job was completed within the expected time. Mike's team was professional and they truly did a "no mess egress" installation. It looks great and we would use them again should the need arise.

Although there was a small issue with the window being sealed, they were quick to return on 2 different occasions until they got it right. They have called to follow up in order to be sure we were satisfied, which we are. They do quality work at a reasonable price and they stand behind their work 100% with no questions asked. Would definitely use them again.....

Mike and the Foundation Builders crew did a great job on our project. Mike was there to answer all our questions throughout the process and handled everything very professionally. We chose Foundation Builders over other contractors because they have a great system to contain the mess – nothing ends up inside the house; they provide a large 48” x 48” slider window which was superior to other estimates we received; and Mike’s knowledge and experience gave us the confidence to know they were going to do the job right. We had three windows installed so this was a big undertaking and a big investment and we are thrilled with the results. These windows added a ton of natural light to our very dark basement bedrooms and we love the peace of mind knowing that there is an easy way out in case of emergency. We have made many home improvement investments over the years and this has been one of the best. We would definitely call Mike and Foundation Builders for future projects!

Spoke with Mike the owner via phone about his services in January, Met with him in person shortly after for site assessment and estimate. We decided to hire Foundation Builders since he had previous experience with installing walkouts and there do not appear to be many contractors who do this on a regular basis. Work was started in April and took approx. 4 weeks to complete. Our biggest concern with installing the walkout was potential for drainage/flooding problems in our basement to develop. Foundation Builders did a thorough job of installing drainage appropriate for our site and basement. So far, no overflow or flooding problems from the drain. Door was installed with attention to "getting it right". Mike the owner is very hands on with his installations even though he is in the senior citizen category! He wants the job done right and doesn't leave the details to chance. This is not a cheap project nor is it a project for an amateur. The walkout was installed well and is also attractive. Be forewarned with any large project like this there will be some upheaval of the landscaping in the project area but this is unavoidable. Our lawn was protected leading from street to construction area. You will need to re-landscape around the actual construction site which would be an added expense unless you are a DIY devotee

Very good results so far with no issues.

Mike was very responsive and on time for all meetings / work performed. Completed job when he said it would be completed. Great installation. Took very good care not to cause any damage or mess inside. He's got a unique, very effective system to cut foundation and install egress windows without a drop of water or dirt inside the basement. We are very satisfied with the job and the windows made a HUGE difference in light and feel in our basement. He also installed drainage from downspouts to edge of property while he was digging and that was great too! I highly recommend Mike Hancock and Foundation Builders, for any work you need.

Excellent.

The quality of workmanship was great. The project was completed on time. All was cleaned after the job.

Very well - work was done in 2 days - no mess in basement due to containment system used while cutting the hole in the concrete.

The job went extremely well. There were numerous challenges with the walkout location and Mike and his crew met every challenge exceeding expectations. it was a great experience!

Foundation Builders responded quickly and kept in constant communication throughout the job. The work was completed at a rental property so it was important that my tenant was happy as well. My tenant was equally pleased with the work as well. I do have to mention that the job from proposal to completion was ahead of schedule and at the agreed upon price. Great job!

They showed up when they said they wounld and actually finished a little early than expected. I will probably use them for concrete work in the future.

OK, once the forms went up

very well. excellent

We are very happy with our new window and we feel very secure that the crack is sealed now. FB did a great job. It was very wet and rainy when they did the job and as a result the grass where they used their equipment was destroyed. They did their best to minimize damage. I share this only to help others think about potential follow-up work they may have to do. The window is great, and they did an excellent job keeping the potential mess from spreading in the basement. I do recall there were a few times where they were unable to take the next step due to coordination of their equipment and crews among other jobs. It led to a slightly longer job time. But overall, I would definitely use FB again and trust them with my home.

We were very happy with the quality of the work and the professionalism of owner, Mike Hancock and his employees. Mike returned our call and came to our house to give us an estimate right away. The work was completed on time and on budget. We were really impressed with the care that was taken to not damage our landscape and to clean up when the job was completed. There was a slight issue with the grate that they installed rusting. Mike immediately ordered and installed a new one, no questions asked. We would definitely use Foundation Builders in the future and highly recommend them.

They were pretty good. The work was good. I would give them about an 85% or 90%. They thought they were going to finish on time and they went a week over on a week long project. I would tell a friend to make sure materials are on hand before they start work. The work was good but there was some executions pieces that could have been better.

They added an egress window in our basement, so we could put another bedroom in. Another company was more expensive, and told me that there wasn't enough clearance from the underground lines to dig where we wanted to. Michael was confident that we could put it in that space, which really saved our basement design. Overall, it took two days to complete, the quality was excellent. Michael digs down to the drainage system for the house to make sure you minimize chances of water getting in. For the window well, Michael uses a 1-piece egress that looks like rock and is one piece. It's a nice looking window from the inside. He didn't leave a mess behind and didn't tear up our lawn with his gear. My only complaint is admittedly a minor one. When they put the window in, they forgot to leave the screen. It took a few phone calls and a couple of weeks to get Michael back out here to drop off the screen. He did though, and everything is fine now. The situation bugged my type-A personality a bit, but it's not something that would stop me from using him again.
