ALLIED FOUNDATION SPECIALISTS INC

It turns out that I hired a bad inspector and there was nothing to repair. I appreciate Allied's willingness to evaluate the property. Other companies require the owner to schedule an estimate. I am impressed that they didn't find "something" to repair. Thank you, Allied. You run an honest business, and if I need to have foundation work done (or know of a friend who does) I know who to call.

They are extremely quality oriented. They delivered 110%. They installed more piers than number listed in proposal to do the correct job and rectify the problem at NO EXTRA COST.

Let me start by saying that I am AMAZED at the professionalism, quality and price of Allied Foundation. They were finished in less than 2 hours and 45 minutes. Other foundation repair companies quoted me three times the cost and said it would take two days! Allied told me 4 hours. And they beat that! As a professional photographer, I documented the process. And even though I witnessed the repair, I still can't believe how quickly they completed the work. You can't even tell they were here other than the fact that our floor is level and there are concrete patches. The only downside is that our kitchen is no longer in the basement (that's a joke...it's not supposed to be). The foundation was down 3" to 4" at it's worse point. But no longer. Our doors close and latch. Our windows are level again. The cracks in our drywall are there (obviously, they weren't here to fix our walls) but there is no gap in the cracks. We are extremely pleased! If - no, when - you need foundation repair...save your time and your money and just call Allied Foundation. There is a reason they are rated an A on Angies's List and A+ with the BBB. We experienced it ourselves! Trust Allied Foundation!

Wonderful. Jason Frick came out to inspect our house and gave us the price on the work. We expected to pay a lot more ($20K range) He was very knowledgeable, frank and friendly. He did not come out for the job itself, but on the day and a half of labor, a group of 7-9 guys descended on our house, they worked hard and were always courteous. The supervisor was very friendly and kept us up to what was happening. The gas company and the phone company came out and Allied dealt with them. They had to remove and put back brick, concrete and flag stone, and did a tremendous job. The supervisor asked my husband if he would like to crawl under the house to see what the crew was doing and the repairs they would make, and he also adjusted the locks to the apt above the garage. They cleaned up after themselves and left everything as it was before the job. We have a life time warranty (that transfers with the house) on the garage and a one year warranty on the pier and beam. We are very happy with Allied. They did a great job!

Went better than expected. They were in, holes dug, piers placed in, house raised and the back fill and leave. They removed some shrubs and replaced them, filled in the cracks of my house with mortar. They also had to remove boards from my back deck but put them back. Other than my house being level and the back fill soil they returned I could not even tell they had been to my house. They did it all in half a day. Would recommend them to anyone.

The provider was responsive and came out within the same week I called to do the estimate. They performed a relatively quick assessment of the foundation using a level. I felt that the provider was very quick to recommend foundation repair and the placement of the piers seemed to be a generic recommendation that they use for all customers and not specific for my property. In the end I decided not to use them because I decided not to repair my house foundation.

The crew arrived on time. From start to finish the work was performed in less than 4 hours. The supervisor was very polite and knowledgeable. The crew appeared to be very experienced in what they were doing. I was given a lifetime transferrable warranty for the work performed. Pleased with the price of the work also.

They inspected the foundation and told me that everything was fine. They did foundation repair on my house before I bought it. I would consider using them again because they have repaired the foundation and have what is necessary to do so, but I was not totally thrilled with them.

We had noticed cracks in our exterior walls several months ago. We called in a structural engineer and he recommended that we have concrete piers installed to our foundation. We called 3 companies and Allied quoted us the best price. We also checked with the BBB and this website and found out that this company was reputable, licensed, insured, and bonded. Overall, it was a good experience (though I wouldn't wish any foundation issues for anybody :-).

They didn't charge me anything when they came out. The quality of the assessment was good. They were there on time. They were professional.

I am pretty disappointed with their service. I can't say anything about their price, because the previous owners took care of the initial cost and it is warranted for a lifetime. I do not think they stand by their guarantee and after coming out now for a third time, I can't say their quality is very good. I'm intending of having them fix it again for now, but I would use them again in the future.

Foundation work not needed, not recommended

The company arrived on time - both for the estimate and to perform the work. They dug holes 2-3 feet apart around the entire perimeter. They removed plants from the flowerbed and tied up larger bushes so they would be out of their way. They jackhammered 3 holes into the concrete front porch to insert the piers. I had not been told about the jackhammering part when I was given the estimate so I was really suprised when the deafening noise started. It vibrated the whole house and really upset my 3 pets. I would have moved my pets to another location if I would have known it was going to be so loud. Other than that they did a good job. The leveling did cause a few more cracks in my sheetrock and some pavers on my back patio which had been installed over an old concrete porch were lifted along with the foundation leaving an uneven area that will need to be fixed by a paver company. They advised not to do any cosmetic repairs (like patching the sheetrock) for about a month because the house wouldn't be totally settled until then. The total job took 5 1/2 hours. After they left I found a slight leak under a sink and found that the gate to my backyard wouldn't shut and the locks on front and back doors didn't line up and couldn't be locked. The leak has since stopped (I guess it settled back into place). The gate has settled enough to open with just a little tug. I was able to adjust the locks myself. The house is now level and it is good to know that repairs I make in the future will stay fixed rather than having to re-repair due to the constant house shifting. Just know that any repairs that have been made while the house was "crooked" will not align once it is leveled. I am very happy with the outcome.

They came out provided an estimate. They had the lowest price. They arrived in a timely manner. The crew was very hard working. They provided a lifetime transferable warranty. They did not try to do any unnecessary work, they just what was needed.

Estimator was great and helpful (Jon). Team of workers arrived on time. They finished in about 6 hours -- much to my surprise -- and that included a break for the pizza and coke I took out to them. Terribly hot day! The air hammer was going for about 2+ hours, but after that stopped the rest went well. I was disappointed with how my landscaping looked, but decided I couldn't really expect much more, given the mucky mud that was dug up and piled around. I had to call them back after the big rain we had from "Dolly" because I had eight sink holes. They came out and refilled the holes in 2 days after I called.

It was very good. They had very high ratings. We checked out the process of another company first. They did a very good job. The crew was personable. They are a family owned business.

Allied rep was very professional and very honest with what could/could not be expected with foundation leveling. I offered to pay him a service call for his time but he refused and said it was part of the "free estimate" they offer.

Unbelievable service! Highly recommend!

They came right over and wrote it up for me. It turns out it is not a major repair. I thought they are nice and courteous to you. I decided not to do anything to my home. I decided to put it on the market and just give the estimate to the new buyers. Estimate was $250.00.

The 10-11 man crew arrived on time at 8am and were complete by 10:30am. Very professional crew who I could tell were very experienced. Each person did their job and worked quickly. They obviously had done this many times. I selected them based on a previous Angie's List report, and am happy that I did. They were 1/2 the price of the "big" TV advertising firms.

Very nice polite people. Did the job very fast and cleaned up well.

Went well, had to work with the company to allow me to pay 5 days later after closing but once agreed upon they were great. Showed up on time, finished quickly, very reasonable price. Great Job!

I went with them based on price. The other companies wanted over twice what they charged. They guaranteed all of their work. My friend used them and referred me to them. It was a very labor intensive job so I really felt they did good work.

I had just purchased my home and knew from the start I had to get the foundation fixed. I am in my 80's and they did not try to take advantage of me. In fact, the gentleman that worked with me individually was the kindest person and he really did a good job. I am not sure how they did it or what all they used but my foundation is fine now. They also gave a warranty on their work.

I feel that they did do a good job. They did have to come back one time because one corner needed a little more leveling. It was kind of sinking in. I really do not feel that this was the company's fault, it was actually the earths fault. Anyways, they fixed it with no problems at all. After the job was complete, they came by often and checked to see that everything was okay. It did not take much time for them to do this. It was actually very easy for them. Also, the price I paid for this was a special they were running. It was about $200 cheaper than it would have been.
