Hargrave Home Repair Inc

I went great!

did not use

Mr. Hargrave came and looked at our home, and we gave him a copy of our structural engineer's report. He then sent us his estimate by email that evening. We had 2 other estimates from the same engineer's report which were $ 2,000 and $4000.00 more for the same repair work. When they dug the twenty holes for the piers, they laid down plastic sheeting before beginning to hand dig the dirt. After the piers were installed and the dirt replaced in the holes, you could not see where the holes had been dug. There was no mess left anywhere around the foundation. This spring, we lost only 1 of the 8 large shrubs that were dug up during the repair work. I was in the house with our structural engineer as they jacked up our home. Our engineer was taking measurements as they jacked up the 20 piers. The cracks in the drywall inside and the cracks in the brick outside all went back together. The concrete patches on our patio and the brick repair work after the house was leveled out is beautiful. Hargrave sent a plumber out to inspect the plumbing to make sure the sewer and the potable water pipes had no issues or leaks as part of the plan. We would highly recommend Hargrave Custom Foundation Repair. They worked well with our structural engineer.

Exceptional experience from the time Dan Hargrave came out to the house until Nick James and crew installed the piers. The crew did a great job of cleaning up. They fixed the cracked brick mortar the resulted from the house settling - matched it so perfectly that you can't tell where the mortar was repaired. Prompt, professional and courteous. Every question and concern was promptly addressed. My first and only call will be to Hargrave should we need any more work done.

I was very impressed with him. He was very punctual, honest, had high integrity, and was very knowledgeable about the options. However, I went with another vendor as I was able to negotiate a better price with them. They were both equally impressive, though.

They were fine and they were okay. They gave a really detailed estimate and listened to all my concerns.

Dan Hargrave came out and took floor measurements to see how much the floor was out of level, and a through walk thru outside. It was decided that 4 piers across the front and 3 around the corners would be enough. I was given a written quote via email the next day. I scheduled the repair for the next week. They were very prompt and very professional. They came at 730am and were finished by 1pm. A check of the floor level was done thru out the leveling. The plants that had to be dug up were replanted and the area was cleaned of all debris. It looked like nothing had been disturbed. The repair to the brick mortar was done as promised. Very pleased with this company and their employees.

Contractor spent 2 days installing piers. Spent half a day lifting the slab to level throughout the house. Cleaned up all debris. House is better than new.

We were very pleased and would recommend them to anybody. They know how to treat their customers. They work very well with their clients. They explain everything. They keep track of the price of the project while it's going. They have very qualified people who know what's happening. The engineers are qualified, as well.

I hired Hargrave after they provided a repair proposal. They accepted the recommendations of a foundation engineer that I had hired, and did not try to do extra unneeded repairs. They arrived promptly on the day and time scheduled. While they did have to tear up part of my flower beds, it was not nearly as extensive as expected and they cleaned up so well, you would have to know what to look for to know anything was actually done. They actually replaced some brick in a couple of spots even though they did not include that in their original estimate. The brick and mortor work was so good that it blended right in with the areas around what they fixed, although the original brickwork is 11 years old. Their original estimate included the need to epoxy a crack in the garage floor, but after the house was raised they decided it didn't need to be done, which saved me several hundred dollars!

We were very satisfied. We spent about $8000. The experience was very good. They gave us a fair and honest assessment. They explained everything. They treated us very respectfully. The price was very good. We will use this company in the future but we hope we don?t have to.

The preparation and installation of the piers commenced on the agreed-to date of June 14, 2010. By midday June 16, the work was complete. You could barely tell that there was any work done at my house. All of the dirt was back in place, the one shrub was replanted, and all visible external cracks had closed back up and were repaired. Even one very large crack on the side of my home was hard to detect after the repair, and that's only because I knew it was there. Dan also arranged for the independent structural engineer I used initially to come back out for the actual leveling process to retake all readings. The engineer stated all requirements were met. A visit by a registered plumber was also included in order to check for plumbing leaks following the leveling process, of which there were none. Due to a possible redesign of my back patio, I elected to not have the drainage work done at that time. I was extremely please with the process and the end results. This company deserves a hard look by anyone requiring foundation repair.

They did a very good job. We are very happy to have done the work with them. Their price was about 1/2 of the other estimate we received. If I needed them again, I wouldn't hesitate to call them. They did a wonderful job getting our yard put back together. They are a family owned business.

Could not have asked for a better job from estimate to completion. The job was completed quickly and will very little disruption to our schedule or property. A plumbing inspection was completed after the foundation work was completed to sure that no problems were encountered. There were none.

I contacted Hargrave based on positive reports on Angie's List. I'm installing new flooring and had noticed a few cracks in my 1958 house, so I thought it would be prudent to see if there needs to be any foundation work done before finishing the flooring. Tim with Hargrave met with me at the agreed time and examined the house. He could have said I needed some work done and I would have believed him, but he said the cracks were normal for a house of this age and it didn't need anything done. He also didn't charge for the inspection. Hargrave certainly seems like a company you can trust.

Mr. Hargrave was a total gentlemen, a completely honest and honorable man. He asked me several probing questions regarding the crack and our foundation and other specific questions. After answering all his questions, he told me that I had nothing to worry about, that all was fine, and it wasn't necessary for him to do a service call (and having to charge me a lot of money) but that the minor crack was completely normal in my house. He could have said that he needed to come out and inspect it, charge me for the call and the inspection, but he gave me his professional recommendation over the telephone at no charge. I hope I can pay him back one day, and hopefully, I just did....through my wonderful review for this precious and honest man.

This was our first experience with having to correct foundation problems relating to our home. To overcome our ignorance and fear of selecting the wrong solution provider to work on such a critical element, we spent a great deal of time on the Internet learning about the techniques employed in leveling foundations especially slabs which is what our foundation is. We spent in inordinate amount of time pre-qualifying companies for inclusion in the proposal process narrowing the field down to 4. We personally met with representatives from each and narrowed the list to 2. We then called 5 references for each and made our final choice based upon responses from the references. The references were all outstanding for Hargrave and what was so impressive is that we chose the references at random from a long list of references that spanned a number of years. In so far as the price was concerned, the independent PE that we hired to evaluate our foundation both before and after the work was performed told us that the price was very reasonable for all that Hargrave did. He also provided a final written report that showed before and after measurements of the foundation and concluded that the work was well within satisfactory limits. What I liked about the firm was that they were family owned and operated, i.e., they had "skin in the game". The company representative that made the proposal was a family member as was the crew foreman that did the actual leveling. They were professional from beginning to end, answered all my uninformed questions throughout the process, and, when the job was done, the clean-up was immaculate. Heaven forbid I should ever need their services again. But, if I do, I will call them without hesitation.

Hargrave was excellent. Our structural engineer thought that the house might need as many as 23 piers inside and outside of the house. Dan Hargrave came out to bid the job when he said he would and was great to deal with. We scheduled the crew to come out and do the work based on the engineer's plans. Russ Hargrave and the crew came out when scheduled and began excavation inside and outside of the house. As the crew excavated outside the house they noticed that there were already some existing piers on the house and stopped work. Russ informed me of the situation, and felt we might not need to install all of the exterior piers called for, so we had the engineer come back out and look at the existing piers. The engineer agreed that we wouldn't need as many piers as he had originally planned and signed off on the changes which reduced the cost of the job by more than 50%. Hargrave could have easily not pointed out the existence of the existing piers to us and done the full job with us none the wiser. They were incredibly honest, knowledgeable and friendly to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone having work done on their foundation.

Looked at foundation using a level to determine if pilings needed.

I consider their work to be of very high quality because they had to take out some trees to do their job and put everything back where it was. They also did an excellent job cleaning up. I'm especially happy with their warranty plan because they've never charged me for any follow-ups or checkups.

Dan Hargrave was very prompt in returning our call regarding a bid for services. He, personally, came to check out our foundation problems and was very thorough with explanations regarding our issues. We had obtained bids from two different companies, but decided Hargrave Foundation met our needs. The crew arrived exactly on time to start the project. They were very professional and all work was completed as promised.

It went very well, and we were very satisfied (delighted).

They did a very good job, the workers were very nice.

EXCELLENT! CAME OUT SAME DAY THAT I CALLED AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE. WORK WAS DONE WITHIN THE WEEK. RUSS HARGRAVE TOOK GREAT CARE TO MATCH THE BRICKS TO THE HOUSE. CLEANED UP EVERYTHING. EVEN TOOK OLD BRICKS AWAY. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN FOR ANY BRICKWORK.

THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL. THE CREW BOSS RUSS WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING, DOING MORE THEN IN THE CONTRACT. HIS MEN WERE VERY NICE, DOING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO RESTRICT THE MESS THEY MADE, AND CLEANED UP AT THE END WHERE YOU ALMOST DID NOT KNOW THE WORK WAS DONE.
