After some difficulty dealing with their salesperson, a date was scheduled and the crew came out and did a professional job adjusting the piers. The cleanup went well and considering I did not pay them a dime, the work was done well. I can not speak on dealing with Olshan as far as having them do the work, but I can state that they have so far stood by their warranty for their work.
Description of Work: We had some warranty work done on exterior foundation piers put in about 9 years ago by a previous owner.

The crew showed up on time and got right to work. The Supervisor explained what they were going to do and assured me I would be happy before they left. He was right. The only break they took was for their lunch. They were all professional and polite. It was a much better experience than I had ever imagined. I was so nervous before the job but so happy when they were finished.
Description of Work: They installed 7 cablelock systems on the exterior of the house to secure one room that was an add-on to the house before I bought it. I have been in the house five years.

We got three different estimates, and all three were quite different. I don’t know if Olshan Foundation Repair’s estimate was better or worse than the others. They came on time and everything looked reasonable. However, we wouldn’t be using them because we haven’t had any experience with them. We have decided to go with another company that had done work for us in the past.

They made a significant mess. They promised better clean up which they did not do. They did not replace the sod which they implied they would. The equipment was not working; this caused delays while the house was virtually unlivable. One day it rained and they did not show up they could worked inside filling holes they had jack hammered in the slab for the house. The next day they were working inside. It took two additional days that were not needed if they would have been more efficient at there work. They did give rebate and acknowledge their poor work.

We are most happy with the work they did for us. They backed it up with a ten year transferable warranty so I feel they stand by the jobs they do. They took care of all the cracks I had in the concrete outside. Due to the stone in the interior of our basement, they could not repair the inside but they still managed to stabilize our home from the outside. Their price was good since my bill was half what we were expecting it to be.
Description of Work: Olshan Foundation Repair stabilized and evened out foundation as our home had settled. They repaired cracks in our foundation. Our home is a 2000 square feet and is a older home.

They were a bit late on arrival (due to the horrible Houston morning traffic), but they more than made up for the time the few minutes on that first morning. They completed the work in less than three days with roofers working on the house at the same time. They were quick and provided a lifetime guarantee, as well as offered the lowest reasonable bid (by a long shot). They found a way to complete the job without tunneling or breaking up my interior floors, saving me thousands of dollars on the whole job.
Description of Work: They levelled my house to within 0.5" (about as good as you can realistically hope for in Houston) with 30+ exterior Cable-Lock piers. The starting points were as much as 3.5" off level, depending on where you stood in the house.

Olshan answered my call quickly and followed up with an estimate to repair my foundation. Their prices were very good and they explained the warranty on the piers and the advantages of the cable lock system. The repair was scheduled as soon as a day was available and the work crew was right on time. They did an excellent job and cleaned up all the mess.
Description of Work: The work crew came to my house and repaired my foundation. They dug holes under the foundation and poured concrete in the holes to set sixteen piers in with the cable lock system. They also dug a trench across one side of the foundation and poured concrete where the foundation was cracked. They also repaired the septic lines under the foundation.

Our house settled and they have to come back and re-level it once more (although they're not charging a second time). They told us in advance that they'd have to come twice, once after the rain. It took them six hours. Our house is in good shape. They cleaned up well after their work. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: These folks re-leveled our house by digging holes, compressing concrete piers into the ground and then lifting the house with a hydraulic jack.

The foundation in our home was sinking into the gumbo, and we needed a foundation expert. Olshan Foundation has a great reputation so I hired them to level my house. The house was lifted very professionally and Olshan put in thirteen piers to level the foundation back to normal. The company did a great job, the foundation is secure; the work comes with a transferable lifetime guarantee.

I hired Olshan Foundation to fix one crack in my foundation and they made things worse. I am not very pleased as my foundation now has several cracks in it, I cant open two closet doors and cant close another one. I called them back twice now, they went under the front of the house and things still aren t working properly. I know I have lifetime warranty but they want to take a wall out to fix my foundation and I don t see that as necessary. I have to get them to come back out again as I am still not happy with my foundation and my closet doors still aren t working properly.

Olshan Foundation Repair did a somewhat satisfactory job. They did not do the job right the first time. When I called them back to come and fix it, they were not too responsive to my needs. I felt that they thought I was lying. I did not like that. They tried to talk me out of having the work re-done. When they finally did re-do the work, they did a good job.

Olshan Foundation Repair is very good. I used them to lift my house, and they had to put in about 40 cable locks under my house. My house is about fifty years old, and had settled a lot over time so I called Olshan, as they have a good reputation. The men came and lifted my house and put about forty cable locks under it before setting it back down. They are very professional and efficient. The foundation is guaranteed for a lifetime and transferable to a new owner. They did a great job, and when I called them back for a slight problem, they were right out.

Olshan Foundation Repair took my call quickly and came around to give an estimate. Their prices were quite good, and they explained how they would raise the foundation by using piers and a cable lock system. The repair was scheduled as soon as a day and time were available, and the work crew was on time. They unloaded their truck and installed the piers underneath the house by using a cable lock system, and they were able to lift the foundation that was settling. They cleaned up all the mess and did an excellent job.

This company undertook a major repair to the foundation of our home. I am very happy with the outcome, and their solution to the problem that they faced. Our home is now stabilized, and can be adjusted in the future if needed. The workers did a lot of work including digging under the foundation. I was happy to see that they picked up after themselves.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SOMEONE WALKING INTO YOUR HOUSE AND INSULTING YOU. WHILE THE INDIVIDUAL WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. IT BEGAN WITH HOW HE HAD LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 40 YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL AND HOW HE HAD LEFT A SITE TWO DAYS EARLIER BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE THE CUSTOMER. WHAT STARTED OUT AS WE CAN BUILD UP A SUPPORT BEAM, TURNED INTO INSULTS. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE AC MAN ''DID IT AGAIN'' BY PUTTING THE DRAIN PIPE NEXT TO A PIER. I HAD TOLD HIM ORIGINALLY THAT THE DRAIN PIPE HAD AFFECTED THE PIER. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE HOUSE, WHICH IS LOW TO THE GROUND, THE NEED TO REPAIR BECAME A MOOT POINT. HE ''WOULDN'T WASTE ANY MORE MONEY ON THE HOUSE'' AND PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE ONLY WAY TO GET UNDER MY HOUSE WAS ''X''. I CORRECTED HIM, AT WHICH POINT HE BECAME MORE BELLIGERENT. HE SAID I COULD CALL HIM IN JULY ONCE THE HOT SEASON ROLLED AROUND AND THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
