Nicholas Flores came out to do the inspection. A delightful young man. Even the neighbor's dog loved him. He was personable and professional and answered all our questions.

Collier & Josh were very professional and friendly. They took the time to explain what they were doing and kept me informed as the work was being done. They made sure the area around the house was clean before leaving.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Foundation Support Specialists, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Bekah came out to provide the initial estimate, and she was fantastic. She explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand, which made the whole process less daunting. Remarkably, the crew was scheduled to come just three days after the estimate. They arrived early today to start the work, and the speed and efficiency of their service have blown me away. The job is still underway, but so far, so good. Additionally, the level of customer service has been exceptional. Everyone I've interacted with—whether through phone calls, texts, emails, or in person—has been incredibly nice and professional. It's clear that Foundation Support Specialists prioritize both quality work and excellent customer relations. I highly recommend them for any foundation needs!

Paul Rangel with Foundation Support Services did a fantastic inspection of our home and its foundation today and he provided an affordable plan for repairs that fit our needs and budget. He inspired confidence and we expect the job to be completed very quickly. Time for an update. It seems that Paul is more salesman than project manager, as he claimed. After the sale he disappeared. We trusted him but we should have hired an independent structural engineer, someone who could evaluate the proposal and the contract. The work crew did a good job but there are still discontinuous beams with dubious support. We got off to a rocky start but all's well that ends well. Greg and Jose cleared up all misunderstandings and now we are totally satisfied with FSS and the work they did for us. We would definitely hire them again.

We hired Foundation Support Specialists to stabilize our foundation. We were probably ten years behind on doing this and did many things wrong before we finally called for help. We installed a new metal roof due to hail damage and new wood floors due to many cracks in the tile due to the unstable house. Dumb on our part. On an hourly basis I could hear our house popping and cracking but my husband thought I was nuts. After calling several foundation companies each one came up with a 4" drop in our bedroom. Every sales man that came to my house would do that magical tube level test thing and everyone would walk into my bedroom and say wow you can feel the slope. I thought the first guy was full of it but the next guys did the same thing. So, that explained all the noise and doors that would not shut. Our house was falling down. We decided on FSS because of the price they were way under the others who did similar installation. My husband even went to their work location before we decided to hire them so he could see The Who what when where and how's. He was impressed with their product. The crew showed up on a Tuesday and went right to work. By Friday they had made their way half way around our house (3300 sq ft). I laid in bed for an hour before getting up that morning and realized I had not heard one noise, not one bump not one creek I could not believe it. At this point all that they did was install the piers to the house they had not even lifted the house. They finished all the piers by the following Friday. It took longer than projected because of the depth they had to go before finding whatever solid layer they needed. I watched through the window in amazement as they kept forcing all the pipes down. So,it was not a con they really had to go further than expected. This also explains why our house moved so much. Most of the piers went 40'. Monday was lifting day. That was really cool. You could literally see the cracks in the house close. When my husband closed our bathroom door, I almost cried. The tears were there but I blinked them back. There was an engineer on site during the lift too. We did not level the house to perfect due to the metal roof; that was our call. My bedroom is only off two inches now but my doors close again. The rest of the house is in good shape and I'm happy. Our foreman was Robert and I would highly recommend him. He's quiet but kicked but when it came to work. He impressed me because he was not the type of foreman that yells at everyone and does not work. He was working just as had his crew. On a side note I would like to say there is a foundation company that came from Austin to give us a quote when we told him we went with FSS he send us a nasty text yelling at us that we wasted his time and blablabla. Wished I could say the company name but that would be mean of me.

I was originally a little nervous in choosing someone to repair my foundation. But after seeing some reviews from other sites, I was confident in choosing FSS. Brian gave me a printout of what needed to be done to repair my foundation and was able to work around my schedule. And in spite of some bad weather, FSS was able to complete the work when they said they would. They were always on time and were always professional. I have seen other crews work and I constantly see them bickering. Not so with FSS. They were professional throughout and Daniel was especially dedicated. I was very impressed with their hard work. I would highly recommend FSS.

I did a lot of research into foundation repair before calling any companies to look at our house so that I'd know what I was getting into. We got estimates from 4 companies before selecting FSS. All 4 had similar pricing. We chose FSS because unlike the other companies, FSS didn't badmouth their peers. Instead, Brian very professionally took his measurements, explained what we needed, explained the pros and cons of different types of repair systems, and even suggested I get a second opinion from another company before choosing a contractor. I had a hard time finding companies willing to travel to Del Rio, but Brian even gave me the names of other companies he knew would service my area. Brian, Josh and Richard were available on their cells any day of the week and even in the evenings. The crew was friendly and hardworking. Our crew foreman David was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. FSS offers a lifetime warranty on their work, and the warranty transfers to the new owners if you sell the house. We highly recommend FSS.

NOTE: The work done was for a home on pier and beam, NOT on concrete. I was referred to this company by my sister's co-worker, who personally knows the owner(s). I had already had several companies come out to give me quotes, but none of them felt right. When Bryan came out, he walked my husband through everything he saw and explained (in great detail) what our issues were, how they could help and financing available. He was so thorough in his explanation that when my husband relayed the information to me, all my questions were already answered. Major beams under the home were completely rotted and the house was shifting. He let us know that if we decided to go with the company he would send someone the following week to put in temporary supports (something no one had offered despite the high need of immediate attention to that area). When we decided to go with them, Bryan personally called me several times to answer all my questions and make me feel comfortable and confident with the process. With my house being an older home, I found great comfort in knowing that they would be using the best materials with seasoned workers and that there is a 25 year warranty! When the work started, the workers were very polite, gave me frequent updates, and informed me of other problem areas my home had that I would need to take care of. The timeline I was given was 2 weeks, however it was rainy in town during that time, but they were still able to get it done in 3 weeks. I am extremely satisfied with the work that is done and feel good knowing that my home has the best supports out there. I would highly recommend this company due to their good rates, great communication and fabulous financing options.
Description of Work: I needed to have the pier and beam foundation on my home almost completely redone. Several major beams were rotted, the piers were not in place and the house was shifting immensely. For the time, I only had half of my house done (a little over 1,000 sq ft, but will have the remaining done by this company soon).

Excellent Work- great results
Description of Work: We had a unique situation at our home. It is a pier and beam house that was built too close to the ground and was even in the ground at one corner. With essentially no crawlspace (18” down to maybe 2”), moisture over the years was damaging the subfloor and causing mold issues that was affecting my wife’s health. With no crawlspace, there was no way to go under the subfloor to inspect, repair or treat for mold. We had several companies come out posing solutions that were either worthless, incomplete or at best only a temporary fix. Brian with FSS came out and devised a complete solution to actually go under the house and 1) excavate a 30” crawlspace in the rock, dirt, and caliche under the house, 2) treat the entire beam and subfloor area for mold, 3) remove and replace the damaged subfloor under one room, 4) install a new concrete skirting around the perimeter of the pier and beam structure and finally 5) encapsulate the entire subfloor area with a drain mat, 20 mil plastic liner, and three dehumidifier units to keep the relative humidity low enough that no more moisture would ever drop out in the subfloor area. FSS was very sensitive to my wife’s health issues and did some major juggling of crews to get to work right away. The entire job took 3 months to complete. Most of the job went just as planned and FSS demonstrated professional project execution skills. Everyone was always friendly and courteous. As you would imagine with such a complex and large scope, there were some issues that came up during the job. I am a retired engineer and was pretty picky on details of how the work was executed. All I can say is that the FSS managers, foremen, crews and subcontractors (Brian, Richard, Josh, David, and a multitude others) were always open and willing to adapt and make sure that the finished product was top quality. The work has just been completed and the independent inspector gave thumbs up to the final work product. The “cloud” enabled monitoring equipment provided by FSS talks to my smartphone and shows the system is maintaining the desired 50-60% relative humidity in the crawlspace (and even alarmed me when the power went down). My wife keeps remarking on how she can go all through the house and no longer smell any of the mold or dirt smells that had always been in the house. I now have a clean and dry mold free crawlspace where I can get anywhere to inspect. Looking back on where we were three months ago, all I can say is what FSS delivered was amazing. Good work guys.

You can’t go wrong hiring Foundation Support Specialists. They proved themselves to be true professionals before and after the sale. Brian did an amazing job of walking me through the process. Project Managers, Josh and David, did a wonderful job communicating with me during the installation. The guys did a great job cleaning up my house. If I had questions I could always reach Josh on his phone. These guys showed up and got the job done. During the routine follow up when the job was done I mentioned to Richard that I wanted some dirt moved. The next day guys showed up and took care of my request. Even after the bill is paid the customer service didn’t stop. FSS proved they were committed to my repair until every detail was finished. There are a lot of foundation repair companies, I chose the right one. I would hire them again, but I won’t need to. My house is not going to move again. I love the galvanized piers!

Foundation Support Specialists did an excellent job on my pier and beam foundation repair. Utilizing the 350, 250, and Crawl space jacks I am confident that my foundation will remain stable for as long as we are at the house. The warranty they provide is lifetime and is transferable. Not only was the house stabilized but one corner of the house was raised as much as 31/2 inches to bring the house back to level. I am extremely happy with the results of my foundation repair. Brian Holt’s experience with assessing problem areas of foundations needing repairs and providing estimates and procedures to make corrections is unmatched. Richard is excellent to work with and was very good about keeping us informed and in the loop about construction and scheduling. Josh was also there to answer questions and explain procedures on a daily basis. This communication to us as homeowners was much appreciated. Dave and his crew were courteous, polite, and hard working. They cleaned up the work site at the end of each workday. Foundation Support Specialists were able to rise to the challenge and complete the project and exceeded my expectations. FSS is run by people of character who will show up even after the bill has been paid to ensure that the customer is well taken care of. They don’t quit until the customer is happy. I highly recommend FSS if you are having foundation issues.

They were friendly, on time, courteous, and respectful. The ladies in the office were efficient and pleasant. The crew arrived as they said they would. They got right to work. They moved a few miscellaneous items out of the way and when I came back 4 hours later the chimney had been pushed back into place, the excavation had been replaced and they were just about ready to go. They left the yard in great shape and even the workers thanked me for my business. Excellent company, excellent service, would recommend.

A representative named Brian arrived at my home 15 min before our appointment and evaluated my foundation. Brian was very knowledgeable and I was expecting an over the top sales pitch but after he took all of his measurements ( about an hours worth) he advised me that while I did have some foundation movement It wasn't of the utmost importance to have work done at this time. Even though I didn't technically NEED any repair, Brian never the less devised a pier plan that would correct the current movement and prevent further movement. I was also expecting a huge price tag due to the research I had done on the type of piers they use but I found their prices to be entirely fair. Brian could have attempted to sell me something I didn't need ( yet) or talked circles around me with industry jargon but he left me comfortable with my current situation and a bit more knowledgeable on the subject of foundation work. I plan on using this company in the future.
