Most professional contractor I have ever worked with from the site project managers to the office staff. Very understanding, prompt and quality work. Warranty is honored and truly a team of experienced professionals. I highly recommend them.

G. L. Hunt was awesome to deal with and their crew did an excellent job lifting the foundation of my home. In my case, the foundation was tilting and causing cracks in my walls and I was unable to open my back door. After the lift, most of the cracks sealed themselves up and the back door now opens freely. I am really pleased the the work of the G. L. Hunt crew. They were very professional and kept me informed on everything they were doing. I would highly recommend G. L. Hunt for any foundation lifting needs. Thank you!

Just wanted to let you know that this crew was GREAT. Alex and his crew made me feel like I was the only customer. They were so attentive, responsive to any concerns or questions I had and took immediate action if it was needed. Your company will be the only company I will recommend. It was professional and super friendly from the first meeting with Dustin, the Officer Personnel up to the last day with Alex and his crew saying thank you for my business. My neighbor even made comments how friendly the crew was and she was impressed at how great they cleaned up afterwards.

The repair went well but not quite an A. It will be years (hopefully) before I will be able to evaluate if the repair stabilized the foundation. The one issue I had was that there does not appear to be enough office staff. I was told several times that I would be contacted or receive things and had to follow up (sometimes multiple times) to receive what I asked for. I was told by one office staff member that they are so busy that they sometimes miss getting things done that they commit to.

Response from G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. However, I'm a bit confused as to why we got a C rating. I reviewed your file and you filled out the sign off sheet saying everything was excellent and even wrote in the comments that the crew did an excellent job. We don't forget about our customers after the work is complete, however, we typically only hear from them when they need adjustments made as per their warranty. It shows there was a follow up call made to you after the work completed to go over how everything went. So please let us know how we can make you 100% satisfied. We use all feedback for training so we greatly appreciate anything you can tell us about what lead you to leave us a C.

The salesman sold us on a job that was not what he sold. The job started a day late, took 1 1//2 days longer and almost went over the weekend with 11 holes surrounding my house. Most of the crew were very hard workers but a few liked to take long breaks, sitting in our outside rocking chairs leaving chicken bones for our dog to choke on. I was to told that when they left, I would be left with a foot high wall of dirt/concrete surrounding 3 sides of my house. The hoses that were dug in the patios were filled quickly at the very end of the job and dried uneven and look sloppy. I had to call 3 times to get someone to come back out to fix the cracks in the outside walls as promised by the salesman. I was told that there would be a job foreman visiting at least once a day and would keep me updated on the progress. I saw him once, the very last day to get the check for the job.

Thank you for leaving us a review, but I am confused by the D rating. I reviewed your file and you signed off that the work was done excellently, the clean up was excellent, and that the crew did a great job overall. Can you please return our phone calls to let us know how we can make this right? Unfortunately, we did not know there was a problem since the sign off sheet spoke so highly of the work and crew, but I can assure you we want to make sure you are completely satisfied. We look forward to talking with you.

Very professional. Repairs done within the timeframe given. They were reasonably priced. I was ripped off by another company prior to hiring G L Hunt. Received a quote from another company for a ridiculous amount. They spent 3 hours in my home with a high pressure sales routine. An engineer referred me to G L Hunt. I am impressed with their work ethic and the quality of their work. So glad I hired them. I tell everybody about this company.

The estimator was professional, polite and knowledgeable. They were able to do the job within two weeks of us accepting the bid. The crew that came out were hard working and very professional. They made sure we were completely happy with their completed job before they left. Mr. Lopez and his crew were very professional and very kind. He kept me informed as to where they were in the job and periodically had me come out and inspect areas to make sure I approved of the work and clean up. His crew worked hard and continually until the job was done (Which I know was not easy as it had rained a lot the night before). The whole crew had very good attitudes. I say that because, they could have been grumbling or not happy about the conditions, but with all my interactions with them, they were smiling and had an upbeat attitude. Having foundation issues is not pleasant and is difficult as a home owner to go through. It was very much appreciated that their company understands that and hires people that care and treated my property with respect. Kelli Gill

This work was done for my sister who is 70yrs old and disabledAda . They took 2 days to do the work they didn't even give the cement time to cure. They tore the Hardy Plank siding out all the way around, then told her if she didn't hire someone to put up metal flashing it would void her warranty. Me being a 57 yr old woman I did it for her. I crawl under the house every 3 months to take pictures to show how bad it is. I finally got them to send one of their guts out to see what they had done to my sisters house as he crawled under the house he kept saying this is not acceptable. He told us they would be back to fix it ASAP well next week will be 1 year. We call pretending to be someone else and ask questions such as even though it's been raining can you still do the work they say "of course" then we ask why they haven't they hang up on us.We hired an inspector $1200. to look at it he refused to go under the house sighting it looked too dangerous. Meanwhile my sisters house is now falling apart. I had to go under it to reattach the tub drain because it had shifted so bad. It moved one night so abruptly that a crack opened up in the kitchen wall it shot 1/2 the switch plate off into my arm and a window shattered. I truly believe they saw my sister as being physically impossible to look under the house to see what they had done. Basically G.L. Hunt charged my sister $15,000. to destroy her home.

Response from G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair
I would love to discuss these issues with you further. All calls incoming and outgoing are not only recorded they are entered into the customers profile automatically. We only show two calls from you addressing a water issue back in August of 2018. We installed sonotubes on your sisters home, and our work was not only overseen by the city, but by the structural engineer as well. Sonotubes are poured and then a week later after they cure we come back and pull the papers and do final cleanup. Once our work was completed your sister filled out a report stating the work completed was excellent, the engineer signed off on the work completed, and the city agreed with the work completed and closed the permit. If you called under a fake person asking if we do work during the rain the answer would be yes. We typically attempt to work in the rain as long as it's light rain. However, if we arrive at the home and the soil is saturated or there is water standing we will not be able to work. So every house is on a case by case basis. I have never met an inspector that would charge $1200 for a house of your sisters size, but if he was unable to do an inspection I would hope you would get your money back. I find it hard to believe it was too dangerous as the city inspector and the structural engineer had no problem. Based on your file I do not see where a service order was ever called in since August of 2018. Since your sisters home is still under warranty I will be happy to have our staff call and schedule a service order with her. This is the first steps to resolving any issues. In the future if you are unhappy please call us. In addition your sister was provided a structural engineer that would have been happy to come out and evaluate the home again and suggest any adjustments needed. G.L. Hunt is a great company that is backed by our reputation in the business for over 30 years. We do not take advantage of people and our goal is to always help in any way we can. The first step, however, is contacting us legitimately and requesting a service order. I will start this process for your sister.

Response from G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair
I believe you have mistaken us for another foundation repair company. We do not have a man and woman team that do inspections on homes. The person that came to your home is Josh Kovatch. He did an evaluation and determined there was no foundation repair needed at this time. So then he went over maintenance things you can do to help your home from moving as well as help prevent the need for foundation repair. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us as it shows in our records we haven't been to your home since last year in July.

Mr. Farmer was polite, courteous, and very professional. He inspected our home, looking in every room for signs of foundation problems. At the end of the inspection, he told us we did not have foundation issues. The issues that prompted me to call, were only cosmetic. That was a major relief. We would highly recommend Chuck Farmer @ G.L. Hunt, at the San Antonio office.

Crew did a clean job with both foundation repair and drainage improvements surrounding the house. Parts of the house still didn't line up quite right, but that's to be expected of an older home. Came back a year and a half later with very significant settling - in retrospect I should have been more timely and gotten back within the 1-year warranty. The field man actually told us, mistakenly, that we were covered under warranty and then much later redacted the mistake, so we felt tossed around a little. He said he called numerous times to get in touch with us, but we've made multiple calls trying to arrange something with them. To G.L. Hunt: if you call a client, get voicemail and don't leave a message, it should be counted as good as not calling at all. A very detailed, timely and conscientious consumer may have no problems at all, but with our specific situation it was more work for us on such an expensive project than we would like. Thank you for your efforts on the house the first time around, but the follow-up care leaves us taking our business elsewhere in the future.

Despite apprehension and the amount of time it took, 7 days, I feel they did a great job. I initially dealt with Dustin and Taylor, Dustin for inspections and Taylor provided customer support answering every question I had and also alleviating any concerns throughout the entire process. This made a great foundation for trust, excuse the pun. Johnny was the site lead and communicated continually and was always available for any of my questions, consummate pro. Now work was completed 13 January and we noticed right away where we had issues that they'd been rectified by the leveling. I'll continue to engage with them to make sure I do my part to ensure all their hard work is taken care of. The process is not perfect, weather delays and such are to be expected, lots of dust in the house if they do internal piers, expect it, you're gonna have to do a lot of dusting and cleaning post work. I expected this because Johnny and I talked about it, great communication form everyone, thank you for outstanding work and attitude. Afterwards--Post plumbing test failed on sewer, they had company come out and we got that set up and completed. Expect plumbing work if you have a major shift, factor that into everything before having your foundation done, saves a lot of frustration after the fact. But again was info I got from plumber fiends and GL Hunt mentioned so feel like everything was kind of covered.

Second company that dropped the ball as far as contacting me. This company didn't even reply to the Angie's List message. After a few days tried to call office (9:30 a.m. on a Monday). No one answered the phone and no offer to leave voice mail. Wanted an estimate to level a pier and beam home in Austin area. Guess they have more business than they can handle....

It went really well. I appreciated the open and honest conversation. The company presented several solutions in addition to discusssing the pros and cons with me about each. In the end with their help because of their honesty we decided to peruse the landscape regrade option which meant that they would not get a French drain job. I have come across few companies who will do what is right and in the best interest of a client at the expense of their own business but they did and it was a refreshing experience.

GL Hunt were prompt and efficient in everything they did for us, from scheduling to the actual execution of the agreed upon work. They have a team that have exceeded our expectations before and after the work was done on our house. One year after the work was done on our house we had some questions about the work done and the GL Hunt team was very responsive to our request and were able to go over the work that was done so that we could quickly move forward with a bigger remodeling project. I could not recommend a company more for the quality of their service.
