Not all Foundation Repair Contractors are Created Equally
Some do not have the education or experience needed; there are no certification requirements to become a foundation repair contractor. Scary thought, huh?
• Some contractors walk around the house with a 4 foot level and make notes on a floor plan.
• Some read floor elevations with a water or ZIP level.
• Some only walk around take pictures and make notes on a floor plan.
• I have even seen some contractors merely walk around and opine on cracks. For example saying something like ”this crack is a normal settlement crack”. As if there is some definition of what a “normal settlement crack” is or is not.
• On one occasion one contractor…. for their investigation that they charged money, for simply presented a quote for soil borings from a third party geotechnical engineer.
Because of this widely differing methodology you might imagine there are a wide variety of results. How is a person supposed to know which one is right? Helping you find a structural repair contractor with a high moral fiber, who adheres to ethical standards, and will not forgo their integrity to make an extra buck is what this section is all about!
Arizona Foundation Solutions is different. We have the education, experience & repair options that will solve your home's foundation problem. The best part? We have offices you can visit, so you know who you are working with. Some local contractors are not only inexperienced, but they are operating out of their homes & are not able to offer a full array of solutions as a result. We are a foundation repair contractor with longevity & offer transferable warranties on our work. We are also a decorated company, having received such awards as Angie's List Super Service Award, Home Advisor Best of the Best and being a finalist TWICE for the Better Business Bureau's Torch Award for Ethics (2017 & 2018).
While you might not pick us to help with your home's foundation repair project, please make sure you are picking a contractor with the skills, tools & track record to take care of your biggest investment.
