The Foundation Works

The Foundation Works lives up to their 5-​star rating on Unilocal.Matt who did our inspection, was thorough and honest. He explained which repairs were needed, and also let us know which repairs were unnecessary. Shortly after, we received a detailed inspection report, along with the cost of work. When time for the installation arrived, Ian showed up promptly with his crew and banged it out ahead of schedule. Of course, I can’t attest to the quality of their work since it’s beneath my home, but it was good enough to get an approved from the City Inspector. Lastly, Danny did another follow-​up to ensure quality assurance on their end. All in all, the entire company seems efficient and good at what they do. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing foundation services.

Matt came on time and was very courteous and professional throughout the inspection process. Communication was fast and he gave an honest assessment of what our house needed. In the end, we decided to go with another company but will strongly consider them for future work and have no qualms referring them to our friends and family.

We were going to use them for a project, but I guess they were too busy and our project amount too small for them to work with our loan source. Maybe it was for the best that they declined.

We just had seismic retrofitting done on our house. I highly recommend this company. Everyone from start to finish was great to work with. They are professional, experienced and pleasant. Extra shout outs & thanks to Danny Crabb & his crew. They were on time, quick and cleaned after themselves so well you didn’t even know they were there. Many thanks to Matt Frey by going over and explaining in detail what your findings were and to answering any questions I had. And final thanks to Luke Matthews & Sharon for getting my job scheduled and done so quickly.

Call twice… no answer. Left message. No call back. Out of business? They’re off my list.

I wouldn’t wish foundation issues on my worst enemy. But I’m grateful that a company like The Foundation Works exists. We just bought a house and the general inspector found some issues that needed to be fixed. Matt walked me around the house and explained everything that needed to be fixed and what didn’t. Everyone from Matt to the actual crew doing the work were very professional, responsive, and did exactly what they said they would and in a very fast manner. And their price was more than fair. I highly recommend them.

Professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Every once in a while you find that service provider that just does everything right. Customer service is outstanding from the moment you call — and the inspection was detailed and comprehensive. They even advised me on areas they do not handle — like alerting me to a broken air duct under the house. They took time, explained what they found, and made me a smarter home owner by teaching me a few things about the type of foundation I had and the construction codes and designs from the year the house was built. They followed up with a report for my records.

MYron gave us a quote which was the most comprehensive. Daniel came on time with a great crew. They did the work. Showed us pictures. Got the Department of Building and Safety around in one day. Got us the inspection clearance and permit for our insurance.
Charged us exactly what they quoted .
I would definitely recommend them.

The employees completed earthquake rerofitting at my house today. I was very impressed by their professionalism. They were here very early, started work on time and finished the whole project in only 2 days. I have never seen such professionalism.
Thank you for for excellent work completed, promptly, and professionally.

Great service from Matt and his crew.
The problem with doing work to your foundation is that you don’t immediately see the results — it’s for piece of mind. For that kind of work, I’m glad I have Foundation Works to do the work because they are so professional, easy to work with, and trustworthy.

The Foundation Works lived up to their stellar Unilocal reviews. From scheduling an appointment for an estimate to the start and completion of the work, the Foundation Works team were impressively responsive, professional, courteous, and efficient. They would be my recommendation for any foundation work.

This company lived up to all the amazing Unilocal reviews. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the Foundation Works crew. From beginning to end they were informative, patient, and answered all my questions.
I had checked out two other companies then remembered a referral from the guy who did my inspection when I purchased my home.
I contacted Foundation Works and not only was the service great — the price was about $ 4,000 below the other bids. Other contractors were trying to rush me into a decision and somewhat intimidating. FW provided me with an assessment, then indicated what were «must do’s» and «optional» even if it was service they didn’t offer.
My neighbor also had some work done with them and we are all happy customers.

I only got a quote from Foundation Works due to all the Unilocal reviews. They showed up when they said they would with a whole crew. Job took 1 ½ days to complete. City of LA Inspector signed off on 2^nd day with certificate of compliance. Done !
House is around 3,300 sq ft for bolting, cost was $ 7,000.00
I’m happy. I’d use them again.

We had them inspect our home before purchase in 2006. They were very thorough and helped me understand a few things about concrete foundations I didn’t know. For one our 1949 foundation had several ‘pours’ which was pretty common back then but can create what looks a lot like a ‘crack’ and frankly freaked me out a bit. Luckily everything was okay and we moved forward. I just got selected to the EBB program and will likely be using them again. Well, at least I’ll get an estimate to start and see if I can manage with the $ 3K the program allots.
Bottom line: definitely recommend!

I was recommended by my brother to check out The Foundations Works. And I could not be more satisfied with work performed by the guys at Foundations Works. Very professional and knowledgeable. Ian arrived 15 min. before the appointment time and finished on time. Everything was cleaned up after the job was done. From the inspection of my foundation to finished job, whole staff was very friendly and guided me thru the process without any worries.
I recommend these guys 100%.

The Foundations Works is probably the best choice for any foundation repair needs. We noticed several cracks in our home’s foundation so we contacted The Foundation Works for an inspection. Myron came by and conducted a thorough inspection of our home’s foundation and provided many recommendations to address drainage issues from rainwater that caused several cracks in my home’s foundation. The pricing for the repairs was very reasonable for all the work that was provided. We did contact another foundation contractor earlier and the inspector spent half as much time as The Foundation Works inspecting our home and this other contractor gave us an estimate of over $ 9,000 of repairs! We are so glad we did contact The Foundation Works.
We scheduled The Foundation Works to perform the repairs and all repairs were done to our satisfaction.
The Foundation Works repaired 9 foundation cracks using pin and plate repair method; removed a wooden post in our crawl space area that was not needed (to prevent rot or termite infestation); moved soil about a foot away from the stem wall of the garage in the crawl space area to help prevent rot and termite infestation; repaired a section of my home’s wall that settled into the ground causing the wood structure to not rest/​connect to the concrete foundation wall – they used the «dry pack» repair method to fill the gap with high strength cement. They also drilled some holes in our brick planter walls to allow for proper rainwater drainage.
We sent pictures (via email) to Myron before and after the work was done and he answered all of our questions very thoroughly. In summary, we are very satisfied with the excellent service provided by The Foundation Works.

This company is amazing. I have been hearing a gurgling sound under my slab foundation and called this company for a free inspection. Both Tom and Myron were scheduled to come to my house between 11:30 — 12:30pm on a Friday. They called at 11pm to let me know they were on their way and showed up at exactly 11:30am.
They checked my entire foundation and were patient with trying to figure out the source of the «gurgle». They concluded that there are not any current foundation problems but promised to follow up with a contact for a company that could possibly help solve the mystery.
Only 4 days later Tom has followed up with me twice to get me a proper contact for my issue. I am blown away by his diligence in trying to help me and directing me to a completely different company. All of this consultation still falling under the «free inspection».
Foundation Works did not perform any sort of foundation work for me but I would recommend them highly to anyone needing foundation work as a starting point. The customer service was simply impeccable.

THE BEST!!! Thanks to the Unilocalers who steered me to this wonderful company.
Keith arrived and inspected our house around the periphery and crawled into the nasty crawl space as far as he could go in all directions under our 1930’s Spanish house.
We have been experiencing a frightening amount of cracks in our walls and a few doors have shifted. Our foundation had been reinforced with a thick cement wall and cripple walls by the previous owner. Before we purchased our house five years ago, our house inspector had assured us that the foundation is solid but having so many cracks and shifts had us quite concerned.
Keith made a drawing to illustrate exactly what is happening and assured us that the foundation is indeed in great shape. He said we only have to fix one of the sump pumps that seems to be in disrepair right now, and add drainage pipes for rainwater to be routed away from the house to keep the contracting and expanding of the ground between dry and wet seasons to a minimum.
Honest, thorough, dependable, knowledgeable and articulate. Thank you, Keith!!!

Married men everywhere know the terror of a wife who’s concerned about the foundation of their home. With cracks appearing at a steady rate throughout the summer, mine was projecting that our 60 year old house in the valley would require structural work into the tens of thousands. This was bad!
Enter Keith from The Foundation Works — smart, professional and rather reassuring. After touring the cracks both inside and out he explained how a house like ours will behave during a drought and that the cracks were superficial. He gave us some advice on how to manage rain overflow when (and if!) the rains ever do come and left us both feeling mightily relived. This was great!
We chose The Foundation Works on the strength of their Unilocal reviews and while we didn’t spend any money with them this time — you can guarantee that if and when we do need to do work, they will be a first call.

We would very call The Foundation Works in the higher for any building project and we would along with intensely suggest The Foundation Works to anyone who is subsequent to any nice of a remodeling or construction project.
Thanks for
