Foundation repair is not a small project, and the contractor you choose matters. Use these questions to get clear answers before you sign anything.
- What do you think caused the problem? A good contractor explains why the foundation moved, not only what to do about it.
- Which repair method do you recommend, and why? Ask what other options there are.
- Can I have a written estimate? It should describe the work, the materials and the number of piers or repairs.
- Are you licensed and insured? Ask to see proof, and check it yourself.
- What does the warranty cover? Find out how long it lasts and whether it transfers if you sell the house.
- Will an engineer be involved? Ask whether a report is recommended for your house.
- How long will the work take? Ask about the schedule and what you need to prepare.
- What happens to my landscaping? Digging may be needed, so ask how the area will be restored.
- Will drainage be addressed? If water caused the problem, the repair may not last without a fix.
- Can you share references? Ask for recent customers you can speak with.
Take notes, get more than one opinion if you can, and do not feel rushed into signing. When you submit a request through Greet Bless, a local contractor reaches out and you decide whether to move forward.
