AFS reps responded promptly to our call, came out, spend a lot of time inspecting, explaining and creating an estimate for several things that they said needed to be done. Among their recommendations was digging down 14 feet to install helical piers. We had some significant sticker shock from the whole package of estimates. They offered a discount if we acted quickly. They called later and offered...

I chose not to use them because of price. The other contractor that I used, I had a personal friend make the recommendation, that I gave greater weight to, and that is why I chose the other one.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
They gave me a quote and I didn't use them.

I did work with them, but as I remember I had three companies I was working with, I did not select that company. Their representative was very knowledgeable, and they would have been my second choice, but I went with a company here that is a local company. The other company had what I call a satellite company here. They were very professional, and I just thought I would get better service from the...

The salesman was punctual and polite. Aside from one comment (discussed below), he was not personally objectionable in any way. He went over his proposals during his sales pitch, while showing us videos of the company's products and describing the urgency and necessity of each product. Then he said if we sign a contract and make a down payment "right now" he can give us 10% off, but the discount w...

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Minor cracking in drywall on the 1st and 2nd floors of our home lead us to investigate whether we had foundation issues in our crawlspace. We called AFS for a free estimate (as advertised) and they sent a salesman who spent several hours looking under and around the house. His assessment was that we needed a drainage system, two sump pumps, several structural supports, full crawlspace encasement, a dehumidifier, and foam jacking for part of the slab in our garage.
