Our foundation is well protected and determined that further retrofit was unneeded.

They showed us the plan of what we needed based on our area. I was given a timeline for completion and they finished on time. They were polite and courteous. They took care of the necessary permits. It was a very easy process.

This company is a complete rip-off. They took payment, showed up for a cursory inspection, and then never sent the report/estimate. I called 3 times. They promised to send a report, but a month later, have sent nothing and stopped returning calls. Clearly, companies are busy after the rainy season, but it is inexcusable to take money and then disappear. Stay away from this company.

They came out, but it didn't work to well. It was a day after rain and it was muddy. The guy was reluctant to go under house and look. He took pictures and said he would send a report and I haven't heard back from him.

It only took him about a half hour to do the inspection, he couldn't find his flashlight then had to run off to keep another appointment. He didn't do anything well he was very unprepared. 

I would tell others to save their money and don't use them. 

The first time I had an appointment the guy never showed, second time he was late and now no follow up. Sometimes you get good companies and sometimes not.

They did a good job of inspecting the house. They told me it was going to cost $25,000 and multiple permits to try to rectify it. I'll take my chances with the earthquake. There was an inspector here and he examined the foundation and he looked under the house. He was thorough and communicative. I have no gripe against him. It's just that the amount of work that he felt was necessary was beyond my financial needs. I didn't have any comparisons.

Wonderful customer service throughout the whole process. They were punctual with everything from start to finish and their prices were reasonable. I was helping my disabled grandmother to get some foundation work done on her West Hollywood home. Even though I don’t live in Los Angeles, California foundation works made sure that the whole process went as smooth as possible without me having to fly there. The inspector was very thorough in answering the questions and wasn’t pushy at all. It’s because of this kind of customer service that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s not just the customer service but the foundation repair was exceptional too. The job was done right, they provided me with pictures and everything was signed off by the city department of building and safety. I highly recommend this company with full stars!

They were on time with a crew of 6 and proceeded to rectify the foundation problems as stated in the contract.  Clean up afterwards was impressive.  I would certainly use this firm in the future should the problem arise again and would refer them out.

I was VERY pleased with the work that California Foundation Works did for our house. We had a large hole in our foundation with a lot of the area crumbling away in about a 10 foot area. I had 4 different foundation companies come out to give estimates, including one other that I had previously used before and liked. However, after talking to each company, California Foundation Works was the only company that was interested in getting to the root of the problem...which was drainage issues. They took one look at the problem area and figured out that needed to be done.  All the other companies just wanted to fix the section of foundation and that's it, or in the case of one company, they tried to use scare tactics to get me to replace half my foundation for 70k, and then got mad and yelled at me when I pointed out that the other 3 companies didn't recommend anything even close to what they proposed. The fact that California Foundation Works was honest from the get-go meant a lot. On top of all that, California Foundation Works gave an extremely competitive estimate. When it came time to do the work, they communicated with me very well the entire way, they worked very fast, and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend them to others!

This was a $49 big deal purchase. It was not that great. They did the inspection, then they came back and the guy said he would be sending a report. I never got the report. It was the holidays so I called him back after the holidays and they said that they had a computer glitch and they were glad I called so could they send someone else out to inspect again for the report. I said, sure. Someone was scheduled to come out and my husband was home from work. They were already scheduled to come out so we were waiting for them. I guess he was outside so they called. I think they were supposed to be here at 9:30 in the morning, but they called and left a message that they were confirming. He tried to call back, like, 10 minutes later, and got an answering machine. They never came back. Frankly, because of waiting so long and then having to reach out to them, and then losing the report, and then having them not show up, and then having them call not to confirm, but to schedule an appointment, I just did not contact them again. They never contacted me about rescheduling. The first guy was punctual, the second guy was a no-show.

I think this deal is miss leading.
I was under the impression that I would get a written analysis of my situation.
Instead I received a pretty pricey estimate of repairs. This seems like a way to trick customers in.

Response from California Foundation Works Inc

"Dear Mikael, Our big deal promotion specify that we will inspect your property and will provide you with a detail estimate of our findings and the scope of work in case you will need to have work done. We never provide any of our client with work they do not need to do in order to have their foundation in the best shape possible. We are very sorry for any inconvenience it may caused you. We strive to provide all of our clients the best customer service possible. Is there anything we can do to in order to keep you as our happy customer?"

Response from California Foundation Works Inc

"Hello, We are sorry you were unhappy with our service. We did explain that the inspection was $300. If work was needed, we would credit the $300 to the cost of the work, if no work was needed, the $300 would be charged for our services and filling out the form for you. You expressed you did not like that and asked for a discount and we told you that we were sorry and would not be able to change company policy and lower the rate. You continued to express your dissatisfaction for some minutes then said that you could go to any number of other places and they would do it for less money so we wished you the best of luck with this process. If anything we did was not to your liking we truly are very sorry and do hope you had a wonderful experience somewhere else! All the best to you!"

Response from California Foundation Works Inc

"Hello, we apologize for it taking so long to respond to this review, we are only now seeing it. We certainly did let one of our inspectors go, I genuinely hope that at the time we offered you to redo the inspection for you. If you haven't already completed your project we would love to come out and do another free inspection for you! Please call the office at 323-418-2239 to set that up, and if you have already completed it, then we apologize and wish you nothing but the best! California Foundation Works"
