It supports everything else – walls, windows, floors, doorways, roof – so when your foundation is damaged, it can cause serious problems throughout your home. Like most things in life, your foundation is subject to environmental stress. Expanding and contracting soil, excessive moisture and inadequate drainage are some of the most common threats to your home’s foundation. Over time, environmental stressors can cause a foundation to shift, crack or settle unevenly. And homeowners often miss early warning signs of foundation damage. Homeowners spend about $4 billion annually stabilizing faulty foundations, and those costs may increase as more homes are built in areas known for shifting soil. Understanding risk factors and signs of foundation problems can help you protect your most valuable asset from irreversible damage.

We had an excellent experience with Olshan. They installed two helical piers on a corner of our home that recently experienced some settling. They were the ONLY company of 4 that sent out an actual structural engineer (Marc S.). Their quote was the most competitive and seemed to make the most sense for what we needed to be done. It was low pressure and Marc was very patient with many subsequent questions. After we committed they asked for no money up front. I paid half when they started and half when the job was completed. It took 3 days and minimal disruption at the home. I worked from home during the entire process. Matt L. was the supervisor on site the entire installation and was very responsive and informative. They allowed me to inspect all the work very closely as the job progressed and answered any questions about the installation/repair process. I could not be happier with how the entire process went and would highly recommend Olshan for foundation work.

I went on Angie's List and I saw them there, and I wanted 3 different estimates so I got them to give me an estimate. The estimate was comparable to the other one. They were really friendly. The price was very high to me. I have lived in this house since 1964 and my floor is uneven and it has never bothered me. I had put wooden flooring in the house and they couldn't put it there because of the dent, and they put linolium. I want to sell the house, so my son told me to get estimates to even the floor, and so that is what I did, and then we decided to stay.

Our house was built in 1972 and had settled roughly 5" across 25' because of inadequate piering and soil drainage.  Olshan installed 7 helical piers and cut 3 original builder piers.  In my mind I imagined a completely level house when we were done but the reality is that remodeling over 40 years and window replacements meant to do so would cause significant damage and cost to the rest of the house and plumbing. The crew arrived on time, worked quickly and when it came time to lift the house, spent a fair amount of time working with me to find a good compromise in elevation that would not create additional headaches.  In the end the foundation is now much closer to level and more importantly, stable.  This was the most expensive bid I received but the work was done professionally and as agreed.

It took longest just to get someone to come out to inspect and prepare a plan/estimate.  The crew that did the work started on time, was on the job early each day, kept me apprised of what was happening, and cleaned up and roped off the work area daily. They were finished even a day early, and left the property looking even better than when they started.  You'd never know any digging had gone on.  I am very pleased.

They were fabulous. I was very pleased with them. They left everything so clean, I didn't know they had been there. It took them one day to complete the work and everything has been fine since.

They spent a couple of hours doing their inspection. They didn't find any problems. They didn't charge us anything. They arrived on time. They were very professional.

After I called for an estimate, their engineer/salesperson arrived promptly and told me he would provide me an estimate in about a week.  Not having received that in over three weeks, I emailed the company.  They apologized and got me the estimate.  They worked with me on how they could adjust their recommendations to suit my budget.  Work crew arrived promptly as scheduled, figured out how to obtain/ remove materials through a window so as not to have to go through the house.  Knowing the nature of the fine dust of the deteriorating concrete in this 100+ year old home, I expected a there would be dust in the house - there was.  They did a great job on cleanup in the basement.   It seemed to me the workers worked extremely hard in an unpleasant crowded space to get a great job done.  Done in 2.5 days as promised.   I am very happy with the work they did. Meantime, the original engineer/salesman had said he would provide me with some names of contractors who did tuck pointing as Olshan did not.  In spite of reminders, a phone call, an email, I'm still waiting.  Nice guy, but not so responsive.   Workers made up for that.

I had a flooding problem in the basement. Water would come through the floor. They brought big crew about five to six guys, including the supervisor which worked along side with them. Excavated, installed piping, and installed the sump pump. They finished the job within the day. They only problem was that they did not lay plastic when cutting the concrete. Dust got all over the house, in the furnace, and in the carpet. I had some one clean it up and Olshan paid for it. I was very impressed with the service. I am comforted that the basement no longer floods.
