Description of Work: Jonathan Maquire came out to inspect a foundation crack that we were worried needed to be repaired. After a thorough inspection he assured us that it wasn't a major structural problem but only cosmetic and we could handle the repair. We were greatly relieved and appreciated his promptness in coming out to our home and him not trying to sell us a repair that we didn't need. I would definitely recommend this company.

Response from Foundation Worx
[Member Name Removed], I'm surprised by your review of our meeting as we were early for our meeting, and made recommendations that you could do yourself that did not involve our company I'm not sure how we got this review. I'm sorry if we didn't meet your expectations but we try to look at every situation as if it was our home, and in your case we believe you do not have any foundation problems that need to be addressed at this time. A small retaining wall would help the erosion and keep the water off the house will help any future issues. If your garage column continues to settle or you sell your home we will be happy to help repair, but right now it's not an urgent repair. Thanks again it was very nice meeting you.

Mr. Clint Morris came to my house and checked the foundation and told me that there is no problem with the foundation. He was very honest and courteous. Sal, Norcross, GA

Description of Work: We were relieved when our general contractor, after tearing out 54 feet of wallboard in the basement, concluded that all of the wetness on the floor was due to the roof leak, not a foundation leak. The bad news was that the wall was bowing about 1 1/2 inches. We now have a lifetime warranty on the repair of our wall. | |With Jonathon you benefit from dealing with a person with a master's degree from Georgia Tech. He explained the problem, its causes, and the options for dealing with it. He said that 2 years ago 70% of the time piers were the best answer. Now after improvements in the carbon fiber materials, in 70% of situations carbon fiber (at half the cost of piers) works fine. He also surveyed the exterior of the house and made suggestions on inexpensive ways to divert rain water farther from the house. | |Overall, it was an unpleasant surprise handled well by a competent professional. | |

[Member Name Removed], I am sorry you had this experience with us. It looks like that the details were hard to get on our end. Angies List messaging is a very difficult and cumbersome system as you have to log in and check messages for every message and it doesn't let you respond from your email client. All excuses aside, we dropped the ball with serving you the way you should have been served. This is not the way we want to be treated and not the way we want to treat others. My sincere apologies for your bad experience with us. We'd be happy to come out at our expense and give you the help. If we can help then we'll give you the best price we can to get the work done. If Angie's List cannot refund the order, let me know and we will refund you fully. Sincerely, Jonathan Maguire - Owner of Foundation Worx

Description of Work: Jonathan did a through job providing the consultation we needed and a proposal to consider when we are ready to repair the problem. He recommend that we get 6" gutters first and see if that solves the problem. It takes integrity to recommend something that you don't provide. If we need foundation work, Jonathan will be our man.

Description of Work: He was awesome. He informed us of precautions to take to investigate further the water coming into the basement. He did not try to sell us for the sake of making money.

[member name removed], Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. I apologize if we didn't meet your expectations but please let us know what we could do differently in the future. We performed a comprehensive evaluation of the house to determine any water or structural issues and walked through many solutions to the problems. During this evaluation we do not try to sell anything and wrote a letter explaining our findings.

Repairs were done well. City inspector approved the work. The contractor coordinated with our pest control company so new trenching with treatment with Termidor applied while flooring was removed. I was shown the damage and repair at each and every stage. All my questions were answered patiently and completely. I would not hesitate to refer others to Foundation Worx, Inc.
Description of Work: Replaced a couple of rotted, termite damaged, support beams under a small historical building in Norcross (30071) which is a clubhouse for the Norcross Garden Club. The work required removing then replacing a section of flooring.

Foundation Worx was wonderful to work with. The owner, Jonathan, kept all appointments on time, and explained everything thoroughly. The pricing was transparent and competitive, and actually saved us money as he based it on actual footage drilled, versus requiring a minimum that might have been greater than what was needed. The job required coordination with several trades, including concrete company and mason, and they communicated with them. Foundation Worx accomodated many schedule changes due to weather and unforeseen complications, When they excavated to install the garage pier, they discovered that the garage slab was lacking a footer (thank you, builder). They came to us, explained the problem and the options, and rearranged their schedule to accomodate the delay while the concrete company installed the footer. They then worked into the weekend to finish the job, so that the concrete could be poured on schedule the following week. Their crew was the most polite, conscientious group of men that we have ever encountered, especially the foreman, Butch - who went out of his way to secure an additional plate to the new footer, since it was not poured exactly the way that he had requested. This caused him an extra day's work and on a Saturday to boot. If we ever need additional foundation work, this is the only company that we will call.
Description of Work: Installed 2 pre-construction piers to support a new porch which was replacing 2 prior versions that had a history of sinking; installed a pier under a garage post between 2 garage doors, that was sinking.- all of this work was done in conjunction with a driveway replacement

Foundation Worx did an outstanding job developing and implementing a solid solution for a very complex foundation and retaining wall issue we experienced. Jonathan McGuire spent a good amount of time with me both at my house and on several follow up phone calls working through a plan to correct our issues. He worked hard to stay with in my budget while maintaining the integrity of the solution. His team was professional and pleasant to deal with. They left the job site clean and finished the work on time. I would not only recommend them as a foundation company but as a model for other service companies to follow!
Description of Work: Fixed major issues with foundation leaks/cracks as well as secured large retaining wall.

The owner responded promptly to our call for an estimate and discussed several options. His crew arrived on the day we had agreed to and were very careful not to damage the lawn or shrubs that had to be temporarily removed. Everyone was courteous and very professional. We would definitely use them again.

Jonathan spent a great deal of time explaning multiple approaches and the benefits of each. He is an awesome consultant. He told me how to address my concerns simply, but using another type of professional service provider. He was focused on making a happy customer ... even if it did not mean business to his firm in this instance. I'd call on him again, and have every reason to believe he would do awesome work.
Description of Work: I called because of drainage adjustments I wanted to make in my yard.
