Is foundation repair covered by home insurance?

• <div><p>No, foundation repair is not usually covered by home insurance. Most home insurance companies typically consider foundation repair as part of your home maintenance, so they won’t cover the cost. However, foundation damage is sometimes caused by covered events such as a burst pipe or a house fire. In these cases, repairs may be covered.</p></div>

Q: Does foundation repair require a building permit?

• <div><p>Foundation repairs typically require a building permit, depending on the state and local jurisdiction. Make sure your contractor follows all building codes, and a local building inspector will review all work to ensure that it is up to code. Not following local building codes can prevent the sale of your home and potentially put your home at an even greater risk of damage if the work isn&rsquo;t done properly. You can call your local municipal office to confirm that your contractor has filed the necessary permits.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair a foundation before selling?

• <div><p>Whether or not repairing your foundation is worth it before selling depends on the extent of the damage, the cost of the foundation repair, and your timeline for relocating. If the damage is major or structural in nature, chances are you&rsquo;ll sell at a higher price if you take care of the problem beforehand. You should consider the cost of the repair first, though, as laying out thousands might not be possible with your budget. Additionally, if you&rsquo;re in a rush to relocate, you might want to repair before selling so as not to limit your buyer pool. </p></div>

Q: What can I use to repair a concrete garage floor?

• <div><p>You can use epoxy-based concrete fillers to repair small cracks and dents in the floor. For larger damages, remove any debris, then patch the cracks or holes with concrete repair products or resurface the entire floor. We recommend using fast-curing products that cure in four hours. You can also buy a pre-mixed concrete patch and leveler if you are only repairing parts of your floor.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a house with foundation issues?

• <div><p>You can buy a home with foundation issues, but understanding the extent of the problem and what solution you need is critical. If you learn that a home you&rsquo;re trying to buy has a foundation problem, it&rsquo;s not necessarily a deal breaker, but you should have a professional assess the issue to see how severe it is and know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-walk-away-from-foundation-issues.htm">when to walk away from a foundation problem</a>.

Shawn cleaned my house gutters and repaired seams that needed attention. There were trim boards adjacent to the gutters that were showing signs of wear and they were caulked. They will be ready for paint in the spring. Shawn is pleasant. Knowledgeable, and showed up when he said he would.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. DO NOT use this company. Company charges $289 to come out and look at your hot tub with the claim that the $289 will be applied to the total repair cost. Once they finally came to my house in mid July to look at the tub, the tech identified the issue right where...

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

He did not fix the car"s problem, and then told me to arrange towing and service somewhere else because he had "done all he could". The Dealership it was towed to then had to repair the damage caused by his mistake.

I am very impressed with the work. He was also able to complete the work in two weeks and also kept to the estimate. The team that came out to do the repair was very professional, curteous, and worked clean. I would recommend Anthony Simaitis to others.
