"Had Austin Smith & Derick Bievenue do some foundation repair at our house. They were on time, professional, and got the job done exactly how I wanted it."
"We had an attached screened-in porch that was sinking.Acculevel came in and detailed every aspect of the repair project and then followed thru to the most minuet detail. Excellent work and very detail oriented. Friendly and cooperative service team that completed the work. This seemed like what was going to be a complicated job, using augered jacks, concrete removal, and replacing trex floor. ...In a nutshell, they made what seemed hard..very manageableand 100% solved.Excellent service, excellant price......Terry M."
"Professional! Andrew recognized the root cause of the water entering the basement while other foundation experts were charging thousands more and never addressed the root cause. Andrew executed a simple yet elegant solution. The cost again was highly reasonable. Highly recommended."
After 30 years together, my wife and I bought our pickup and I am now looking to supplement my income by putting my pickup truck to work for me. Whether moving appliances or delivering purchases, I've got the tool for the job.
"They were responsive to every call, did the work professionally and cleaned up nicely. We would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. We had two leaning columns in the back yard that are now straight and piered so they will never shift again. They then removed a large area of cracked cement and relayed. It looks fantastic! "
"Perfect! All our questions were answered timely and with extreme professionalism. They showed up exactly when they said they’d be here. The dirt work was done when they said it would be, concrete was poured exactly when they said. They cleaned up all their own tools and trash. They did their job and didn’t linger. They offered suggestions to make the concrete look better and not crack as easy. There were no questions left unanswered! We would absolutely use Levi and his crew again!!!!"
"Jay did a great job. I underestimated the amount of work that needed to be done to fix my kitchen cabinets. We painted our cabinets ourselves and in the process did not hang them back properly. It was quite an undertaking to repair. Jay meticulously reconfigured the cabinets and repaired them to their original condition. I plan on hiring Jay's Handyman Services for other projects we have in the future."
"After scheduling the initial appointment, the provider had to re-schedule two times. However, they did compensate for this by providing free sanitizing of the interior passages which was a value of $216.00. Even though I had the vents cleaned in my house before, I didn't remember how many vents and returns I had in the house. So what I thought would be a cost of $89.00 turned out to cost over a $300.00. However, I did get free sanitizing which saved me $216.00. Steven and Dave were friendly and seemed knowledgeable. It's good to know since I got the sanitizing, I won't to have this service performed for another 7-10 years. I would have given them an A in quality, but after they had left, I noticed they hadn't put at least four of the vents back to their original position. Three of the vents I know are older and perhaps, they weren't able to put the vents back as they had found them. However, they could have mentioned this before they left to let me know that I probably should have them replaced. I gave them a B on pricing as I wasn't expecting to have to pay for additional vents and I don't know what the going rate is to have vents cleaned. "
"They crew was hard working in terrible conditions. They finished on time but had to work in very wet conditions because of water seeping into their work areas. Their equipment was always up to date and working properly. They brought the foundation back up and stabilized the house with piers down to bed rock."
You can patch minor cracks and damage yourself using concrete fillers or mortar. Larger damage may require full replacement of affected slabs. However, water damage to your concrete will never disappear unless you address the root cause causing the water to cumulate. To prevent future damage, you can also waterproof your concrete.
Cracked tiles can mean foundation problems. Fortunately, most of the time, cracked tiles happen as a result of accidental damage. It is important to determine the cause of cracking to rule out underlying foundation issues. If your tiles were not damaged due to dropped items, heavy loads, poor installation, or inferior tile quality, and the cracks are spreading throughout your flooring and not limited to just one area, you may be dealing with foundation problems. These can include drainage problems and even foundation failure, so it is vital to call a licensed contractor to assess the issue and ensure your foundation is safe.
Yes, you can fill cracks in concrete if you’re a somewhat handy homeowner. It’s important to know which concrete patching method to use, as small cracks require different approaches than large ones. It might seem challenging to determine which product to use and the tools necessary for the project, but with a bit of background, homeowners can restore their cracked concrete easily.
Minor hairline cracks in your concrete may not look pretty, but they’re often not serious. It’s when concrete cracks are larger—wide enough that you can slide a credit card into it—that you need to worry. If you monitor a crack and can trace its active expansion over time, you’ll definitely want to call in a pro to inspect it and, potentially, repair it. Want to prevent cracks in your garage and driveway concrete in the future? Stay on top of sealing. Here’s how to seal your concrete garage floor and driveway.
While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.
