I had a piece of aluminum trim that had ripped away from my tri-Toon boat. Zach not only welded the piece back for me, he added a piece of aluminum to keep the problem from happening again. He was polite, friendly, and affordable. I would highly recommend him.

"Two years ago my wife and I noticed that our foundation was beginning to settle. We had huge cracks in the dry-wall and our front door wasn't opening and closing properly. We decided to contact Advanced Foundation Repair and Replacement, owner Frank Matyiko. He got a structural engineer to our house. The engineer recommended that we needed twelve piers in order to fix our foundation. the entire construction project went as planned. Advance Foundation provided us with a transferable warranty in case we decided to sell our home.
The overall experience was wonderful their crew was very professional and we would use them again and recommend them to anyone!!
