"JACO saved my backyard project from being delayed any further. I needed an egress window well replaced due to poor workmanship from my builder 30 years ago-it worked but the cinderblock they used was laid in a crooked and uneven manner. We contracted with Acculevel to do the window well, but on the agreed date of installation which was 2 months later, they no showed. After playing phone tag with them, they ghosted me for 48 hrs and then said they were unable to do the project unless I had the window replaced by them with a 2500 increase in cost. Needless to say, We decided to get a new installer. I called JACO that evening and they were wonderful. Roger came out the next day and replaced the window well 2 weeks later. It looks beautiful and I am no longer embarrassed to have someone see it."

"Don't waste your time or your money. If their "lifetime" waterproofing doesn't work, they won't do ANYTHING about the damages caused by their faulty work. I had drywall up when they installed their system, yet they're trying to use the drywall as an excuse. Long story short, I wasted over $3000 for their system and I NOW have to pay more money for damages as well as getting a new system because they don't do ANYTHING BUT put their "waterproofing" system in place. They're also COMPLETELY disorganized. BUYER BEWARE."

"The phone receptionist was professional and outlined their process. She said the rates were based on $75/hour per person. I thought that to be a fair, and it would be if they actually kept close to that rate. She said they would show up ready to do the work and quote the job at that time. I was out of town the day they came, Garrad (the owner) showed up and immediately started saying to my wife how difficult it is to hang a chandelier on an 18 foot ceiling. (It is, but I would have done it if my ladder was long enough) This is his tactic to then quote the job versus a $75 per hour rate. He called me to quote $600 (or 8 hours of work) to hang one chandelier. My mistake was saying yes, assuming the $600 would come down if it went smoothly. It did for him, not my wife. She had to listen to a lot of babbling from him including "what is this wire for?". Umm, that's how the light gets power, she said. Is this a professional contactor??? It took him 5 hours to finish which included a lunch break and incessant talking. I had already assembled the light and sized the chain for the correct height. I also identified the correct breaker and wrote it on a note for him and my wife told me he still threw the wrong breaker! He had to set the ladder, remove the old, and install the new. When I heard my wife paid $600, I called Zimax to see why that was not corrected to a rate closer to the $75/hour, and said I was totally fine paying for 5 hours. (I could do this work in 2 hours with the right ladder) Plus, I had a larger project to hang barn doors after hanging the light. In conversation with Garrad, the excuses came fast and furious. He told me I should have said no to the $600, and he is right. The best excuse was "the time and care he takes to do it right". BUT IT WAS NOT RIGHT. He had not followed the instructions that were with the chandelier that specifically stated the power wire (now he knows what it is for) is to be strung every 3rd link of the chain. He threaded every link and when I got home to see the work, the WIRE was bearing the weight of the fixture, not the chain and support members. I got as high as I could on my ladder and relieved some tension, but not completely. Bottom line, he will find a way to double or triple the stated hourly rate and, in my case, did horrible quality work. I gave him ample opportunity to do the right thing and he chose not to even after pointing out poor quality work. You'd better be desperate to hire this company."

FAQs for foundation repair projects in Cincinnati, OH

If foundation problems are not fixed, not only do repairs eventually become very costly, but it can lead to structural damage to the house above. Eventually, if the foundation problems are allowed to persist, the foundation walls can cave in or collapse. That’s after other issues like flooding and mold have likely been allowed to develop. Although not all cracks are structural problems, some can be and even if they start out small, they can develop into major problems. The earlier foundation problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the cost to repair will likely be.

Yes, foundation repairs are worth the cost at any stage to avoid a dangerous living condition. A failed foundation can lower the value of your home by up to 20%. Whether it’s the smallest problem like a thin crack less than ⅛-inch wide, a horizontal crack, a crack letting water flow through, or a wall bowing inward, repairing foundation problems as soon as possible is worth the cost. Sometimes a temporary fix can be applied until you have the budget to completely fix the problem, but the longer the problems persist, the more costly repairs may be.

The most common first signs of foundation issues include: 

  • Cracks in the foundation walls that grow

  • Signs of moisture or water leaking through cracks in the foundation

  • Standing water in the basement

  • Sagging floors or walls

  • Cracked walls in upper floors

  • Doors and windows that don’t close properly anymore

Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.

If you’re noticing signs of foundation issues, the first step to fixing a foundation problem is to hire a foundation repair inspector. They will determine the problem, the cause, and the severity before recommending a course of action to repair the foundation. The method for fixing foundation problems depends on the problem and what options are available. A few possible solutions include:

  • Epoxy injections

  • Mudjacking

  • Piers made of steel or concrete

  • Jacks 

  • Hydraulic piers

  • Carbon or steel reinforcement strips

  • Waterproofing materials
