Foundation 1st, LLC

I just have to say, Brandon & the Foundation 1st team are incredible. I bought a house in 2023, had a house fire in 2024, and find myself as I write this review still displaced and running out of time on the rebuild. As the rebuild has progressed, a structural engineer identified that a support beam was missing in the “family room” basement that’s 3/4 below ground level. This support beam supports the 3 bedrooms of the house. With having my family & a 5 year old daughter, I really couldn’t stomach choosing not to replace it, but if you’ve never been in a house fire, it’s fighting tooth and nail to get 80% of everything covered by the insurance company. I couldn’t find someone to get this support done in the next few weeks without charging 2-3x. Then I found Brandon & Foundation 1st. I kid you not, gave me an estimate at 9am 8/13, job completed at 10am 8/15. Quality? 🤌🏼 Service? 🤌🏼 Empathy? 🤌🏼 100% took care of me! Thank you so much, Brandon & the Foundation 1st team!

I had a great experience working with Brandon from Foundation 1st. From the initial inspection to the final walkthrough, he was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to explain the foundation issues in a way that was clear and honest, without any pressure or upselling. Brandon and his crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the job site clean. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about helping homeowners protect their property. If you’re in Columbus and need foundation repairs, I highly recommend asking for Brandon at Foundation 1st. Solid work, fair pricing, and excellent service all around.

Brandon and his team were great to work with and very professional. I can tell they take a lot of pride in their work.

Everything worked out great! They showed up on time. They were very conscious of keeping our space clean. Workers were polite and very helpful. Definitely will recommend to others.

Brandon and his team did an amazing job fixing my foundation issue. I?ve used Foundation First multiple times, and every time they go above and beyond to ensure everything is done perfectly. Highly recommend!

They were prompt and efficient. Quality work

Needed a sump pump replaced asap on a Saturday. They were able to come quickly and replace the cheap original with a higher quality pump in less than 30 minutes. Would use this service again.

Brandon and his crew did a phenomenal job replacing an entire foundation wall and supporting another on a rental property of mine that was built in 1890. Because of them, I'm confident this house will still be standing for my family for generations

Would hire again. Great work.

Brandons crew was flawless, not only where they on time they worked consistently. They got the job done in no time. They were respectful, polite, I mean words really to me can not express how well of a crew he has. They were PERFECT!!!! I even called them back for another job and cant wait to work with them again. Their prices are fair and reasonable for everyones needs. I believe I have found my go to company. Thanks again Brandons crew yall were freaking awesome and I am and so blessed to have been able to get in contact with your team. Andrea 419 Deerfield.

They did a super amazing job. Our 1800â  s house looks like a newly built building. Thank you so much!

Brandon and his crew did an excellent job. Timely as well. Highly recommend these guys!

I was getting water in my rec room and wasnâ t sure which way to turn Brandon and his crew were great. They explained everything to me did the jobâ ¦there was no mess you would never even know that they had cut up the concrete to put in the drains, and installed a Sump Pump. We also discussed my downspouts because they were draining into the ground from broken pipe so that was also fixed.. they installed new piping in the ground and dug it to the street so it would drain properly.Also dug a line from the sump pump to the street on the right side of my house. All I know is I am 100% satisfied with this company and their work and highly recommend it to anyone having Foundationâ s issues

Had a very wet basement with water coming through a hole in the wall like a fountain when it rained. Water was seeping through in other places as well. Brandon and his crew waterproofed the basement about 6 months ago. He and his crew were professional, honest, reasonable priced and happy to answer questions. I waited a while to do the review because I wanted to see how the basement did after freezing, thawing and lots of rain. Well, it did great! There has been no noticeable water leakage since the work was done. Basement no longer has musty smell and basement is actually usable! Price was significantly less than the big waterproofing companies and I cant imagine the quality being any better! Highly recommend!!!

Brandon Chase is my go to for foundation issues! He came out to inspect promptly and got the crew on the site right away ! Made my tenant very comfortable with this issue we were having and handled it with professionalism . I would highly recommend this company

They are honest and forthcoming

Professional, friendly and willing to talk through options and explain the project details. Highly recommend!

Great work and communication throughout. Very satisfied and would highly recommend.

Brandon and his team were great. Brandon came highly recommended from a friend and he did not disappoint. His team was on time and on budget. Brandon was available for any question that I had during the process. I would highly recommend Brandon and will use them again in the future.

Brandon has been excellent to work with on multiple occasions. Over the last year, he has done over 50 I-Beam installations, multiple waterproofing systems and recently did an egress window install for me. Each job has been professional, affordable and as easy as it comes to work with.

Brandon and his crew were profesional, prompt, polite and friendly. Foundation 1ST will be our pick if needed in the future. Ken S Pataskala

Brandon was prompt and professional. He and his crew did a great job and found a creative solution for where the water for our new sump pump would dump. Very happy with the work.

Brandon was very responsive and easy to work with. The job was finished within the week and we will be hiring again in the near future!

Foundation 1st is a fairly new business but the owner, Brandon Chase is not new to this industry. When he cane to offer a quote for installing French drains at my home, he was on time, professional and offered solutions for the standing water I had in my back yard. He listened to my concerns and explained clearly what the work entitled. His quote was very much below the other two companies who offered quotes on this job. On the day of installation, Brandon and his crew arrived on time and worked continuously that day to finish before expected rain set in. This project was a little tricky as I have an electric fence around my property. They used caution to ensure none of the wires were cut while installing the drains across the front yard, to the street. Otherwise that could have resulted in a pricey service call to the fence company. Whew!! They replaced sod that had to be dug up; used some excess soil to improve the slope on the side of the house; and cleaned up all debris before leaving. I know I chose the right company for my project and would recommend them to anyone needing similar work done. By the way, my dog (Asher) approves of Brandon, too. They seemed to become good buds. 🐕 🐾 🐾

Replaced my drain tile to the street. Did a very complete job. I would recommend them for hire. Very pleased!!
