The first visit ok rough cost second time bid and contract. The crew they use are ok and work hard but turn over on crew The owner is young and hot headed and they do not comunicate with client's make sure you get dates in writing for the start date the have a few to many excuses on not showing up to pick up there trash and any tweaks that need to be fixed you do get a 15 year warranty my opinion the crew did a good job but owner need's training in Customer service

This company is very professional and very knowledgeable.  I have had a lot of work done by them in the past  and I would not have chosen another company for this work that I needed to have done in December , so I could sell my house.  Kevin, the owner, took one look at the hole under my home and knew what was needed to save the foundation from cracking in the middle.  The foundation was staying level because of previous leveling done by this company, but the dirt shrinking underneath the middle of the house did make the foundation very vulnerable to crack in the center.  Kevin immediately suggested "pumping" and that was done within a week of the discovery of the problem.  Then when I was in the process of satisfying a potential buyer about the house, the plumbing problem showed up, so I contacted South Texas because I trusted them to find some help for me that would not bankrupt me totally.  The called some other companies in my area and located some workers who were idle at that time and they hired them to dig a 37 foot tunnel under my foundation so that the plumber could fix what turned out to be two leaks.  This job was started right before the New year, but was not finished until January 8th, 2015.  It was done well, and then I could I could sell my home with the knowledge that I was selling something with no problems and with a warranty to pass along to the new owner.  I have heard from the new owner  that the company, South Texas, has been in touch and has reassured him that if he has a problem they will be there to fix anything under the warranty and provide help with anything that needs repairing or remodeling outside of the warranty . This is an honest company, their prices are fair, in fact many times I thought they were giving me such a good break, they were losing money on the deal. I no longer own the kind of property that would need their kind of service, but I would certainly recommend them to anyone who does need help with foundations, remodeling, plumbing, any work on houses. They are not only honest, they are efficient and knowledgeable.

I decided not to go with the contractor for several reasons.
1. They said they didn't do business with the BBB, i didn't know this was an option and it raised a red flag.
2. I couldn't find them in Angies list so they gave my e-mail address to one of their old customers who did give them a good rating on Angie's List. I didn't like the fact that they gave out my personal information to someone I didn't know.
3. The salesman was not very perfessional, he asked my elderly mother for a cup of coffee, we didn't have any and asked her to make some...he was very polite in asking, but i don't think that was acceptable.
4. The contract they gave me to sign had a totally different name on it and I received varying stories as to why...first they bought out the company, then it was an old company name...they had too many stories for me to feel comfortable in giving them that much money.
5. The price kept going down, from 7k then to 6.5k because they would use some materials they already had on hand, then to 6k if i signed today...then lower if Ilet them do it...this made me think they were way over priced to begin with.
Basically I don't feel like they were trust worthy and if there was a problem I feel like they would change the name of the company again to get out of it. Just my opinion.

They were involved in a big job in the Houston area, so it took a few weeks before they could get my way, but when they came they did the whole job as efficiently as could be wished for...They put bolts in the front wall and used some sort of foam that hardens when it is blown down in between the wall and the inside wall or whatever. It will last forever from all I have learned, but I could not tell you exactly how it works. I do know that because I have used this company before they gave me a price that probably only covered their cost for the front wall of $ 1,100.00. They used a new mold remediating substance, and sprayed into my vents and into my attic, and they did that twice. The cost for that was $4,000.00 and I can only hope that covered their cost. The repair under my back rooms, the tunneling and beams installed and the several gallons of slurry pumped under to stabilize the soil under my house cost $ 6,000.00. The whole cost represents all of these repairs. I think I received more for my money than I would have with any other company. These are very honest people ,and they are also very compassionate, and I know they gave me a cost break because they had done so much work on my house before. I trust their repairs, because I know they know what they are doing, and they seem to be able to do anything related to foundation and home repair. I am considering a "French Drain" to help further stabilize my "Texas" soil that is a problem, and I am talking to their foreman about that, because they can do that too. I have yet to find something they cannot do, and in checking with some other people who have had work similar to mine, I am finding out I have realty been given a much lower price than other companies would have charged. These people are gems, and I will use them any time I need home repairs, of just about any nature.

The work of putting piers all around my foundation and unfortunately I needed piers inside as well, started on March 4, 2010 and all were finished on March 10, 2010. While digging holes on the side of my house where my bathrooms are located, water was discovered in the freshly dug holes. This turned out to be sewer water from a series of broken pipes under the slab. Tunnels had to be dug to repair the plumbing leak. This was done very efficiently and then slurry was pumped under that location to stabilize the slab. Because of the sinking of my foundation before it was leveled, my attic needed some bracing in the rafters. This wonderful company put an expert in my attic and repaired and braced the boards that were lose. I really appreciated all this extra work done in my behalf. I am a senior citizen and any extra expense can be h****** my budget. These people have really gone the extra mile with me to repair my home so that I can continue to live here without troubles.
