ALLIED FOUNDATION SPECIALISTS INC

Very good. After having a great experience with this company repairing my home's foundation, I went to them again when I learned that I needed repairs on my sewer lines. They replaced and re-routed all the lines. Very reasonable price and they did a good job. I'd hire them again.

It went great. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. I hired them because they had an established track record (you want a company that is still going to be around if you ever need warranty work), yet their prices were very competitive. I wasn't disappointed. Aside from some VERY minor issues during the installation, the crew was efficient and professional. The best part is that it's been almost three years since the installation and there have been no issues! Again, for the price you cannot beat them.

DO NOT DO BUISNESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!! At first, the lady who gave us our estimate was really nice and friendly until we gave them our business. Then if I would call her with a question or a concern, she would transfer me to someone else instead of try and help me. Well it just so happened that we had to reschedule our repair 2 or 3 times due to rain. When the day before came, I was called at around 5pm and told the guys would be here between 12 & 1pm on Wed. 1:30 comes around and no one yet, so I call and am told "oh, we have you down for 3pm today". I then ask them multiple times if they will be able to finish today (same day as start) and am told multiple times yes. FFwd to 6pm and the foreman tells me they will beed to be back the following day to finish. I had other things scheduled to happen at our home and told him that would not be possible. The foreman did tell his guys to stay and they finished everything by 7pm. As I stated earlier, this happened on a Wed. I was contacted about payment the following day, Thursday and informed them I was paying with check (I had informed them of this prior to work being done also). The woman I spoke to on the phone, told me she would see if one of their guys could stop by and pick up the check and she would call back. After an hour, I called them back since i hadn't heard anything, and was told she was waiting for him to call her back and she would yet again call me back. Needless to say I waited all day Thursday for a call or someone to come pick up the check and nothing. Friday comes and I thought since they are a buisness, they would have business ethics and surely I would hear from them then. Waited all day again and nothing. FFWD again to Monday at 3:20pm as I am walking out my door and a guy shows up wanting payment and to finish pprwrk. I told him I was unable to do it today and he would have to come back tmrw. I called and spoke with Zack the Office Manager and he was so incredibly unbusiness like, a total jerk and as I was telling him that they needed to send someone else tmrw as I was never communicated with about this being right now. But instead of him recognizing that ALLIED messed up with being so unorganized, and apologizing, he tells me hes calling their lawyer to put a lien on our house!!!! Like are you friggen kidding me. I didnt withhold payment nor anything of that nature and waited for 2 days for them to come pick it up and now when its convenient for your company I am supposed to drop everything to "finish pprwrk". Uummm no! I have every single phone call recorded too as a "just in case".

Extremely well. The process was stressful, but the Foreman, David M was reassuring and informative during the entire process. The work crew was efficient and careful with the inside and outside of my home. After completion, I had some concerns. Called Allied, they immediately addressed the issues with ease and assurance. I choose Allies Foundation out of 9 other companies. I feel I made the right choice. I would definitely recommend this company. The price was fair.

they did a great job leveling the foundation. There were large cracks in the mortar for the brickwork afterward. I called to complain about it and they sent someone out the very next day to repair. It looks much better now.

With a little more thought to their lifting method the brickwork would have survived better. A 3' crack in the chimney and several other large cracks in the brick after leveling. I called to get a referral for repairs and no response. The crew was very polite and punctual.

??? The doors that didnt closed before are closing fine now but two doors that we didnt have any problems beforedont closednow. We had to refill 3 of the holes they digged out to place the cylinders.

The service went well.

I must say they did a excellent job . Very professional and keep me informed with what they were doing.

I was very happy with them.  My house is an older home and it's a block.  They were the first ones that I called and they didn't rip me off.  The price was really good.  They have about 14 trucks and only 1 truck does houses like this.  They came out with 7 men and they had my house fixed in about 2 1/2 days.   It was horrible.  The people that owned this house and actually built onto this house back in the 50's, they built the bedroom over the top of an old sewer drain.  They did not the disconnect the lines.  It wasn't sewer but it was rain water.  The old fill lines, they didn't take out, so rain water would leak in there.  Over the years gradually it was seeping out.  It's probably what rotted my sub-floor and a lot of my beams.  I was very pleased with the crew that came out.  They got along real well.  Most of them were Spanish speaking but they have one guy that was English speaking.  They were just very nice.  They did a very good job.  They go all over Houston and where ever they're called.  They're a big company.  I think they have over 1400 employees and 14 trucks.  I was very pleased.  You get a one year guarantee. I was actually in the house while they were leveling it and it was pretty bad back that way and I have to say my floors are all level now.  That's what I'm happy with. I don't have to move out.  It was very affordable also.  I thought it was a great price.  I had been told nightmares of $20,000 and $30,000.  I thought they did a good job with what they had to work with.  On the last day of the job was when we discovered the old sewer tank.  Someone had put a board over it and dirt and one of the men's elbow fell into it in the water.  So I had a sewage tank come out and they said it was just rain water so they sucked it out.  We got it all filled up with bank sand and concrete, so I don't think this is ever going to fill up again.  I definitely would use them again.

I called and spoke with Will to have someone come out and look at the garage foundation, I knew I had a problem since I could see the crack running the length of the garage and the brick pavers had become unlevel on the side of the garage. Will asked me the questions...do you see any cracks in the sheetrock? are the doors hard to open and close? My answers were no, but I still needed someone to come out. He informed me they could not fix my problem and would not come out. Sounds crazy but I had to go through many people and had to tell them yes, there were cracks in the sheetrock so they would come out. I have never had to beg someone for their services. Finally, the inspector came out and said I needed 16 piers to level the foundation. Hmmmmmmm. On to the actual repair...the team came out when scheduled and began the work. A total of seven men started the digging process. It was hard for me to watch as my azaleas were removed, the deck boards lifted, pavers pulled up and the driveway jackhammered, but I knew it had to be done. These guys worked extremely hard even through the rain. All 16 piers were installed, some as deep as 18 feet, all in one day. Everything was replaced exactly as it looked before they arrived and all the mud and dirt was cleaned up before they left. It looked like it did before they started. Great job. I do need to comment on the woman that came out on the job....I guess she was making sure the project was going well. Her attire was definitely not appropriate for the workplace, she should never dress like that around all those men and she brought her young daughter with her. It was not very professional at all. Richard Pacheco, the owner, needs to be aware of the issues I had trying to get them to come out...I can't imagine how much work has been lost trying to get someone to come out. And he needs to make sure the woman that came out to the job is properly dressed. Other than those two issues, the actual job was great.

Within a few months, the house started cracking again. The more they come to repair, the more damage they do. They have been to my house 4 times. The last time they came, they did major internal foundation damage. They were supposed to come back and take care of it, but I haven't seen them since then.

They gave me a quote in quickly and then schedule the service quickly. They showed up early (I like that) and had the job done before noon. I am very satisfied with the results and would definitely use them again.
