Best house leveling pros near Eagle Pass, TX

"It was a very large project and took 9 workdays in total to complete. Fernando Osorio (the crew foreman) was awesome as was the rest of his crew (Mark Willis, Barton Aleman, and Octavio Jacobo). They all worked very hard and most days were long hours. Fernando kept us informed about what time they’d be showing up as well as the plan for each day. Our house still isn’t completely level but it was extremely unlevel before their work and we feel like they got it as level as it could get. In the past, I have not been satisfied with most contractors who’ve done work for me but I’d definitely recommend Fernando and FSS to others."

"Awesome job! Driveway and side walk looks new after leveling. I highly recommend Bairds."

"My elderly mother's house has many cracks in the walls, and the front door at times is very difficult to close and lock. She even got locked out of the house once because the key wouldn't turn in the door, which has been raised and lowered repeatedly. That scared her and she sought an estimate of how much it would cost and what would be involved in getting the house leveled again(It had been done in 1987, too). Her contractor arranged for the man from Olshan to come out, which he did.
After carefully looking at the cracks and asking questions about the house's construction, he used an electronic device to compare the changes in the levels of the various parts of the house. He found as much as 9 inches difference from the front to the back of the house. He said that a newly constucted 30ft wall should have no more than 3/4and quot; change from one end to the other.
We sat down to talk about the situation and he told us the house and the whole neighborhood were built on an area of expanding clay (we already knew this) and that although the 1987 work done by another company was pretty good for the technology available then, unless the concrete pillars they installed had reached down to solid rock(and this clay is as much as 14 ft deep in some areas), the cracks would return and continue, which they have.
Now here is where his honesty and integrity really kick in---he said that because there was no way to guarantee the work (Olshan does a lifetime guarantee), they would NOT do a foundation and quot;Repairand quot; on the house. He talked about the seasonal nature of the clay's expanding and contracting, and told us if they were to do the work, the presence of the concrete pillars from the previous work would make it even harder to put in their piers (they would have to drill through the old ones--very expensive!). He said we could spent a lot of money and have cracks again within six months. So this young man apologized and declined to do the job! WOW! Honesty and integrity! We were impressed and thanked him."

"This company was really great. I am very happy with the foundation repair and leveling that they did on my home. I had hired another company 2 years ago that didn't do a good job. Aztec fixed my house and it looks 1000 times better than it did before. The workers were really nice and professional. They took care of problems without me having to be standing over them. I would recommend this company to anybody needing foundation repairs or leveling."

"Wally was able to take our general ideas for a sun room & turn them into a quality work of art.  His architectural knowledge & experience was extensive & his recommendations on hardware, materials of construction, best practices, etc. was impressive.  We went through several revisions as our ideas evolved & Wally was always patient, available & very professional.  His graphic systems allowed us to make revisions as we discussed the designs & see the results instantly in 3D views.  The level of detail was such that we felt we were standing in the new room.  Our Homeowner's Association indicated that it was among the best packages it had seen & approval was very quick.  We would highly recommend Wally."

"The Tech was polite and respectful; he was very knowledgeable and was determined to find the issue of the leaking water from our common shower to the bottom level of our home."

"Anyone with a major home improvement project that needs to be done, done right, and done quickly, would be, in our opinion, well advised to hire Aztec. We would hire the company again without a moment’s hesitation, for it does high quality work right the first time, and it works quickly. Aztec undertook four major jobs for us: it leveled our foundation, put on a new roof, replaced a patio roof that had become separated from the house and fixed a major plumbing problem resulting from poor construction practices in the sixties. They had to break through a concrete patio and tunnel our kitchen to fix the problem. The work was done expeditiously and we’ve had no problems since. We are practically living in a new house. We originally hired Aztec to level our foundation on the recommendation of a next-door neighbor, who also had his foundation leveled by Aztec. Our projects done quickly, and one benefit of hiring Aztec, if there potential problems, they will tell you while they can be fixed at minimum expense. I should add that Aztec’s workmen are total professionals. They are experts at their work; they clearly know what they are doing (and they are willing to do a little extra). They show up at the job site when they are supposed to, they work all the time they are on the clock (they don’t waste time standing around talking or fiddling with their cell phones), and, they are polite and courteous. We don’t see how anyone can go wrong with Aztec. Donald & Beatrice Newman Edinburg, Texas"

On September 17, 2015 the crew of Baird Foundation completed foundation repair to our house.  I am very disappointed in Baird Foundation.  They used the bait-n-switch on me, maybe because I am a woman, not sure.  Baird?s foundation specialist (salesman) came out to give me a quote, he did his inspection of the foundation on July 16, 2015.  He gave me a verbal quote (estimated on his  laptop) and verbally quoted me around $16,000+ (don?t remember exact amount) saying our house needed 28 piers to fix foundation. After he gave me this quote I told him that was too high, much higher than another competitor.  He asked who and I stated StableLift.  He said he knew them.  After answering a few of his questions about competitor?s quote (how much was their quote,  how many piers, & if needed piers inside), he stated the house only needed 14 piers for under $11,461.75 and the house would pass inspection if we sold home.  The other 14 piers didn?t  need it now, maybe later on.   So we chose Baird based on the specialist?s representations.  When the crew came to install piers, their foreman, Diego, said we need additional piers on the other side at a cost of an additional $10,000, and he just happened to have the materials with him.  I was so shocked and realized I was suckered into a scam by Baird by not being upfront and honest to make an informed decision.  Sometimes it does pay to go with lower bid if you get more (in this case, piers) for the money.  Baird Foundation was not the lowest but the highest bid.   Now we are not confident in selling our home in the future, due to Baird?s misrepresentations

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."
