When they did show up the place was SWARMED by an army of dimunitive"illegals".
I was not pre-warned that the process would involve vigorous lifting and dropping of my foundation, causing pictures to fall of the walls. I had to frantically run around the house pulling down pictures and securing other breakable items.
The soil used to refill the holes was not compacted correctly and collapsed leaving 12 inch deep holes. They admitted they didn't do that right and had to come back to re do it.
They broke about 4 mature bushes around the foundation during their work. They would not admit fault and I had to spend about $200.00 out of pocket to replace them.
They did not repair the cracks in my brick facade per the contract. It took nearly 3 more months and multiple calls for their "brick specialist" to show up and do a third rate job.
Where they jack-hammered through my concrete patio to sink piers they did not make clean cuts and had to come back to saw-cut and patch them correctly. These patches still did not match the one year old patio, so I had to replace the entire patio at another out of pocket cost of $2,500.00.
Seven years later my house foundation still shifts (the soil in this area of Fort Worth REALLY expands/contracts under moisture variations). A G. L. Hunt rep has told me I need to run a soaker hose around my foundation ALL YEAR to maintain soil moisture at constant level. I had been doing that for 30+ years - the "foundation repair" was supposed eliminate that, why else pay $10K.
I DO NOT recommend G. L. HUNT.
Mr Hunt himself came to my house and showed me where my foundation problems were. He explained what had caused the problem and step by step what his company would do to fix my foundation.
His crew arrived at exactly the time and day they were suppose to. The foreman over the crew came to me throughout the process to tell me what they were doing next and how they would be doing it. I had never had anyone come to my home and explain the procedures as they did the work. It made me feel like they really knew what they were doing. They took their time while they were lifting my foundation so they would not do further damage to my home. The cracks in my home all went back into place perfectly and no others appeared. They dug down far enough so that each pier was sat on rock so the house will not shift again. I would use this company for any foundation work I might need and have recommended them to my friends.
A week later when I was watering the foundation, the patio caved in under the area they had dug up. I called the company to have them come and fix it (thinking, reasonably, that it was their responsibility to fix it since the soil was not compacted well enough when they put it into the hole.) So we went ahead and fixed the patio ourselves.
Post-script:
After seeing the review, Mr. Hunt came over to our house to meet with me and apologize for the quality of service they had rendered.
He insisted on doing another job to make up for the last one and to fix their reputation. Since the previous fix had started to sag and move away from the rest of the house again, they went ahead and fixed that and installed brackets this time to keep the extension (that was moving away) more rigidly fixed to the rest of the house. They fixed up the patio MUCH better this time and fixed another part of the house as well. Overall, they did a great job.
The gentleman in charge fo this job (Mr. Ole Suarez) did a fantastic job of making sure the we were satisfied. If I used G L Hunt again, I would insist on him coming back to do the job.
