My review for Pinnacle is not short, it may be a little long, but it is well deserved. First, a brief history. Back in 2019 my wife and I noticed new sheetrock cracks and more foundation movement in and around our house. We have had our fair share of foundation repairs over the 25 years we’ve lived in Carrollton. We have had our foundation repaired three different times by two different companies. We had piers installed outside as well as inside. We now know our area is known for its expansive soils; Carrollton is in what is called the “Blackland Prairie” region having the so called “Black Gumbo” soils. No matter how we repaired the foundation, or how many piers were installed or adjusted, the cracks just kept coming back. This gave us doubts about the foundation repair business in general. We also discovered our “Lifetime Warranty” for our previous foundation work was no longer covered because the company went out of business. Not sure what to do next, we hired an Engineer for a professional opinion. His conclusion was not so good news. He recommended a full underpinning of the entire house, this meant new piers outside around the house as well as inside. He also said the previous piers were not deep enough and the concrete cylinder piers used before are unstable and were probably failing. He said this total “underpinning” repair could be cost prohibitive. My wife and I struggled with this news, trying to figure out how we could afford such a repair. We quietly delayed getting something done, hoping somehow it would just go away. Meanwhile, we could see cracks in the bricks and most of the doors inside wouldn’t close all the way. We even thought maybe if we move, we will just take the highest cash offer to sell our house and we could go somewhere else. About that time COVID hit and the housing market went crazy, we decided we would stay put. Now we thought it’s time to do something. Our engineer gave us names of a few foundation repair companies for estimates. Pinnacle was one of the few he recommended. We had estimates from five different companies, all of which was a bit overwhelming. Some suggested we move out of our house for the repair, and some were even a bit pushy trying to get our business. But when we called Pinnacle, we were impressed when we knew we were meeting with the President and CEO of the company, Robby Brown. Our first impressions of Robby were professional, straightforward, genuine and honest. We told him moving out of the house wasn’t an option for us, so he quickly, designed a plan for his crew to install the piers he needed while we could use our Kitchen, Breakfast Room, Master Bedroom/Bath and backroom, that was almost half the house! He needed 18 piers to be installed inside the house, and 31 piers outside around the perimeter of the house, this was a big job! Robby put us to ease when he assured us that all this could be done. Surprisingly, Pinnacle’s cost estimate was very competitive and even lower than some of the other estimates we had. Robby said the repair would take around 8-10 days. My wife and I had to think about how to get this accomplished and still go about our daily lives and work schedule. We knew we had to pack up things like lamps, décor, furnishings etc. but we could put all the boxes in the available backroom and closets. Robby said his crew could help move some of the heavy stuff and furniture out of the way, so they wouldn’t interfere with the repair area. All things considered, and we did consider everything, we thought that Robby and Pinnacle was the best fit and choice for us. So in September (2021) we decided to go ahead with this big project. The first thing that happened before any work started, Robby and Jeff LeGear, the Project Manager for the job, came out to verify the locations of all the slab grade beams under the house. They used a state-of-the-art X-ray digital scanning device or a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) that can locate concrete grade beams, reinforcing steel, cavities and voids under the slab. This allowed them to see what was really going on underneath. Robby made some final adjustments to the pier layout based on the GPR data before work began. The following week, Jeff came out with his crew. Jeff was knowledgeable, experienced and very personable, he took charge of the job and kept everything running smoothly. Preparations were carefully done covering the work area with plastic sheeting, even isolating our living areas with plastic at doors and openings. This was done inside and out, protecting our lawn and plantings outside. Adolpho, the pier installation foreman, had his team working efficiently and precisely digging and setting piers. Jeff and Adolpho had the job finished in 8 days! After the repair, the Pinnacle crew took great care of the clean up process, carefully removing plastic sheeting, rolling carpet back, making sure things were back to normal. This job was big, it was not easy for my wife and I, but Robby and all of his crew, made us feel at ease, and we knew we were in good hands. The most important thing is trust, meeting Robby the first time, somehow, we knew we could depend on Pinnacle. After the repair, reading the final engineer’s report, the numbers looked amazing, we knew then this would be the end of our foundation worries forever and no more repairs! Pinnacle, by far is your best bet with any kind of foundation repair, big or small, they will take care of you no matter what. Thanks to Robby, Jeff, Adolpho and Miguel, for a job well done! Thanks, for giving us the confidence to make the right decision. I highly recommend them to do a fantastic job, Pinnacle is without a doubt a company you can trust.
