The pool structure is nice, but if anyone is going to spend this amount of money, they should get FAR better customer service and support during the process. We were basically in the dark throughout construction. I had some cracks in the pool deck and when the foreman finally showed up, he said they were \"self-sealing\"...seriously?! I would not buy a pool from this company again. It is a stressful process and a lot of money. The sales guys are clearly on commission and as soon as they close the deal...they are gone.

They are not the cheapest in town, but I trust that these guys will put the correct fluid in my truck, the correct filter and ensure all my other fluids are topped off as needed. They did all that in a very timely manner. They also know what the correct tire pressure should be in my aftermarket tires (22and quot;) and they ensure those are filled to the correct pressure. This visit they informed me that my wiper fluid was low, but they topped it off. While you are there, they have a very nice and clean waiting area with free cold drinks, magazines, and a basket of candy. Their prices are clearly displayed on the wall. Before your service is complete, one of the technicians will come in and show you your air filter and tell you either it's good and no need to replace, or it's getting close to needing replaced but not at this particular visit, or that it's dirty and needs to be replaced now. They offer to change that for you (for an additional fee of course) The air filter will definitely cost you more than at Walmart, but I usually pay them because of the convenience and I can get it out of the way. They will also come in and show you the engine oil dipstick so you can see that the engine oil is to the correct mark on the dipstick. They keep your information on file so they can tell you when you are due for a transmission service or radiator service. They do this, but they are not pushy about it. In addition to the oil change service, they also performed a state safety inspection on my truck. This is a not-for-profit- exercise for them. This VIOC is friendly, professional and they use the oil I like to run in my truck (Valvoline Duramax semi-synthetic) I get a $2.00 discount, but even aside from that I would go here for my oil changes. There have been times when they've been closed and I'm heading out of town on a long trip and want my oil changed so I've had to go to another oil change place, but I always come back.

"It's funny... we've been considering a foundation repair company for our current house, and my wife mentioned Integrated Foundation Solutions, which then rang a bell. The experience to follow happened years ago, and we never posted a review to reflect the lousy service from IFS. Truthfully, I think we were too hacked off by the whole experience to focus, at the time. But, after finding all the old emails today, with all the salient details intact, I thought I'd rectify that mistake. (Quoted verbiage to follow is verbatim from emails.) Short version: Before the sale of our previous house, we brought out IFS to level our foundation. Schaun (owner) and Diane (coordinator) sent out a crew headed up by Arlen... during the foundation leveling, one of Arlen's crew kicked loose a plumbing pipe, which then proceeded to soak a portion of the carpet and baseboard in the nearest room. No one on the crew told us, perhaps no one noticed. (Arlen even went so far as to say that there was "not a doubt in his mind" that one of his guys had kicked the pipe connection loose. Further, Arlen mentioned that it was the third occasion one of his team members had caused damage on the job, in the few weeks previous.) After we brought out a plumber for repairs, IFS said that "flooring folks" had been contacted re: examining and repairing the damage caused during the foundation work done by IFS. Later, "flooring folks" became Chris, the boyfriend of Diane, the job coordinator. Chris then proceeded to do a sketchy job repairing the baseboard -- painting it while it was still swollen from the leak, thus causing the color to not match at all, despite him being "in the flooring business for many years" -- so then he had to come out again, and was clearly not thrilled to do so. Schaun would also "not authorize using a carpet cleaning company" to clean the carpet, as a result of his team's screw-up, but they had "already rented a Rug Doctor type machine". Aside from costing us time, this was incredibly frustrating, though I remained pleasant and genial over all email exchanges. We only wanted our house back like it was, before IFS caused some damage. Remember, we were in the process of selling the house and there was a contract pending. Clearly, IFS was attempting to be as cost-efficient as possible, for their own bottom line, though when I recapped the situation, the response I received from Schaun was very defensive. His explanation of "I guess if I had charged as much as the other company wanted, this would be a no-brainer and I'd have everything fixed perfectly" really sums up the entire experience, in that he not only reacted defensively to repeated mistakes MADE BY HIS COMPANY, but admitted that they had not fixed everything perfectly. He also said that in regards to repairing the damage caused by his people, "since this was not a regular profit situation, it is only fair that I utilize people that will save me money to make repairs". Which is sort of funny, in that he is again framing the mistakes & damages made by his company as a "situation" by which HE should be treated fairly, rather than the homeowners on the receiving end. Finally, Schaun ended with a suggestion that we be "realistic" in our expectations... "Remember, we've been on top of this from beginning to end so far... you've had everything done immediately and without a word from us". Well, bully for you, Schaun... your people caused damaged that required multiple repairs, and you didn't even complain about our more than reasonable request for that damage to be repaired. Well done! There's every possibility that IFS has matured and is now a dandy company. Perhaps all these secondary and tertiary employees have moved on. But as we bring out foundation companies to look at our current house, we will absolutely not consider IFS. Never again. Because the owner then is apparently still the owner, today. YMMV."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.
Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation.
The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
Structural engineers specialize in all aspects of a building’s structural integrity, including the foundation. Foundation engineering is a critical part of structural engineering, so structural engineers are experts in foundation design. Many foundation repair companies either have a structural engineer on staff or one they work closely with, so be sure you look for that when deciding who to hire for foundation repair.
