"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."
"He suggested other a couple ideas to prevent the water to flow to my house and made some corrections, laying the exhaust for my burners stove, he also laid out the entire flooring which included my house porch, and also did a few other things to finished up my project. I'm totally happy and I'm impressed. Mr. Rigney did an outstanding job to solve the problems that the first contractor created, very down to earth person, courteous, extremely high quality work, and I would recommend him highly. If I ever had any problems again on my house I would definitely him call him again."
"When I bought this house, it was was filthy, smelled horrible from outside even, was rodent and roach-infested. Counters, floors were wet and rotting. Everything had to be torn out and rebuilt. Now my home is beautiful. The bathrooms are lovely. There were no short-cuts or rush jobs, or anything left unfinished. I’ve had neighbors and friends who are in building and construction admire and compliment the high quality of the work done on my home. Most people who come in comment on the beautiful flooring, or the cleanliness of the walls and ceilings. I live in a quiet, gated community and there was never a complaint about a mess outside or noise. Very clean."
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."

"The job went very well. They took their time, came in and checked to see if things were indeed level at different times. I was very pleased with their work. The rains this year had done a number under my house. Mr. Wise and his crew added a beam where there had never been one, and it was definitely needed. My house had an obvious dip in it that is now gone. And put another beam where the crew I'd used years ago had used untreated wood as a temporary fix until they could get out of the yard. I'd been given an estimate by another company that was almost three times what Mr. Wise bid for the job. And it did not include the beam under the front of the house. Mr. Wise and his crew have a great reputation and they've earned it. I will definitely use them again. "

It’s best not to perform mudjacking in the winter unless the ground temperature remains above freezing. Freezing temperatures can cause the slurry to harden too quickly, compromising its strength and longevity. Concrete is also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in cold temperatures, so there’s a higher risk of damaging the slab during the drilling and lifting process in winter.
Concrete leveling is not typically covered by insurance. In some cases where the shifting concrete is caused by a natural disaster or storm, you may be able to file an insurance claim if your policy specifically covers those circumstances. In most cases, though, you’ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.
Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, driveways, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it’s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.
