Great experience. Even though we did not have any work done, we would recommend GL Hunt LLC to everyone.
Description of Work: We had called and scheduled an appointment with Daniel Roden at GL Hunt LLC. Our appointment was scheduled for 4pm. Daniel called to say he was ahead of schedule and came by at 1:45pm. We explained that we thought we were having some foundation problems and began to show him various sites that we had concern with. Daniel walked outside, looked around,, came inside and assessed that we were not having any foundation movement or damage. He did some measuring inside and determined the readings were not of any serious nature and he believed the cracks we were seeing were due to the last few years of drought and then the periodic and sometimes excessive rains. He gave us a very extensive and informative brochure on the maintence. Daniel was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and professional young man. If we should ever need foundation work, we would most definietly hire GL Hunt LLC because of his professionalism.

My disappointment was that GL Hunt never made a second attempt to pursue the business from us. Months later we received a mialing from them offering a certain percentage off....but that was it! A phone call to discuss the estimate again or other options would have swayed us to do business with them.
Description of Work: We were given an estimate to do a full foundation repair even though it was acknowledged that only the front & back of the house were the issue. It made sense at the time to do it all at $15k. However, after getting another estimate from another reputable company who only recommended doing the front and back of the house for $8k. we decided not to pursue GL Hunt. ***I don't recall the day the estimate was preformed*** .

Daniel, GL Hunt representative, came to meet with us at our house. He was punctual, professional and very polite and did not try to sell us anything. He had the heart of a teacher! He took his time to take accurate measurements and answered all of our questions. We interviewed another company who rushed, came up with the same number of piers, but not as professional. Daniel answered all of our questions and followed up with us. The foreman for the repair, and his team, arrived on time and provided quality service. They did an excellent job answering all our questions throughout the process and left our yard clean. We would defiitely recommend them to anyone needing foundation repair.

It went fine, except I got the same information and service for free (as an estimate) from another company. I thought the interview and inspection would be more detailed for the price.

I would not recommend them at all, and I am looking for another company
Description of Work: I heard about Angies List on tv, so gave it a try. My husband and I were having foundation problems, and tried GL Hunt, and Alamo. Anyways, GL Hunt was better on price, and seemed pretty decent. Norberto was great. nice, honest, and everything. The guys that came out not so bad. But when the guys actually went under to try and level the house, I was told we needed support beams.. So then that meant another quote and them to come back out. Anyways, everything got done. BUT...now I need a reshim..Cory came out, he was great and honest. It took 4-5 phone calls just to get a hold of them, then the day they are suppose to come, then no show. I call and the lady says, Oh no one called you??? They cant make it today, the guys got behind on another job, so cant make it til Saturday or next Saturday?? WTH... Ok, so this is an update: GL hunt came out today10/02/12, and did what they could, still need some work, but complete different attitude! Thomas and the crew were friendly, nice, and as king as the keep it up, I will recommend them!

Daniel arrived promptly and performed the inspection, providing a verbal report. There was no pressure, only a frank discussion of the superficial cracks we see. Thankfully, there is no need for repair and we feel very confident with his assessment. We would definitely use GL Hunt if we have such a need in the future.
Description of Work: I requested an inspection of our foundation because we see minor cracks on the externior. GL Hunt had an excellent rating on Angie's List and a plus was a half-price coupon.

They were able to assess the foundation repair and provide good feedback. They provided their expertise advice and shared what options we had for making the repair. They were honest and open with their feedback. I regret we did not use them for our home during our purchase. Both our neighbors have used them and have high qualifications of their work. Thank you GL Hunt for your help today!

Daniel had me show him the cracks that had caused me concern and took measurements at all levels of my home. He concluded that at this time, there was no significant foundation problem. It's just basic settling, and I can repair the cracks without worrying that they are signs of problems to come. I really appreciate his professionalism and honesty.

The initial consultation was handled very professionally. We were provided with a clear understanding of the job to be completed, projected time frame to start the work, and costs. The company was actually able to start the job earlier then projected. The work crew arrived on time, with the foreman introducing himself and explaining what would be done and when he expected the job to be completed. The crew worked very hard and finished the job within the estimated timeframe. Upon completion the work crew cleaned up the yard very well and for the most part returned everything, including plants to their original location. We have engaged the company to repair the foundation on another home we own.

I felt the estimate was extreme. It cost $10,000 to do foundation repair on my parents house which is much larger and they had to dig under the house. The house we got an estimate on was on piers, would require no digging, and is tiny. We finally got the work done by a company not listed on Angie's list for $1,500. So far the work done at a lower price has turned out well.
Description of Work: Wife got an estimate for foundation repair on an investment property she just purchased. The house is a two bedroom one bath on piers. Representative said they could do it for 14,000 but were running a "special" and if she agreed quickly they could do it for 10,000.

Arrived on time, did a complete foundation inspection, gave us an oral report, as well as a book on foundation care, and we got a follow-up letter with a summary.
Description of Work: We have a 40 year-old home in the Windcrest area of San Antonio. There are a few very minor cracks in the brick veneer that we were not sure how much trouble they might or might not represent. We called two companies to inspect our foundation. G.L. Hunt sent out their engineer named Daniel Roden. He did a profession inspection as we had watched another company do the same inspection. They both found the same degree of slant, very minimal. Daniel Roden told us it did not need any repair or support, and left a foundation care book with us, all free. The other company told us we should put his recommended supports costing $12,000. This same company inspected another house we are now buying telling us the foundation was fine, but still recommended $6000 worth of supports. We really appreciate the find professional work and honesty of Daniel Roden of G.L. Hunt.

They were pretty good, and I thought their price was pretty reasonable. They worked with me. They were pretty good about being responsive in the beginning, but I have had a little trouble with getting a hold of them in the past couple of weeks. I have been trying to get a final leveling estimate of the house from them because I have to go to another engineer for it.
Description of Work: GL Hunt LLC did leveling for my house. They brought in bricks and wood, and they put a beam in. They brought in like eight guys to go underneath the house.

Mr. Roden was punctual, articulate, thorough, and very service-oriented. After the visit, he called to ask if we had any any additional questions. Given the proposed cost of the remediation, we are considering all of our alternatives
Description of Work: Given some settling and stormwater undermining that I observed around the foundation of our house, I responded to an ad in Angie's List by GL Hunt that offered a residential foundation and drainage inspection for $49. Mr. Roden, GL Hunt's representative, arrived at precisely the appointed time; surveyed the undermined area; surveyed the exterior masonry; and took level readings of the slab throughout the house. He then reported his findings and presented recommendations for remediation for our consideration.

Daniel was able to come earlier than the scheduled appointment and that worked very well with my schedule. He checked the foundation levels in and outside the house. He sat down and explained his findings. There was some settling, but nothing needed to done at this time. He did a great job explaining foundation care and answering my questions. I am glad I had the assessment and I would happily recommend GL Hunt to friends that have foundation concerns.

The experience over all was really good and if we ever had a need we would use this company.
Description of Work: Daniel came out to our house and sat down with my husband and I and explained everything we wanted to know about foundations, repairing them and the company itself. He took measurements and imagine our pleasure and surprise when he said we didn't need his services! He explained why and then gave us a copy of his report and plus good information on how to keep our foundation maintained. Overall we were thrilled to know that we didn't have a problem and expense!

We just moved to Texas from Iowa several months ago and had heard about foundation issues here. We noticed some cracks in our sheetrock, and some doors were sticking during the summer also. I bought the Big Deal for the foundation inspection and was able to set an appointment very soon after my call. Daniel Roden came out and was very punctual and professional. He took his measurements inside and out, and I showed him areas that I was concerned about. Daniel then sat down and drew up a floorplan of my house and the readings that were taken within the house. He then explained to me what all the readings meant, and reassured me that I did not have any serious foundation issues at this time. He recommended proper soil moisture to maintain the foundation. He said our drip hoses were positioned correctly and recommended the correct duration of watering. He also left me some pointers and tips in a brochure. Daniel also said he would like to re-evaluate the readings in June to compare the readings and get a more indepth picture of how the foundation is reacting to soil conditions and drought. He said there would be no charge for that re-evaluation. Daniel was very professional and I felt he was very knowledgeable. He explained everything very well and was attentive to the concerns I had. I appreciated his honesty and politeness. I would certainly recommend Daniel and his company for foundation evaluation.

My overall rating of the services provided is A+. Mr. Roden was thorough and comprehensive in his evaluation and provided a copy of the readings report and a written report of his visit which I requested. In addition, he gave me a detailed booklet that explained foundation maintenance and repair. His professional manner and his thoroughness greatly relieved my concern about two areas of my foundation and drainage. I would highly recommend G.L. Hunt to anyone and everyone!
Description of Work: Mr. Daniel Roden performed a very comprehensive evaluation of the foundation of the slab upon which my house was built in 1978. He explained the use of the Zip level and the readings that he took throughout the ground floor of the house and the garage. He then performed an examination of the exterior of the house, walls and foundation, paying particular attention to two areas of concern that I pointed out. His evaluation of my two areas of concern was thorough and completely understandable. The entire visit lasted approximately 45 minutes and was as thorough as I could have wanted. Great job!

The technician who came to my home, Daniel Roden, was very professional, arrived on time and even called just a few minutes prior to his arrival to let me know he was on the way. Mr. Roden walk with me through the home and around the exterior while i showed him the areas of my concern. He said he would take some readings using the equipment he brought in the with him and would be back with me to discuss the findings. I braced myself for the worst, ye he presented me a drawing of my home, with readings throughout and assured me my foundation was sound and I needed no repairs. I'm sorry, can you repeat that please? No work is needed or recommended. Sigh of relief. :) He said what I was seeing was common due to the soil expansion and contraction due to a high clay content and the uneven soil moisture level which is common in the area. He left me a booklet detailing the actions I should take to help alleviate it of soaker hoses around the perimeter of the home. Additionally he left me a copy of his drawing and suggested, I suspect just to make me feel better, I call them back in a year or so and they would take additional readings and compare if there were any changes. He expected none and assured me, I shouldn't be worried. I was shocked, that after spending so much time with me, looking at everything and leaving a very professional booklet, he would charge me nothing. I was very impressed and will call them again, if I ever have a concern. Many years ago, in another home I owned, I had a foundation concern and the other company was not nearly as professional and based on this experience, likely charged me for work, which was uneeded. I highly recommend GL Hunt.
Description of Work: After seeing several cracks in my sheetrock and some separation in the mortar of some bricks, I wanted a professional to look at the situation. I called GL Hunt based on the comments I read here on Angie's list of their professionalism.
