There were here when they said.  They were reliable, and the work was done well.  They finished it on time.  They cleaned up after themselves and did quality work.  They made sure we were happy with the work and answered all of our questions.  They also came back to re-fill holes with dirt after they settled.

I was disappointed because they were inconsistent with the quotes and the price was excessive. However, they were professional in how they handled things.

Daniel came by and gave a very honest assessment of what needed to be done which was very reasonable; signed off on contract at that time. Office called to confirm date and work started approx 2 weeks later. David the foreman contacted me and gave me a detail of the work to be done. They were very professional and I was impressed with the whole operation. After work was completed, the areas they worked on, outside, even looked better than before work was done! I highly recommend them for your foundation needs.
You can definitely put your complete trust in this company!

They completed the job in a very timely manner and they did a great job. They placed 16 piers under my foundation and got my house leveled. I am very happy with the job they did, it was great. The only problem was some bent fence parts.

Coy S. was punctual and a real pleasure to deal with.  Took measurements of foundation and calmed our fears of a possible foundation problem.  Educated us on current foundation conditions and what to look for as time goes. Highly recommend Coy and G.L. Hunt foundation repair.

Daniel came out & did an interior/exterior inspection of my older home built in 1950. We just purchased it last month & the inspection report mentioned the foundation was holding but it should be monitored for any movement. We have several small cracks in the house and I wanted to see if these were structural or cosmetic only. The previous owners had installed soaker hoses along the perimeter of the house and I was curious if this was a good idea or not. He came by and measured from one end of the house to the other, using a tool he pushed along the floor. 
I was pleasantly surprised when he said the floors were fairly level throughout except the kitchen corner which I figured anyway. He said he found no evidence of doors sticking or other common symptoms of foundation issues. He also mentioned not to water the foundation in the back, since the only place the hose can go is right up against the foundation due to the sidewalk along that side of the house. You want the hose around 12-18 inches away from the foundation if you soak it; if it's too close it will do more harm than good. 
He left me his card and said to call him if I notice any noticeable shifting or other issues. Didn't charge me a cent..This is a very trustworthy company and I would not hesitate to call them again if we experience any foundation problems in the future.

Daniel arrived in very punctual fashion and after inspecting what looked scary to me, pronounced it to be of purely cosmetic concern and not requiring action.  This was good news for me and for anyone else who might be seeking an honest foundation repair company on this list.  Thanks Daniel and G. L. Hunt Foundation Repair!

We had a large corner crack that turned into a chunk of our foundation coming off. They came out to check it out. He assured me it was just cosmetic and gave me some solutions from it happening again. Nice, honest guy who showed up when he said he would.

I called 7/15/2014 and was able to get a next day appointment.  Mr. Daniel Roden called prior to the appointment to confirm the time, and arrived a few minutes early which was not at all a problem.  Mr. Roden was courteous and willing to answer all my questions.  He seemed very knowledgeable and honest.  I received a copy of the measurements for future comparison and no attempt was made to sell me services I did not need.  Very pleased with the experience.

I had a small broken area of concrete along the side of my house and was concerned that it might be a structural issue.  There was rotten wood showing in the small hole.  I called GL Hunt because they are listed in Angies List and rated highly.  They immediately set up an appointment for a week later.
On the day of the appointment, Coy the field technician called a half hour before he arrived to let me know he was headed toward my home.  He arrived just before the scheduled appointment time and reviewed the broken area with me.  He examined the wall and knocked along the side of the house then explained that the issue was not structural and that it was just cosmetic.  He explained that during the construction of the home that the builder must have left the wooden frame in place over the actual foundation and that the cracked area was just mortar that was applied over the frame to finish the look of the house.  He suggested that a mason might be able to repair it quickly and explained to me that the mason would likely knock out a foot square area around the broken area and patch that. 
He made my day by telling me it was cosmetic, then he REALLY made my day.  When I asked him how much the service call was, he told me that it was no charge.  He spent about 10 minutes with me and I am so grateful for his help.  He gave me his business card should I ever need it and also provided a reference for a mason.
It's nice to see a company that tries to help its customers, even if I didn't engage them for further service.  Thanks to you Coy!  I'll definitely remember this and will sure to recommend GL Hunt.

It took them two days to complete the job.  Everything seems to be well.  About six to eight men to came out to do the job.  They were fast and careful on what they were doing.  They were very pleasant and they worked well with each other.  They communicated very well.  They measured the from the inside and they jack the house from underneath.  The sale rep that came out answered all our questions, he also gave us options which no one had done.  He took pictures & showed us everything that needed to be done.  He gave us a choice for our budget.  everything was great when they were done.  They cleaned very well.  I would tell members to except great service and they are very professional.  They only do this so they have a lot of experience. I would use them again. They told us that if we would like they would come out once a year for the next five years to check under the house to make sure everything was were it needs to be at no charge.  After five years if they need to come out it would only cost us $500.00

Everything went well. They were on time and finished within a week. They did an excellent cleanup. They were nice people and I didn't have any problems with any of them. When I asked questions, they gave me answers. I believe their price was high. I wouldn't have any trouble recommending them.

Daniel arrived on time and was very professional during his visit.  We had already had one company come out so G.L. Hunt was a second opinion.  Daniel did a more complete job of measuring our foundation inside our home and even went outside to look at the exterior of our home (which the other company did not!).  We were lucky that both companies said our foundation was solid and we were not charged a cent for the visit.  When I asked Daniel about fixing the crack on my wall and ceiling, he suggested I wait 6 months to see if the crack grew and give him a call at that time and he'd be happy to come back out to re-measure my foundation, again at no charge.  He also gave me suggestions about my flower bed guards keeping water too close to our foundation and suggested gutter extensions.  What a great employee!  We will use this company again in the future and recommend them to all our friends.

I was unsatisfied with their work and I was not happy with it.  They did not do a good job and it makes me angry to even talk about it.  The whole thing is just awful.  The exact done itself to address the problem was not done properly.  It made me very upset.

  The initial consultation they came out and viewed what needed to be done and gave me a price. The team that came out was very hard working. They were here almost all day. I saw a lot of laughter and joy, which lets me know they were well taken care of and their work ethics were very good!  When they were finished they picked up the debris very well I didn’t have to go behind them, I was very impressed and that said a lot to me. i have already reccomemnded them to my mneighnor anfd they hae already used them , and i will continure to reccomend them. I have already recommended them to my neighbor and they have already used them , and I will continue to recommend them.

I was concerned about my foundation shifting.  we had a few cracks here and there.  Coy came out and gave a very good inspection.  Bottom line we have a little bit of shifting but not to the degree I thought.  He did not think doing foundation repair was necessary at this time.  I am sure some foundation companies would have sold me expensive unnecessary repairs. Thank you Hunt.

I started noticing some cracks in my upstairs bathroom, so got concerned.  I called these guys and got an appointment setup with no issue.  They were more punctual than I was, but didn't seem bothered that I was a few minutes late.  He spent about 30 minutes inspecting my foundation, taking a look at some work done on some concrete slabs in the back yard, and then measuring my home's level.  Everything came back perfect and with  no issue.  
Since there wasn't any work, he charged me nothing for the visit.  
I was nervous about this because foundation folks could tell me anything and I would have no idea if they were lying or not.  I didn't have to worry about that here.

We had a feeling that we were going to need foundation repair based off of what little we knew about the area (NE San Antonio) and the symptoms to look for inside your house. We had several companies come out and give us estimates and decided to go with GL Hunt.  Koy came out to give us an estimate.  He was very professional, answered all of our questions, and was very good at explaining exactly what we were going to be having done.  We were told that the next appointment wasn't for 2+ months.  It wasn't ideal, but it wasn't something that was their fault or a deal breaker.  However, when the lady called to schedule my appointment they had an appointment open up later in the week and I was able to book that!  
The crew came out on the day they were supposed to and took how long we were expecting.  They were very courteous and professional the entire time they were here.  The foreman was in constant communication with me and kept me apprised of everything they were doing.  
They finished up in just under 2 days.  I don't recall the exact number, but they used 22 or 24 of their concrete piers, put their soil stabilizer in the ground, and scheduled a static line test for me with a plumber (something required and included in their price). The team doing the soil stabilization noticed that we had dirt settling in the holes they dug and scheduled another team to come out and fill the holes in more with top soil.  It was great!
Overall, I'm incredibly happy with what GL Hunt did and have piece of mind knowing that they not only offer a lifetime warranty, but will be around for a long time.  Some of the other foundation repair companies offer a lifetime warranty, don't do a very good job, and change their business name.  They continue repairing foundations but, because they're a "different business", they don't honor their warranty.  GL Hunt has been in business since the late 80's, as the same company, honoring their word and their work.  Ultimately, that was one of the biggest reasons we went with them.

Mr. Coy Smithhart (very professional), called to confirm our meeting time and was able to come by our home before our appointment  time (flexible), which was great for us. Once Mr. Smithhart arrived he immediately identified an area outside of the foundation issue that we could improve upon to protect our home. He assessed the cracks in our walls and stated that he didn't believe that we had a foundation problem (he could have tried to sell us on repairing something that's not broke, but he didn't), but a cosmetic issue that a different company should be able to fix at a cost that would be very reasonable. Additionally, he made several suggestions to prevent foundation problems in the future. We were impressed!
