You can definitely put your complete trust in this company!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
