"We hired LUX to repair the foundation on our detached garage. Adam's crew arrived early Monday morning. They were pleasant and professional - really nice people. They worked steadily all day. They arrived early Tuesday morning, and waited for the county inspector to arrive. Once the inspection was complete, they promptly completed the work. We would definitely recommend LUX."
"Very professional! The two people that did the concrete raising were very helpful. Big shout out to Brian and Austin out of the Bristow location. Pricy, but foundation work is sometimes unavoidable."
"Good people to work with, professional in every way. Normally when we received 2" of rain water would start entering the basement. When we receive 3" the basement floor would be covered. Two days after installing their system our area received 8.5" of rain and our basement remained dry, not a drop got in the house. These guys know what they are doing."
"Absolutly stellar performance by Capital Paving and Construction. They are incredibly responsive, professional, and committed to delivering a quality product for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend their services - they will be the go to paving contractor for me in the future."
"When we were looking at contractors for our project, we met five contractors and received five estimates. There were a couple places where Suncrest really stood out. First, they were the only contractor to provide a detailed estimate that allowed us to see how much each item would cost. This made it easy for us to determine what things we could do ourselves and what was worth getting their help with. Second, they were the only contractor to get ALL details of the project right in the estimate. A lot of other contractors gave us estimates for items never discussed and failed to provide estimates for crucial items. Third, when we did a walk through with John (Suncrest Builders President), we mentioned we wanted the renovated space to have hardwood floors. Every other contractor said, "Yes, we can give you hardwood floors". John was the only one to say, "Why do you want hardwood floors? You have a concrete slab and hardwood floors wouldn't be the best choice." We appreciated that he didn't just tell us what we wanted to hear, but instead provided solid advice.
Through out the project, Suncrest hired three separate sub-contractors: demolition, concrete, and flooring. All the subcontractors they used were very clean, efficient, hardworking and professional. For the demo and concrete, there seemed to be a significant delay in getting the subcontractors to our house. The demo crew showed up 4 days later than planned. The concrete crew showed up 3-4 weeks after planned. The first two tasks of our project were demo and concrete, so at the beginning there were a few weeks where our house was sitting with no work being done.
Suncrest performed the framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, and trim installation with their own staff. Everyone was extremely skilled, detailed orientated, and respectful. There weren't as many delays to the project when Suncrest's employees were scheduled to work on our house. Any delays were due to the nature of the project and not because they didn't show up.
Through out the project, we had very little difficulty getting ahold of John or Bryan (our Project Manager). If we didn't get ahold of them the first time, 95% of the time they returned our calls/emails within 24 hours. This was more than enough communication to make sure we could have our questions answered and feel comfortable with how the project was progressing.
During our project, there were a couple areas where Suncrest really shined. First, we redid the floors in our kitchen. The original floors were tile. The tile needed to be removed and all the grout and tile adhesive had to be removed. Due to the unexpected difficulty of removing larger pieces of grout, the tile removal took longer than expected, which meant the new floor installation was also delayed. After Suncrest realized how difficult the tile was to remove, they had everyone at our house making sure EVERYTHING was ready so the flooring installation wasn't delayed any further. Bryan (Project Manager) was on his hands and knees scraping off the grout vigorously. Second, we had Suncrest install a light fixture on our home's exterior. After the first attempt, we were not satisfied with the way the light was installed. We called Bryan to have him take a look. He also agreed that it was not acceptable. The same day, he was out there fixing the light himself until we were satisfied. By the time he was done, it couldn't have looked more perfect. In both of these situations, Suncrest showed they will do what it takes to get the job done and will listen to feedback to make sure the end result is perfect for their client.
Overall, our experience with Suncrest was excellent. We had little difficulty in getting ahold of them when we had questions. They addressed any concerns we had. The end product was exactly what we asked for and looks amazing. There were some delays, but if you look at reviews for other contractors on Angie's List, you'll see that it's incredibly common. After this experience, I look forward to working with Suncrest again on our future home renovations.

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.
Most states and municipalities don’t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor’s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor’s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi’s license lookup tool to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.
Common issues with concrete that may require professional repair or resurfacing include cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.
Generally speaking, push piers—or steel piers—are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers.
