Hired them to stabilize and seal my drive way. They did a great job. It looks better than I expected. I think Angie's list underestimates costs, since the price was quite a bit higher than Angie's list estimates. But, by searching the price of materials used in poly injection, I felt like I got a reasonable price.

If youâ re looking for an honest company that will do the job right and be there for you when things go wrong this is not it. I hired this company to install 14 piers to stop my house from sinking. This involved digging 11 holes in my unfinished basement and was done in December 2021. A few months later, all of the newly poured concrete was cracking severely. I called the company and they sent a technician to look. We found that the concrete was not poured correctly. They scheduled the repair date. This was canceled the first time, no-call no-show the second time, then finally they showed up for the third date. I asked the tech that day if we should check the piers in case the crew didn't install those correctly and he said no because an inspection was done after the install, and wasn't needed. Two months later, the doors in my house started having trouble closing and interior cracks started to spread. I called the company and they sent a tech named John Haake out to mark where the house was sitting at that moment. One month later, the doors in my house were much worse and some were not shutting. John came back out and measured again, my house sank 3/8 inches in one month. He told me that he would get me a repair date that will be a couple weeks later, then stopped answering my texts and calls, without the repair date actually being scheduled. I called the office and scheduled the appointment myself but the best date they could provide was 2 months later. I called the company and John multiple times and texted them pictures of the spreading damage and they refused to move the date up. I finally got through to Ryan, Johnâ s boss, and urgently requested that he send someone to come see the damage, send me the warranty paperwork, and move up my date. He said he would send someone, send the paperwork, and check on the date. He only did the first. The tech who came out was John again. No courtesy call, he just showed up to my house after ignoring my calls and texts for 2 months and starts taking measurements. He found that the house had sank further but the company still refused to move the date up. 107 days after I reported there was an issue and 71 days after the company confirmed there was an issue, the repair crew finally showed up and told me that the previous crew was fired for messing up multiple jobs. The company has no process in place to prevent this from happening. They found that 13 of the piers were not installed correctly and the 14th was never installed at all. Because the piers were installed inside the house, they could not lift the house back to where it was 3 months prior so the damage caused by the companyâ s negligence and slow response is irreversible. It took 4 days to complete the repairs and in their rush to leave they did not pour the concrete correctly again. An inspector wasn't sent to make sure the work was done correctly so the company cannot guarantee the work was completed correctly. Not that it mattered since an inspector came the first time. John and Ryan are now ignoring all my calls and texts again and the company is refusing to pay for the damages caused to my home due to their negligence that is totaling thousands of dollars. Please don't make the same mistake. Read the other one star reviews. Find a better company.
