It's probably rare to need a foundation company on a brand new house. My builder left me with major structural problems that cannot be repaired. I had four foundation companies look at it. It isn't settling. The framing was just installed wrong. All four companies said in various ways that they could do their best to improve it, but it couldn't be fixed. Mario was the one who was the most forward with explaining this to us. In fact, he turned the job down at first. My builder left me high and dry, and the house did not have enough support. We had an engineer who agreed that it couldn't be fixed, and we asked Mario to support the house and told him we realized we would have to settle for the best he can do. His price was in line with one other company, half the price of another, and 1/5 the price of the 4th company. Mario was the only foundation company out of the four who spent time drawing plans and studying the load paths and determining exactly where to put each pier. The other guys suggested a one size fits all approach. Mario drew a blueprint of his proposed work which was very impressive. It had every single detail that he promised to include, and it also served as a guide for his workers to follow. We hired M&R a second time to add additional support to the roof because it was bowing in. He met with the engineer who proposed a plan. Again, he provided a detailed blueprint of his proposed work. He built two support walls with thousands of nails. Both jobs took two days. The floors are not level, but they are better. The important thing in this case is that now the floors are strong and sturdy. They added 24 piers. Actually, after the engineer's evaluation, I think Mario did a better job than we expected. They were not able to straighten out the roof either, but we can finally sleep comfortably in our new house knowing that the roof is stable and secure in a storm. The engineer recommended demolishing the house completely. We are suing the builder. We couldn't just abandon the house, so we needed to make it safe to live in. Mario did that. Mario was on the job himself both jobs he did for me. Not the whole time, but he only left the workers alone when he was sure they had it under control, and he inspected both jobs before he considered them complete. They cleaned up every trace of their messes on both jobs. They were very careful while lifting the house to make sure sheetrock didn't crack and he wanted to make sure the doors work. This is not something you can do by yourself. You need experience to know what happens when you use jacks. What really impressed me about Mario was when he first met with us, he gave us a package that has a copy of his license and his insurance. That is important to us, because our builder lied about being licensed. Included in his package was also a list of referrals and pictures of examples of his work. This way the customer knows exactly what they are getting and what it will look like, and they understand completely what the problems and solutions are prior to hiring him. Both of my jobs ended up being more work than he expected, but he did not ask for another dime. These guys are fully legal, completely honest, fair on prices, and they have their act together. I doubt I'll ever ask him for any warranty given our unique circumstances, but I'm sure he would make good on warranties too, if I had issues. These are good guys.
