I remember my uncle had a difficult time with the foundation repair contractor he hired. It was a nightmare. The contractor wouldn’t even show up on time. The work was also shoddy and it had no warranty at all with it. My uncle had to search, then hire a totally new company. Luckily, the second one was much better. He asked for referrals that second time around. He was able to talk with a neighbor actually who showed him the work they did on their property.
Here are a questions you can ask before you hire anyone to do your foundation repair:
1. How long has the company you are considering to hire been in business?
2. Are they a Better Business Bureau Member?, If they are a BBB Member — what type of rating do they have with them? Is it A, A+, B, B+, C, C+, etc?
3. Do they have insurance which is extremely important?
4. Do they have any certifications?
5. Do they have Insurance?
6. Are they a member of the National Association of Waterproofing and Structural Repair Contractors?
7. Are they a member of the Indoor Air Quality Association?
8. Are they a member of the American Indoor Air Quality Council?
High standards are mandatory to be a member of the above organizations. If they are a member of the above, that is definitely a good sign you are making the right decision to hire.
9. Always check the company’s references. Ask them about previous jobs they have done. Research to see what those customers had to say.
10. Do they offer a warranty?
