Skillful Construction fixed my foundation yesterday. I was VERY HAPPY with the job they did. First let me say that from my initial call to the company, the quick bid and prompt scheduling of my job, this company did everything right….and they charged me a fair price..! You really can’t ask for more than that. Initially the job did not look that complicated. I had some high piers in the main house and in the Mother-in-law addition the floor felt soft, with a noticeable hump in the middle running the length of the structure. After arriving on site and making quick work of the high piers, the crew turned its attention to the addition. What initially looked like a fairly simple job re-leveling everything turned out to be anything but simple. The entire foundation in my addition was sub-par. The floor joists were undersized and too far apart. There were no posts under the load bearing walls and not enough beams to support the floor system resulting in the perimeter and middle beam staying rather level to each other, but everything in between sagging. Not only that, but the whole floor gave under the weight of an average sized man. Being a fairly slim female, I had not noticed the bouncing, it just felt “soft” to me. The point of telling you how poorly built the floor system was it to point out that the solution required more work than anticipated. Skillful Construction fixed the foundation right. They did not cheap shot my job. They put in two extra beams the entire length of the addition to distribute the weight and support the span of the floor joists. They added piers under the existing interior walls and re-leveled the entire structure adding piers as needed. When they were done, not only did my foundation look impressively built from underneath, but the guys came in and jumped on the floor…and it was solid as a rock. Other than some extra money to pay for the additional supplies, they still got the job done in the time allotted and honored the bid…and they also helped me out with another problem I had. If you want to build something right you first have to have a good foundation. Now that my foundation is solid, I will be able to proceed with the gut remodel I have planned for this property. Should any issues reveal themselves when I start moving walls Skillful Construction will be back to fix them As I said, I am VERY happy with the work they did.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer inspections and in-home estimates. We bring the necessary equipment to analyze the condition of your foundation. Pricing is based on work to be performed. We have had to implement a $100 inspection fee and upon hiring, we return $200 off of your bill.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We schedule an appointment with the home owner to do our inspection. We let the customer know what we have determined. Then we email to the customer our proposal and contract for them to go over and decide if we fill their needs and fit their budget. If approved we schedule a starting date to perform the job.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We have been in the construction business for over 30 years and specializing in foundation repair for the past 15 years.
