Q: How long do foundation repairs last? A: Our repairs are permanent when properly executed. We use engineered solutions designed to last the life of your home, backed by lifetime warranties.

Q: Do you work with insurance? A: Yes, we document all damage, provide detailed reports, and can bill insurance directly for covered repairs. We help maximize your claim.

Q: Can you repair foundations in winter? A: Yes, we work year-round using heated enclosures and winter-grade materials. Some exterior work may be weather-dependent.
