Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Astoria, OR

"Purchased a 1906 home in North Portland with an uneven foundation that had been patched for 60 years, but needed serious stabilization work. I contacted multiple foundation contractors in the greater-Portland area and Ram Jack was the only team that provided a full worse-case estimate that included everything that I may need to permanently stabilize the home's foundation. Other contractors' estimates were higher, omitted some of the features of Ram Jack's estimate, and involved greater excavation work around the home. While I was collecting estimates, I had multiple contractors check the levels on the house and could see the home was continuing to sink as much as half and inch in some areas within only a few months, so I knew I had to do something soon as the hotter summers are causing significant erosion to the clay soil in north portland. After paying the 50% down payment, I was quickly in touch with multiple project managers and structural engineers who were able to answer my questions as the work plan developed. I work from home and have two cats, so I was a bit worried about the noise and needing to leave at certain times during the work. Ramjack devised a plan of installing 12 helical piers from the basement and 2 outside for a small crawl space area as well as replacing most of the piers in the basement that had water damage. During the excavation and pier installation, I didn't have to leave my house at all, my cats were fine, none of the utilities ever needed to be turned off and none of the neighbors said they heard more than the hum of the generator outside; insane professionalism. The work team kept me informed at every step of the excavation and pier installation and was able to recover an inch of lift with only a few drywall cracks that I patched in a day. I could have gone further, but wanted to avoid any potential damage to the sewer pipes and stay within my budget. During the lifting, I was standing with the lead construction manager who kept me informed of every risk as we lifted the house bit by bit. During the excavation my basement looked insane with mounds of dirt everywhere, but the construction team cleaned everything flawlessly; all I had to do was a quick mop and the basement was good as new again. Overall had a great experience with RamJack; the 20 years in business shows, most everyone I dealt with had been working with them for years; the construction manager had been doing pier installation for 15 years. The work was expensive, but cheaper than the other local contractors, and certainly way cheaper than replacing the entire basement foundation. Ramjack was even able to take a few grand off the intitial worse-case estimate for solutions not needed. Glad I was able to repair my 120 year old home; here's to another 100 years. Big thanks to Pancho and Stephen, as well as the structural engineers and project managers; I'm very happy with the work."

"Dereck was professional, knowledgeable and really listened to what I wanted. Very kind and really knows what hes doing. He put in a patio, fence, fire pit, shed, lawn, gutters and some indoor projects. I will only hire him for any outdoor or indoor projects in the future! So happy with the work he did!"

"I have had two issues since they installed the new sump pump and irrigation. Issue number one was water still getting passed the new concrete. The other issue is that the new concrete was not level at all which has caused issues with the new flooring I installed. However, their customer service is top notch and will work hard to take care of you."

"I researched 4 companies to fully encapsulate a crawlspace damaged by flooding and rats. I also did a lot of research into possibly doing it myself so i knew what to look for. John's was the most expensive, but they were all in the same general ballpark. I was put off by some of the competitors marking insulation as "extra" and not including in their initial estimate. Insulation is required! John's costs a bit more but you get more too: John's insulated the entire floor with wrapped foam pads, dug a drain trench around the entire perimeter, jacked up every concrete pier to slide vapor barrier underneath the posts, and used proper mechanical fasteners on all of the wall insulation boards. Every nook and cranny was sealed with spray foam. The workers were amazing. They did not cut any corners. They nipped and tucked every tight little spot and never complained or made excuses. They built a plastic clean-tunnel every day and took it down down every afternoon. They did not leave behind trash. My crawlspace is clean enough to literally eat off the floor now. I would recommend John's if you want your job done correctly."

"John's water proofing gave me a reasonable quote. And they did an awesome job. I will recommend them again."

"This company was on top of getting the work done, provided clear estimates, and followed through with the repairs described. It was a multi-layered project that could have been confusing to track, but they made it easy."

"Absolute installed a new foundation for our studio shed project. They were very professional, efficient and explained each step to me in detail as I wished. I highly suggest this vendor."

"Working with Green Rising Construction is fantastic.  Owner, Robin Wengert, is professional, talented, honest, and believes in making his clients happy.  ** First Project - For my experience with my entry way front door - Robin worked with me to come up with a design plan that exceeded my expectations.  His craftsmanship is flawless.  My entry hall originally had glass blocks in the wall about 6" away from the trim on the front door.  They have always bothered me, as the look was incomplete.  Robin designed a surround for the front door and glass blocks that is a solid framework and makes the entry way appear as one piece.  He even gave my front door a little "facelift" by applying some of the stain to it, that he had used on the framework.  It is that extra attention to detail which I so appreciate.  My entry hall is a piece of artwork now and I've received numerous compliments on how spectacular and warm it now appears.  ** Second Project - I have always wanted an area for working on my crafts.  Since my previous experience with Green Rising Construction was so positive, I called upon Robin to lend his expertise in creating a craft area in my family room.  Up until that point I had shelves and tables piled high with sewing, scrapbooking and rubber stamping projects.  Having everything laying out in that manner does not make for an inviting workspace.  Robin assisted me in purchasing cabinets and countertops, and he then created an inviting workspace for me that allows me to "hide" my projects and supplies when I'm not working on them - and it affords me so much more counterspace for working on my craft projects.  The results are amazing, and I'm truly thrilled. In the past I had worked with a different contractor, and I was not pleased with the experience.  I felt we were misled and that we weren't treated honestly or fairly.  However, working with Green Rising Construction was wonderful, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor.  Robin Wengert has an excellent work ethic, which is a trait that I highly value.  His high standards are evident in his work.  He is honest and easy to work with.  His design work is creative and he has the ability to look at a project from several aspects in order to present his clients with workable options.  Although my projects were what I would consider to be small, Robin treated us with respect and demonstrated that we were valued for our business.  He helped to make two areas of my home more beautiful and liveable and I am truly grateful.  I will continue to use Green Rising Construction for all of my future home needs - and I hope you will too!"

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
