Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Corvallis, OR

"Overall the job was performed well, and our house is now back to about as good as it can get.  Ramjack calls what they do "practical recovery", and this is what I experienced.  It is not exactly level everywhere, but it is within a 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so everywhere, and it will not be rising and falling with the seasons, as it had earlier.  <br /> I moved into my house a little over a year ago.  The expansive clay soil underneath my home was unfortunately eroded due to some poor gutter downspout placement by the initial and previous owners, running the water from nearly half the roof area straight into the ground next to the foundation (not even attempting to guide the drain away from the concrete foundation, but just clipping off the downspout as it entered the dirt next to the foundation).  Sixty years of that had taken it's toll, and the foundation had settled in two areas by about 2 inches.  This 2 inch deviation was over a distance of only about 6 ft in some areas, and put strain and cracks in our wall and ceilings, and caused our doors to go out of alignment regularly.  I was tired of readjusting the bathroom and bedroom doors so they would close. <br /> Ramjack has some excellent crews, and my crew was led by Freddy, who was just awesome in every way.  Freddy communicated everything clearly, was genuinely interested in performing the best foundation repair possible, and made sure I understood and agreed with every step along the way.  They used very stiff channel iron to stabilize the foundation walls and prevent more cracking (I already had multiple cracks in the foundation).  They clearly explained how that would work with the final lift to prevent further cracking of the foundation during the lift.  Freddy and his crew were really courteous, friendly, and industrious throughout the time they were here.  I would ask for Freddy's crew to perform your job, but I think all Ramjack's crews are pretty good.  The final lift with Ramjack's owner (Ken Marquardt) supervising was performed well.  It was a bit of an anxious time for me, but it turned out well, and I am quite satisfied with the final result. <br /> I had a bid from the major competition to Ramjack also, but after seeing the foundation repair work the competitor performed for my niece, I was leery of their performance, and went with Ramjack instead.  I am happy with that decision.  The helical piers are, in  my opinion, the way to go for the majority of foundation lifts.  The push pier system that the competitor used for my niece's house resulted in multiple new cracks in their foundation.  I would highly recommend Ramjack and their helical piers. <br />"

"couldn't raise one side of sunken sidewalk but adjusted the price"

"It went great. They were there on time. Lupe Alvarado, the foreman, kept me informed as to what they were doing, gave me a suggestion or two on what we could do, and got the job done efficiently & completely. Although they had allowed the entire day, it took only around 5 hours. They cleaned everything up perfectly."

"Very professional, came right in and fixed the problem. Very friendly and answered all of my questions...made me feel comfortable...I'd not only recommend, but I'd also hire them for all of my repairs..."

"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."

"I am out-of-state. Someone demolishes my home mail box. I need it replaced ASAP. I called my realtor. I told him about the urgency for replacement and that I could not be there. Yes. He would help. I was called by Kresta Wallace of Harry Wallace Construction of Albany, OR on Monday. I explained the situation. Her response was that they could do it that week. She handled the situation superbly. Two days later on Wednesday, I had a picture of the completed project. Great job. It wasn't just a mailbox. It was the timing, my not being there, and the urgent need all when they are very busy. She understood, took the task, and got it done. Very much appreciated. This company does excellent work and certainly is committed to doing the best job in a timely manner. They sure have the customer first in mind. My thanks to H Wallace Construction. We all need people like Kresta, Harry, and their employees. I would definitely hire them again and I highly recommend them."

"I have hired Matt several times to do repairs and upgrades on my 1950's house. He works well with me on design and materials options. His price is reasonable. He is always friendly and professonal."

"it was done as described, the color matxch of old concrete and new patches was very drastic.  Eric came back in and cleaned the old concrete and antiqued the new patches to make then much less noticable. <br />"

"Excellent! The work was very professional, everything was cleaned up. If I had any questions, they were ansered immediately. I felt like I was being treated like one of the family. It is hard to spend that much money on something you can't see. But I really felt like they cared every inch of the way! You can't go wrong with them. <br />"

"They were incredibly responsive during a very hard time. In the space of 4 days our home flooded (during a week when there were lots of homes flooding -- they had a foreman on site to take a look within 24 hours, when a competitor wouldn't have been able to even look at the problem for a month). In addition to our home flooding, our son was in a terrible accident and was in ICU for several days, and the hospital for 5+ weeks (he's still there as I write this). Some folks from our church called Justin at Western and asked if they could provide the labor and they could install the sump system to take care of the immediate flooding project. My wife and I weren't even there and between our awesome Church family and western they dug the trenches and installed a sump system to take care of the flooding issue. Western was super busy with the unprecedented flooding, but they worked with us. The second part of the project in preparing the foundation in a stairway to the basement hasn't been completed yet, but is scheduled, and I'm confident they'll do a great job with that too. I'll repost more info if I feel it is needed."
