Get matched with top concrete foundation repairers in Denison, IA

"We noticed some cracking on our outside walls and separation on our front steps. We realized that this is a common problem in Colorado due to the poor composition of the soil. So we recently secured the foundation of our home with Groundworks. First, let me point out that stabilizing the foundation of your home can be a daunting undertaking. It is also one of the most responsible ways to perserve the equity in your property. Groundworks has a reputation for excellence in preparation, execution, and problem-solving in foundation work. But we had never had to address this level of home renovation and the extensive landscaping in our yard complicated the scope of our project. While we were concerned about our project's complexity, we were extremely relieved at the high level of knowledge, competence, communication, customer service, and professionalism awarded to us by the Groundworks foundation team. Our foreman Clem, and his team (Luis, Noah, Ran, and Rokk) literally went above and way beyond our expectations to explain next steps, listen to us, problem-solve, and execute a solution to every concern we raised. Clem was a constant and reassuring presence on-site, informing us continually throughout the process to ensure our level of confidence and understanding. As he put it, "I am here to take care of you." He meant that, and he certainly did. We can enthusiastically state that working with, and completing our foundation project with Groundworks was a GREAT experience!"

"Excellent job. Highly recommend this company for foundation work."

"Everything went as explained, diagramed, and promised by our System Design Specialist, Mr. Nicolas Hruska. We initially contacted just the top two Foundation Repair Experts listed on Angie's List because we can't afford to have our home repaired by anyone who lacks the proper credentials, staff, tools, training, techniques, supplies, 25 year transferrable warranty, and the hands on experience to deliver all services as promised. We are extremely pleased with the final results to take back our homes basement from poor workmanship done by the original builder and owner of our home back in 1979 We purchased the home in 2001 and unknown to us the foundation had been placed on top of clay based sub-soil which was an acceptable building practice back in 1979. Today's building codes prohibit this careless and costly practice of home site preparation for the homeowner. A word to the wise, do your home work first and then protect the biggest asset that most Americans have, their home. Respectfully, Kenny L. Hutcheson, CMSgt, USAF/USN, Ret. Indianola, Iowa"

"<p>Just wanted to drop a line or two and let you all know how impressed we were with both your workmen and their work.  In today's society, you just don't find companies that really do a great job, they usually just do enough to "get by".<br /> <br /><br /> <br />At times, without their knowledge, I was home and could hear some of the men talking.  Much to my surprise, their language and subject matter were always appropriate.  Don't find that much in the labor force today!  It spoke volumes to me.  When they did speak with us, they were always very kind and informative.<br /> <br /></p> <p>The work that was performed consisted of excavating the dirt to gain access to the footings on both sides of the foundation.  On the inside, they had to bust out the concrete floor and hand dig to the footing in order to install their brackets for the "unified lift system".  After installing the brackets, they attached special hydraulic equipment to the brackets which drove 3" diameter<br /> <br />pipes down to bedrock.  Next, they attached a hydraulic jacking system to each pier location.  Using their special vehicle with a unique hydraulic pumping system they attached hydraulic lines to each location and were able to do a controlled lift.  From what we understand, your company is one of the only ones that can perform this "unified lift".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We were taking pictures daily and emailing them out to family and friends who could not believe their eyes!  They started out making our basement look like a bomb went off and when they were done it was swept and looking very nice!<br /> <br /><br /> <br />All this to say that the work done was absolutely astonishing!  We will highly recommend EHM to everyone that we hear may need this type of work completed.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Thanks so much again.  We were dreading having this work completed, but you all made it so much nicer by your<br /> <br />expertise, kindness, and professionalism.</p> <p>Mike and Cheryl <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"I had a fantastic experience working with the Behncke team recently.  They did some major work on our home.  Our porch was sinking on our 1920's home and they raised the porch and leveled the footings.  They also came in and tore out about 100 feet of concrete sidewalk.  The bid was extremely fair, especially compared to others.  The crew that did the work was extremely professional and pleasant.  My wife works a lot from home and said they were always really great to her when at our home.  Joe even went above and beyond, helping us with some additional clean up at the worksite. Excellent service.  Looking forward to working with Behncke Construction again. <br />"

"Jack was here on time for estimate, explained everything in depth, and provided a lot of useful information. The workers were very polite. They were late the 2nd day but called. The clean up was pretty good. Some baseboards were left off but Jack said he could send someone to clean up better. When I was cleaning noticed some holes and marks in my walls, where a pipes or tools must have hit them, that will need some drywall repair and a lot of paint touching up."

"I contacted several different companies for bids and different ways to repair the basement. They all seemed a little high priced for the work they wanted to do. When i contacted Leroy at "concrete king". He came out gave me an estimate that wasn't to far off what the price was. He began the work around the time he said he would. Every day i came by and he included me on how everything was going. If something came up for the construction he would give me several options on what could be done. It took about 8 to 9 days for him to build all new basement walls. I asked one thing that was not part of the basement and he took care it with no problem without even charging me. This man will give you a great deal and you will not be unsatisfied. oh and don't be afraid to talk with him he will work with you on everything. one year later he brought out more dirt for the slope had settled and he had to add more."

"It actually went well.  There was an issue with concrete dust being all over but they made good on it. <br /> Be sure you ask them about how they plan to lessen the amount of dust from the removal of the old concrete to the mixing of the new. <br />"

"Our initial contact toward the end of April 2014 was extremely impressive.  Kiss Construction Company, L.L.C. of Mason City, IA returned our call promptly and arrived to provide a bid and contract in a very professional manner.  The price was a bit high, however we were going with better quality materials and were verbally promised the work would be done by June 1st so we decided to sign.  He wanted 1/2 of the price down for materials to get started so we paid that up front.  We would <strong>NEVER</strong> do that again with any company, unless ALL materials were delivered to our job sight immediately after payment.   Looking back, we should have had a completion date on the contract and what would happen if the deadline was not met.  We also should have done our due diligence before signing the contract to check them out on the public local courts online. <br /> To make a VERY LONG story short, the projects were FINALLY completed on July 21, 2014. (we sign on April 22nd and were verbally promised completed on June 1st)  Admittedly, we had quite a bit of rain off and on during the month of May, however we also had some beautiful WEEKS of sunshine - where virtually no work was completed.  <strong>This was after <em>numerous</em></strong> phone calls and text messages in which many were not answered or responded to.  Some phone calls WERE answered right away, however that was when we dialed them using friend's phones with different phone numbers that the construction company were unfamiliar with.   <strong>This was after</strong> many spots of the existing chain link and wire fence were opened up along our back yard perimeter causing us to continually guard our little dogs when they went outside to do their business.  <strong> This was after</strong> weeks of looking at unfinished work after an extremely nice day weather-wise.  <strong>This was after</strong> June 1st, which was the verbally promised completion date.  <strong>This was EVEN after</strong> the owner of the construction company came to plead for more money (he wanted 1/2 more of the remaining balance) on July 3rd so he could pay his workers and we kindly complied with his wishes (not 1/2 of the money, but close) - which we would NEVER do again.  <strong>This was after</strong> beginning the process of legal proceedings so that we could at least receive the MATERIALS we had already paid for.  We thought that by at least having the materials on hand  we might be able to finish the job ourselves if they never came back. <br /> Needless to say, we are THRILLED these projects are completed!  All in all, if Kiss Construction would have dealt with us during this process the same way they did in the beginning, would have kept us informed of their time lines - would have returned our calls or texts - would have came to do the work in a reasonable and timely manner - we would have been satisfied.  The work that they did was good and the projects came out nice. However, for the most part we are thrilled that these projects are completed so that this construction company has no other reason to be on our property and we don't have to deal with them anymore. <br />"
