"Our project started in March. It was not finished. We had to keep calling for someone to finish. A diagram was made of what would be done and how much it was going to cost. Shims were supposed to be put in. We showed it to one of the many different people from AFS. One guy, Todd, I believe his name is, told us for 6,000.00 we could get shims in. The guys shot holes through our skirting around the house. The first patch job was a dark grey. These aren't the only places they shot through. Now its cracking also. How is this possibly great work for almost 10,000.00!? The last guy to come out hasn't been back since Oct. Knoxville AFS is terrible! The last guy was here in Oct and not only are they not answering calls, they don't call us back."

"A little late on my review. First issue is a salesman that has no idea weather the foam injection is an open cell or closed cell. After 2 years of a portion of the foam that was shot under the exterior undermined concrete was destroyed. Oil base foam was used for no UV breakdown like the technician said I needed to do when I asked. Even with no sunlight the foam absorbed moisture, Now after thousands of dollars spent on leveling with open cell foam it was only a treatment of the symptom and not a cure. So far the undeveloped concrete is now heading back to where it was. Not to mention the stabilize part of the bill of goods does not happen when there are still areas the vibration from an air compressor running. The actual cause of the unlevel concrete is no compaction of the ground and the lazy man saw cut expansion joint just like I thought! But do not tell a salesman any common sense reason."

"A home inspector recommended Taylor Waterproofing, saying it was a quality company that had reasonable pricing. When I called, the owner said he was booked beyond when I needed the work done, but after considering a moment, he said he would get the work done even if it meant working late or over the weekend. He kept in touch, so i never worried that the work wouldn't happen. When I met his team, I was very impressed with their professionalism and their kindness. The work was done well within my time constraints! My crawl space was left perfectly clean; he did way more than I expected. Working with them was a great experience!"

H&S Concrete Services is the one to call for your projects, Commercial or Residential. -Driveways -Sidewalks / Steps -Basements -Footers -Concrete Pads -Concrete Porches .....And More! We are 100% Family owned and operated with Over 40 Years Experience!
"We hired H&S Concrete to do a concrete patio and steps. They did great work. I am happy with the results, but not happy with the mess they left behind. They left several big concrete slabs in our front yard that we are not able to move and left the concrete that ran out from under the wood frame around the steps and we are not able to get that up, so the steps look bad. We were told they would be back to clean up when they finished the job on 8/13/24, it's 9/25/24 and they have not been back and not answering texts. We are getting ready to start another job right where these concrete slabs are laying and will now probably have to pay someone to have them removed because H&S won't come clean up. - I answered "no" about hiring again, but if they would come and clean up the mess then the answer would be "yes" I would hire again."

I'm an experienced carpenter in the Tri-Cities area. I have the expertise to handle anything from small scale home repairs to large scale industrial projects. My focus is concrete driveways, patios, and residential house foundations. Small to moderate home repairs, painting, yard cleanup, landscaping, laminate floor and tile installation, cabinet/faucet/sink replacement or installation. General handyman work.
"Our experience with S&S Custom Concrete was GREAT!!! First, we were delighted to finally find a company that offered services for small residential projects! So many do not! Seth came out, explained the process in detail, gave us a very fair quote and was able to start the next week. Always on time, meticulous, neat, and worked non-stop from beginning to the end. He cleaned up as he went and left no mess at all! We are so pleased and happy with our new concrete steps and can't say enough good things about Seth! We will definitely use them again and would highly recommend S&S Custom Concrete to anyone who appreciates true craftsmanship, and a great finished project! Seth is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and his work is exemplary! He was truly a blessing to us!"

On average, it takes two to seven days to physically raise your house. However, this does not include the preparation work, which is often the most lengthy process. The entire project, including preparation, obtaining permits, disconnecting utilities, and any subsequent landscaping, can take four to eight weeks. This timeline ensures everything is done safely and that your home remains structurally sound.
If proper safety protocols are not followed, raising a house can cause severe damage, as the process involves applying controlled force to the home's structure. The risks involved make it crucial to hire a skilled contractor who uses engineered methods to secure your home and prevent any harm to your household.
If your foundation shows signs of instability after raising your home, you might need to add structural support. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and recommend reinforcements to ensure your house stays stable and safe for the long term. Available support options include installing additional piers or pilings, reinforcing existing footings, or using steel beams to distribute the load more evenly.
You will need a structural engineer to assess your home before you begin. These professionals determine whether your house is suitable for lifting and identify any issues that could compromise its stability. Their expertise ensures that the project is designed correctly and all risks are managed to achieve a successful lift.
