Get matched with top concrete foundation raise pros in North Charleston, SC

"Please see the earlier review (3/12) for context. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Mt. Valley Foundation Services regarding our sump pump installation. Overall, the team did an excellent job with both the initial installation and the subsequent repair of the discharge lines, which had come apart over time. They were professional, transparent, and truly seemed to care about the project. The only challenge I encountered was not with Mt. Valley Foundation Services itself, but rather with its parent company, Ground Works. From my experience, Ground Works has acquired many smaller foundation companies across the U.S., and it seems they may be struggling with logistical coordination. The call center they use is not very user-friendly, and I experienced multiple miscommunications and scheduling errors. Unfortunately, this puts Mt. Valley Foundation Services at the mercy of Ground Works' logistical issues. That said, I highly recommend working with Mt. Valley Foundation Services. My advice is to obtain the names and direct contact information of the service team when booking—this makes future communication significantly easier. Once I was able to reach the team directly, they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Living in a flood-prone area, I feel confident that the sump pump project they completed will be a tremendous benefit to our home and property. A big thanks to Danny (the manager) and his team for their outstanding work!"

"I’m happy with my project for the job was performed by professionals. I do recommend that all jobs be looked at from both sides of the house, under and outside."

"They provided an evaluation and free estimate. I did not need their service, but they were prompt and courteous and provided me with other service recommendations. I would hire them if I ever have foundation needs."

"I had some water leaking into my house whenever it rained hard, after finding out it wasn't the roof I called them to look at the foundation. He came when he said he would and was pleasant and professional. He told me the foundation was fine it was the siding being loose around the windows. He took the time to show me what I had to have fixed on the siding even tho he didn't have to go out of his way to help me find the problem. It is good to see that kind of honesty in a business.

"Tony with coastal concrete was exceptional from the beginning to the end. He came out and gave me a quote we walked the property talked about different ideas and tactics. He came with a crew that were top notch very professional. Left my area clean done in a professional way. I would recommend them to anyone looking for concrete work. I will have them back for my next project."

"The quality of the work performed was excellent. I am very pleased with the appearance of the replaced section of my driveway The front steps now look as good as new, as well. The cost exceeded the initial estimate, but I have to give them a pass on that, as there were some real surprises during removal of the old concrete (no grade preparation was done for the original driveway, just concrete poured over uneven ground, so in places it was 4" thick, and in others about 12" thick, making removal very difficult). Carlos Concrete did a good job with leveling the site and placing stone over the ground before pouring, and that should result in a better driveway long-term. My only reservation was a delay in removing the tree roots excavated from the site before pouring the new driveway section. They were professional and friendly."

"I needed to add a bathroom and utility area, but did not want to increase a footprint of the house and decided to incorporate my carport into a living area. It allowed me to save on roofing and foundation, but created certain logistical difficulties in the project. Mike and his crew have creatively addressed all the issues which allowed me to maximize the living area while still being compliant with all the building codes. Work on the project was well planned and performed according to the schedule. In fact it took longer to wait for building permit from the county than the project itself. I also wanted to point out that Mike possesses a rare quality for contractor, he is very punctual and responsive. He had returned all my calls/e-mails within a day and had addressed all my concerns or requests in a timely manner. It was a pleasure to work with Mike and his crew and I would hire them for my next project without hesitation."

"Online advertisements for providers offering polylevel work for the Augusta, GA, region is quite sparse. I went with Cantey Foundation Specialists because their website appeared the most professional. I initiated contact through their website in early March. Due to a vacation and work schedule,I was unable to schedule an estimate until 4 weeks later, so the timeliness for the initial appointment was my fault. Nonetheless, a week before their representative's arrival, Cantey Foundation Specialists sent a package with a picture and bio of their representative in addition to some brochures on the polylevel process. The representative called to verify the appointment a few days before. 
On the appointment day, the representative drove over a 100 miles and was right on schedule. After introducing himself, we went to the backyard where we had a questions-and-answers exchange. Shortly after, he set about surveying the work area. This took some time as he was measuring the square footage of the area to be re-leveled which ended up being 396 sq ft total (area plus material costs). The initial cost estimate was $4,752 ($12 per sq ft), but, after an offer of reducing the price by 10%, the price was lowered to $4,276.80 ($10.80 per sq ft). Now, there's an upfront 20% deposit ($855.36), which is reasonable, but it turns out they're quite busy--actual work could only be scheduled in just over 7 weeks...mid-July. Until then, I hope there won't be too many stubbed toes and mama bear stink-eyes thrown at me.
Along with the contract, a warranty was included. It's a 5-year warranty which is transferable to new owners. Basically, if the worked area drops 1/4" or more, Cantey will fix the problem.

"They repaired the kitchen floor after a serious leak as well as repaired and replaced the subfloor foundational wood beams. We were stuck because we had to have the work done prior to an appraisal of the house in a week. Surprisingly they were able to move quickly and help us out. We were delighted with the professionalism of Chip and his foreman and all the workers! We were happy to share the house with them for a couple days and very pleased with the final work."

"I called Hamilton Home Improvement and got an affordable estimate and friendly phone service. They got to my house quicker then other places normally do and they were very professional and kind. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for any other home improvement needs I have."
