"This company impressed us from beginning to end! The estimate and finished price were far lower than other quotes, while the quality, speed & cleanliness of work was far superior to what others offered. They hung plastic sheeting & barriers surrounding the whole work area & used a ventilation system so there was never dust anywhere. ( Concrete dust is dangerous, not just messy!) The entire team ( 5 people 1st day, 3 on 2nd day) always removed shoes & treated our house & us with respect. They walked us through the steps of the job, showed us the work & the damage/ wet areas & the undamaged areas at several points as they were doing it (without being asked). Tested sump pump in our presence... without us asking. In addition to other source of water, they found a crack in the foundation & worked to examine the extent of damage.. which went all the way from outside in. They showed us the full damage, offered to fix this more completely, explained options to do or not do that work, but never pressured us. They provided life-of-structure warranty. They even told us they caused a tiny area of damage to woodwork on a window sill ( I would never have been upset about) when they were done THEY pointed it out and THEY spackled & fixed it ( like 5 min work.) The whole job took 1 and a half days. Like anyone, I was heartbroken to have started finding water in my finished basement & terrified of the cost & the process of fixing it. This company made this as affordable, convenient & low-stress as I can possibly imagine."

"They initially thought we needed the foundations and poles replaced on one or more support poles for our main border beam. This was based on measurements before the carpet was taken out. We scheduled the work, and had the carpet removed. Once removed, it was apparent to the crew that showed up that the work didn’t need to be done. They quickly reassessed and were honest with me about the reassessment. Their crew was already on site and they could have easily just done the work and billed us. They had a structural engineer contact us to follow up and do a formal reassessment of what work needs to be done. Their crew chief attended the engineer’s assessment to make sure they understood. Their estimators and crew were friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. I paid their crew (already on site) to tear apart some wall to make sure we completed the inspection, but no additional work needed to be done. Their work ethic and commitment to getting this right has them on the top of my list for any future work I need done in their area of expertise."

"Very professional! The two people that did the concrete raising were very helpful. Big shout out to Brian and Austin out of the Bristow location. Pricy, but foundation work is sometimes unavoidable."

"After getting several bids from various contractors I decided to go with Old English Construction. Michael was great to work with and the end product is very nice. The project involved the removal of an old concrete retaining wall that was falling over due to improper construction and replacing it with a cinder block wall with brick facing. All of the work was performed within the estimated timeframe. The finished product looks wonderful and did wonders to increase the curb appeal of the house. I would definitely recommend Old English Construction for your next project."

"VRN Masonry repaired our patio, repaired the block supporting our garage wall, and poured concrete to fill in under our front porch. They responded quickly and meet our need to get the work done quickly. The quality of the work is very good. We are pleased with the work they did--it certainly met our needs. They also cleaned up well when the work was completed."

"We noticed a significant hole developing in our shared alleyway, which seemed to worsen quickly. Also there were other depressions in our driveway where the asphalt was on the verge of giving way. After trying to contact multiple contractors and leaving several voicemails, the only one who responded promptly was Patrick from Capitol Hill Masonry. He came out immediately to assess the issues and provided us with a quote without delay. Once we approved the work, his team began the project the same day and completed everything by the following day. We are extremely pleased with the quality of their work. Patrick and his team were friendly and took the time to patiently answer all our questions. I would highly recommend Capitol Hill Masonry to anyone in need of masonry services."

"We hired Sino-American General Contracting to build a porch for us in 2018. This was the fourth project we hired Mason to design and execute. As has been the case with all of his work, the results were outstanding. The deck is well constructed and beautiful. This is one of the best investments we have ever made. It has extended the living space in our home, allowing us to entertain outside 8-9 months of the year. During the pandemic, we have used the porch every day. Mason, working with an architect, conceived and executed the space with precision. He suggested details along the way that stayed within our budget, but ensured that the final product was exquisite. And, when you work with Mason you never have to worry about projects not being designed to code. He is exacting in his work. As soon as we can, we will hire him again to update an aging bathroom. He has become our go-to contractor for everything."

"The project was very well done. The crew of three was prompt and professional, taking care to check with me as they did the work to make sure it was what I wanted done. The project supervisor spent several hours each of the two working days on-site, and returned when the work crew had finished, to check on everything and bring some extra flowers and plants to add in pots to the front porch and containers (this was above and beyond the contracted list of items). They cleaned up everything completely, and left the small yards exceeding my expectation for a makeover."

FAQs for concrete foundation raise projects in Washington DC, DC

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.
