Bought my first home and unfortunately this company did an 11K plumbing/drainage repair on the home for the prior owner weeks before we purchased. Had to call them for necessary paperwork regarding a hydrostatic test for my foundation warranty. (PermaPier who had repaired the foundation only had the original hydrostatic test where the house failed.) So today I called them to secure any sort of evidence that the drainage system on the house had passed. 1st they told me they didn't have a record of that. Then the woman who answered the phone started saying, "We didn't fail anything." Baffling. After 20 minutes of talking in circles, I realized I had entered the Twilight Zone. Finally, after repeating myself in five different ways they started talking about a green piece of paper. And yes, this is what I was asking for. Hope grew in me. The contractor, who had been yelling in the background throughout the conversation, decided the plumber they contracted had "the green slip" and that they would get it for me. I was getting closer!!!! Then they called back 5 min later and gave me the general phone number to the city of San Antonio? wth? This is when I lost it. The reason this company was hired was b/c of a failed hydrostatic test. Wouldn't you think they would have a copy of evidence that the house drainage now passes? Truly one of the worst and weirdest customer service experiences of my life. With regards to the work they did so far I have to dig out an entire side of my house b/c they placed a pipe so shallow that there is now dirt piled up onto the siding of my house. In Texas that is a termite risk. If the pipe had been dug to a correct depth the dirt would cover the slab foundation only i.e. no termite risk. Spare yourself the agony of having to deal with these people. Or for entertainment go for it!

From the initial contact, scheduling a consultation through the completion of the foundation lift…read moreand clean-up, I have nothing but positive things to say about this business model. Krista created a practical project plan tailored to my vision for the future of the property. She explained all aspects fully and responded quickly to multiple contacts from me to ask additional questions. Most of my questions were to compare materials and methods between my top two candidates for the project. I discovered that the items that made the other bid more expensive really made the job easier for their crew, but did not provide greater value to me. I had two crews for my project working inside, placing 7 piers, and outside, placing 18 piers. All the crew members were very quiet, polite and kept things very clean throughout the two days. I appreciate all the hard work done by Chris, Christopher, Justin, Glenn, and Dariun. Jairo, John, Michael, Antonio, Alejandro, and Humberto took extra care to keep everything progressing smoothly while responding to my questions or concerns. I did end up having some plumbing issues that were caused by the foundation lift. This was explained to me in detail before the project. The damage occurred during the lift and not during the preparations by Risen. I was so glad that I had chosen Risen, as I still had funds left for all subsequent repairs. 5-stars!

We had a great experience with Risen Foundation Solutions. From start to finish, they were all very…read morerespectful of the property and keeping the areas clean. We were very pleased with the outcome. We knew all the details throughout the whole process and what to expect. It was a great experience. Especially a shout out to Chris, John, Alejandro, and Isreal for their kindness and respect as they worked through the project. I would highly recommend Risen Foundation Solutions.

Although the work done by Vantage foundation repair was done in 2016 we started noticing issues…read moreright away with more cracks on the walls and doors not closing properly. The bedroom section of our home slants downward with our wooden floors bulging in some areas and causing crackling noises like never before. We hired this company because of favorable reviews but now realize you can't always count on this. We felt our home should have been professionally leveled, it makes no sense whatsoever adding new concrete piers on a totally unleveled structure. Even the engineer hired to do the final inspection overlooked the fact that there were two concrete piers missing from the intended amount. So much for professionalism.

I contacted Vantage when I noticed cracks in my tile floor that weren't there before. Derk came out…read morepromptly at the appointment time and I showed him the floor. He took measurements of how level the floor was across the entire tiled area and determined that it was well within limits of what it should be. He also examined the visible part of the foundation outside the house and said there was no visible issues there either. He assured me that all seemed perfectly fine, but also had some suggestions as to further tests I could have done on the plumbing to determine if there was a possible leak that might be causing a slight shift in the slab. I thanked him and asked how much I owed him for the inspection. He said "no charge". How unexpected that was! Derk was completely professional and personable the whole time. I'd definitely call him again if I need help (which I hope I never do!)

The crew that came out was professional, respectful, and worked extremely hard--they got the job done in just 24 hours, even though the estimate was for five days. That said, the communication side of things felt overwhelming to me. Before I even signed a contract, I was getting constant phone calls and texts pushing for a deposit. I understand they wanted to secure the job, but it felt a bit intense, especially for someone going through this for the first time. After the job was done, I didn't get a follow-up check to confirm if the house was properly leveled. My son saw them move the house, but we were never told how much it was lifted or if everything is now where it should be. I was just advised not to repair any cracks or paint for 6-8 weeks--but I don't know if someone is supposed to come back at that point to check the leveling again? I paid half down and the rest was requested immediately after the job finished--again, through a flood of messages and calls. It was just a lot all at once, and in hindsight, I wish I had waited until I could give the process my full attention. Overall, the crew was great, the work was done quickly, and the price was fair. I just wish the communication had been more balanced and that there had been more clarity post-job. I'd still recommend Hercules for their honesty and hardworking team--just be ready for a fast-paced and sometimes intense process.

We had an area of ceiling sheetrock repaired twice and the problem recurred. When contractors gave…read moreus estimates to repair it a 3rd time, they told us there would be no warranty on their work, because it was likely that frame movement resulted in the cracking... and that the root cause could be a foundation problem. They suggested we have it looked at. I spent some time looking at reviews of foundation companies, and settled on Bats. When I called, I was asked a few questions about my issue, and an appointment time was set with Calvin Burnett for about a week later. Calvin called ahead because he was running early the day of the appointment. He spent over an hour inspecting our home inside and out. He took precise measurements from a high point on our floor, and at points throughout our home. When he was done, he explained what he found, which was that the foundation measurements were within specification. He sent a report including a map of our home with the measurements later that same day. There was no charge for this, and Bats will keep the data in their records for comparison if the need arises in the future. Both the person I spoke with over the phone and Calvin were professional and helpful. There was no obligation or charge for the excellent service we received. I highly recommend this business for their honesty and professionalism.

They were not the cheapest, nor the most expensive; however, they were the most comprehensive, especially for the price. The work was done quickly, and correctly. It has been a couple of months now and my house is doing great! From the sales representative, to the office personnel, to the crew, and even the owner...top notch customer service! Things that other companies would charge extra for or make you do it yourself, they didn't BAT an eyelash to (PUN INTENDED)! I have since told several neighbors about them and will continue you to do so. One neighbor has already used them and another one is preparing to. If you are reading this, I promise I have done all of the exhaustive leg work to find the right contractor....LOOK NO MORE! You found them! Great job guys and thanks again!

We bought a home that ended up having some issues including foundation problems. We called several…read morecompanies to come take a look. Done Right wasn't the cheapest, but they seemed to really know what they were doing and were responsive and professional. They were able to shore up the foundation on a poorly done addition to the home and time will ultimately tell but the cracks have largely closed up and the area seems a lot more stable/level. The crew was polite and professional - worked quickly and efficiently on what turned out to be a bigger job than I think any of us anticipated! Mason was our main point of contact and was just wonderful - answered all our questions and addresses any issues/concerns as soon as they came up. It's never fun when you have a major issue with your house like this but having a reliable team like Done Right in your corner certainly makes it better.

I had a terrible experience with Done Right Foundation Repair (formerly Done Rite Foundation)…read more They came out and worked on my foundation in 2019. A few years later (2022) I was noticing some minor cracks, not too bad but I brought it to their attention. I spoke to Chris on the phone who had a bit of an aggressive and condescending tone, and was blaming me for not "maintaining the soil" around the house. Since the cracks weren't too bad, I decided to let it go... It didn't seem worth it to have to deal with him. A few years later (2025) I had some sudden bigger cracks happening. So I called back. I was corresponding with both Chris and Mason who continued to tell me that I did not maintain the soil and that's why I was having so many cracks and it wouldn't be covered under the warranty. I explained that I believed I did everything I was supposed to do. I have an irrigation system, and I installed gutters and french drains as recommended by a 3rd party engineer. They continued to argue with me and continued to say that it was my fault. Then they told me that they would send an estimate to repair the foundation (again). As I was waiting to get the estimate for work that I felt should have been under their warranty I decided to get some other quotes. I called a few places (who were all very professional and responsive) and got a couple more quotes. (Also, just a note, my house shifted approximately 3 inches on one side.) I had to request the estimate a couple of times from Done Right and when I got it, it was much higher than the other quotes that I got. Obviously I decided to go with another company. I also was happy to not have to deal with Chris or Mason again. I've never dealt with more unprofessional people in my life. When the other company came out and started the work, I received a couple of abrasive emails from Chris and Mason accusing me of "poking the bear" by asking for an estimate when I already had "ulterior motives for who knows how long" by going with another company. It was crazy! AND he took pictures of the other company working on my foundation and sent them in the email. Were they watching my house??? He also said the company I hired did terrible work and threatened to report me to code compliance because they weren't doing the work with the proper permits. The company that I went with has been SO LEGIT and PROFESSIONAL and so far, has been a great experience.... The last email exchanges were just laughable. After blaming me for not maintaining the soil, they then said that I didn't even have a warranty because I never transferred the warranty when I bought the house. Ummmmm..... I owned the house for 8 years before they came and worked on the foundation and I still own the house. There was no transfer of ownership. They just did not want to honor the warranty and they were going to find a way out of it. They told me they "tried their best to work with me but I chose to be difficult." The point is moot because I wouldn't want them anywhere near me or my house and I'm still VERY creeped out that they were taking pictures of the other company working at my house. *** One more note: Done Right Foundation Repair, LLC is NOT a BBB Accredited Business as they state on their profile.
