    Cutting custom shims for the new sub-floor.
    Kingston W.

    I bought a house that is 96 years old. For a house this age, it is in very good condition. It just needs some TLC to reach its full potential. One issue, however, was that there was differential settling. This is where Alpha Structural comes in. I feel the entire process went well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ken came out to survey the situation. We had a good conversation and came to consensus on the scope of work; and I feel I received a fair proposal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]David Gonzalez (supervisor) was good at communicating once the job started. He provided an accurate timeline for Alpha's part of the rehab project (so that I could schedule subsequent contractors). When demolition revealed new things, I was informed. And he provided a good debrief when work was completed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Matteo and Dennis spent three days on the project. Whenever I visited the worksite, they were busy. I don't think people realize what is involved when re-leveling a house. These two demonstrated a lot of skilled work. I (and my neighbors) also appreciate the company's "clean as you go" process. Regardless of the work happening, the worksite was always neat. Going forward, I feel I have a good (new) baseline understanding of what is happening within my house.

    I will start by saying that [[HIGHLIGHT]]Alpha Structural office was very responsive getting back to us regarding our issue and had a consultant, Damien, out the next business day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The quote to install support ceiling joists was competitive and we scheduled work for the following week. Beams were delivered one day before repair work and the lead framer and his assistant completed the job in one day with excellent results and craftmanship. The supervisor Lorena came out the next day to make sure the work was completed correctly. I wish I could remember the name of the lead as he was excellent at his job and made sure repairs were done to our satisfaction.

    Can't say enough good things about Alpha Structural... From our sales rep, Ken, to the engineers and office folks, like Anouar, Shirly, and Virginia, to the dudes that "git er done"--Mario, Julio, and Felipe--this team is fast, sharp, and brought our project in on time, on budget, with ZERO hassle! As the Project Supervisor of a 20,000 sf commercial new build, the last thing I wanted to hear is that we had to shore up a 35+ year old building adjacent to our site BEFORE we could start on the project we'd been hired to do! One call to Alpha started us down a path that put us back on track, with happy clients, and a rock solid building. I'd like to note as well that, between our client and design team, we reached out to SEVENTEEN other structural companies in an attempt to get bids. ONLY Alpha took the call, RETURNED it, and then did what they said they'd do: Fix it right. Fix it once. What else could you ask for?

    [AFTER] - this is the completed structural repair. Notice the attention to detail - they even made a very precise rectangle cut.

    The guy (Ken) not only came early, but he was also refreshingly honest in his assessment of my situation.

    We had an ongoing issue wilh water in the crawl space under our house. Did some research and found…read moreGroundworks. Set an appointment for an estimate. Their sales rep David and Josh came out. Super polite, professional and knowledgable. Their recommendation would solve our issue. We signed up and scheduled. On the scheduled day and time Job foreman, Zachary and uniformed crew arrived in a Groundworks truck, reviewed the job specs and got started. The job took one week as planned. Zach, Michael, Kai and Paul were all great! All very polite, and made every effort to make the job at my house the very best. They succeeded. Plenty of photos and videos documenting the work. Everything very straightforward and transparent. So glad we chose Groundworks to do this job for us. They're the Best!

    I would not recommend Groundworks for foundation drainage work. I hired Groundworks in the bay…read morearea, California. When I agreed to finance this 15k job, I was told the drainage from the crawl space sump pump would and could be connected to the main, but when the crew arrived they were not sure where the drain exit should go and said the city of Santa Cruz doesn't allow them to connect and they could not get a permit. Why was I not told this prior to scheduling the work? I made the mistake of trying to figure out the discharge area with the workers who showed up. They asked me where I want the discharge pipes, but I am not qualified to make that decision. That is why I hired them. The workers were nice and tried to be helpful and this is not a complaint about them. I called the representative who originally came out, inspected, and estimated the job, which included connection to main, and that is when he told me that he could not get permits from Santa Cruz county. This is when I should have cancelled the job. The completed job by Groundworks has discharge pvc lines on the side of the house and terminating at the front right corner of the house and I have to figure out how and where to drain all of the water! I thought that was the point of hiring an expert drainage company. After work was completed and after first rain of season, I get flooding in my garage on two separate occasions. I spend the day clearing everything out and drying the garage out. I call and a technician comes out to inspect a day later and tells me that the sump pump under the master bedroom was installed backwards and wasn't working. Groundworks installed two new pumps as part of the drainage plan. Mistakes can be made, sure, but I would think for such a pricey job they would have it inspected prior to signing it off. Now that the second pump is up and running, it is so loud that it is difficult to sleep at night, but at least my garage isn't flooding. The noise disturbance now is unsustainable. Now, after groundworks installed this drainage system, if that second sump pump is not on, the garage will flood. Prior, I had one old sump pump under the kitchen and never had this flooding issue. I don't know why, but now my garage floods. Follow up was horrible. The supervisor Wyatt never got back to me when he said he would about the concerns I had and how to resolve them. Initially, Wyatt asked how they could make me feel better. I asked for a discount because at the time I thought the flooding was resolved, but I was put off for over a month and in that time realized it is not exactly clear why the garage floods. My concern is the flooding issue and not the discount, but no follow up to discuss. The General Manager did not call me or reach out as Wyatt said he would refer me to the GM. I had to make contact many times for any reply. At this point I am told by Wyatt that the GM wants receipts of the damage to my garage. I don't have receipts for me clearing out my garage to the driveway and drying out the garage. I called you all when it happened and you sent a technician the following day who told me it was i stalled backwards. A month later after waiting with no return call, I had to call again and was told they came out and fixed it already and would I like it to be inspected again. At this point, by whom? Can I trust this company to tell me what is actually going on? They don't even call me back. Why is the garage flooding now if it doesn't have two sump pumps running when it only had one prior? This treatment feels horrible. I am not out looking for something for free and a discount. I am looking to protect my home from water damage and that is not happening This was a 15k job and I now have to hire another company that can actually tell me why my garage floods. This is not ok. After I seek assessment elsewhere and get a good idea of what is actually going on with the drainage system that was installed, I will be following up with Groundworks. This is a company that stands behind putting out this quality of work and charging for it. 100% disappointed. This situation was improperly handled in many ways. Communication nonexistent.
