"Sign today to get an additional x% discount" "My boss won't like this but...." "Oh oops I forgot to add this one $10,000 piece to your invoice, the price we've been discussing for 1/2 hour is now 50% higher" "Well I guess I could give you the friends and family discount..." etc etc Every time I said no to their "absolute lowest price they can do," they came back with another "lowest price" with some kind of discount or deal that they "shouldn't do, but can make an exception for..." I've read online that they do excellent work, but all they wanted to talk about was their competitors. If I had a nickel for every time I heard about "the other guys," I could possibly afford their newest "absolute best price we can do." Not a fan. Just tell me the price, tell me what you do, and cut the gimmicks.

Based on my experience, any proactive issues you can take to avoid any water issues is money well spent. I love how they work with you to stay in your budget but help you to track issues you may see in the future. In our situation, we have a gutter issue that showed up when we had the recent monsoon rain. We're going to fix our gutters (clean them out) but will track a second issue (we also have an issue with the volume of our 2nd floor gutter pours onto our garage roof as the 2nd floor and the garage roof gutter handle the same volume of water which means that if we max out the 2nd floor gutter, the garage roof gutter will be overflowing). They also pointed out that they can fix issues with our porch setting (a common issue given that NC builder often throw all their trash under the porch then bury the trash when they finish their construction). There is an easy fix for that issue. Also, they can fix an issue with our cement driveway slab tilting though it is more expensive given the size of the slab. We'll address this later.

At this point, they have done about 15 jobs for me in the past 4 years and I will continue to call them. They have worked on houses from $50,000 to $500,000 and I have come to expect the same no-frills, straight shooting, know-how. Given the number of jobs that they have done for me, I think I am a better judge than most.

I want to give a special shout-out to Mark Wall, a phenomenal inspector with Carolina Basement…read moreSystems. Mark came right in and got to work evaluating what was needed to solve a leaky-basement issue. He was very prompt, professional, and personable. He explained how Carolina Basement Systems could help solve the problem, what products would be used, the funding options, and the warranties. I was most impressed with the great customer service provided by Mark, and the lifetime/transferrable warranty offered by Carolina Basement Systems. If you have a leaky basement and want good value and service for your money, I recommend you reach out to Mark Wall at the company that handles "All things basementy"--Carolina Basement Systems.

We knew the project was going to be challenging. However, we found a partner in Foundation Doctor, who was up for the challenge. We found them to be easy to work with as we were working out the bids/pricing, determining the differences between their proposal and the other 2 companies(nationally owned and WAY MORE costly). Michael was a PLEASURE to work with. Once onsite, Mason did an outstanding job coordinating the crew. His ability to keep everyone aligned and ensure smooth execution made a noticeable difference in the project's success. Mason demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout, communicating along the way regarding updates and issues found. Mason not only coordinated the crew with precision, ensuring tasks were completed efficiently and with a sense of urgency, but also guided the team through significant challenges posed by hard, rocky soil. Their proactive problem-solving and adaptability kept the project moving forward without delays. Mason's commitment to delivering top-quality work was evident in every detail, and their focus on excellence ensured our expectations were exceeded. Overall, Mason's efforts, along with "Q" showing up to give this project a shot of energy, had a direct impact on getting us across the finish line, maintaining high standards, and creating a positive experience for us, making them invaluable contributors to this project's success. I/we have no doubt we will recommend their services for anyone needing results bordering on "miracle" status. I'm sure we will sleep a little easier at night knowing our home is much safer thanks to Michael, Stephen, Jackie, Mason, Q, and the other superstars!

Jonathan Tagar the owner of this company is a thief and is running a scam business. I doubt he even…read morehas his HVAC qualifications/liscence let alone a business license. If this man comes to your house, he will most likely pretend he isn't the owner and is just an employee. My wife and her mother made the mistake of booking him through some sort of broker company called En Duct. When he got out here, he met with my wife and mother-in-law and conned them into believing there was a mold problem with my AC unit. What was initially around $200 Duct Cleaning Service turned into an $800 scam! He told my wife that he would treat my AC unit for mold and to install a UV light that would prevent it from happening again. He claimed he did all this work and upon leaving refused to give my wife an invoice after she paid him in cash... Huge mistake! I wish my wife would have informed me about any of this as this would have been prevented right from the start. Since then we have had the work looked over by another contractor and was confirmed that it was a scam and nothing was conducted by Southeastern Air Care. Not only that, but I have law enforcement involved now to which they have confirmed Jonathan Tager's actions. Hopefully it won't be long until he is held accountable. Whatever you do, do not book this company as this man is a con artist that preys on weak people.

He builds business on homeowner satisfaction -- with emphasis on not having to return for the same concern. He stands firmly behind his work.

After I noticed some settlement issues, I called a few companies in the area to get quotes on repairs. AW&FR offered me a very reasonable price, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, and I felt no pressure to sign anything. This was not the case with every company, and AW&FR felt they could achieve the same results with half the cost. The contract was very simple to understand and Ed set very clear expectations on scope of work, date of work, and time to complete, and felt confident this would address the settlement issues. Mike, Ed, and the team came by yesterday and installed 6 helical piers on my property while having to work around some complications with underground utilities. They were able to lift the house a few inches and I can already notice the improvement in my floors. I have attached a previous crack repair on my brick veneer. After the house lift, the crack sealed itself. They left the work site with the expectations I had and that were in the contract, which was disturbed, level grade soil. The final price was what was agreed to, and there were no surprises. If you need work done on your foundation and want it done by normal, hardworking people at a reasonable cost, I would highly consider contacting AW&FR.

While we…read moreended up deciding to go with a locally owned company, I have to say, inspector / salesman, Kent Tysinger of '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, was thorough, knowledgeable, honest, and BY FAR the most professional and courteous of any of the people we've had out from any of the bigger, national chains. I was impressed by the fact that he gave us a few different options of what could be done, and explained the pros and cons of each, rather than just fearmongering and pushing the most expensive one with all the bells and whistles. '58's quote was definitely higher than the local companies, but generally on-par, if not a little lower than, their big national peers. And true to the promise they make on their website, they didn't do any kind of price matching or marketing gimmicks; they just gave me the price. '58 was our 2nd choice behind who we decided to go with (out of 6, yes SIX separate inspections/quotes), and I would definitely use them for other work, should I need it down the line.
