Colin from Foundation Solutions seemed to be knowledgeable and I went with them. The work itself was very professional. As i was WFH, they were very accommodating to my schedule.

Brett came out to do an assessment on our entire foundation and his finding was consistent with our own inspection report. Their recommendation is also on par and we find that Brett is quite knowledgeable about the scope of work. He is also very patient, responsive and respectful throughout the estimating project while we took a long time to decide, a lot of follow ip questions and requests. Not once that I felt rushed, pushed or disrespected. The team kept me informed on the timeline of permit, project starting time, inspection and completion, everything was transparent. They passed inspection without problemsx Our foreman is Humberto who was polite, dependable and kept me well informed on the work they performed the day of, when they finished work and provided needed before and after pictures. I also find their pricing is reasonable compared to other companies that we interviewed with the experience that far exceeds their piers. Overall I had a good experience with the crew. They are polite and really didn't interfere with our life that much while they work. I would recommend them for all foundation repair needs. Be careful because lots of foundation companies will scam you, just because you will not be able to see what they did underneath your crawl space. The last foundation company came out to fix our house they made a bunch of noise for 2 weeks, said they are done and then we hired an independent inspector and confirmed they did nothing. Spend the money on a good company. This one is probably the best one ( we interviewed 6 companies)

If you have a foundation crack, save yourself the time and trouble and call Avalon Structural first. I got multiple estimates for my fairly extensive ~23' horizontal crack. I found there are three types of companies. The first type will do the minimum to chip out the rusted rebar, throw some fresh rebar in there, patch it up with a "band-aid", and charge you handsomely for a quick in-and-out job. The second will glance at your foundation and immediately tell you it has to be replaced, for an even more handsome price, of course. And then there is Avalon Structural. They will perform a comprehensive and highly structurally sound repair, removing all compromised material, charge a fair price, and stand behind their work with a strong warranty. If you visit their website, read the articles, and watch the videos explaining the right and wrong ways to perform foundation repairs, you will be well-equipped to choose the right company for your foundation job. Or, you can save the time and just call them. We couldn't be happier with our repair. The foundation looks great and feathers in perfectly with the undamaged foundation sections. The repair team was amazing and extremely respectful of our property. The city inspector signed off with zero issues, which speaks volumes about the quality of their work.

This was an expensive repair that did not pan out. We got the right guidance from a civil engineer friend to hire a soil engineer first to get a geotechnical report. After their investigation, the soils team recommended a full foundation replacement with specific design. We contacted Paul at ABC, who worked with a structural engineer that followed the soil report's recommendations. ABC then pulled the necessary permits from the city. We decided to proceed with a full foundation replacement. We learned that Paul and his crew had done extensive foundation replacements in the Willow Glen and Rose Garden areas. Paul assured us that we could stay in the house during the work and warned that it would be noisy at the start, but it wouldn't be too bad once the construction was underway. His crew was hardworking, polite, and communicated with us every step of the way. Given lots of houses in San Jose have foundation issues and overall cost of buying a new house is too high, I would highly recommend working with Paul and his team for any foundation related work. They are amazing, and I am fairly certain there isn't anything they can't do.

Paul's team started a few weeks later than planned, but once they got going they stayed right on schedule. Paul was always approachable and easily reachable by phone or text. The crew were efficient and made good effort to avoid damage to plants, fencing etc, although there was some expected/reasonable collateral damage. All in all, everything looks very well done. We have a very solid foundation and people have commented on how straight our house looks now. I'm happy that I found these guys. Side note: We have plaster walls. The six inch correction caused cracking throughout the house and large pieces to pull away from the lathe in our living room. Regardless of who you hire, be prepared for this, and If you have young people in the house you might consider getting your plaster tested for asbestos. Typically the results will come back negative. Good luck, Seth
