"Our Man in Rio".... ....er, I should say, our man "IS" Rio,…read moreas in Rio Morales, owner-operator of Montgomery Structural Lifters. The first thing you should know, is that Rio is not just some guy who only shows-up at your job site to collect the bag-fulls of money you will likely need (regardless of who you hire) if you are unfortunate enough to need structural foundation repairs; but on the other hand, Rio was there every day on our job directing/orchestrating his crew and swinging a hammer with the best of them. That said, even if you don't know didley about foundation repairs, but are freakin'-out enough to start calling foundation experts, I can tell you from my experience of having no less than 13 contractors/foundation companies coming out in the past year before hiring Montgomery, Rio was the only one who instilled in me any confidence that his job approach was the right one for resurrecting the listing /crumbling foundation of our otherwise structurally sound 1920s Land Park garage. I initially emailed Rio pix of the deteriorated slab/foundation/dramatic leaning of the garage before he came out for his extremely thorough evaluation; and yes he did charge a fee (which was applied against his bid), but I can tell you it was the best investment I could have made. I have been in this home 43 years and am pretty handy with repairs/general construction, but I do leave the complicated jobs like foundations/roofs/HVAC to the pros, and I do know enough to ask the right questions and know the right answers when I hear them. If you don't have that kind of knowledge yourself, DON'T WORRY, Rio will give you the "straight-story" and you WON'T have to worry about getting ripped-off by shoddy work or un-needed repairs to "jack-up" a repair bill. Upon accepting the bid, Rio arranged for his structural engineer to draw-up the plans and took care of all the permitting, which went seamless, and on one occasion during the project while the city inspector was meeting with Rio on the job site, they were both on the phone with the engineer to discuss some of the foundation plans; which obviously made the "passing" inspections proceed without delays. Our job involved actually lifting the entire garage on steel beams and demo-ing the shot slab & foundation/re-racking the entire building with "come-alongs"/new internal bracing/seismic bolt & plates for the upgraded footers/headers, all which was brought up to current city code. Rio initially gave me two bids for my choosing: one to generally fix the foundation issues by repair or the second option, which I chose, to completely renovate the garage, and I couldn't be happier with Rio's attention to detail. He estimated 6 weeks from start to finish and Office Manage Dana always kept me advised of scheduling to keep Rio and crew from being in 14 places as one time! The crews always let me know beforehand what was scheduled for the day and ALWAYS showed-up on time and were a quite pleasant competent crew (Thank you to Travis, Rick, Jessie & Jesus for the great work!) OK I could go on and on, but I will say I am pretty picky who works on our house and Rio is as honest and competent as you will find, right alongside other top-notch contractors I have used ie "Fargo Construction" (now retired Land Park remodeler); "Sierra Pacific" for HVAC; and "Cal Vintage Roofing". To sum it up, we were extremely grateful that Montgomery took on our project and couldn't be happier. Thankyou Rio, Dana and the rest of the crew !!

I read the yelp reviews for Montgomery Structural Lifters. they had great reviews so I called the company to schedule a home inspection and bid. The office gave me Rio's email and I emailed and then spoke to him on the phone. He said he would contact me to schedule the appointment. he never contacted me. I called the office and they kept saying he would contact me. i also emailed him again. He never responded. if he was to busy to do the job, he should have let me know that right away instead of wasting my time. I think his lack of follow thru was very unprofessional.

Scheduling with Clair was incredibly fast--it only took about 2 minutes to set up a general inspection. Julia, my inspector, was fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very patient with all my questions. After a thorough walkthrough of both the inside and outside of my home, she explained that the foundation itself is fine--the cracks were just poorly mixed surface cement that needs repatching. She even caught two other issues during the walkthrough that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I really appreciate the honesty and the extra effort. Great experience!

After some struggles to get our package finalized, and submitted to the county, which we expected to be regular delays (sudden travel, other clients etc...) this is when the true colors showed. EXTREMELY difficult to get a hold of, when the engineer does answer they were rude and disrespectful towards us, their client. Similar to the other bad reviews received. At one point we were told to stop calling or texting. We were also told we would be sued when we expressed our issues. We were told their were other projects prior to ours in the midst of our reviews with the county. after the FOURTH round of comments from the county for structural plan, some were repetitive, these delays caused were also costly but that did not seem to bother the engineer at all - at this point he received nearly his entire payment so were definitely less important. We were completely IGNORED, no answer to text/emails or calls. The delays caused by Alpine were costly and extremely stressful. When going to try and engage a replacement, a different structural engineer, we were told by multiple reputable agencies that the work done was messy and had to be redone. Would DEFINITELY not recommend Alpine to anyone. Finally, the engineer is a Civil engineer on record, not structural. Which we were not informed of and discovered later on. We are now forced to engage courts to try and retrieve some of our money back.

We walked in the house and I walked him around showing him doorways. He asked where attic access was n I told him it was in the babies room where he was sleeping. So he asked where access was under house. I showed him where that was and explained I would need my daughter to move her shoes for access. He explained what "he thought" might be the problem. He said he could refer 2 contractors that could assist in the issue. He gave me those names and #'s which I will post later. Once he gave me the referrals I asked what we owe him. He said I usually charge $300 but since you are close to my office it will only be $200. I paid cause I'm not one to argue. He left with check n I looked at my ring doorbell n realized he literally was at my house for 14 min. Needless to say he NEVER even looked under the house or in attic area. Walked around and looked at about 4 doorways In house and made an assumption. I PAYED HIM $200 FOR 14MIN OF HIS TIME N HE GAVE ME NOTHING. I completely understand a flat service charge. But a service charge requires a service. I PAID A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER $200 TO WALK IN MY HOUSE N TELL ME I HAVE A FOUNDATION ISSUE. WOW
