We live in the hills in Los Angeles County and our chimney weighing over a ton has settled a few…read moreinches over the last few years, creating leaks in our roof with rain and pulling the floor around it. We decided with Eaglelift as they have the technology and experience of doing such work. We worked with a geo-engineer who drew up plans for installing 6 helical piers to support the chimney's footing toward halting the settling once and for all. The job also included sealing in the holes dug with high-density polyurethane foam which solidifies into solid rock, holding the helical piers, the clamps into place. The most exasperating part of working with Eaglelift was the scheduling and how our start date kept getting pushed back for months. It was scheduled as a 4.5 day job, but with rain and other challenges it ended taking up 2.5 weeks. That said, having experienced the curve balls that came with the foundation work of our chimney, it is understandable how our original start date got pushed back the way it did. My biggest angst about the job of reinforcing the foundation of the chimney was having to tear up our flooring, and the potential cracks in the old brick chimney, which towers over 20 feet tall. I was fortunate though to have a great team working at my home. They took care to cover the traffic area of the flooring with heavy paper, sealed off their working area with plastic and with a zipper to enter and exit. And when it became clear they needed more flooring to cut into, they helped me move and cover up the furniture. The team was made up Ramiro (the foreman) with colleagues Nick, Edward and Jose, and I can tell you, with all my years of remodeling and construction workers, these guys were a nice bunch to have around. They were pleasant, they enjoyed their work, and worked their tails off. The most nerve wrecking part for all involved was the lifting of the chimney by just over an inch, which was successfully achieved without any damages to the chimney and its footing, not to mention the rest of the house. All in all, I'm glad we had Eaglelift and especially Ramiro and his team. Thank you guys!

I spoke directly to the owner after he reached out and he was very apologetic and they seemed…read moredetermined to make things right. Project finally got a start date on 7/25. I was able to discuss the scope with the project manager and the crew got started right away. The work, installation of 16 push piers and void fill took 5 days instead of the originally quoted 7-10. The crew (Brandon, Ricardo, and Ivan) were courteous, efficient, and cognizant of our needs (access across doorways, warning before noise, calls before arrival). They often stayed a bit late to make sure excavations were safe and open holes were blocked off. They subcontracted a ground penetrating radar tech to mark out utilities within the slab to avoid any mishaps when drilling for injection ports. They lifted and stabilized the slab and performed the void fill so that our floor is probably as strong as it was when it was first constructed. They were fairly good at communicating possible change orders and were patient with my 4 year old who wanted to jump in every hole. Overall they were a wonderful crew. I knew from the plans that the work would be fairly destructive to surrounding yard and interior floor. As we have a series of interior projects (flooring, kitchen remodel, etc.) slated we gave the crew a bit of free reign in their work; The slab lift opened up some old patches, the void fill popped a few portions of our laminate floor, and a door got jammed as it was originally hung when the slab was sinking. Interior projects are not within Eaglift's scope so if you do not plan on doing an interior remodel I would engage in alternate plans for void fill. However as we are basically remodeling from the bottom up, the damage, while inconvenient, is not a deal breaker. There was dust left after drilling for injection ports and some interior concrete cutting when the plastic they used to isolate the area mistakenly ripped. The did their best to clean up afterwards but we still have some areas where we are finding dust. Billing was easy and their accounting was very accommodating when we wanted to split up payments. We had some discrepancies on some change order paperwork but that was easily dealt with over email and correct balance was invoiced. As with any contractor, you are best served by being informed. Ask what the crew is planning for the day, check against your plans, and be present for any inspections, or walk throughs. Eaglelift came through efficiently once work started. They did the job well and were consummate professionals. I would definitely recommend that you include them in your quotes for slab and foundation work for either commercial or residential projects. The delay was a huge drain on our schedule which keeps them from getting 5 stars, but that was likely an uncommon occurrence. I would recommend talking to their scheduler as well as their project engineer to get a realistic start date. They will know what their field crews are up to far better than someone coming in to provide initial quotes or draw up plans.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! If I could…read moregive zero stars I would. I live in a new community and the person came soliciting to my house and because I wanted a backyard done I allowed them to come in and give me a quote. They quoted me just under $13,000 for roughly 4 to 500 ft.² of work in the backyard. I ended up with pavers and turf and a couple small areas of mulch. I was hesitant to agree to the 13,000 because I felt like it was pretty pricey for the small amount of work that needed to be done the 13,000 was after the representative Koraline I think was her name brought it down from about 15 or 16,000 she kept going outside to make "phone calls" and qualify me for a "program" that would knock off thousands of dollars off the price. She told me everything would be done fast and once everything was complete, I would have a lifetime warranty. I was excited being it's my first house and a brand new backyard. I trusted her and her assistant who came later when they were in my home. They asked to use my phone to look them up on Google and they gave themselves a five star Google review from my phone and asked me to then write a review at the time. My Google account wasn't working so luckily they didn't get a five star review for me. At one point I was digging in one of the mulch areas and I came across pavers that were buried where there was no pavers just random pavers buried throughout the mulch area. I called them and told them hey why did they do this? Is there a reason or should I leave them? No one knew what I was talking about so I ended up leaving them buried. At one point I wanted the mulch gone so I decided to remove it and come to find out there was no weed barrier placed prior to them putting the mulch down. I called about this and they gave me such a hassle to come and put pieces of weed barrier down eventually someone did come out and put it down. After the job was complete. I told them that my AC condenser unit was leaning when it wasn't leaning before they did the pavers I bought a Level and I sent them pictures that it wasn't Level anymore and they still gave me a very hard time to come and fix the AC. It took about two weeks for them to come out and fix it. Fast-forward a year and three months later there's grass and weeds coming up through the pavers. I just called them and they told me there is no lifetime warranty. There is only a one year warranty and they can send somebody out to take a look and give me a quote to replace everything. I told the customer service agent I don't want to quote to replace it. I want somebody to come out and fix it because why would I pay someone to replace it when you should've done it correct in the first place I'm looking through my contract and it says install weed barrier on approximately 220 ft.² which very clearly they didn't because now I have weeds and grass coming up through the pavers. The customer service agent said if there was an issue I should have called within the year #Warranty I told her I don't control when weeds and grass decide to grow, but I do know that very obviously the weed barrier isn't on. The customer service agent told me there was nothing more they could do but send someone out to "take a look". You'd think that as much money as I paid for this they'd have better customer service or most importantly better quality of work, but they don't. I will never recommend this company and I will never willingly pay them for work ever again. By far the worst experience I've ever had and the worst company I've ever dealt with.
