Earlier this year I had an engineer come out and run a report on our foundation for our home in Santa Clara. The vendor that did the report did a great job, and we started looking for contractors to perform the necessary repairs. We eventually decided to go with Foundation Solutions. Jordan came out and gave us way more information than anyone else, very professional and did it around our availability. Many other vendors kept saying once the work was done they wouldn't warranty it or the warranty was very short. Jordan's team was very respectful, told me exactly what they were doing, and didn't BS me. I owned a older house and they told me exactly what problems they were encountering and what they were doing to resolve them. Eventually we couldn't get it perfectly leveled, but it was very close and they explained it all to me, as well as showed me. Jordan even came in to confirm everything. A little over 6 months later, we've had no further issues and we're getting ready to sell our house. I made the mistake of lending the foundation paperwork to an architect I was going to hire, and they completely disappeared, so now I need that paperwork for the next owner. I contacted Jordan again and he is getting me everything he can despite the job being completed over 6 months earlier. While I believe Jordan is the powerhouse behind Foundation Solutions, I still had a great experience with his workers. Thanks again for all your help! read more

I got connected with Jordan and he asked me details on why I needed someone to take a look at our home. He was so honest about why he may or may not be the right fit given the details I provided. He referred me to another company that may be a better fit since it wasn't foundation issues. I highly recommend Jordan and this team for a trustworthy evaluation! read more

I would definitely recommend Foundation Solutions. Jordan came out right away to bid on the job to jack up the foundation of our house in San Jose. He was very professional, offered a very fair cost estimate, and took care of all of the administrative work, including all permitting requirements. Jordan's crew were very efficient, skilled and personable. They showed up on time each day, and finished the job quickly, using quality Ram Jack products. They cleaned up the job site after each day of work, and at completion, left it cleaner then when they started. Great job, all the way around! read more

Jordan was prompt in coming and checking the elevation levels and giving us options on how to deal with the foundation issues that we had. After agreement on the best option he gave us an estimate and had the job done at slightly less than the original estimate. The job was done very nicely and exceeded our expectations. His crew comprised of Kyle, Jason, Andrew, Americo, Chris, Oscar and Brandon with their respective responsibilities in the different aspects of their jobs.They all are very hardworking, dedicated, honest, and very well mannered and trustworthy. Inspite of the weather being extremely hot and harsh they kept going with a smile and were very forthcoming whenever we had any questions. Best crew that anybody that can get on a project as important and delicate as the foundation of a home where a small error can be costly. Jordan has got the best team for the job. We were so happy with the job that we are getting our backyard and frontyard makeover job being done by a contractor that Americo had suggested to us on knowing that we were planning it next and so far were are very happy with that ongoing project also. Again, we want to reiterate that if somebody is looking for help in Foundation work then FOUNDATION SOLUTIONS is the best company for the job at a very good and competitive price and good quality work. read more

These people are awesome, over several months I spoke with Kyle about what needed to be done to my moms home . He came out in a sound and timely manner and created the proposal, his 2 workers came out and were very professional about all the aspects of the repair while keeping safety at a high level... our family is extremely grateful and couldn't be more satisfied with all the people at Foundation solutions , thank you all for your hard work...

Our 75-year old house in Palo Alto sits on adobe soil that expands and contracts according to the season. Over time this resulted in serious damage to the foundation. After reviewing a number of proposals, we opted for a strategy proposed by Jordan Blasingame at Foundation Solutions. This was about 7 years ago, and it has worked brilliantly. More recently, we experienced another problem related to soil conditions. The Foundations team, led by Myron Elder, diagnosed the situation, proposed a strategy, and made the repairs. The results greatly exceeded our expectations. In both cases, our experience with Foundation Solutions was over the top: they were generous with ideas and information; accurate in estimates of time and cost; honest, efficient, and thoroughly professional. As the house (and its owners!) continue to age we may experience other issues. If that happens we will not hesitate to call Foundation Solutions for help. read more

Jordan gave me alot of great information on the phone, he also reviewed an inspection report i send to him - he gave me what are the possible next steps - especially keeping budget in mind. Jordan is an honest, professional who will take the time to understand the situation and give great information so the homeowner can make the right decision. read more

I met Collin Fort from Foundation Solutions at my newly purchased house in the Almaden Valley area of San Jose. The reason I met him was because the home inspection said there were some missing posts and also crooked posts at various areas in the crawlspace leaving areas not properly supported . The home inspector recommended a foundation expert should review these conditions. Collin inspected the situation and said everything was supported and there was nothing to worry about. I thoroughly appreciated his honesty and expertise! He could have sold me a "bill of goods" and I would have fallen for it. I cannot comment or rate on any construction performed however, I highly recommend this company because of their honesty and integrity! read more

We can not say enough good things about this company They do what they say and say what they do! Professional knowledgeable reliable! We checked 4 other companies when we found out our house foundation was sinking. San Jose has an issue with this due to soil not being compacted properly. They knew right away what to do and how to do it. They kept us informed every step of the way. The result.. better then expected!! Within budget and on time! Michael ,Ryan ,king and the rest of our crew that worked on our house thank you for taking such great care of our home!! Excellent! I highly recommend them for any foundation issues or inquiries read more

I did a full remodel of my 80 year old home a few years ago, including a replacement of a main sewer line. I noticed some cracks on a corner of my exterior stucco job and was concerned about possible foundation issues. I decided I needed a professional opinion and after reading Yelp reviews, I called Foundation Solutions. Collin came out (called to confirm the day before, which was a Sunday and arrived early for our appointment.) He did a thorough inspection, looking at all problem areas, checked my crawl space as well, and was able to give me an honest assessment and education on natural settling versus foundational issues. I would trust this him and this company completely and would strongly recommend them to anyone who is concerned about foundation or structural issues. I received nothing but good news, but even better, I now have a company that I could trust to call in the future if things changed. read more

Ever since discovering cracks on interior and exterior walls, I was distraught, to say the least. My HOA was extremely slow, so out of desperation, I messaged Foundation Solutions on Yelp. Tina called me within two minutes and set up an appointment as early as she could. One week later, she called again to offer a new time after someone had cancelled. On both occasions, Tina was very kind and efficient over the phone. I was so thankful. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Collin. He arrived on time, asked me a few questions, checked some cracks, and quickly gave me his general assessment. Then, he proceeded to do a very thorough inspection around the house, took measurements, looked at the crawl space to confirm the type of foundation we have, then came inside to measure floor elevations. After almost one hour of work, he gave me a very detailed report of his findings, as well as several options for repair. He patiently answered all my questions and kept asking if I had more questions. Since my husband is currently out of the country, Collin even offered to answer questions via email if my husband has any questions. Seeing how stressed out I was, Collin kindly assured me several times that although some areas do need repair, there is no immediate danger and I can breathe! He also gave me advice on how to avoid excessive water during raining season. Overall, Collin is very honest, caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. I greatly appreciate his kindness and professionalism. I absolutely recommend Foundation Solutions to anyone. In fact, I've already sent Collin's contact info to several friends who might need foundation work in their old homes. Thank you Collin and Tina! read more

We had Colin inspect our home recently. He is very patient and honest. Colin said our foundation is good and provided suggestions on how we can improve our drainage system to protect the home. read more

My old home had cracks in various places so I called Foundation Solutions based on all the great reviews. Colin came over and performed a thorough inspection inside and outside of the house. He also used a leveling device to measure the flooring in all the rooms. Throughout the inspection he pointed out the various cracks in the walls and assured they weren't due to foundation issues. He never once tried to upsell me any costly services and instead recommended cheap solutions to prevent any damage to the foundation (e.g. divert gutter water away from the foundation). If I ever need to repair foundation issues, I would be more than happy to hire them. read more

I remember looking at the ceiling cracks and jammed doors in my house many months ago and feeling that the stress ezcema the house seemed to be experiencing was spreading to me and my family! Looking for a foundation repair company was the most daunting part of this whole process, since we had never dealt with foundation problems before and didn't know who to turn to, who to trust. We invited inspectors from Treeium, Eagle Lift, Foundation Solutions, and Bay Area Underpinning to assess our home and provide estimates. Ultimately, taking projected costs, repair methods, and quality of client interaction into account, we decided to go with Foundation Solutions. And we are glad we did -- from the first phone call to the last day of the project, Jordan and Ryan and the rest of the team worked hard and delivered excellent results. The entire project took about seven days, and at the end, we came in at $1,500 under budget. I'd like to commend the team particularly on their service and efficiency. For instance -- my mom mentioned how she had asked one of the repair specialists if one of the trees near our front yard could be removed, since its dense network of roots was right next to a pier installation. Afterwards, she went on a walk with the dog, and when she returned, she found the tree gone and carted away. There was no delay or hesitation in fulfilling her request. After the project was completed, the major cracks in the walls and ceiling have come back together...and we can open our front door again! We are pleasantly surprised that the most difficult part of foundation repair was just finding the right company to work with. Thanks, Jordan and the FS team! read more

I am extremely pleased and satisfied with the work by Foundation Solutions and highly recommend them. Jordan is a great project manager. He met with me (several times) on my schedule to go over the scope of work. He kept me well informed of the progress during each phase of the project. And the proposal he wrote was spot on - they even came in under budget. He's a trustworthy, easy going guy who explains the process so it's easy to understand. He also understands the technical aspects (which my engineering father appreciated). The guys who did the work (Ryan and another gentleman), were happy to explain their progress to me and let me know what would happen next. They were very careful of my plants and bushes, and were very efficient - the project took about four days from start to finish. They were able to bring my house up to the maximum recovery possible. I watched the progress each morning and evening after work. Then, on Thursday, I came home and the yard was immaculate - the piles of dirt had been carefully filled back in the holes and the bark was replaced on top of the dirt. They even wiped off any mud that had gotten on the house and hosed off the patio. You would never know a construction project had been taking place in my yard all week! If you need foundation work, this is the way to go! read more

Our landlords found these folks. Jordan and his expert team (Ryan and Scott, if I recall correctly) came in, worked hard in the hot summer sun, and got the job done. When they ran into an unforeseen snag (an addition that wasn't properly built -- the foundation wasn't attached to the original foundation, while the walls and ceiling were), they dealt with it, I think at no additional cost, by getting a special C-channel brace machined to link the two foundations and lift them together. They were friendly, professional, and fast. They gave an estimate that they promptly updated as soon as they found that some of the steel piers would have to be longer than predicted (they predicted 30 to 40 feet, when a couple piers ended up needing to go down 75 to 80 feet deep), but the final cost came out not too much higher than their original estimate (about 20% higher, I think). They worked well with inspector, engineer, owners, and tenants (my family). Their cement finishing guy did a great job, too, filling in the patio holes -- he actually improved the slope of the patio so it now floats water away from the house rather than towards it. We were able to remain in the house while they were lifting it using their hydraulics and the sunken steel piers; it just creaked a little, the way it would during a small earthquake. Afterwards, the house is definitely more square and we're reassured that it's not likely to sink farther. We can now open windows and doors that were previously stuck closed, which is great, though it's not perfectly square. There are new gaps under the baseboards (i.e., the interior walls have lifted off the foundation in the center of the house), and wall and ceiling cracks that were patched over the years have reappeared, along with many other new ones, but these seem superficial and straightforward to patch. read more

Earliest available appointment was 40 days in the future. I went ahead and made the inspection appointment even though I had to wait about 40 days. The representative called me the day before the visit to postpone the inspection for 2 additional weeks as he was too busy with last minute emergency requests. My was urgent too but he didn't care much and sounded like satisfied that I ended up cancelingl the inspection after all. read more

I have an old house that had foundation problem for years. Recently, it got worse that I couldn't even close some of interior doors. So I asked Foundation Solutions for help. After waiting for a month, they finally come and work on my house. But their work worth all the waiting. Ryan and Sean did a great job to fix the posts in the crawl space. They not only fixed the door problem, it also make my old house much stronger. All the doors are now aligned and I no longer have squeeze noise from the floor. Thanks again to Foundation Solution for the great work. read more

I made an appointment for someone to come out and check the foundation of our house since we had some dipping and creaks in the middle part of our house. Very minor and we didn't think much about it until we had some termite inspection guy come out and told us we might have some new activity and to put plates out underneath the crawl spaces to see if there were poops on there after a month or 2. My hub went crawling around under there to check on the plates when he noticed the cement blocks holding the house in the middle didn't look like the rest of them. Needless to say, we were a little worried knowing nothing about foundation issues, settling, or cracks. Jordan showed up on time and went underneath to check things out. Luckily for us, he said everything was alright. I know he specializes in something else than what I called him for, but we definitely appreciated him coming out and helping us anyways. Excellent service! read more

I called Foundation to schedule an engineer to come out. Jordan came out, very friendly, talked with us a lot, don't push you a lot, you can enjoy your time to decide. the contractor mike also very friendly, work hard and quickly, high recommend. read more

They were very professional and gave a credible assessment of the foundation of the house. They recommended several places where minor (non-foundation) improvements could be made. I'd recommend them to others. read more

Great customer service! I had a small job that was missed by another company when we purchased in 2005. Jordon was able to fit us in between other jobs. The price was almost half of what another vendor quoted for the same work but that could be because of the small size of the job. Thanks much to Jordon and Mylan for their efforts. Can finally cross this one off my to do list. read more

Thank you to Jordan, Ryan, and Nathan! Great customer service and great work at fair pricing. I've already recommended them to a couple of friends! read more

The company is true per earlier reviews. I had requested to get my foundation inspected due to some sloping observed on the backyard. The company sent a person for (no charge) inspection and advised us that the sloping from one end to other across the house is under limits and hence not of a concern. read more

I'd give them six starts if I could. Jordan came to my home because I had settling issues and wanted to fix any foundation issues before we went ahead with a remodeling project. We walked through as I pointed out the cracks and door issues and he assured me that this was just normal settling for our area. He checked the perimeter and under the house as well and assured me that my foundation was secure and done properly. What a relief! And then, no charge! In this day and age you just don't see that kind of customer service anymore. Highly recommended. read more

Had a few sagging floorboards and was concerned it was a foundation issue. Scheduled a visit with Jordan who arrived on time and jumped under the house to take a look. He explained what he thought was happening and that it was unlikely to be a foundation issue. Great experience. read more

This company is a scam. They came out to give me an estimate. At the time, their estimate was about average compared to the three others I received. Given that this was a big job (30Kish), I had this company come back to give me an updated estimate so we could proceed to contract. But when I saw the new estimate, it was literally $20,000 higher than it had been just 19 months earlier. This company tried justifying the cost to 1.5" of additional settlement. Bogus. Because of the 5 companies I had come out in 2020, they were the only ones who claimed the additional settlement. How can 4 of 5 comapnies be wrong? Long story short, I went back and sent Foundation Solutions their old proposal from September 2018 and then the one from July 2020. Colin tried really hard to justify his numbers, but they did not make sense. Even if I assume there was some additional settlement, and we required an additional 5 piers, that did not justify a 20K difference. I do not think this company is reputable. Perhaps they are in a financial bind, or maybe they have changed their business model, but it is not good form to try and sell me the same product and similar scope of work for an additional 20K. I went with Bay Area Underpinning who also use the Ram Jack system and their price and scope of work did not change this significantly from my first estimate to the contract. Beware. read more

Jordon is honest, knowledgeable, and courteous. I have seen other Yelp reviews and decided to give him a try. He is a true 5 star keeper as advertised. read more

I called Foundation Solutions to check out the cracks that are appearing on our ceiling and walls. Collin was on time, right away he said I have no foundation problem. But he still took the time to examine my whole house with his equipment and re-affirmed that the cracks aren't foundation related. So I got the good news! This a great company with fantastic project manager. Thank you! read more

Highly recommend Collin and his service! He did an investigation on our house for about an hour. Not only carefully checked the floor and outside, but also check the crawl space. He explained the details to us very patiently. At the end, he charged us nothing. We are really appreciate his service and honesty! read more

I did not hire these guys, but I'm giving them 5 stars because they told me how to fix my floor problem WITHOUT HIRING THEM! In 15 minutes, the estimator, Jonathan, saved me $1200 over the phone when I called to schedule an appointment! These days, what kind of contractor gives honest information like that? I'm giving them 5 stars for not being greedy and helping out the everyday joe! read more

Arranged an appointment with Jordan over the phone. Colin came on the day arranged. Colin did a thorough measurement of our floors, looked around our structure. Made some very valuable observations and recommended steps of future actions that we can take. Colin never tried to push or sell us unnecessary solutions. We're very impressed by Jordan's and Colin's professionalism. Will definitely use them if or when needed. We'll highly recommend them to anyone who needs professional assessment of their home's structure or foundation. read more

Foundation Solutions repaired a small crack in the foundation of my house. Did a great job on everything from initial estimate to scheduling to getting the work done on time and explaining what was done. The estimate was a lot more reasonable than a couple of other companies. Jordan was very responsive, flexible and reasonable throughout the process. read more

Needed some advice and had Jorden come over. He came on time and was very professional. He did not want to make a quick buck and told me his service was not required. Jorden came across as an honest man. read more

We're in the middle of a floor and ceiling remodel and our contractor had concerns over cracks he's noticed in the walls near the ceiling and the floor. Jordan came over to see if our house had settlement - shifted in the level of the home foundation. We have a concrete perimeter foundation supported by adjustable metal jacks. He used a water level measurement tool - a pool of water set up on a tripod set up near the front door of our house as an arbitrary zero point. The measurement tool has a stick that functions as a level comparison tool connected by water hose to the main pool tripod. He took the stick to various points around the house. Our living room corners were around .4 inches lower than the zero point. Anything under 1 inch is normal. Our bedrooms were about .2 to .6 inches higher than the zero point, also fine. He said the areas of cracks around the ceiling/wall joists and doors/windows were pretty normal. He stepped into our crawlspace and examined some of the subflooring and said the metal jack supports looked healthy. The 2'x6' supports under our master bedroom reinforced the subflooring just fine - they were likely put in during the master bath remodel fifteen years ago, before we moved in. He mentioned the Vistapark neighborhood where we live doesn't have the best soil and due to the drought, experienced significant settling. Overall, he didn't see any critical foundation problems and recommended that no work be done at this time, unless our contractor noticed were saggy spots in the subflooring, which could then be reinforced with 2x6 cross beam in the same way the master bath subfloor had been reinforced. We also talked about the normal cracking our original cement driveway, the shorter the distance between the natural concrete dividers, the more helpful to allow natural cracking and why people choose pavers (to prevent cracking). The estimate was free and his attitude was fantastic as we had to negotiate delicate parking due to construction on the water main on our street. read more

I was having a hard time finding someone to come out and look at the ceiling cracks that kept expanding. I finally fell upon Foundation Solutions, Jordan was quick to call me back and put me in contact with Scott. Scott promptly scheduled an appt, showed up on time, listened to my concerns and explained our options and possible solutions. It's great when a company still cares and goes out of their way regardless of the size of the job. read more

After putting off calling someone for ages because I didn't know who to call I was so glad I choose Foundation Solutions! Jordon showed up exactly on schedule and was more than generous with his time, letting me know all the options and putting my mind at ease that some of the places that looked the worst were actually not a serious issue. He even showed me what to watch for in the future to decide when mitigations would be warranted. read more

Jordan just visited my home to look at the cracks that are appearing on our ceiling and walls. Promptly on time and took the time to examine and give us a clear analysis. I had already engaged a structural engineer to go into the crawl space and examine the foundation. Jordan had kept his appointment though I told him about the visit from the structural engineer and re-affirmed that the cracks aren't worry-some at the moment and he doesn't see the need to spend money on underpinning. He also shared his details to forward the report once available so he can take a look. If I have any foundation / underpinning related work, I would definitely reach out to him. read more

Foundation Solutions re-supported the sinking corner of our house with four ram jacks and replaced several posts in the crawl space. Jordan was great to work with. Thorough and patient and easy to talk to. He administered all the leg work with county permitting process and sent a great team to our house to complete the project in 3.5 days. Very happy and highly recommend them. read more

Called Foundation Solutions to provide an estimate for a foundation repair. King Gladney came out spent an hour or so measuring things. Left with a handshake saying he would get me an estimate in a few days... That never happened, it's been a month. It's one thing to start off by saying your too busy so that I don't waste my time waiting around for you, I would actually appreciate that. It's even worse to come out waste your and my time and then never even follow up with the estimate, or even a call or email saying you can't do the job. A bit unprofessional. I used yelp to find him and want people to know my experience. read more
