"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.

I asked Tar Heel to come by and make a determination to mitigate the problem. Before Colin arrived, I had a good sense of what was needed. I had an issue with a basement problem in a former house, so I was prepared for any "oversell." Oh, and my wife had over 36 years in the building industry. Colin provided a very detailed findings and options for correcting the water problem. We were both happy with the proposal and will be moving forward.

I can't say enough great things about Mason Robertson with Carolina Foundation Solutions. From the…read moremoment he arrived, he was professional, respectful, and thorough. I originally called because I noticed soft, spongy areas in my flooring, and I was afraid it might be a foundation issue. Mason took his time inspecting everything -- he looked at the flooring, went under my home (I have a crawlspace), and checked the situation carefully. What stood out the most was this: he was honest from the beginning. After checking everything, Mason told me clearly that he could not help me because my problem wasn't actually a foundation issue. He could have easily told me it was a foundation problem and charged me $10,000-$20,000 like I've been quoted before -- but he didn't. Instead, he told me the truth, explained what he believed the real issue was, pointed out a crack beneath one of the bedroom windows, and even told me who I should contact next. As a woman, I've learned the hard way that some people will take advantage and give outrageous estimates just because they think you won't know the difference. Mason did the complete opposite. He was honest, upfront, and trustworthy, and I appreciate that more than I can put into words. If you're looking for someone you can trust -- someone who will tell you the truth even if it means they don't get the job -- I highly recommend Mason Robertson and Carolina Foundation Solutions. Integrity like that is rare. Julie Heck

Technically there is no a better company to hire if you have foundation issues. Unfortunately after…read morethey install everything the customer service is very poor. Someone that never had a pump at the basement before and don't know how to work, customer service is not willing to explain more about the issue and how I could fix on my own, instead they sent a service that cost $200 for someone just press a bottom that I could do on my own. Very disappointed and I'm sure a next house foundation problem they will not be called to support.

Nonetheless, our contact person Madeleine and her crew came out to assess our foundation and cracks and some mold from the humidity in the crawlspace. In the end we went with mold remediation, a sump pump, new vapor barrier, joist lifts, and air sealing to keep out the creepy crawlies. Big ticket expense, but when compared to the competition, we went with them because of the thoroughness with the estimate interview and the willingness to answer all of our questions, they were also well-spoken of on other review sites including a popular large community message board, and the price was pretty comparable. Also, the crew was very good. My only ding would be was not putting the items in the crawlspace back in the order that it was originally, which saved space. But to add to their credit, we have one additional project that needs to be done outside of Little Corner's scope and the new company took a look at Little Corner's work and said "They did a very good job, this is how we would have done it." I think that speaks well of them as a whole. They may not be the biggest company, but they are professional, kind, and diligent about their work. Thank you, Madeleine and crew.

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.

His professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence that my crawl space continues to be well protected. I appreciate the quality of the original installation and the ongoing maintenance service. It's reassuring to know the system is being properly maintained, and I highly recommend 58 Foundations & Waterproofing to anyone looking for crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation services.
