    Foundation report/work proposal
    Bryan T.

    I have a house in escrow, and was in need of a foundation inspection. Call them since other companies have to wait and we were in a tight schedule. Had to pay via venmo for $50 deposit, and cut a check for $300 on the day of inspection. After the worker done with the inspection, was told there would be a report. Turns out their so call inspection report is nothing but a work proposal. No photos, no explanations, nothing (the guy after inspection said it looked great nothing major). It gets worse, we call another foundation company for another inspection (for 240, cheaper), gave us a great report explaining in detail what the problems were with photos, and suggested that there were serious issues in part of the foundation. Needless to say, I will not recommend this company for anyone.

    Juan and his whole team did a great job with our bathroom remodel. The crew was punctual, hard working, efficient and kept the work area clean. Juan's communication was great throughout the whole remodel, he explained any adjustments that needed to be made. We will definitely use JC Retrofit for future projects.

    Very satisfied with the 275 foot foundation replacement. Juan and Iris quickly returned my calls and texts. The Crew foreman answered what questions i asked and the Crew did excellent work .

    Julian Construction's team replaced two foundation walls that formed a corner. My problem was the…read moreold corner had cracked from top to bottom in two places, one on each of the adjacent walls, and the detached corner was beginning to sink, causing the house to slide to one side. The lack of a long tube from the gutter downspout leading away from the house was a likely culprit. How did I know? The doors around that corner were not closing. I like treating issues as they arise and I knew this problem could stand no delay. I asked for estimates from a handful of foundation companies that other homeowner friends had recommended. Julian's was the only one that had a well-documented inspection, a thorough scope of work, a fair price, and reasonable contract terms. Mayo was on top of it. She scheduled me within a week after I submitted the signed contract and deposit. The crew showed up at 7AM and the foreman spent an hour talking with me while he guided his team into action.They had to jack up the house. The foreman and I stood in the room being elevated and I could hear the creaking wood and straining nails like an old man stretching his joints to his limit (my house is 115 years old). It was scary but I felt like I was in good hands. The foreman was observing every reaction of the house and giving immediate instructions to his team. He also gave me an education on foundations and how houses slide, pointing out the the accelerating slant of the vertical wood pieces in my cripple wall. I do some much home repair myself so I ate up this education! The team worked fast. I was onsite the first and last day. On the first, they asked me a lot of questions about how much leveling I wanted (I opted to keep a slight slant or else my old doors would be jammed) and I could show them all the resources (power, water, fusebox) to help them do their job. They were really nice and had a good sense of humor even though the work was heavy and hard and the summer temps were nearing 100. Mayo had asked me to clear the space (remove plants, remove gutters, remove siding if I wanted to reuse them, protect the AC unit, so I did before they came. On the last day, I was dazzled by the new foundation walls. The floor in the house even felt better to walk on, much more solid. Julian's team offered to put the gutter and the siding back for me, making a vent hole to match the old one. This saved me so much time. Their work passed inspections. The entire process was very smooth. The crew was orderly and handled all items with care. We spoke in English and in Spanish and it was fine. I'm a native Californian so knowing some Spanish comes with the culture here. Up until this experience, I was nervous about foundation replacement but working with Julian Construction made me feel it is a manageable process, even a pleasant one. When I need further work on my foundation, I know who to call and I won't be stressed out about it anymore!

He responded immediately, was very friendly and thorough, and was super upfront in his assessment and options to fix our drainage problem in our front entryway. We had a huge problem in the previous design of our that caused the inside of the house to flood during any heavy rain. The work is of exceptional quality, and everything was clearly communicated prior to us signing anything. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience - the quality of the work, the great communication, the reasonable pricing, and the easy, convenient scheduling. The team was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they went above and beyond. We've already had a very heavy rain to test it out, and it is perfect! Highly recommend!

Eldar was easy to work with and he kept to his original estimate even though our job turned out to be a little more complicated than he anticipated. We also had a few small issues with his workers but Eldar took responsibility for everything and made sure everything was addressed. In terms of his work- he actually ended up installing 2 french drains instead of one and I'm looking forward to the first fall rain to see how it does.

But this is a rental property. There are elderly people in the home as well as people who work from home. The person texting me was apologetic. My biggest concern on communication were when fees increased or new fees needed to be paid. PFR had to order additional material which was not expected or disclosed it might be needed in the original contract. I noticed when they sent me the bill. Had I not looked over my bill in detail I would not have known about the additional cost. I spoke to the owner who apologized and gave me a discount. My last bill had an additional fee for a special inspection. Again I was not notified about this additional fee. While this special inspection possibility was disclosed no one told me it had happened. Therefore I had to scramble to get the extra $825 to pay PFR. I should have known about this charge the moment it happened so I could plan accordingly. Those were the main hiccups. Other than that the process was great. It took awhile because of unforseen material that needed to be ordered. The whole process took about 7 months. Which I suspected it would because we were dealing with LA County for permits. The work they did looks great! I am very happy with their work. Everyone was very helpful and nice when I spoke to them, apologetic for the mishaps. The tenants say all the workers were nice and respectful.
