I recieved four estimates for my sinking foundation, several from the popular companies that advertise regularly. King Piers was not only competitive but very realistic about how to solve my problems. The owner came out and provided a quick and easy estimate. I am very glad I went with King Piers. I have a home in south Johnson County. They were able to pier my foundation, fill in the cracks with epoxy, fix cracks in my brick exterior and drywall interior as well as fixing a leaky window well in the basement. Enrique was awesome to work with and has my total trust. Very hard working crew. Thank you for fixing my home, that is a lot of stress relieved. read more

We had two estimates done and really only went with King Piers because we were legitimately afraid of our bathroom falling through the floor of our 100 year old home and the other company had a COVID outbreak so the schedule was wrecked. King Piers was able to get us on their schedule within a week. King Piers was more expensive and I didn't feel as comfortable with the man who did the estimate, however, the guy who physically did the work was kind and knowledgeable. My husband spoke with him multiple times throughout the process and said he seemed really experienced and confident but he wasn't arrogant. There was a miscommunication on our end, I misunderstood the scope of work. I was out of town and having to FaceTime in to see what was happening. As soon as my husband even dared to question the process the owners son got really annoyed, rude and, somewhat aggressive. As soon as he deemed us a potential problem he didn't listen to what we were saying and just kept repeating himself "Did you read the estimate? Do you want me to call my dad?" So...take that for what you will. They started very loud work very early, we had multiple complaints from neighbors frustrated that the concrete was being dug/drilled so early. The posts are seemingly solid, our floor is level, and the addition to the back of our home that was sliding is seemingly secure. Though they were more expensive than the other estimate, I didn't feel that the price was outrageous. Did they technically get the job done? Yep. Would I recommend them? Maybe? read more

We are rebuilding a 120 year-old bungalow. Turns out the brick porch pillars were set shallow and without any foundations. Thus these pillars were tilting significantly. King Piers excavated beside each pillar. They jacked each pillar straight and then installed a concrete foundation. After a year, the pillars are now showing no signs of shifting or tilting. We're very pleased. Also, they installed an additional support post in our basement for nominal cost. All in all, they were fast and charged appropriately. Good company. read more

Jim King, Matt King and their teams were very professional from the initial inspection throughout the project. The pricing was reasonable for the work to be completed. We were also directed to a secure finance company so no concern of being scammed. The timetable (one week) of this project was surprisingly good and coincided with our work schedules. Even with the days of rain near the end they were able to remain on schedule. Every detail of the contract was covered and some. Never before felt comfortable that my basement wasn't going to collapse on me or be accessible. The clean up was beyond expected. Wish they did more than foundation repair. read more

Mine was a relatively small project. It consisted of sealing interior and exterior cracks in the foundation, some brick tuck pointing, and leveling a patio column. I was pleased with the completion of the work. read more

We hired King Piers in February 2015 to correct foundation issues we were having in our Lee's Summit home. Jim came out and laid out a pretty comprehensive (and expensive) plan to correct all the issues. He reviewed the 25 year warranty and assured us we would not have any ongoing issues. The work took approximately 7 days. The crew that came out were very careful to try and not disturb us and keep things as clean as possible. When it was completed everything seemed to be fine and back level. This is where the promises and customer service starts to fall apart. The first time we had to contact Jim it was due to the cracks in the basement walls not being covered.He came out to see the walls and look at the work. He was semi-surprised at the change in his original design the supervisor had made. The supervisor had not put in the number of piers he would have. He didn't think it would be an issue and had his crew come out and acrylic the walls. That was done at no charge since it was supposed to have been done at the time of the repair. Fast forward to May 2019 and we discovered there were additional foundation cracks and new ones had developed. Additionally, the family room floor (under the carpet which is a concrete slab) had cracked and was uneven again. I called King Piers (now Matt is running the business rather than Jim) and spoke with Matt who said he would send his Dad (Jim) out to look at it. Jim came out and agreed that something had changed but could not tell if a pier had failed or if something else was going on. He was going to have Matt send out a crew to look. That did not happen. Over the next year (until this month) my son attempted to get King Piers out to look at the damage. They didn't come and continued to promise "we'll get someone over to look at it". As you would suspect given this review, this did not happen. Finally, I called and told Matt this had gone on long enough and it needs to be resolved. He promised to get someone over to look at it but my son would need to roll back the carpet. He sent his crew over and they looked at the floor stating piers had not failed and the repair required re-pouring the concrete under the family room floor. Matt then contacted my son and let him know there were two options to consider: 1. Re-pour and level a portion of the concrete floor in the family room. 2. Install and additional pier and re-pour the concrete floor. He told my son he would call me the next day to review the options with me. Both options are not covered under the warranty even though the damage has occurred well within the 25 year warranty and the original design by Jim was not followed. So now they are proposing another expensive option to "repair" and permanently fix the issues we are having. This is a long review but I think it is important to share what we have experienced over the period since March 2015 to the present. How they present the work they do and the support you will receive is very different than reality. The story is ongoing and has not been resolved as of this writing. At this point I would not recommend using them for your repairs until they get their after-the-work act together. I may use them for the repairs they are recommending or I may use someone else. I am still waiting to hear from Matt. Just as the saga has gone over the last 5 years, callbacks (other than selling) are hit and miss proposition. If they come around and do the right thing this review could be updated to maybe a 3 star but that would be the highest I would go based on this has been handled thus far. read more

I do not recommend this company at all! It took them 38 days to complete a job - they only showed up to work 8 of those days. The crew worked hard but the management were horrible to work with. Different story every day - hostile and defensively angry. Workmanship was poor - job was horribly managed. End result is barely acceptable. Then demanded pay the second they were done. Do yourself a favor and call someone else! The 1 star is for the poor crew that worked their butts off for these poor managers. I feel bad for them. read more

If you want an honest opinion, call these guys. I am a realtor and I recommend them to all of my clients. They won't make it a bigger deal than it actually is just to get more money from you. Heck- I've even had them help out clients that had very minor issues. Thank goodness I can rely on these guys when I need them. read more

We had a few cracks to fill that required them to dig holes. Work was done very well and completely solved our issue. We did have an issue during the job, but they made sure it was corrected quickly. The owner called me personally to make sure it got taken care of. Price was also very competitive. They also level a window well and added gravel to it for free! read more

Excellent service, very knowledgeable and made great recommendations without trying to up sell on things I didn't need.

King Piers is the best at what they do! We were having serious basement water issues and tried doing the fix ourselves until we realized it was a much bigger problem. During the Spring this year other companies couldn't even get a person to come give us a quote for over a month. I called the owner of King Piers and he came out 2 days later to give us a quote! How awesome is that? Saved us money AND we feel confident that we won't have anymore problems. Even with all the jobs they do, you still feel important. Great communication and lovely people to work with. I did get a 2nd opinion after my quote and the 2nd opinion couldn't even come close to King Piers! Thank you AA++ read more

Matt King fixed our basement wall cracks beautifully! When there was a small issue afterwards, he came out and corrected it for free. He's a true professional! read more

Wish there were 10 stars for rating this company! After we tried 2 other solutions to stop water from getting into our basement, they came to assess our problem and knew exactly what to do. We have had 3 very severe rains since they came to our rescue, and absolutely no more water!! We wish we would have called them first. They communicated regularly for the appointments we needed and were right on time. And wow, their quote came in lower than their estimate. How wonderful was that! Jim, Matt & Lucy you are top notch and are the example for how business should be done! We will be sure to recommend you at every opportunity! Thank you so very much. Carolyn & Kim K. read more

Mr King made promises that were not in his contract. Our basement leaks just as it did before. The basement walls leak where King Piers made repairs. One leak comes out from behind an I beam King Piers installed. read more

I can't say I would recommend. Regretfully I had to arrange appointments with them in order to finish their work and hound them a bit. I had to call the supervisor out, since the house/job wasn't level to what they claimed. They left mounds of dirt around the exterior. The only positive is that the price was the same as originally claimed. When they "over-jacked" the foundation, they caused more cracks than what were originally there. The epoxy that they used on the cracks for the garage floor stayed "tacky" for weeks" I think if they would have gotten it performed as originally planned in the summer, some of these issues may not have happened. read more

We received an estimate for $1,000 but was told it would normally be $2,000. I asked if they could could go ahead and write the estimate for $2,000 because we were in the process of purchasing the home and trying to negotiate the price down. There were a lot of issues that had to be taken care of and the sellers did not want to come down in price, I figured this would help. I was assured we would only be charged $1,000 but in the end we were charged $2,000. Probably my fault for not getting it in writing. We asked them also about replacing some concrete right by our garage, how much it would cost and they said they would take care of it for "free" but wouldn't be able to do it right away. After a couple months I followed up, they were still too busy, it would be awhile longer. Followed up again, he said it will be a month out, never came. Other than that, the work they did do was fine. read more

I had a crack in my foundation and also had a one time incident of some moisture coming through a seam in the concrete (from a broken pipe outside connected to the sump pump). Jim King came out and told me what type of repair/fix was needed. I also got another estimate from another company. The other company, whose commercials I see on TV, sent out a guy who had been with the company 2 months and the guy told me I needed thousands of dollars in intrusive repairs that would forever change the look of my basement, not to mention creating a financial hardship. He kept trying to make things seem worse than what they were - said I needed some expensive repair to "wick away" the water coming in the seam (even though I told him it was a one time occurrence due to the broken pipe, which caused a lot of water to empty out by the foundation), and said my house foundation was definitely moving and I needed these expensive repairs. I called Jim King back and told him what the other company had said, and he came out again to look at the foundation. I felt he was very honest with me. Jim said that he couldn't promise me that I won't some day need more structural support/repairs, but I don't need it now. If and when I need something more, he can help me with that repair. They fixed the crack and seam, and I haven't had any more issues. Jim King is an honest guy, looking out for people and his son and employees are very nice and did a great job. Integrity and quality and reasonably priced. Great to work with. read more
