John Collins came out today and recommended installing a root barrier to protect the foundation on my house. His recommendation will save me thousands of dollars in unnecessary work recommend by other companies. Thanks John!! read more

Olshan did a great job on my foundation work in a timely manor. Work was excellent workers were professional. The only concern I have is that they dug up my bush and put it back and now it is dead. They also used my electricity for their equipment which left me with an outrages electric bill. I ask would they be giving me a credit for my bill and was told no. Foundation work is not cheap and for them to use my electricity to operate their jackhammers and microwaves for eating their lunch on me that I am paying for is ridiculous. Not to mention they kill two of my plants with no replacement. So this is why I am giving them 2 stars. If you use them be sure that they bring a generator to operate their equipment and if they have to dig up your plants make sure they replace them with new ones. Because the one that dig up will not and replace will not live. read more

I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication from Olshan. It has been approximately three weeks since my May 28th inspection with technician Hector, and I've gone nearly two weeks without an update. Over the two weeks, I've sent three unanswered text messages, left several voicemails, and called the office multiple times. I was told twice I would receive a return call with an update, but neither call came. I understand repair plans can take time, but repeatedly promising updates and failing to follow through is extremely unprofessional--especially given the serious foundation and moisture concerns identified during my visit. I expected much better communication and accountability from Olshan. read more

Olshan Foundation Repair - Unanswered messages sent to technician - Foundation Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had appointment with Olshan to check out foundation. After Tech was finished he said he would email me the results along with quotes for foundation monitoring and for a foundation watering system. Never heard from him, even after contacting Olshan several times to ask where my quotes were. If they're this unconcerned about people who are actually trying to give them business, I'd hate to see how little they care about people after they pay them. read more

Hilda's crew from Olshan did a fantastic job to repair my foundations issues. All of the crew members were very professional and courteous. Thanks for attention to detail by cleaning up afterwards. read more

Olshan Foundation Repair - Foundation Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Did fast work and good cleanup but when they leave the job good luck on getting them back. Found where they left a problem and 4 calls over 3 months and still haven't had a visit to show the problem to. Did receive one call back but he said that is another department and he will pass that on. 1 month later still a no show. I would not recommend Olshan as warranty work is not in they name, including writing a review on there web page. read more

I called for a quote regarding some separation of my garage from the house. They said it was a minor issue and did not need any repairs but they recommended a root barrier in front of my house to prevent the roots from my tree to interfere with my foundation. I schedule a date for the installation, but for some reason they missed it or failed to show up. I called to reschedule and they were able to finish the job within a few hours. read more

*Posting on July 14th* I secured Olshan to come to our property on the afternoon of July 10th. No one showed up to our property to provide an estimate. I looked back through my email (Received on 7/3) to confirm I had the date and time correct and I did. I did not received any kind of communication that they were no longer able to come out nor has anyone reached out to try and reschedule or even apologize. read more

Excellent experience from the initial estimate, the delivery of the work, communication, and clean up. John was our sales rep. He was very thorough and explained everything. More importantly his repair solution was well planned. The service team was also excellent. We reviewed the repair solution and they got to work immediately. When the work was done the clean up was exceptional. We could not be more pleased with there work and the value we received. read more

I had a metal storage building whose foundation had dropped in one corner 2 inches due to a large tree. The crew came out to my place in Crosby and in one day had restored my foundation to a level condition. When they left there was no indication they were ever there. It's not cheap but a lot cheaper than losing your structure. read more

Alvaro, Gerson, Kelvin, Nery, Mainor, and Gil did an excellent job on my house. 1 day, kept everything clean and very respectful of property and time! Rory did the initial inspection and did a wonderful job giving a quote and making sure everything went smooth! read more

The crown jewel in our commercial property portfolio is a former Fire Station built in the 1940s. The building characteristics that give it its retained charm also make it challenging to maintain. After a three year long troubleshooting process involving multiple trade professionals and a half-dozen foundation companies failing to yield a permanent solution or at least an accurate diagnostic for our problems, I asked Paul Howland if he would come look at one of my buildings. I knew him socially and from his truck that he worked for Olshan. His caveat that he won't be the cheapest was reassuring more than off-putting. We want best value, not best price, but above all wanted to understand what was causing our many issues there and how to fix them. His site visit with my building manager and the tenant representative was both personable and professional. His ability to take complex structural elements and explain them in an easy to understand way that leaves you feeling empowered rather than demeaned or undereducated is a fantastic quality in a sales professional. At the end of our meeting, he had earned our trust and given us new hope we had a potential path to permanent solutions. I found the bid to be thoughtfully prepared, comprehensive and informative, and while in the higher end of the range we anticipated based on previous work there and other foundation work across our portfolio of properties, it has been worth every dollar spent. Without question. The supportive infrastructure at Olshan kept us timely and thoroughly informed. They prepared us, so that we could prepare the tenant, for the full scope of work and completed it on schedule and within the given window, even when a necessary change order arose within our project. They keep the site clean and presentable at all times, and went so far as to replant a shrub in a bucket to keep it healthy while they completed the job and then replanted it at completion. They kept us informed throughout and answered the few questions I had thoroughly and with good information that fit what I had googled myself previously. As a building owner, I could not ask for more than: Accurate and thorough bid and project timeline Professional and personal attention from every person we interacted with throughout the organization, to the professionals in the actual holes to the white hats/project leaders. Respect for our time, property, and dollar. Peace of mind a successful outcome matters to Olshan as much as it does to me. I better understand today why the brand and its people have the reputation they do. That is worth whatever premium they require over their competitors because it will earn out exponentially. We wanted to recognize everyone who worked on our project, and here is the list we were given. My thanks to all of you. You represented yourselves and Olshan with excellence at every step. Paul H.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the recent hiring process I experienced with your company. After a phone call, a ride-along, and two Zoom meetings, I was told to wait two weeks due to your team's vacation. It has now been over three weeks, and I have been completely ghosted. During this period, my current employer found out about my job search, which has resulted in them pushing me out. I had high hopes for joining a company that prides itself on customer service and dedication, but it seems this only applies to paying customers. My entire family was excited about this opportunity, and now I am left embarrassed and in the difficult position of finding another job. I wish I hadn't been strung along and misled. Finally, I talked to Chris and was told the company went in another direction. I understand that decisions like this happen, but at the very least, candidates should be notified promptly instead of being left waiting for weeks. This experience has been far from professional. read more

Olshan failed to correct the areas they were hired to repair and refuse to take responsibility for the damages they caused in the process. The company advertises professional technicians in their TV commercial but I was sent a sub-contractor. I even asked in advance when requesting a quote and I was told that they do not use sub-contractors. Olshan repeatedly sent a representative to my home that argued his point with me instead of listening and trying to help. I do not recommend Olshan Foundation Repair Co. of Houston, consumer beware! read more

I have had an appointment for over 3 weeks for Jason Everitt to come out on 12/24/24 at 11 AM to check my foundation. NO SHOW/NO CALL! I called and spoke with a clueless gal that placed me on hold for over 8 minutes to find out NOTHING. The receptionist said she tried calling Jason Everitt and his manager to find out what happened with his no call/show. The gal assured me that either Jason Everitt or his supervisor would call me back shortly even though she didn't reach either via phone. Thank you so very much for taking an entire day of pay away from me on Christmas eve. Please be aware that this company could care less about you or your schedule as they only care about YOUR MONEY. If they can't be bothered to show up for the estimate appointment, what assurance do we have that they will show up to preform the foundation repair let alone the warranty work. CALL ANOTHER COMPANY that is REPUTABLE and have them do the work for you. read more

We had to have a corner pop repaired in order to list our house as part of a corporate relocation. I called Melissa and quickly had an appointment scheduled for the following day for a quote but also was able to email her a picture and I heard from Mike B. within an hour with a reasonable proposal to correct the issue. I called Melissa again and had an appointment scheduled quickly. However, the date was later than when we were hoping to list our house and within 5 minutes of hanging up with her, she called back and said a crew finished a different job early and could come by that afternoon. The crew arrived and quickly completed the work. Thanks to Mike B., Melissa, Angel and Roland for getting everything taken care of so quickly. read more

Olshan installed French drains and two sump pumps. $6578.75 the water comes into my house. When it rains hard it's like 5 gallons of water. They have come out three times to look at the problem but they have done nothing to fix the issue. I had to sign another contract with them for them to come on my property to install another drain and downspout but they haven't made arrangements to come back to fix the problem. Just wanted to share my experience with Olshan to perhaps save someone else from the same problem No star rating read more

As a homeowner, termites and foundation repair are two things you really wish you didn't have to face. But, there you are. When Paul of Olshan told us, "The job is straightforward, we do it every day and you'll never know we were here," I was skeptical. No longer! Olshan completed our foundation stabilization a day ahead of schedule and restored the yard to its original condition; every rock, every shrub. The crew worked from dawn to dusk with a minimum of disruption. They had the skill, experience and equipment to do the job. Armando Gomez supervised the leveling operation with skill and confidence like a conductor with an orchestra. Although I was skeptical, no longer after a pesky door that has been sticking for years opened with ease. Great company, great people, great process. Thank you, Olshan. read more

Dave Klotzbuecher came out to my house to give me a few quotes and he was beyond professional and knowledgeable. He was friendly and took his time to explain things and make sure I got what I wanted. He actually cared and listened. I definitely recommend him! read more

The Olshan team did a great job. Gabriel, Gerardo, Noe, Machado, Candelario, and Alex did amazing work and were very professional. From the initial assessment they were extremely honest and didn't try to upsell me. I needed 5 foundation piers in the northwest corner of my house. I had a concrete patio and they provided an option to dig the piers from inside if I didn't want them cutting through the patio. I went with the outside digging since my basement was finished and I couldn't find the same tile. The team did a great job cleaning up and patching my patio. Through the entire process they said I could watch if I wanted, and provided frequent updates on their progress. I am 100% satisfied with the job they did. All of my doors close with ease now. I would recommend Olshan to anyone needing foundation work. read more

5 stars Mr. Don came out to check my home. I wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues. Received good news. He provided Excellent customer service, friendly and nice . Will call you guys again if needed... read more

After seeing several cracks around my home (inside and out) I became concerned about the foundation. I called Olshan to come take a look -- they sent Don out. He was so knowledgable, kind, and professional. He was also available a few hours early, which was very convenient for me. Don checked things out and assured me the foundation is in good shape, the cracks are just due to normal settling. If I ever have a concern in the future, they're the first company I'll call because they've established my trust. read more

Olshan was recommended for my foundation issues. I was told in advance that they are not cheap. After inspection and estimate review, I learned that due to top notch and industry patents, Olshan is best in class. Tracy Drain explained everything on proposal and answered all my questions. Give them a call and have your free inspection and estimate. read more

I called Olshan Foundation to come out and examine an area that I believed to be a foundation issue. The company sent Joseph Bradley. Olshan has been in business many decades and it's the only company I would trust with such a major repair. Joseph examined the area as well as the foundation that he was able to see. Joseph provided expert information about foundations. He was honest and knowledgeable; and, he did not try to sell services that weren't needed. I appreciate and can recommend a company that does not try to take advantage of your lack of knowledge on a subject. He did offer some preventative services for my consideration. If I do have a problem in the future, I would call Olshan again. read more

Paul H was professional and amazing. I was super stressed, as we were selling our home and needed estimates for a repair. Paul was kind and responded quickly to all my questions and concerns and helped me to understand all issues. He responded and texted me, as well. Really great service! Thank you Paul. I will use them again if I have any further issues and highly recommend Paul and Oshan. read more

Called to have Olshan come out to check if there has been any foundaton damage due to a neighbor's leaking pipes that run along side of my home. The woman that answered the call seemed to be put out by even having to take the call and talk with me. She was distracted and wasn't paying attention to the call, missing several of the facts and reasons for my call. Eventually, decided that if this is the quality of initial contact, this would not be the company for me. Unfortunately, it seems like an example of a local office getting by on a large company's reputation and long history of quality service. read more

We called Olshan to give us a price on possible foundation repair. Dave came out as agreed on our appointment and spent a great deal of time getting measurements and outline of the home as well as the additional space we added on a few years ago. He gave us an outline of the problem areas and some options to consider. All very professionally done. If your looking for a good and fair foundation company with a good reputation, Olshan is highly recommend ! read more

Olshan was terrific! Quality job onsite, friendly and helpful front office, and plumbing and foundation repair/leveling was successful! They have records of all work done on the house, and they wormed with me on the price. They did 3 bug jobs in a 2 week span, snd their supervisors kept me in the loop. read more

The company is very professional and punctual. The estimate was done quickly and accurately. The pricing and products are the beat in the industry. read more

We called Olshan to come give us an estimate for foundation repairs. John came by and inspected our home thoroughly. He explained everything step by step, and informed us that we didn't need foundation work done at this time. He provided us with what to look for down the road that may signal us needing to have them back out to reinspect, but that our home's foundation was in good shape at this time. I really appreciate the honesty, as that is not something you find as often when calling out contractors. I feel that a lot of foundation companies would have just gave us a bid and performed unnecessary work just to take our money. Based off our experience with John, I would highly recommend giving Olshan a call. read more

Olshan Foundation Repair was prompt, professional, and friendly. Raul and his crew were a great bunch. They finished the job in a timely manner and when finished, they restored ground to original condition and cleaned up around the break-out. Fantastic company. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Would definitely recommend this company. Very prompt and professional. I received reminders about my appointment, information (name and photo) of the representative that was coming to my home, and a full and comprehensive summary of the appointment and what would be done throughout the inspection. The representative (Shannon G.) was polite, thorough, and informative. Great customer experience. read more

They came out and looked at the concrete drive I wanted leveled but never sent the promised quote and never followed up

I had foundation work by Olshan in2015. I thought I had a lifetime warranty. When I called to have an evaluation in 2022, I was told that they wouldn't be available to look at the problem for 3 MONTHS. That is unacceptable. Warranty is useless. Eric S. read more

Highly recommended.  Our tract house slab was laid in 1977, and the underlying Texas gumbo (clay) settled for years without remediation.  So we had cracking in the chimney, walls, and floors and misaligned doors until we finally decided to choose Olshan to level the entire perimeter of the slab.  We interviewed 3-4 different reputable foundation companies, and Olshan was not the cheapest, but they impressed us with their thoroughness, longevity, and word-of-mouth reputation amongst friends and customers.  The Olshan crew (named below*) did an outstanding job.  They arrived promptly, worked diligently, and were professional in their work ethic.  We especially appreciated their attention to detail and doing the work thoroughly and correctly with exemplary clean-up.  *Note: Our Olshan crew included Bill Andrade, Santos Mainor, Santos M. Kelvin, Melchor Luis, Martin Sanchez, Francisco Aguayo, and Gilbert Gil. read more

Don arrived promptly at our scheduled time. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He did a thorough and detailed evaluation of my house. He found no issues that required foundation repair, which was contrary to what some other companies recommended. Don explained that the cause of the flooring issues that concerned us were not caused by foundation movement. He said that our flooring's level was within an acceptable range and that installing piers would create issues where none existed now. I greatly appreciate Don's honesty and forthrightness, and highly recommend him. read more

Stay as far away as possible from these crooks. They don't care about you, their customer service is horrible and the minute they are done with the work they will never come back and fix whatever they messed up in the first place. Get a real company not a bunch of crooks. There's much better than them. read more

Alex was super professional and listened to all of my question and provided solutions based on my needs. They even moved up my appointment to address my concerns. I highly recommend Olshan. read more

No homeowner wants to face foundation issues, but Olshan made it as painless as it could be. Don Ethridge came to our home to make the assessment by taking readings from all over the house and showed us the areas that were sinking. Then they were able to quickly schedule our repairs. The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly from early morning until late in the afternoon enduring the heat and humidity day after day. The repairs were flawless and since the foundation was raised all at the same time no further cracking damage occurred during the repair process. After the repairs were completed, the crew cleaned up so well that we hardly knew they had been here. Olshan guarantees their repairs for life and that guarantee is transferable should we sell our home. Thank you Olshan for your professional services. L Evans read more
