My elderly in-laws were experiencing significant foundation problems resulting from the ground pushing their walls in and causing numerous horizontal and vertical cracking. They contacted the large/advertised foundation companies only to be given pricing that was "astonishing" high. Fearing that they were being taken advantage of, I reached out to a good friend of mine with 20+ years of Realtor experience in the city. He referred me to a structural engineer for an independent review, report and recommendation to fix the problems. Secondly, he referred me to 3 foundation repair companies that he had experience with for estimates. After receiving the estimates, we chose Olson Foundation Repair. They were not the lowest cost provider. In fact, of the 3 estimates they were higher. What set them apart was the interaction we had with John Murphy and Peggy. They were very thorough and professional. John had taken the time to listen to our questions and concerns, he read through the engineering report and gave us recommendations based on his experience. Once he submitted to us his estimate, we worked with John on some modifications without impacting quality to be more competitive with the other bids we received and he did just that, he worked with us. Once, we settled on the scope of work and estimate, John & Peggy helped get us scheduled. There was no nickel & diming or upcharging once on site. The team showed up on the date agreed and worked 3 1/2 days to finish the job, putting in a 1/2 day more than estimated in the agreement as well as a recommended additional plate/deadman without charging us additional money to make sure the job was done right! The team doing the work was very professional and the onsite foreman was very good with fielding many of my father -in- laws questions along the way. They were respectful of their home and items and left it in good order. Of course, time will tell as to the workmanship & warranty, but all in all, we highly recommend Olson Foundation based on our experience and will continue to use them in the future for any foundational issues. Thank you! read more

While in the bidding process for getting work done on my foundation, my first company severely overbid the amount of work needed to be done, making the situation sound way worse than the reality warranted. I was fearful that the repairs would be way over budget. When I got my estimate from Olson, they were honest and calmed my worries about what my house really needed to be fixed, and did not try to sell me extra that I didn't need. I am hugely appreciative of that. Their quote was literally a third of the other company's. They got the job done in a few days, and the whole process was very straightforward. Their work came with transferrable warranties that go way into the future, so I am comforted knowing that these issues will not be anyone's burden again. Time will tell how adequate the fixes are but this is a reputable company so I'm not worried. They also were insanely price competitive. They price matched anybody who would do the same job for lower as well as giving me a bargain for the epoxy I needed for the cracks. Even when they were already the cheapest overall, they price matched elements of the job that other companies would have done cheaper. Thanks Olson! read more

I just want to say we had a good experience with Olson foundation. We had 6 bids, and Olsan wasn't the cheapest but was close & explained what they were going to do and did what they said. They put in a new drain system, vaper barrier wall sheeting. Wall anchors and beams. I got more bang for the buck than anyone else was going to do. When I had questions and asked for specs on installation they sent it to me, when I had questions, they answered. The Forman kept everything clean. The crew was on point didn't mess around. They got all this done in 3 days. It was a good crew. I had one issue, but it was fixed when they put the wall anchor in. We talked about going from top of foundation to the bottom and they brought out a small plate. Next day they had a bigger plate, again they did what was needed to please the customer. I did foundation work at another home also with another contractor, but I would go with Olson again if I needed to. Their warrant y was better than anyone else also when it came to the beam and drainage system read more

After lots of research for foundation specialists in the KC metro, we settled on Olson Foundation Repair. Our job wasn't huge, with just one vertical crack that leaked occasionally after heavy rain, but we plan to finish the basement and don't want to ruin our construction with any continued leak. John came out for a consult and agreed that it was straightforward injection, but took it to the next level with an in floor drain system so we would never have to worry about it again. He was transparent and honest about the work and pricing. They aren't the cheapest but I wouldn't feel comfortable with cheap foundation work after seeing shoddy DIY jobs while we were house hunting. When it came time for the work day, they were quick, clean, and respectful of our house. I hope we never need them at our house again, but will absolutely recommend them to everyone we know. read more

Excellent experience from start to finish. I had several estimates done, and this company provided the best insight into my foundation issues and were more thorough than the others. The scheduling was quick, the front office staff was easy to work with, the communication was above and beyond, the crews were on time, polite, and respectful, and quite frankly, did a kick ass job. I will be recommending Olson to all I know who need foundation work. My home needed some piers, anchoring, and poly jacking and I couldn't be happier with the results and the pricing. read more

I hired Olson to put 5 anchors in one of my basement walls that was finished. They did an excellent job keeping the mess to a minimum inside. Besides the cuts in the sheetrock, it looked like no one had been there when they were finished. The holes they dug in the yard were perfect rectangles and they hauled away the excess soil. After I seeded the spots, it looked nothing more than a couple of spots that I was trying to reseed. Excellent job with an excellent crew. They quoted 3 days and were done in two. I highly recommend Olson. read more

We used Olson Foundation for foundation repair in a home we were in the process of selling. Luke went above and beyond in his communication and customer service and John did a phenomenal job on the work. They left zero mess in our recently refinished basement and you could barely tell any digging had been done in the front yard. Peggy, their admin, was also a pleasure to work with and was very prompt and kind. read more

Olson Foundation Repair has some great employees. George/Jorge was the main person working on my home. He was respectful to both me and my home.

The person who came to give me an estimate as well as the person on phone we're also great. read more

If I could, I'd give Olson Foundation Repair 10 stars! Although they weren't the cheapest quote I got, I went with them because John was so experienced and knowledgeable, and I'm so glad I did! They did great work, were very respectful and nice, and cleaned up after themselves well. I feel very secure in knowing that my foundation is secure for many years to come. Highly recommended!!! read more

Olson Foundation, what can I say. John came out and did my inspection. When he finished I knew this was the company I wanted to use for my Foundation repair. He was extremely professional and his demeanor was very upbeat. He explained to me what needed to be done to make my Foundation secure. John is the reason I went with this company. Thank you John. read more
