Absolute professional communication from the office, the estimator, the site lead (Jacob). All down the line a pleasant experience dealing with an unpleasant problem. Had the folks at R&R come check out a sinking structure (the previous owners installed a gorgeous and heavy kitchen that was unsupported) and they walked us through the problem, solution and documented their work along the way. Scheduling was a breeze, they even bumped us up to earlier timeframe based on availability. Glad they were there. (edited to add the team lead's name) read more

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS COMPANY!!! They are not competent. When R&R "fixed" the foundation, they just installed above-grade composite discs AS THE FOUNDATION-- which is completely against code and ENTIRELY structurally unsound. The discs are supposed to be installed below the frost line--NOT ON TOP OF THE GROUND. Also, in many places, the posts they used are not even connected to the beams. Either this company is completely incompetent and unaware of basic industry standards, or they knew and did this work anyway. Whatever you do, stay away from this company. read more

I strongly recommend this company. Unlike two other companies we got to come look at some cracking in our walls, they took a careful AND honest look. Another company put the hard sell on us for a solution that didn't even make sense; R&R explained why what we were seeing wasn't concerning and DIDN'T need work (or money!). When we looped back a few months later, they connected us with other upstanding soil specialists and structural engineers. In a business that seems full of scammers, these guys are the real deal. Thanks R&R! read more

R&R Foundation Specialists raised and stabilized my sinking basement & foundation. The foreman on my job was Diego out of R&R's Tacoma yard. Diego and his crew of Jamie and Omar were absolutely great to work with. The crew represents R&R well. They were a pleasure to have in and around our home. Diego is professional, personable, considerate and a great communicator. Diego is very knowledgeable & experienced and would advise me if he saw anything that he thought I should be aware of, or changes in the plan of attack. He would explain to me what they were doing and why they were doing it. The job was completed ahead of schedule. Amazing job! I could not be happier with the people (Diego, Jamie & Omar), the awesome work they did and the result of a level house that will not continue to settle. This work is a large financial investment, so I needed the right company. R&R Foundation Spec was the 3rd of 3 bids I received. Pricing was all in the ballpark, so it was not so much the factor. What I got for that money WAS a huge factor. Tony, who did the estimate far exceeded the other 2 companies in his comprehensive inspection of the house and what R&R would do to resolve the issue. There was no question after Tony left as to who was doing the work. During the planning stages, everyone at the main office kept me informed on the progress. The job started earlier than scheduled, finished ahead of schedule and slightly under the estimate. Other crews came on a couple days when needed and they were all very nice and knowledgeable, but kudos to my main crew. Office staff and managers who stopped by the job are all exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend R&R Foundation Specialists for your foundation work. read more

From Chris, the salesperson to Mac and his crew, everyone did a great job on my project. I would recommend them to anyone. It was not an easy job, but they worked through it, and I am very happy with the results. Thank you, Jeff D. read more

Beware of poor foam lift outcomes. They charge by the pound of foam, not whether or not your concrete is lifted - ask them. Had to take them to small claims court - Google my case and see for yourself before you sign their contract. I took them to court to generate a record for future customers, not for the money. Do your homework and consider another company. read more

I would highly recommend R&R Foundation Specialist. The following describes our experience in stabilizing our house foundation and the success we had with R&R Foundation Specialists of Everette, WA. This description spans a 12-month period ending in September 2021. The Problem Our Maple Valley, WA home sits on the edge of wetlands that surround a small neighborhood lake. Over the 20 years we have owned the home we have become increasingly concerned that our 30-year-old house was slipping into the wetlands. We suspected the floor in southeast corner of the house was lower than the rest of the house. Later, we found out our suspicions were true, the house had sunk 3 1/2 inches in that corner. This fact caused us to start contacting companies that could help us. The Search Overall, we had 4 vendors quote on stabilizing our foundation to prevent further sinking and to potentially lift it. The quotes ranged from installing 4 piers to 9 piers along the southeast corner of the house. Some quotes required us to remove a portion of our patio deck to provide clearance for the piers, others did not. The quotes ranged in cost from $11,000 to over $22,000. Also, the most expensive quote strongly recommended that we install a crawl space drainage system for and extra $6,000. In the end, we spent 12 months searching for vendor that could help us because we were receiving wildly different quotes that substantially varied in the amount of work and price. The Contract We selected vendor (not R&R Foundation Specialists) and started to review the contract we were asked to sign. Immediately we were hit with strange terms and usually wording. For example, "This proposal is based primarily upon the customer's description of the problem." No, not true. The proposal is based upon the vendor's own investigation into the problem and years of experience in solving it. We found ourselves having to explain to the vendor that (1) the proposal should be labeled as a "contract" (a binding agreement between two or more parties), (2) it should state the scope of the project (what they were going to deliver and what they were not), (3) proposal should say when the project starts and when it will end, (4) it should contain a payment schedule (what monies were due from the customer and when), and much more. After 5 revisions of the proposal/contract and one month's delay, we finally got the wording straightened out and signed the document. Cancellation 10 business days after the proposal/contract was signed and before any on-site work begun, we were notified that the project was going to cost 10% more. To have the project costs increase so much and so quickly seemed suspicious. The reason given for the increase was because a Geo-Technical report was found to be needed and it was going to cost $2,300. We pointed out to the vendor the following sentence in the proposal/contract;" Fees includes administrative costs associated with obtaining permit. Engineering Calculations, Geo-Technical report and Engineered Drawings for 6-20 Piers." Because the project cost rose so quickly after contract signing and because the reason for the increase was clearly an expense included in the quoted price, we cancelled the project. We did receive a refund of our deposit. Results After the prior bad experience, we contacted R&R Foundation Specialist or Everette, WA. They were much more knowledgeable than the other vendors. They understood what the problem was, what caused it, and how it could be solved in a reasonable fashion. They also showed us that, not only was our house sinking, but the previous home owner had tried to fix it. Immediately, we signed a contract with R&R to stabilize the foundation with 6 piers and possibly raise it. The R&R contract was for $9,000 less than the vendor we had contracted with before. We found R&R personnel to be very friendly, professional, communicated frequently, and cleaned the job site at the end of each day. They could relate to the horror stories we had with other vendors and shared our concerns about project cost overruns. When R&R found our house foundation to be twice the size they expected and twice as large as building codes would suggest, they immediately communicated the impact this would have on the total project costs. Together with R&R, we were able to work out a win-win solution for all of us. Conclusion I would highly recommend R&R Foundation Specialist. They are much more knowledgeable, professional, more reasonably priced than their competitors. R&R is willing to work with home owners to deliver foundation problem solutions that work and are appropriately priced. read more

Chris came over for my initial consultation. My house is 100 years old and I had concerns with the foundation. He was extremely professional, took the time to ask me what my intentions and concerns were, and walked me through every question that I had in detail. He provided what I believed to be a very honest assessment of repairs needed for my home and did not attempt to upsell me. Highly recommend this company, and greatly appreciated Chris' help and professionalism. read more

I was referred to R&R from a foundation inspection as a follow-up to our home (circa 1953)purchase. We had them come out for a thorough inspection, quote, and hired them on the spot. The work was exceptional and the crew was great. Highly recommended! read more

I never dreamed I would write a review. However, given my experience with R&R Foundation Specialists I wanted to be sure the next person wanting to contract with them would have feedback on the good the bad and the ugly. I contracted with R&R Foundation Specialists, LLC after receiving 3 bid proposals from other reputable well known foundation companies. After careful review I felt that R&R would be the best company to contract with. The reviews were positive and the contract proposal was well detailed and a structural engineer had provided a detail of work. Given a history in customer service my expectations were that there may be some things that would not go according to plan but that I was in good hands. What I experienced was the following: A lack of supervision for the ground crew on site performing the work for the county building inspectors. The superintendent Jim did not come out to check the work performed prior to inspection and the job did not pass inspection. I was informed it would be another week before an inspection could occur. In the meantime I had 3 construction electrical cords running through my house and a temporary fix on my water line. (The ground crew had cut through 3 electrical wires and broken the fitting on the water line to the house). Again, I kept my attitude positive, things will happen. The superintendent arrived the morning of the new inspection and almost every post area was dug again and poured again. The job passed but I am not sure why other than it was a new inspector. Issues: posts not set under beams for support (off center of beams), post shimmed with a 2 x 4 block to support a main lateral support beam for the house, 2 corner posts and 1 post to support a 25' main support at the front of the house, one preexisting post loose and not attached after lifting of the home. 25' support beam tied into rotted side support. The job site left a mess with little to no effort to clean up. The good (Jim came out and corrected almost every issue that I brought to his attention). The bad, lack of supervision, communication and the willingness to call out a change in order to fix issues. The ugly, the cost to fix the plumbing line, electrical lines, siding they ripped off and broke (Yes, it could have been removed without destruction). gravel brought in to repair the muddy mess they left behind. Not new construction. read more

R & R lifted an addition to my house near Green Lake. Prompt and friendly communication. The permitting process was quite lengthy but that was an issue with the city of Seattle. I highly recommend them. Their pricing was competitive. read more

I highly recommend R&R Foundation for any foundation needs. I did major research before working with them and got quotes from all of their competitors. I spent a year investigating and working to get the project scoped right. After all this, R&R was the vendor to go with. Their prices were competitive and they were very professional throughout the whole experience. They did things by the books and with a professional touch. We had some scares the day of our foundation pier install, as unfortunately the weather dropped to around freezing temperatures and also we realized a few of the pier locations were in risky spots (near our main water/septic exit pipe and also near our main water entry line). R&R did a very careful and precise job with no issues. Best of all, the team that came out to work was just fantastic. The lead onsite was Mike. He is both talented and fantastic at listening to the customer's needs and being communicative on solutions. He was super helpful throughout the site work and seemed to genuinely care about our home and our needs. The team he ran were all also professional and hard working. Despite digging and working through 30 degree days, they kept a pleasant face and professional demeanor. I really appreciate all their hard work. I have spoken with many foundation companies over the last couple years, some impressed me and some really did not. R&R is top on the list and recommend them for any of your needs. If you get Mike and team you are in luck, but I hear the other site team is also great too. Thanks R&R. read more

I would 100% recommend R&R Foundation Specialists! We just bought our first home and the inspection report said there were minor cracks in the foundation. Since I'm a little paranoid I decided to have someone come out to inspect. Cory was on time, friendly, polite, and very informative. He let us know that our foundation is totally fine and that we had a great house! Thank you so much guys! read more

Finding a reputable foundation company was stressful and a bit scary. So glad we went with R&R. Super professional throughout the whole process. Clear prices and scope work. Prompt, courteous and neat on site crew. Would absolutely use them again. read more

I highly recommend R&R Foundation Specialist to repair your foundation. I spent a lot of time researching my options and got four different bids, ultimately selecting R&R Foundation Specialist, and I'm so glad I did. Foundation repair seems to be a bit like the Wild West, and after talking to several different companies and observing how they assessed the foundation issues, it became apparent who knew what they were doing and who was winging it. Cory knows his stuff. As much as I hate the estimate process, I'm glad I did my due diligence. Communication was great. They kept me apprised on how the project was going- due to the soil conditions at my house, it ended up taking about twice as long as anticipated, but they kept me updated and did not charge me for the extra labor. During and after the process of lifting the house, they checked to make sure all of my concerns were addressed (I had some windows and doors that did not close properly prior to the repair), including adjusting the door latch and strike plate. Then after the job was completed and I had paid in full, the engineering company came back with additional costs not in the original quote. R&R came through on that, too- negotiating with the company and absorbing most of the cost themselves. I'm hoping I never have foundation issues again, but if I do, I know who I'm calling. read more

I wish I contacted R&R earlier. My home inspection identified a failing retaining wall along the sidewalk - the thought of collapse actually kept me up one rainy Seattle night! R&R exemplified everything a professional contractor delivers: quick quotes, honest advice, fair prices, and timely work. Cory answered all my questions during the initial quote visit and set a reasonable timeline for scheduling the work. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call the next day about a schedule opening due to an inspection delay at a project in the University District, which meant my project could fit in on a faster timeline. Cory's team, led by Mike, worked hard to finish my project a day ahead of schedule. We had one installation mishap (wrong plates - an honest mistake due to an accelerated schedule and slow-arriving/unavailable parts) and Mike phoned nearly daily to keep me updated about when they'd be able to finish the job despite the temporary fix that was perfectly adequate. Overall, R&R deserves your business. Put them on the short list if your property is sliding down a hill or if your house is sinking! read more

Thorough, efficient and friendly. Great experience with all facets of this business. Appreciate the office staff working with me to answer questions. read more

The guys that came out and did the foundation work were great. They were on time, worked hard, finished in one day, and were really nice guys. I highly recommend R&R. read more

We needed to correct, and stablize our house foundation that's more than 100 years old. The pricing that R&R provided was very competitive, and addressed our goal; not exceeding it. Also, we thought we'd had to wait for two months before they can get the with done, but when they had a cancellation called all their wait-list clients and we were able to get it completed much quicker than originally planned. The folks they sent out were professional, and courteous. read more

They ruined our home by doing an extra "pump"... popped a major beam out.. it's been a nightmare. They have refused to take responsibility for it. Just Beware.. if they mess up your house... They will not fix it. A terrible experience read more

Cory and team are great to work with! In the process of selling our home, the buyers found some issues with the foundation. Cory was able to come out quickly and perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem. He spent at least an hour with us, explained our options thoroughly, and showed us several videos explaining the processes. The work performed comes with a lifetime warranty that is transferable to our buyers. Rather than merely shoring up the foundation with footers on soil, they anchored the foundation to the bedrock. Very solid. Our foreman was Jimmy and he was outstanding. They started the job on the date they promised, finished a day early, and left our space spotless. We were expecting to have to pressure wash after they left, but Jimmy and team left it as neat and tidy. Our neighbors barely even knew they were there. We highly recommend R&R. read more

I had R&R out this summer to stabilize and slightly raise my foundation. Brandon and Justin were fast and professional. Even taking time to answer my questions along the way. Cleaned up the job site once they were done. Only way you know they were there is the peace of mind they gave me knowing that my house is back on solid ground. read more

Our foundation was 3 inches low in the kitchen, and was low to a lesser degree across the entire back of the house. The crew did an excellent job and cleaned up after themselves. We can finally close our downstairs bathroom door all the way. I strongly recommend them for any foundation work. read more

We are very happy with our experience working with R&R Foundation. We reached out to R&R due to some settling in a corner of our home. The entire process was smooth throughout estimate, scheduling, and project completion. Mike and Justin were our project crew and they were awesome. They took great care around our yard and in our home. They also helped us know what to expect at each step and involved us in the process. We only waited a few months from proposal agreement to completion which I think is very reasonable, especially due to COVID and permitting (which R&R completely handled). R&R also bumped up our start date as jobs finished early. You're in good hands with Cory, Barbie, and the R&R team. read more

R&R Foundation Specialists were awesome. They lifted a corner of my 110 year old house and fixed a beam that was slipping. From the quote, to scheduling and job completion I was very pleased. Once the job was completed. They even took the time to put everything back together and clean up as well. Highly recommend and they extremely well priced. Darian, Tyson and their teams were professional, responsive, courteous and punctual. read more

I was concerned my foundation was sinking. The appointment making process was very friendly and easy. Corey showed up on time; He was very professional and not only tolerant but kind to my dogs. He wore mask, removed shoes and came with all necessary tools. Corey gave me the excellent news in writing with actual measurement showing that I don't need a foundation repair at this time. So nice to see honest people in construction. I would have definitely used R&R specialists if I needed repair and will definitely recommend to others. Thank you R&R! read more

Worked with Sal the 2nd time. Very informational, honest, responsive and great service! Sal did what he promised. Will call R & R Foundation again on the next project! read more

R&R did a very large house lift project on the West side of my home. Although it was an expensive project, the team (led by Jake) was very communicative, always on time, (if not early), worked extremely hard, and did an excellent job leveling my home. I did not lose any windows, which I was concerned about. Before they left they took time to clean up the job site which was much appreciated. All and all a great job! read more

Cory came out to my house and quoted a $15k foundation repair for jacking up three different sections of the house. After sticker shock from the high price and wanting to understand if the work was needed we sought out a second opinion from a company that would not be doing the work (Al Lind Company https://www.yelp.com/biz/al-lind-company-milton). We discovered the work was not needed and the minor settlement in the house was normal for a house of it's age (1950's). Before any foundation work, I highly recommend you contact a company not incentivized to bid to do the work. It could save you thousands of dollars in unneeded repairs. read more

We had R&R come give us an estimate to help with our foundation issues we are having with our new house. Tony was the man they sent for the job and he was extremely professional and went the distance as far as inspecting our foundation and explaining to us how they would go about repairing everything. The report they sent us a couple of days later was very detailed. I can see why this company has such an outstanding reputation. We ended up not moving forward with the job due to financial restrictions but I would highly recommend R&R to anyone who wants their foundation fixed. read more

R & R tried to tackle a very difficult foundation issue where given past remodels, it was impossible to raise the foundation in one place due to obstacles that might have caused more damage to the home than trying to achieve a modest improvement, which they did. They also reduced the total price substantially because some of the work in the original bid was not necessary. I felt R & R was very honest about the situation and they did as much to try to fix my problems as was possible. read more

R&R Foundation Specialists was a great company for my foundation repair. I got two other competitors bids and they were more than double. I had my appointment scheduled and they found a way to make it happen sooner than later. Mike and his mask wearing team showed up 10 minutes early and ready to work. Now unfortunately I have some drywall repairs to do but no fault of R&R. read more

Excellent problem solving and resolution skills. Good communication. Thank you for fixing the sinking foundation and remedying the mistakes of others. We love the little house. Thank you read more

PLEASE NOTE, I DO NOT LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO, AND THE WORK WAS DONE IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON Our house was sinking. It felt like we were marbles on a giant tilting maze. There were cracks in several doorways. R&R Foundation specialists to the rescue. After the initial consultation (free) and inspection of the house, I found out they had a few different options. After reviewing the different options I still didn't have much of a clue which one we really needed. Surprisingly, our specialist didn't try and sell us on the most expensive set-up. He took the time to explain exactly what the different fixtures would do, and how we could get what we were looking for (a lasting solution for stability and leveling) and ended up encouraging us to spend less than we had originally intended. This commitment to honesty and integrity in pricing continued into the actual project. We did wait a short time for city permits to clear. After that engineering was done quickly. As it turned out, a raccoon had gotten into the crawlspace between the inspection and the service being completed. When R&R arrived they let me know and did everything they could to help me out with information. It was definitely my responsibility to have the area clean and ready for the intial team to work, but I didn't check the day before and as it turns out raccoons can leave quite a mess. It turned out to be no big deal, because R&R allowed me to clean out the space at my convenience and re-scheduled the service at my convenience just days after I called to let them know the space was now clear and clean. There was no long wait-listing or any penalty for them having to come out a second time. They were incredibly nice about it. The day of the actual service (yesterday) was amazing. In mere hours they had the stabilizing pilons and pads in place and I was able to literally watch the cracks around my kitchen door disappear as they began the process of lifting up the home. The total lift (which varied around the portion of the home that received the work) was only between an inch or two depending, but the over-all effect is amazing. David was running the crew that did the work, and Mike was the coordinator for the project. They (as well as everyone else I worked with on the project) were absolutely incredible. The workmanship, cost and integrity of this company are off-the-charts incredible. While I expect the work they did to outlast the house, if I ever have any other foundation needs for any property, I will absolutely contact R&R Foundation Specialists. read more

Okay, looks like the crew is wrapping things up here. In the end, the results are just as expected and I'm satisfied. The basement wall came up to within 3/8" to 1/8" across the chimney side of wall.  The window wall is damn near level except at the corner which intersects with the chimney wall. Richard (site foreman) and his assist Cody along with Brett (polystyrene foreman) and his assist Ian need to be commended for their knowledge and professionalism displayed throughout the project. My many questions during the process were answered with what I consider true experience and patience.  They even included me in the raising process and a tiny bit in problem resolution at the half way point in the jacking. Your company has "gold" in the entire team and you can be assured of my endorsement. Another satisfied, very happy customer! Dana read more

R&R is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Cory came to my house today to evaluate a fireplace that appeared to have some settling and cracking. Cory was very friendly and knowledgeable. Communication before Cory arrived was thorough as they confirmed the appointment and Cory called 20 minutes before arriving to provide me with status. He evaluated the fireplace and crawlspace and measured for level variances in the areas surrounding the fireplace. He also went into the crawlspace to do a further evaluation. After the end of the evaluation, he assured me that there were no concerns and that the construction was very solid. There was also no charge for the evaluation, which is very unusual these days. It is very refreshing to find companies that are so thorough and honest in doing the right things for their customers. I would highly recommend them for any foundation concerns that you might have. read more

I was worried about a crack in a retaining wall and got a few quotes. R&R came out and after a careful inspection, said that no work was needed. They said what work they could and would do, if the crack showed any signs of movement, but explained to me why the crack wasn't an issue and wasn't going to get worse. It's really nice to find professionals that aren't trying to sell thousands of dollars in unneeded work. Thanks for the honest opinions R&R! read more

Great experience. Corey came out to do an assessment on my house after I saw some drywall cracks inside and said I have some slight settling happening with my foundation. He was very honest in his assessment and I decided to have it taken care of now rather than wait until it got worse. Justice and his crew showed up and did a fantastic job. They installed a few helical piles in the problem areas and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were very friendly, answered all my questions, and cleaned everything up when they were done. I'm so happy I had this taken care of early before it got worse and saved a lot of money in the long run. Thanks Cory, Justice, and everyone else at R&R for such a great experience! read more

Cory, the owner of R & R Foundations came to our home to provide a quote for the cost of leveling our foundation. He spent some time measuring and evaluating and then presented us with a comprehensive plan for leveling our home and and Cory quoted a price that we thought was fair and reasonable. His crew showed up and followed the plan exactly. These guys were hard workers and real pros. As promised the job was done in three days. The work site was completely cleaned up. I high recommend R & R Foundations. They did a great job. read more

Like so many relocating to Seattle, I've never owned a house so advanced in age before and the folks at R&R were fabulous every step of the way! The gentleman who came out and provided the estimate, not only talked numbers with me but provided me an education on how the damage had gotten so bad and explained every step of the repair process. With every question I asked he gained more and more trust. The other estimates were not as detailed or thorough. The team that arrived to do the work were of the same caliber. I happen to have an inspector on site reviewing other areas of the house and he was so impressed by their work, he asked for the card for referrals. I know I won't need them again for my current home but should I ever have foundation needs it will be R&R I will be calling! read more
