I had some work done by another foundation company that I was concerned about. I called Pinnacle…read moreand immediately got a returned call from Mr.Lopez who reviewed my project and gave me some advice. As a fellow contractor I was throughly impressed by his expertise. I wish I would've hired him for my project. Thank you!

As promised here is my update and name correction, it was Jim that I initially spoke with not…read moreCraig, sorry Jim you called me while I was napping so I was not fully functional. Ken showed up today promptly, and when I say promptly, I mean to the second level promptly, at 09:00. He clearly had read all the notes about my unfortunate situation, but asked me to update him with all the work I had done since my initial call. He was forming his plan of action in his head as I briefed him, after I had finished, he went out to his truck, put on his coveralls and went under my house and did a very thorough inspection. I could hear him moving things around under there and every now and then banging on things with his metal probe tool he took with him. He explored every corner of my crawl space, took numerous pictures and had a surprisingly good diagram of my foundation mapped out on graph paper ready to show me when we sat down to go over the results. The results..... He took a deep breath and said, "OK, we got a lot going on here," and proceeded to explain a little about the general layout of my crawl space, which was, let's just say not your typical crawl space, then he showed me his pictures, ("they were much worse than I imagined") and said, "so here is what I would do, if this was my mother's house". That pleased me very much, I said "yes that is exactly how I want you to approach this, I want it done right." I will confess, I am somewhat of a perfectionist, a retired perfectionist, that takes naps during the day, and used to do all my own work on everything, cars, carpentry, welding, etc., etc., you get the idea. I LOVE to buy tools, and by doing things myself, I could justify the expense of any specialized tool I needed to perform the task at hand, then I just self taught myself on how to properly do what ever needed to be done. "If you want the job done right, do it yourself," was how I rolled, until my body decided to start protesting. Ken layed out his plan and I loved every bit of it, because I know, his plan is a good plan, it is the plan I would have come up with myself, I loved this plan. It is proportional to the level of damage, but logical and measured in response. I haven't seen the quote yet, but I know enough to be able to visualize what they are going to have to do to properly fix the damage, and the difficulty level involved. I have no doubt, that when I see the quote, it will be fair, right Ken?
