We bought our home 3 years ago and have been dreading to do an earthquake retrofit for our home which was suggested to us during our inspection. We didn't rush because we were overwhelmed with the cost that other companies had given us in the beginning. Once we refinanced our home we were ready. A close friend of mine had done a retrofit with sunshine Builders and Foundation Repair and suggested we use them. We met with Lee that same week. He explained the process to us in detail and now I'm not sure why we waited so long. The process wasn't as complicated as we expected. We also really appreciated his response time and attention to detail. The workers were just as responsive as we had a lot of questions. I would highly recommended using this foundation company for your home. They did everything that was promised including finishing the project on time. read more

Extremely professional and thorough. They did a great job on my retrofitting project. They even handled all of the paperwork for my EBB claim. The crew was friendly and respectful. I couldn't be happier. read more

Lee came out and checked the foundation.. he was so kind and honest about the house!! i'm a first time home buyer and at first i was beyond confused on what he was talking about regarding the foundation and he explained everything so in depth. i felt comfortable understanding his findings and will definitely be using this company and Lee again!! read more

As new homeowners, we weren't sure where to start. I reached out on Yelp and received a call the next day. The gentleman I spoke with was friendly and informative. While it was determined we ultimately did not need this service, he still stayed on the phone to answer questions and educated us on retrofitting. I am saving their contact in case the service is ever needed. read more

I own a 4 unit property in Highland Park which had failing cripple walls compromising the structural integrity of the building. Before hiring Sunshine Builders & FoundationI had two other companies come out for an inspection. The first inspector didn't even go under my house, he pulled out a Simpson Strong Tie pamphlet and started pointing to the repairs he would do when he had no clue what was going on. The second inspector again didn't go under the house, his hard sell was to hire an engineer that was affiliated with his company and pay $2,750 to have plans drawn up so he can bid off of them. I know enough about repairs that a legit company will inspect the problem and give a recommendation and then a bid. Finally, third times a charm I called Sunshine Builders & Foundation and the owner Ram came out to do the inspection because his head guy was on vacation. He threw on a pair of coveralls and immediately crawled under the house to source the problem and give a solution. It's nice when someone can explain their professional opinion in an easy to understand manner. Two days later I had the bid in my inbox explaining the step by step process of the construction to fix the issue along with a recommendation for an earthquake retrofit that would strengthen the foundation which I opted to get done. There was NO sticker shock from the bid, everything was VERY reasonable and I initiated booking the job that same day. I can tell you there was on the day the job started 10 professionals that worked diligently to complete the job in a 2 day span. This company went above and beyond my expectations. The job was done very well. Everyone in the crew was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company. read more

I really appreciate that Sunshine Foundation worked to accommodate our tight timeframe. Our inspector, Sam, communicated his estimated arrival time, was thorough in his inspection and he was very kind throughout the process. Sam was also able to provide a report the same day, so we are very pleased with the overall service. read more

If anyone has any concerns with their foundation I would not hesitate to recommend Sunshine Foundation to them. And definitely ask for SOLOMON as your inspector. It was my lucky day to have Solomon be assigned as our inspector. He was just amazing in so many ways. He was very thorough with his inspections, took tons of pictures of the crawl space to share with me so I can see for myself what's going on underneath the building. He was super courteous and thoughtful, knowledgeable and just superb in attitude and helpfulness. In the end, it turns out our foundation is in good shape and no work was needed. Still, Solomon didn't mind giving his time and detailed attention to our issue even though there's no work to be done. Thank you VERY much Solomon! Like I said , your company is very lucky to have you. read more

Golan helped us inspect the foundation of a property we are going to buy and did a fantastic job explaining everything to us with his honest opinion and valuable suggestions. Highly recommend him for any foundation job! read more

I found Sunshine on Yelp, and Ram (the owner) came out to inspect the foundation of my home. All I have to say is "wow." Ram was very polite and professional, but most importantly open and honest. He told me that my house was in perfect condition and left me with some tips and pointers on how to keep it this way. I would never hesitate to reach out to Sunshine or Ram in the future. I am always unlucky with contractors lying to me to do unnecessary work, but I found a gem in Sunshine Foundation. read more

We knew we had leveling issues when the kids toys started rolling to one corner of the room. We started noticing more and more cracks on the exterior and interior of our home. We tried to hold off but the problem became more noticeable and it was embarrassing to host guests. We had sunshine come out and assess our foundation they dropped a leveling device on the floor (very impressive) and told us our house was settling 4 1/2 inches. Because of the severity of our problem they were able to squeeze us into their busy schedule. It took 3 weeks to do the home leveling and seismic retrofit to our home. The crew was amazing to work with. We are very happy we chose sunshine builders and foundation repair!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Sunshine Foundation Repair for a foundation repair job at my recently purchased home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations. As a first time homebuyer, I researched, received referrals and had multiple quotes before selecting Sunshine. I'm thorough and Sunshine matched my thoroughness! If you're looking for a team that cares about quality of work and provides great customer service, you should reach out to Sunshine Foundation. The account lead that conducted the initial inspection went above and beyond to ensure I fully understood the scope of the work. He provided a detailed explanation that was far superior to any other company I had consulted. Additionally, he backed the explanations with an extensive collection of photos and videos of my foundation, which made it easier for me to grasp the situation and make informed decisions. Also the owner (Ram) took the time to check in with me directly alongside his team! This was above and beyond what I expected and it created an environment that yields future business. Everyone at Sunshine were quick to answer my questions, anticipate needs, and provide expert guidance. It's not often that you find a team so dedicated to customer satisfaction and integrity. Whether you're a new homeowner, long term owner, realtor, or design consultant, Sunshine Foundation is recommended! read more

I was referred to Sunshine Builders through a family member that used them to retrofit their home. Was told that their services and quality of work was top star. I totally agree as we used them for retrofitting shortly after. Our house passed inspection easily and now I can sleep peacefully. Thank you Sunshine Builders. read more

Definitely recommend sunshine! I primarily worked with Ram and I was grateful that he was so easy to work with. Our situation was a bit different since we had already pulled the permit for our retrofit. Ram was super flexible and met us halfway to take the project home on our timeline. After shopping around a while I can also say they definitely presented the best value. Thank you to Ram and to the team who came out and completed our project throughly and efficiently. read more

Ram, the owner, is an exceptionally kind-hearted person who genuinely cares about customers. In addition to supporting our foundation, he gave us suggestions for other projects and connected us with reliable individuals. Meanwhile, Lee, the inspector, has been thoroughly involved in the project right from its early stages. He demonstrates a strong sense of responsibility and excellent communication skills. Lee has taken the time to meticulously explain every aspect of the project to us, leaving no room for confusion. We highly value Lee's willingness to spend time with customers, as not all contractors are willing to do so. Throughout the entire process, both Ram and Lee have been readily available to address any questions or concerns we might have had, offering their support before, during, and even after the work is completed. We like them! read more

Ram texted & called me directly & although the work we needed for installing a retaining wall on our steep hill was not within their scope of practice, he spent twenty minutes referring companies that could help. AWESOME customer service. We will DEFINITELY contact his company if we need their help in the future. Cheers! DocMikeChiro read more

True professional right from the Consultantation I understood everything that was explained.

I worked with Ram, Diana, Solomon, and the Sunshine team on an earthquake retrofit (EBB) + foundation repairs project. I have a 100+ year old house, and the crawlspace was in dire need of repairs. I received estimates from 8 contractors, and decided to work with Sunshine for 2 main reasons. First, they not only took the time to inspect and provide options for me to consider, they also went above and beyond to brainstorm on new/alternate ways to work within my constraints. Secondly, when I made a final decision to go with a more affordable repair plan, they presented me with all the risks which I accepted, and proceeded with the same professionalism as before. This made them stand out during that selection phase because other contractors got upset that I did not pick their most expensive solution and I could immediately sense the frustration and change in tone of voice and behaviors. After the work was done, Ram and the team made sure that the entire scope of work was completed with excellent quality. I really appreciate working with Ram and Diane from the office because quality control/assurance is important to me, and they both worked with me to make sure all questions are answered in details. I applaud their professionalism and their patience (even after the final check was collected). They do walk the talk on customer satisfaction, and this is rare in today's business world. Based on how the work was completed and signed off, I would surely give Sunshine 10 STARS!!! Thank you Ram, Diana, and Solomon and team. read more

I want to express my sincere appreciation for Lee from Sunshine Foundation Repairs. Lee was extremely honest, professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, experienced, and thorough in his inspection of the foundation for a Torrance house that was pending in escrow for my sister. As the selling agent, I was impressed by Lee's work and his willingness to explain everything I asked and needed to know at the property site. Additionally, Lee was prompt in responding to any follow-up questions I had the day after the inspection. I am grateful for Lee's hard work and commitment to quality, and I highly recommend him and Sunshine Foundation Repairs to anyone in need of foundation repairs. Thank you so much, Lee!

We couldn't be happier with Solomon and Ram! This amazing duo helped us get the house inspected after 4000 gallons of water was pumped out! Seriously, the BEST in the biz! The pictures say it all! After the rains, it was a muddy, wet swamp and we had no time to spare! They were on it! We got the inspection done and in the nick of time! Don't waste your time calling anyone else. These guys are the real deal! Thank you!!!!!! read more

I'm so glad I worked with Sunshine Foundation for my repairs and retrofitting. Their communication and detailed explanations for the work needed made the entire process seamless - from the initial to the final inspection. Sunshine Foundations worked on repairing damaged posts and piers as well as retrofitting. Thankfully, the owner was able to accommodate an earlier slot on their busy schedule, understanding I was in a time crunch to complete this project. Thank you very much, Sunshine Foundation team! I highly recommend them. read more

Great experience with these guys! Would highly recommend for any foundation issues you may be having.

The team at Sunshine came by today for our home inspection and we couldn't be happier. They are prompt, professional and courteous. We would highly recommend them! read more

Full disclosure, I didn't use their services so I can't speak to their quality of work. However, I believe them to be trustworthy based solely on our free inspection. As you well know, most "free" inspections aren't exactly free these days because some manner of work will inevitably be recommended. But that wasn't the case with Sunshine. Sam spent over an hour inspecting our walls and spelunking into both of our crawl spaces (with great consideration of cleanliness, I might add). The verdict was, "Yeah you've got some cracks and the support beams aren't up to my personal standards, but your foundation is good enough to save yourself some money and not do a retrofit". Done and done. WOW. Thanks, Sunshine! You bet I'll recommend you. read more

Sunshine Builders did an amazing job converting my garage into an ADU for my mother. When I was first interested in the idea I was thinking about extending the square footage of the garage, but Joe, the owner of the company had a similar job in progress nearby in Pasadena. The owner agreed to me taking a peek and I got to see framing, plumbing and electrical inside an equivalent garage. I was amazed at what they could do in such a limited space. The architect who worked on my plan was superb and really maximized the area while accommodating all the touches that were important to my Mom. The kitchen and the bathroom showcase genuine craftsmanship. These guys do not cut corners. The tradesmen were all complete professionals and hard workers. There was no lazing. They work with a sense of urgency and politeness and do not leave a mess behind the way I have seen on some jobs. Joe is a real character, you'll enjoy his entertaining stories. He took time to understand my needs and was extremely accommodating. He works with his heart as well as his head. I actually visited his own home, now that's hospitality. What a pleasure to work with and my Mom is absolutely thrilled even though she down-sized from a 2 bedroom two bath. She actually prefers this space because it is easier to keep up. She loves the upscale touches in the kitchen and bathroom which make it feel much larger than the actual square footage. Joe and his hard working team will really take care of you and see that the job is done to your high standards. read more

Great company they came out to look at some problems I was having and I had the opportunity to meet with Golan and he showed me my concerns were not foundation related. Thank you highly recommended read more

Hire this company! I have a few properties and have hired numerous professionals over the last nine years to work on the different aspects of the properties. Of everyone I have ever hired, this company has been, by far, the most professional and had the best customer service. In looking to replace our 100 year old foundation we received many quotes from various companies all with great reviews. We chose Sunshine for two reasons, their price, but also because they seemed honest and upfront compared to a lot of the other "sales pitches" we received. We were truly blown away by their communication and customer service. Every step of the way Ram, Soloman, and Juan told us exactly what expect, keeping us in the loop by having multiple conversations a week. There were never any surprises. City Inspections went by smoothly. Sunshine's workers were very efficient, kind, and polite(which, having two toddlers and tenants on the property, is always a concern). The work was done in less time than was quoted despite multiple rain storms that could have set us back. There were no additional costs past the quote. On top of that, they left our property in better condition then when they started, replacing things that we didn't even discuss like the mulch in our gardens surrounding the house (even noting the color), and painting a few extra boards of our siding that needed some love. I could go on and on, but truly, we have never felt so taken care of by any company. They should teach a class on customer service to others in the industry. Most importantly our foundation (which somehow seems like a metaphor for life) is structurally safe and ready for the next 100 years. read more

Sunshine Foundation Repairs was great to work with. They were prompt in taking my inquiries and scheduling a foundation inspection with Golan. He came by at the scheduled time and quickly reassured me that the cracks we were seeing in various rooms in the house were nothing to be concerned about and that there was nothing to do to our slab foundation. He explained why the cracks were occurring and provided great guidance. I really appreciated his transparency in a situation where I could have easily been sold into major repairs and business for them. I can't recommend them enough if you have any concerns about your foundation and want a trustworthy opinion. read more

Five Stars! This company did a wonderful job fixing the foundation of our new home. From the very beginning the communication was wonderful and the project was done on schedule. When finished, they brought in their clean up crew and patched up all the work areas as called for in the agreement. Kudos to Ram initially for personally going to the city to get and wait for the permit. His verbal skills and knowledge of the process kept him there until he left with the necessary permit to keep them on schedule. Will highly recommend this company to anybody. John M. read more

I live in a single family home and wanted to lower my home owners insurance by doing an earthquake retrofit. I found Sunshine builders online while researching a few companies. I wanted a company that specialized in sliding and racking prevention. Lee came out the next day. He went into our crawl space, took photos, and explained what needed to be replaced in order for our home to qualify for a lower insurance rate. The scope of work included adding new plywood to the cripple wall, new anchor bolts and framing clips. The work was beautiful. Everything was perfectly and carefully constructed. And the crew was amazing. We are very happy with Sunshine builders and foundation repair . read more

This is how a contractor repair company should be. Called them as I have a leaking below grade foundation in in the detached garage. It's been nuisance leaking for many years but has gotten worse and you can see the foundation wall is crumbling. Called and they set an appointment time to come out. Good communication and follow up to confirm the time. Their estimator Lee was a few minutes early which is great. He spent a good amount of time checking out the issue and taking photos and videos. He gave me lots of good information and told me this was a more complicated issue because of my house being on a hill. This would most likely require soil samples and permits and other things that would cost a lot more to the actual repair costs. We talked about options. He was clear and easy to talk to with none of the hype or pressure sales tactics so many contractors do. It was a pleasure. Later that day around 6pm Lee called me back. Said he had the owner and their engineer back at the office review the photos and videos he took and they discussed the project. It was gonna be expensive because of permits and engineering needs and the city can make a mess of that. He said they recommended we find someone to just do a more simple mortar repair and patching and put in some new drains in front of the area to funnel water away from the foundation. This would not require permits and with some luck should take care of the problem and be far less costly. They dont do this type of repair they said, but they recommended someone to me . So all this how honest companies with integrity should work! So refreshing! I'll try the easier route first. And if it fails then I know who I am going back to for the full on project. I can tell they know their stuff and do excellent work from other reviews, so this is the iceing on the cake as they say. Other contractors/companies please take note! read more

Sunshine builders and foundation repair is the only company I would use! Big thank you to Lee and Ariana for taking care of everything!!! My new garage slab looks amazing. read more

I was very impressed by the professional service I received from Sunshine Foundation Repair. Lee, my primary contact, gave us an assessment of the work and a fair price (based on several other estimates we had already received). The work was scheduled and finished in a day. The crew cleaned up and left everything as it was before they started. Lee followed up a few days later to make sure everything had been completed and we had received the before and after pictures of what was done. I highly recommend Sunshine Foundation Repair. read more

Our foundation repairs and earthquake retrofitting were performed by Sunshine Foundation Repairs. Everything was terrific. Our main contact for the project was Solomon. He was the expert who participated in every step of the project. He was so smart and experienced and brought all of his talents to guide us through this project. Our trust in him was fully rewarded. Everyone else we interacted with at Sunshine was equally well-qualified and helpful, from the front desk to the crew who went under our house. The project went very smoothly. No delays. Accurate contract with no surprise increases. The county came thru with permits and inspections and passed us with flying colors. We strongly recommend Sunshine Foundation Repairs. read more

We had an awesome experience with Sunshine Foundation Repairs! Super quick turnaround in doing the foundation inspection and at a very reasonable cost. We also hired them to do the repairs for our current property. They did an excellent job, cleared everything away and wrote a detailed report with photos for the after-repair report. We will be hiring them again for the foundation repairs for our new property. read more

I purchased a home that everyone called pandora box because of the most extensive repairs it needed. Before I was in escrow I truly fell in love with my beautiful home and I asked Ram for his professional opinion. While others tried to make a lot of unrealistic quotes he was honest and gave a fair estimate! The way he preformed the job so quick and so efficient. My engineer who was overseeing the job was extremely impressed! Honest fair and efficient! Couldn't recommend more!!! read more

Lee came out to inspect my foundation. I was worried that it had settled too much after removing a tree. He measured and told me everything was fine and that no work needed to be done. It was refreshing to get an honest opinion, and I now have peace of mind. read more

From my initial inquiry on Yelp, to the customer service with their office and especially to the actual inspection done by Ram- I HIGHLY recommend going to them for all foundation inspections and repairs. They were incredibly responsive and communicative prior to the inspection and Ram called me when he was 15 mins away from the property and gave me a full debrief after his inspection. Major house issues can be stressful and they really showed care and compassion for their customers. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! read more

Solomon was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and did a great job for us. He was able to see us quickly for an inspection and was clear and transparent with his recommendations. Very happy with the quality and customer service. read more
