Foundation strategies did a great job. I went with them because the previous foundation company…read moredropped the ball. I called up Ken, we spoke, he came out a few times, and gave me a reasonable quote. Once the work started it went quickly. His workers kept me up to date on what they were doing. As for the work, the wall on one side of my garage was sinking, and the job was to slightly lift and stabilize it. When that job was done, I decided to have his team repair the garage slab that was sunk. Again, his team did a great job. Now all is well.

The crew, managed by Travis, worked efficiently and every single night cleaned up and left the area ready for the next day. The only change order was to get a plumber in to move a propane line.

We have a cottage on the property whose foundation is partially set into the hillside. There was…read morea French Drain behind the cottage that had failed, allowing water to seep into the crawlspace and create some mold issues. Adam came out, assessed the situation and came up with a plan that wouldn't drain our bank account. He and his crew dug a new French Drain, installed a water barrier on the concrete wall, then installed a 'catch basin' outside which captured the water from the French Drain to take it off the property via yet another drainage system. In addition, they installed a sump pump and drain under the cottage so that if any subsurface water rose up, it would be drained off as well. That was seven years ago and everything is still working as anticipated. Adam and his crew are amazing and their work ethic is among the best we've ever encountered. His attention to detail is second to none and we find ourselves recommending him and his crew to others all the time.

Ramon was SUPER communicative and responsive, gave reasonable timeline expectations that he met or exceeded, and provided clear explanations for what he and his crew were doing. Ramon checked in with me at different points in the installation to give me the chance to see the work in progress, point out factors impacting the installation process (e.g., removal of tree roots), and did a thorough walkthrough afterwards and provided me with the post-work elevations for documentation. Wore shoe coverings in the house and laid out work paper to avoid tracking dust/dirt. Ramon also pointed out that they did not end up needing to do some work that was in the original estimate and so put in a change order to reduce my invoice / get a refund. OVERALL: Glad this team was working on my house. Communicative, responsive, clear, honest.

We got in touch with Dillon and explained. He understood, asked some questions, made some recommendations, and came back to us with a detailed quote. We were surprised with the price, it was reasonable and under what we expected to pay. He sent over a contract which included the estimated time to complete the work. 10-12 working days. Eric was assigned as our project manager for the project, and Jaime was the lead foreman. They were phenomenal as was the entire crew that did the work. They cleaned up at the end of every day, and made sure we had a safe way to enter/exit our home. They were friendly and kept us in the loop the whole time. During their work, we decided that we wanted to replace the front yard fence, and after letting them know, they completely replaced the fence the next day. They did all the work with the city to get the necessary approvals for the curb work, as well as handled all the work with the utility companies to make sure their work didn't damage anything underground. The result is great, and we love how it turned out. It's better than what we wanted, and they managed to do it all within the original quoted time AND at the original quoted price (excluding the change order for the fence replacement).

They explained every step of the process in plain language, gave a fair and detailed estimate, and delivered exactly what they promised.

In an industry where trust really matters, Golden Gate Foundation Repair absolutely stands out. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area who needs honest experts and top‑tier craftsmanship. Way better than a "competitor" who came by and all they cared about was upselling, not knowing I have a background in foundation of course. Now, I know who to recommend to family and friends!
