We contacted ESR for a potential crack in our foundation and scheduled an appointment with Zack to conduct the inspection. We were thoroughly impressed with how meticulous Zack was all around and under the house. He spent about two hours identifying every little thing and offered thoughtful solutions to every issue he identified. The first company to conduct an inspection cost us $250 and they stayed for about 15 minutes. ESR was a free inspection that was much much more thorough. I would highly recommend ESR to anyone and in the event we need repair work done in the future, they will be our first and only call.

Steve came over today and spent nearly 2 hours thoroughly explaining not only the situation of our home, but a history of building construction since the 1930's. With illustrations and insightful metaphorical explanations, I got a better understanding of the way soil moves and changes with the seasons and over time. He also did a great job of understanding the effects of water and soil movement. I've had four other contractors come over to my house, and this was by far the best in the area at understanding concepts of my foundation clearly, without being made fearful of potential outcomes. This information helps clarify and understand my home a lot better, and I'm so...read full review

We had to create a brand new foundation for an older home on a steep slope in a site where the homes on both sides came right to the property line, and the only access to the work area was by walking down steps and a footpath and then uphill to the actual building footprint. The access was worse than limited. The house is 35' deep, and it had sunk so badly that there was a 9" difference in elevation between front and back. The first foundation repair contractor we dealt with strung us along forever, claiming they had a new method that would work, and then they decided they couldn't do it after all. Another company waffled, but never got back to us, despite repeated attempts. When we contacted ESR, we got lucky in two ways. First, they could do the job within 3 weeks, because they had a large project at the bottom of our hill that had been put on hold. All of the needed equipment was right there. Second, they did a brilliant job. This included sinking piers down to bedrock (one was 20', and the others were 17-18'), mixing and pouring concrete in an incredibly small area, correcting a mistake (along with the framer) made by our engineer, whose plans were inadequate/incomplete (without charging extra for that service). Their expertise was second to none, and they were brilliant problem solvers. Our framer said we were so lucky to have gotten to work with them. We are so thankful we got to work with them.
