About
What this site is, and what it isn't
We are not the crew that shows up with hydraulic jacks. No contractor is currently partnered with this site, so requests are paused. Contact a qualified Carrollton foundation contractor directly if you need an inspection.
Say it plainly
Why we say that up front
Most foundation sites in North Texas read as though a single large company covers every suburb from Denton to Waxahachie. Sometimes that is true. Often the site belongs to a marketing operation and the lead is sold to whoever bid highest that week — which is fine, except that you were never told, and you have no idea who is turning up.
We would rather be plain about it. This is an information site with no local provider partner, and requests are paused. The checklist below can help you assess a contractor before hiring one directly.
The filter
What we actually screen for
Carrollton's Building Inspection division requires a permit for every foundation repair regardless of valuation, and requires that the repair be designed by a Professional Engineer. A final inspection is scheduled once the work is complete. That single rule eliminates a lot of operators, and it is the main thing you should check.
- Does the contractor work with a Texas-licensed Professional Engineer as a matter of course, not as an upcharge when pushed?
- Do they pull the Carrollton permit themselves, or expect the homeowner to?
- Do they start with an elevation survey, or with a price?
- Will they say "no repair needed" when that is the answer? Drainage work is sometimes the correct and much cheaper outcome.
- Is the warranty transferable, and does it survive the company changing hands?
What we refuse to do
What we deliberately do not do
There is no countdown timer on this site, no "3 slots left this week", and no free-inspection offer designed to get a salesperson through your door. Foundation movement in Blackland Prairie clay is a seasonal process measured in years. Nothing about it justifies pressure, and urgency in this trade is nearly always a sales technique rather than an engineering assessment.
We also do not publish reviews, ratings or case studies. We have not collected any, and inventing them is both dishonest and, under Google's guidelines, a good way to get a site removed from search entirely. If you want reviews, look up a contractor's own listing before you hire them.
Who pays
What it costs you
No contractor currently pays this site, and we are not accepting inquiries. Treat the information here as a starting point rather than a recommendation: get a second quote and read the engineer's report yourself.
Cost expectations
A word on cost expectations
DFW contractors advertise pier-and-beam repairs in wide ranges, commonly several thousand dollars up to the mid five figures, with per-pier pricing varying enormously by depth and access. Treat every published range, including those, as marketing rather than measurement. The only number that means anything is the one attached to an engineered scope for your specific house after somebody has taken elevations.
No obligation either way
If you need a survey
Contact a qualified foundation contractor directly about an elevation survey and an engineer's assessment. Those give a sound basis for pricing repairs, and sometimes the assessment concludes that nothing needs lifting.
Say what you are seeing and roughly when it started. If you have been marking a crack, the dates matter more than the width.
