We're doing some work on a rental property in Dallas, and it's in desperate need for foundation repair. The only issue is, all of the people I have called are pretty much non-responsive and its been super frustrating. Looking for any foundation repair recommendations you may have! Thanks!

Before hiring a repair company, get an independent structural engineer to assess your foundation. This will give you a detailed report with pier locations and a count. Then, have repair companies bid on the report instead of providing their own estimates. This approach can save you money and time. I used this method on my own tile and flooring project, which saved me around $1,500. To get started, expect to pay around $500 in the DFW area. The engineer's report will also give you a solid foundation to negotiate with repair companies, as they'll be more likely to take the job seriously when there's a real report in hand. Knowing the age of your house can also be helpful in this process.

If you're dealing with a pier and beam foundation, be sure to get a thorough inspection before hiring a repair company. I had four companies come out for quotes, and only one actually went under the house to inspect the problem. The others just used a laser level to estimate the issue. As a result, they all quoted me for additional piers and expensive repairs. However, the company that took the time to inspect the problem found that I only needed new sill plates along one edge of the house, which was a fraction of the cost of the other quotes. Getting an engineering report would have saved me a lot of time and potentially a lot of money.

Getting an engineering report before hiring a foundation repair company can save you a lot of money in the long run. I used this approach on my old property and was able to get more reasonable quotes from the repair companies once the report was in hand. One thing to note is that it can take several weeks to schedule an appointment with a structural engineer, so be sure to plan ahead.

I hired a structural engineer before hiring a foundation repair company to see which company would be honest. I received about 11 quotes, and only one company stood out for their integrity. They were prompt, respectful, and clean, and their quote was significantly lower than the others.

I'm not sure if Brown Foundation Repair does work in Dallas, but they have a strong presence in the rest of the state. If you're looking for a local company, you may want to consider other options.

I've used Cortez foundation for several of my properties, and they've consistently provided high-quality service at a lower cost than the larger companies. They're based out of Dallas and have a reputation for being honest and reliable.
