Krol Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Who are the two foundation guys that always get good recommendations on this Web site? Pfister might be one of them. I thought there was an earlier discussion about this, but I've looked back to September and do not find it. Anyone able to offer info on the cost involved in getting leaning piers repaired and the house leveled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poyea Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Who are the two foundation guys that always get good recommendations on this Web site? Pfister might be one of them. I thought there was an earlier discussion about this, but I've looked back to September and do not find it. Anyone able to offer info on the cost involved in getting leaning piers repaired and the house leveled?I personally had a good experience with All Texas Foundation Repair (Bill Marks). There was a thread on this several weeks ago as well. I had one leaning pier and 5-6 that just needed to be shimmed up. I would not recommend Hy-Tech however. While they did a thorough job of determining the change in elevation through my house, they would not just quote me on the handful of piers that I wanted to get fixed. For example All Texas charged my $450, while Hy-Tech's bid was $5,800. Granted Hy-Tech's bid included installing termite shields (which I already had on most of the piers), adding new blocks "as needed", along with the work that I called them to do. And they refused to just bid on the work I needed done.From what I recall from the earlier thread, was that Bill Marks has owned this business for 20-30 years or so, same number, same address, etc. (713.529.7901).Best of luck.

musicman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 so 450 vs 5800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerloop Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'll give my positive feedback to Bill Marks at All Texas Foundation Repair because he wouldn't take my money. After coming out to my house and taking all of the measurements, he explained to my wife that the variations we were seeing just weren't worth the expense and possible cracking of walls to fix.

poyea Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 so 450 vs 5800?Yes, that is correct. Not a typo. They basically would not give me a bid for what I wanted/needed to have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have to give Bill Marks a good review too, and I would recommend him to others. All-Texas added a few support piers to my house a few weeks ago for a fair price. There was definitely some lag time from when Bill Marks initially came to my house to bid the job and when the work was actually performed, but when his crew finally came out to my house they knocked out the entire job in 30 minutes. Before hiring All-Texas I called Pfister 3 or 4 times over a 3 week period, leaving him several voice messages. I never received a return call.

Jessica N Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 we used Allied Foundation last year just before Ike. HIGHLY recommend them. They were #1 rated on Angie's list and they were half the price of Du-west and Olshan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I just used Bill Marks to check out my foundation. He said the problems were minor and showed me how to fix them myself. No charge for the service call so I offered him some money as a tip. Great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Dawson does bell bottom piers. $300 to $400 a pier. Piers are about 8 feet a part. Do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
