Dana pointed out tell-tale signs of foundation damage in her home as we performed the free in-home estimate for her Ennis home.
At Foundation Repair Solutions, we live for providing our expertise to homeowners all around the DFW. Recently, we visited a well-known blogger of, “A Slob Comes Clean,” at her home in Ennis, and asked her to give us some feedback on her free in-home estimate experience. If you’re wondering what your typical in-home estimate experience with us would be like, just read her feedback below:
“We live in North Texas, where the soil is cruel to houses on slab foundations. When we looked at houses in our town, it was pretty much a given that every single one had foundation repairs, needed foundation repairs, or would one day need foundation repairs….”
“We’ve lived in this house for almost six years now (I know that because we looked at it the day we brought my now-almost-six-year-old daughter home from the hospital.) It’s a great house, but we’ve noticed the tell-tale signs of foundation issues in recent years. Cracks in the walls, doors that won’t shut properly, etc. Last summer’s drought didn’t help….”
“My thoughts on Foundation Repair Solutions? I was very impressed. George was clean-cut, well-spoken, and spent a significant amount of time not only explaining the ultra-detailed-and-thorough graph/drawing/thingy he had created of our home. He also explained in great detail (complete with his own drawings) what would need to be done to correct the problems.”
“He also talked to my husband and I about some landscaping that was too close to the house and why that is not good for the foundation. My husband was particularly thrilled that George recommended we dig up and completely get rid of the red-tipped ?Fotinia? (my mom will know how to spell that word) which has grown to gargantuan size in the front of the house. He explained that this particular plant/bush/tree/monster sucks a significant amount of moisture out of the ground and away from the foundation. Since it was so close to the house, that moisture was being drawn away from the foundation.”
“Who knew? Well, now I do. And that’s at least part of the battle, right?”
“If you’re in the DFW area, I most definitely recommend that you do a reality check and have your foundation inspected. North Texas homeowners that “Like” the Foundation Repair Facebook page can receive a free $50 Visa gift card when they schedule free in-home assessment in the form that the Facebook tab should direct them to once they click “Like”. Be sure to follow that link because you will only qualify for the $50 Visa gift card offer if you are listed in the database that records our FB Likes. If it turns out that someone who schedules the estimate through the promo page needs repair done, FRS will also offer up to a $1,500.00 rebate. And FRS repair work comes with a lifetime transferrable warranty, which is a total necessity when selling a house in our area!”
