Testimonials for LRE Foundation Repair

Needed floor joists repaired in our crawl space and was having trouble finding a contractor willing to do the work. From the time LRE came out to give an estimate through the completion of the work, everything was on time, professional, thorough, and friendly. Price was in line with my research. Highly recommend.

I'd like to give a shoutout to the amazing team, Jason MacDonald, James Harden, and Merrick Scarlett. The whole team was always on time and kept me updated everyday through texting, calling with pictures. We ran into a few delays in the beginning but Jim Flynn ensured things got resolved and made sure we were put on the schedule as soon as possible since we were on a time crunch. You can certainly tell that at LRE Foundation, the customer comes first and they take a lot of pride in their customer service. Once again, the on-site team was EXCEPTIONAL! James, Jason, and Merrick -- thank you for going above and beyond!

I would like to thank LRE for a great job. I had some doors that wouldn't close properly and now they do. Your techs were great and did an excellent job. The job went very quickly once the city of Tampa issued the permit and the tree people got finished, it got done in a flash. Thanks again for a great job!

I have an older home in an historic area in Tampa that had sagging floors and needed a fair amount of foundation repair work. Needless to say, I wanted it done properly, so, I decided to get 5 companies in to quote. After receiving all the quotes and planned proposals for repairing the foundations, there was no doubt in my mind that LRE Foundation Repair was by far the best company for me to go with, for several reasons. Before they came out to access and quote, LRE mailed me an 81 page booklet on foundation problems and repairs - published by an independent company - Foundation Supportworks. This gave me a good understanding of different foundation problems and why they happen, including sagging floors - and the best way to go about fixing them. There was also great information on various jacks and piers and when to use what etc. which was invaluable to me when looking at what the other companies had proposed. The Design Specialist LRE sent out to access the situation and to give a proposed plan and quote was someone who had years of experience doing the actual work. This guy was Zac Spardello. His professionalism and customer service goes beyond the expected. He took photos, liasoned with their engineering dept before he came up with a definite planned proposal and quote. Zac took time explaining to me what was wrong and had images of everything including problem areas, and how and why they proposed fixing it in certain ways, along with the with the information I had gained from the booklet. When I compared his proposed plan to the others, it was clear that he really knew what he was talking about. Other companies had in some cases sent out Estimators who clearly had never done the actual work and it showed as they had given very generalized solutions, when I compared plans. LRE was the only co who had a combination of replacing areas of old wood plus adding additional wood as well as jacks and metal beams, along with repairing/ replacing 4 brick block columns, and redoing the subfloor in certain areas. Some companies proposed only adding wood, others only metal, and this combination of materials that LRE proposed seemed to cover all basis. Permits. LRE was ready to go with permits within about a month, and they gave me a definite starting date within days. I was told by most other companies I'd have to wait at least 6 weeks to get the permits, and one company said they didn't need it as their solution only required jacks. Which is probably fine in some instances but in this case where I knew a fair amount of work was needed, I felt better about having permits. With LRE, everything was done to code and with engineering reports. LRE also offers a 25-year guarantee which is transferable to the new owner if the house is ever sold. They also offered a 5% discount if I signed with a certain time frame. They were not the cheapest nor were they the most expensive, all adding up to why I chose them. In conclusion, the work was done on time and the results were even better than I expected. I was not in Tampa during this time, I was kept in the loop with updates by phone and photos. A big thank you to Zac for all his help and support, as well as Tavian the foreman, and his team who did all the work. An added bonus is that a few weeks later I got a call from a co that was going to spray the soil under the house which would take care of any termites as the soil had been disrupted with the foundation work, which was all paid for by LRE as part of their repair package.

After finding out the builder of my townhome, installed insulation in the crawlspace without a quality vapor barrier, the after-effects have caused rotted floor joists and supplemental beams due to absorbed moisture. I was needing to find a reputable company to take on this job, as it was beginning to affect the structure and integrity of my townhome. I spoke to my neighbor across the street who had significant repairs done to their townhome just recently to replace rotted joists similar to the current condition of my townhome. They referred me to a highly recommended company - LRE Foundation Repair. After I contacted LRE to schedule an estimate - one of their sales reps (Jason, a wonderful young man) came to my home to conduct a very thorough inspection and provided me with a proposal to repair damage in my crawlspace which included replacing a significant number of rotted joists and beams. Not long after receiving the date for the project installation, I called the office to inquire if I could be put on an accelerated list to eliminate further rot and absorption of moisture. I spoke with Kristina in the production department, and she went above and beyond to accommodate my concerns and was able to get a crew out to my townhome the following week to remove the existing insulation, so all the wood in my crawlspace had time to dry out before any structural work commenced to prevent future damage. I cannot thank LRE enough for taking care of me, and my townhome. LRE has been in business for over 33 years, and it's not hard to understand why. They have demonstrated the highest level of friendly and professional customer service. If you are looking for a well-vetted company with reputable workers and quality workmanship, I highly recommend that LRE is the company you need to address any concerns you may have.  

Thank you for such a wonderful service. I can't believe how much difference it made in our lives. I have told many about your great company and they have promised to call you too! You guys are great! Thanks again.

As a professional in the industry, we know an exceptional contractor when we see one, and LRE Foundation Repair fits that description after seeing them in action at Busch Gardens. LRE clearly is experienced in commercial foundation and soil stabilization. Their efficiency, expertise, flexibility, professionalism and state-of-the-art equipment were consistently on display and made a lasting impression on our company. LRE was all around impressive in route to successfully carrying out the repair needed at Busch Gardens. We wouldn't hesitate to work with LRE again if the opportunity presented itself.

We just wanted to Thank You for sending very hardworking, respectful, polite and knowledgeable men to work at our home. Great guys and we believe their work will be the same. It was worth the wait, wish we had found your company first. Thanks again!

My first contact with LRE was Jimmy Myers. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and explained products and services in detail. I chose LRE based on his excellent introduction to your company. I would like to compliment Jennifer Harris, James Bon, Victor Feeley, and Sarah Steen for their professionalism and job performance. Each and every member of the LRE staff involved in my project is an asset to your company. Special recognition to Jeff Vonberg and his crew for their hard work and polite, courteous manners. The area around the project was clean, tidy and actually looked better than it did at the beginning of the project! Thank you for a job well done!

LRE is such a wonderful company as is every individual we met on each phase of our project; from drilling to restoration. Specifically, Ed Lagness, Mark Letendre, Mike Skiles and on the restoration side, Mike Johnson and Robert Smith. My expectations were surpassed, the project went better than expected, and my home is more improved than when we started. Couldn't be happier and will definitely recommend LRE to others!

Thank you for donating $300 to my YMCA. That was very nice of you guys. I think you guys have the best job ever!Love, Arrianna Q.(Child at the YMCA)

Fed was thorough, respectful, and transparent. I appreciated that they put down a tarp on our driveway to protect it. I heard great things about Shea Dawson. So I reached out to him and I was impressed with him. He was so thorough. Walked me through every option. Didn't try to upsell. Didn't try to pressure me or fear monger me into buying things. He was knowledgeable and patient.

I've had countless estimates to fix my drainage problems. LRE was the first to come in and tell me what I knew was needed without me saying anything. They were more expensive than the rest so I kept getting quotes. At the end of the day I wasn’t comfortable with anything proposed by the other companies, so I hired LRE. They showed up on time. Communicated throughout the entire process and were complete professionals! Rick and his crew were really great guys! I was sure my entire yard was going to be torn up, but it wasn’t. What they did dig up, they put on tarps and filled the holes back in. Don’t waste your time on quotes with other companies. They do it right the first time. Wish I wouldn't have waited a year to hire them! Thank you to the entire LRE team! My drainage and erosion problems are fixed and I can confidently say, my foundation worries are gone! They deliver a quality product that is worth the price!
