After about 10 years in our home, my wife and I decided to get a complete home inspection. This came after our tax assessment revealed that our home value had potentially increased, although everyone knows that tax assessors are quite unique from home buyers in their expectations. We decide to utilize trusted contractors based on their reputation, and our inspector recommended Pro Foundation for our home foundation repair evaluation. They had a solid reputation based upon their existing client base, and they have a local presence here in the Midwest, so it was a natural fit:
While I know quite a bit about technology, construction techniques are new to me, so I decided to read up on the subject. It turns out that new advanced techniques can help provide permanent foundation restoration. This was important since I’d read about some unreliable concrete repair jobs that require annual adjustments, which means additional costs. After we called a number of contractors, we decided to use steel piers to anchor our foundation. This turned out to be a good decision based upon the complete evaluation. While we’re not looking to sell our home at this time (but who really knows in this job market), it’s important that we made the investment in our home. We had a Realtor come to evaluate our property (for kicks, or maybe for security), and she really liked the investments we made in the home (especially foundation restoration.) So, now all we have to do is fix our kitchen and guest bath and we should be all set to move the home in case the need arises.
