"We purchased a home built in 1966 knowing it had some cracks in the foundation walls that needed repair. We did not realize that 80% of our poured concrete foundation walls were leaning inward. After the initial shock that no homeowner wants to experience, we solicited three bids from different foundation repair contractors and each came up with a wildly different solution. Raul was by far the most professional and thorough of the three and the independent structural engineer we hired confirmed that his solution was the ONLY viable one of the three proposed. Imagine spending thousands on a solution that wouldn't have worked anyway! Not only that, the engineer said that no one would be able to beat Raul's price! " - Palatine, IL
