Olshan Foundation Repair

Jack K.

Our home in Dallas was built in 1968 and has a slab foundation. We recently completed some remodeling work and noticed several new cracks in the den where we removed old paneling and replaced it with sheetrock. I called Oshan to get an opinion and was very pleased with the service they provided. Bill Ford spent well over an hour inspecting the premises, taking readings and measurement and recording the information. All of the measurements for our home were within the tolerances identified as acceptable by engineers. I respect the professional opinion they provided and the fact that they didn't attempt to suggest there was a problem needing work when there was none. We'll retain their information for future needs and will not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.

Had several companies submit quotes for a french drain due to water coming in house in Carrollton during heavy rains. Olshan was only company that brought measuring tools and Mark, their technician, was the only one who explained why I wanted a surface drain and not a french drain. The price was in the same range as the other companies and since they were the most professional, I chose them. The crew n supervisor who came did a great job despite having to dig thru very rocky soil. I was also impressed that the supervisor did not leave the job site - an unpleasant experience I've had in the past. They were very experienced with the installation and I'm very happy to have chosen them. Now let the monsoons begin!!

Can't even give them one star. Had them come out to poly jack our driveway. They claimed they put 300lbs in. They couldn't show us the product when we asked. Odd...
The young man running the truck seemed more interested in his phone than the job.
It didn't even move the driveway. They claimed they would come back in June, after the original date in April. To add to it and see if they could get it up to the height needed.
Called Heath in June and he told me to call the office. Did that, they promised me they would be back out to see what was going on, in June the 6th. It's now July 18, 2019 and they still haven't made it out and they won't return calls. Gave them 3300 and as the song goes. Take the money and run..... Stay away from this outfit. It's apparent they only want your money.

I recently got the floors redone in my home and noticed many cracks in the concrete slab. Unsure of whether or not these should concern me, I contacted Olshan for a free inspection. Robert Wise came to my home and was extremely informative, very personable, and very professional. Fortunately, at this time I do not have any foundation issues and Olshan put my mind at ease. Thanks, guys!

Olshan did our surface drains on March 19th, 2019. I cannot testify to how well they work just yet since we've had no rain. However, the work looks nice and they made sure to clean everything up well. They installed a channel drain grate in our front sidewalk because we had bad standing water there when it would rain. Initially, they placed the grate too deep causing a tripping hazard. After I expressed my concern with that area they explained that they were trying to ensure that the water would drain better instead of still pooling there. I was still uncomfortable with it so they did raise it so that it would be safe. I am interested to see how it works once it rains. I was assured that if any of the drains did not function optimally they would come back to repair them for free within a year that the work was done. So far I am satisfied.

Wouldn't even give them one star but you cant do Zero, change the name to Old Scam

Interviewed them as well as 6 other companies For foundation work.

When they showed up they asked if the house had foundation work previously, I said yes and done by their company - here is a copy of our warranty. Representative says that wasn't our company however they sent our address to their home office and brought up the full job!

Next they told us they wouldn't quote Unless I signed a hold harmless agreement not covering the previous work. Why would that matter if the previous work wasn't done by their company? I said flat out no and they told me they would price the job but it would be contingent on me signing the document

Their price was the highest, recommending 30 piers - twice the amount of the rest of the competition.

Beware and do your homework when choosing someone for your foundation- and think twice before choosing these guys

We used Olshan in 2002 to repair the foundation at our home. They installed their cablelock system and I have started to see foundation damage again but can't get anyone to respond to the lifetime warranty I have. Another contratcor came out to look at the damage and noticed that Olshan did not secure the block stations they installed in the crawlspace and they have fallen over. I would not ever use this company again.

Their word is their bond. Olshan performed extensive repair work on my parents house several years ago. Because of their age Mom and Dad opted for a solution that corrected the perimeter slab issues and avoided the disruption of having break the slab inside of the house. Olshan warned of possible new movement and promised warranty return. Years passed, house needed adjustment and I called. They were back and work was completed within 2 weeks, perfect work and parents were treated like family. Thank you Wayne Brown and staff. You guys are a blessing.

My rep Sam Thompson was very professional and knowledgable. Sam made it easier to understand about foundation repair process. I will recommend to family and friends.

Olshan has literally ruined my home. It had two tiny cracks in the bathroom when Incalled them and they put in piers in the gp highest point in the house and it should have been left alone. After spending thousands of dollars, my house now has a wall that is splitting in two and now they want to put piers inside the house for $50,000.00. The piers are going to end up costing me half of what my house initially costs. Every time a different representative comes out, they say it needs piers somewhere else. They are horrible and unreliable,
