When someone talks about Foundation Repair
they typically follow up with it it is EXPENSIVE! When we say that something is expensive, we have to have a relative baseline of what the average is for what is being called expensive. If you take cars for example, we can use a baseline that a typical new car will cost around $30,000. This would be something that would be relevant to let’s say a new Honda Accord or other 4-door sedan-style car. Now lets say you are looking for an SUV or a Truck, getting a new Truck or SUV at $30,000 would be seen as a great deal. But we all know that the baseline for a new SUV or Truck is closer to $50,000. As you can see by just saying you got a new car for $50,000 it can be viewed as you over paid or it would make sense for what type of car you actually purchased. Same thing goes for Foundation Repair.
Foundation Repair can have a wide range of cost just like cars can. Depending on the type of repair that is needed a Foundation Repair project could range from $1,500 for soil densification to $12,000 a piece for caissons (we call them the Bentleys of the industry). Just like cars, there are specific needs that each type of repair will need to satisfy. You buy a 3rd row SUV or minivan because you have 5+ members in your family and a 2 door coupe just won’t satisfy your needs. With Foundation Repair, you wouldn’t want to purchase a $1,500 soil densification, when what will satisfy or fix your problem, actually costs $30,000. Same goes in reverse, you don’t want to be sold a $50,000 Foundation Repair, when a $10,000 would have satisfied or fixed the problem. That’s why it is important to educate yourself on your purchase and who you purchase from.
