    Olson diagnosed my problem and explained the most efficient and cost saving way to stabilize the foundation. The work was completed in a couple of weeks by a very friendly, careful and expert crew. Explanations of the work being done were constant and thorough. Call Olson if you notice any foundation problems.

    I did a lot of research before choosing Olson Foundation Repair. I chose them because of their expertise, which was obvious from the get-go, as well as their fast response to my request for help, their very fair pricing, and excellent customer service. The work they completed in the cellar of my 150-year-old home confirmed I made the right decision. I highly recommended this company.

    If you have foundation issues, this is the company to call! Excellent above and beyond work by Edwin and Rudis! They fixed our foundation from inside the garage, and I was amazed at the level of attention to detail. Who knew someone could cut perfect rectangles into concrete?! They also raised the house to the optimal position by constantly coming inside and putting a level to the floor. Now all of our stuck doors are unstuck. We are very pleased. Excellent, professional work, great cleanup and on top of that, Peggy in the office makes you feel like you’re visiting with your best friend. A+ experience!

    The crew did an excellent job on my garage floor. Yhe only reason I didnt give 5 stars is that they sent me a past due notice for the rest of the bill the day after the work was done. I first received the remainder of the bill the day after with a due date of the day before.

    We were required to tear out our entire finished basement to mitigate and repair multiple leaking cracks in our foundation. We had Olson do the foundation and drainage work including:- injecting and sealing all cracks- installing drain tiles under the foundation- installing FRP sheeting- install a new sump pit and sump pumpThey did excellent work. They finished the job quicker than expected. Their crews were professional and friendly, and took extra steps to minimize any mess in our house. They also took extra steps in their process to make the refinishing work for me easier once they were finished.They were able to complete their work without me tearing out all of my framing (which was going to be required by other foundation companies that we had bid the work). And on top of this, they were less expensive than the other companies we had bid the work.I highly recommend Olson, and wouldnt let family or friends use anybody else.

    My elderly in-laws were experiencing significant foundation problems resulting from the ground pushing their walls in and causing numerous horizontal and vertical cracking. They contacted the large/advertised foundation companies only to be given pricing that was astonishing high. Fearing that they were being taken advantage of, I reached out to a good friend of mine with 20+ years of Realtor experience in the city. He referred me to a structural engineer for an independent review, report and recommendation to fix the problems. Secondly, he referred me to 3 foundation repair companies that he had experience with for estimates. After receiving the estimates, we chose Olson Foundation Repair. They were not the lowest cost provider. In fact, of the 3 estimates they were higher. What set them apart was the interaction we had with John Murphy and Peggy. They were very thorough and professional. John had taken the time to listen to our questions and concerns, he read through the engineering report and gave us recommendations based on his experience. Once he submitted to us his estimate, we worked with John on some modifications without impacting quality to be more competitive with the other bids we received and he did just that, he worked with us. Once, we settled on the scope of work and estimate, John & Peggy helped get us scheduled. There was no nickel & diming or upcharging once on site. The team showed up on the date agreed and worked 3 1/2 days to finish the job, putting in a 1/2 day more than estimated in the agreement as well as a recommended additional plate/deadman without charging us additional money to make sure the job was done right! The team doing the work was very professional and the onsite foreman was very good with fielding many of my father -in- laws questions along the way. They were respectful of their home and items and left it in good order. Of course, time will tell as to the workmanship & warranty, but all in all, we highly recommend Olson Foundation based on our experience and will continue to use them in the future for any foundational issues. Thank you!

    I received a bid in December and scheduled my service for March 14-16. The crew showed up at the exact time I was told and immediately got to work. All of the employees were very courteous and kept me updated on their progress after each day. The job was estimated to be completed in 3 days, which it was. I was given suggestions on how to get my sump pump working more efficiently as all of my drainage was now going to the sump pump basin. The guys did a great job cleaning up my basement and even spread the small amount of gravel left over evenly in my (unpaved) driveway! Not only did they do a wonderful job waterproofing my basement but they were almost $2000 less than another company for the same work needed. It is so nice to go downstairs after a hard rain and have a completely dry basement!

    Luke Olson himself came out and gave us a quote. We had 4 reputable companies come and Luke was the most knowledgeable, timely and reasonable. Foundation repairs are always inundating and frankly terrifying. He simply explained our options and best solutions. He pointed out simpler, less costly options to fix problems others did not even mention for much less. His company came out, worked hard, were professional and great with communication. Peggy in the office is phenomenal at keeping things well in order!He came highly recommended from our realtor (who everyone in her office uses too) thank you Joanna! We pass on this high recommendation and greatly appreciate him fixing our home correctly and giving us peace of mind for thousands less than the big national companies that just wanted to slap an extensive and expensive band aid on a problem that would not have solved our issue. Thank you Olson Foundation for being such an amazing company!

    We received good advice on measures we could take on our own to alleviate water problems in basement. We saw some difference but not during signicant rainfall so decided to have Olson Foundation Repair install french drains, sump pump and secure a wall. They were timely in scheduling the work and provided us updates each evening on how the work was progressing, planned work for the next day, and notice of when they would return in the morning. This allowed us to plan our day and we were appreciative of their cleaning efforts each day and respectfulness/ professionalism provided throughout project. Fair pricing and highly recommend!

  • Review 10 (2021-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Olson is a great business to work with! We just purchased a new home and the basement/garage kept leaking with every rain. We were so worried any repairs would be out of our budget, but Olson was very reasonable. The guys finished the work over 3 days and it looks great. Added new drainage tile system, sump pump, new window well, new top soil for grading, and cleaned out the main water line. Will definitely call again for any repairs

  • Review 11 (2022-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    Olson Foundation Repair did a great job fixing the foundation under the sunroom stairs which were sinking on one side, & the price was affordable. They explained every step of the process, they were on time & completed the job quickly. I definitely recommend them.

  • Review 12 (2021-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    While in the bidding process for getting work done on my foundation, my first company severely overbid the amount of work needed to be done, making the situation sound way worse than the reality warranted. I was fearful that the repairs would be way over budget. When I got my estimate from Olson, they were honest and calmed my worries about what my house really needed to be fixed, and did not try to sell me extra that I didnt need. I am hugely appreciative of that. Their quote was literally a third of the other companys.They got the job done in a few days, and the whole process was very straightforward. Their work came with transferrable warranties that go way into the future, so I am comforted knowing that these issues will not be anyones burden again. Time will tell how adequate the fixes are but this is a reputable company so Im not worried.They also were insanely price competitive. They price matched anybody who would do the same job for lower as well as giving me a bargain for the epoxy I needed for the cracks. Even when they were already the cheapest overall, they price matched elements of the job that other companies would have done cheaper.Thanks Olson!

    Olson Foundation Repair has now completed work for me at two homes. Theyre a small, local, family-run business, and very fair in their pricing. They do great, reliable work at a fraction of the cost of what some of the national companies will charge. Highly recommend you give them a chance to bid on any work you need done!

  • Review 14 (2019-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great experience with Olson Foundation Repair. During the process of buying our home, there was a mix up of info between the engineer and the foundation company. The owner Jim, made it right and took care of us. They also did great work and even came out on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule. I highly recommend this company.

  • Review 15 (2023-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    We are first time home buyers with lots of questions, and they had honest answers for us. The work crew was friendly, hardworking, and did an excellent job. We will definitely go back to them for any future foundation work we might need in the future.

  • Review 16 (2022-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Foundation repair is very nerve racking. Not knowing what it exactly entails to remedy the problem. Olson foundation walked me thru the process and what we need to do to fix the problem. The staff was truly wonderful and they were very thorough. The price cant be beat and the service with the price is exponential. Thank you so much you all for all you did. Fabulous work!! They cleaned up and put grass seed down as well!!!

  • Review 17 (2021-05-19 - Rating: 5)

    We called Olson because we were getting water in the basement. We found a very knowledgeable staff. We were given two options to fix the problem. The entire process went flawless. The office staff was very friendly and the guys who did the work were exceptional. They answered all of our questions and did a great job cleaning up after the job was completed. Thanks Olson for a great job and a dry basement!

  • Review 18 (2020-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    When Luke came to give me the estimate he not only looked at the basement but he also went to every corner of the house on the inside in addition and examined any irregularities in each corner. The beam installation went smoothly and even though there was a glitch on the grading, the way it was handled was so professional and my satisfaction was truly guaranteed, which is very rare! I would recommend them to anyone. Also their office coordinator is extremely pleasant to deal with and had excellent follow through.

  • Review 19 (2023-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Venson Whitmore came out to my house to look at a crack that I noticed in my foundation. He explained that the crack was caused by the way that the concrete was poured and was not a cause for concern.I appreciate Vensons professionalism, knowledge, and honesty. I have had Olshan come out to my house several times, and they are always honest and professional.

  • Review 20 (2022-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    Olson Foundation Repair did a great job for us.The workers started as scheduled and finished a day ahead of schedule.Not the most fun thing to spend money on, but necessary. A job well done.

  • Review 23 (2021-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent customer relations and very honest. In the free consultation, Luke was clear in explaining to me that the lower exterior stucco, which needs repair, was not a part of the foundational structure. This was confirmed by an engineer, I am very thankful for the honesty and professionalism. I highly recommend Olson Foundation.

    Olson Foundation Repair replaced the main beam under my house that was failing. This was a stressful situation for me and I appreciate the kindness and communication everyone provided to make this a smooth process. Their entire team were professional, punctual, and communicated with me every step of the way.

    I was having settling issues at my house. John Murphy with Olson Foundation came out and looked at it. He showed me a few things to keep an eye on but ultimately said no work had to be done at this time. Good experience overall.

  • Review 34 (2022-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    I wanted to share that of the multiple bids I received from foundation companies-Olson was the only one that matched exactly with the structural engineer I hired separately to give me an unbiased assessment of my situation.

  • Review 45 (2023-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    Hired this company to pier an inside foundation wall, and pier the outside foundation of a screened in porch. They were reasonable to work with, timely, clean and and respectful. The workmanship appears excellent. I regret I cannot recall the job foremans name, but he deserves a shout out for being on top of everything and his (and his crews) willingness to go the extra mile. All this for a very reasonable price. Extra charged were probably justified but the company stuck with the original estimate.

    Olson company is very reliable and does what they say they will do. John Murphy was great and fair about the price when things had to be done a different way and the cost even went down. Juan was a team leader and when they ran into difficulties he was very reassuring that they would get the job done and do it right. They worked hard on what they did and we are very pleased with the results. Edwins team was very methodical and kept us informed in what they were doing. Highly recommend this company!!!

  • Review 48 (2023-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    We got 3 bids for foundation repair, went with Olson because of the cost and reviews. From the initial sales man, installation, and follow up, the entire experience was fantastic. Great communication and work. I was impressed that they finished the work and even came back a few weeks later to re-grade the settled soil.

    I had Olson Foundation place 5 anchors in my finished basement wall. Their work was exceptional. Their crew kept the mess to a minimum both inside and outside. After they were done, besides the cuts in the sheetrock, you could not tell they had been there. The 5 holes in the yard were perfect rectangles and they carried off the excess dirt. I simply reseeded and was done with the yard. I was impressed with their company from the bid through completion. Communication was great and their crew was top notch. I highly recommend Olson for you foundation work.

    We had a crack in our basement wall that was letting water in. They were prompt, effective, reasonably priced. We would highly recommend their services!

  • Review 52 (2021-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    I had a garage wall that was leaning outward and posing a risk of collapse. Had Mr. Olson himself come out to give me a quote. Got the lowest bid among a couple other companies. Scheduling the job was a breeze. They called me in advance to let me know when a reschedule had to be made. Once the folks showed up they knew exactly what needed to be done. They were quick and efficient, even though it seemed like some of digging would have been easier with a bulldozer rather than a shovel. At the end of each day they would explain to me what they had done and what they were going to do the next day. The wall was brought back to plumb and the garage roof was secured. Truly 5 star experience, I cannot recommend these guys enough.

  • Review 53 (2019-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    I had my basement ledge block walls rebuilt as they were falling inward. This was no small project. The walls had to be completely torn down and rebuilt. It was a major home project. Plus, they also worked on my sump pump by digging a deeper hole and making it work correctly. The employees they sent out to my house were very nice, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I had several bids from other places to do the same work for thousands more. I would highly recommend Olson Foundation Repair for any future concrete projects.
