Why Should I Fix My Foundation?

Many homeowners wonder if foundation repair is a necessary expense. At Baird Foundation Repair, we strongly recommend fixing any problems for the following reasons:

  • The problem will get worse: A foundation problem never gets better on its own. As it gets worse, the problem will cost more to fix.
  • Resale value: Who wants to buy a house with a foundation problem? Nobody!
  • Appearance: Foundation problems often cause ugly cracks — not only in the foundation itself but inside the home as well.
  • Door and window operation: As your foundation fails to hold the structure in place, your house will bend and twist. This will cause doors and windows to stick and jam.
  • Use of space: Sometimes you can lose the use of your space because of foundation failure. That’s not what you paid for when you bought your home!
  • A safer home: It’s unusual, but disasters like foundations collapsing, chunks of brick veneer falling off the house, and other serious safety hazards do emerge.
  • Keep pests away: Insects and animals can get into your home through cracks in the foundation, becoming unwanted and uninvited guests.

Signs You Need Foundation Contractors

Structural issues aren’t always noticeable at first glance. Luckily, your home will show a few warning signals when a problem is present. A few signs that you need a professional to repair foundations are:

Doors that won’t latch or stick

Cracking along your interior walls

Sticking windows that won’t latch

Sinkage along the base of your home

Bouncing floors

Leaning Chimneys

If you observe any of these indicators, it’s important to reach out to our team for help right away! Ignoring structural issues can lead to secondary problems for your home down the line, and the cost of neglecting your foundation repairs could be far greater.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE COST 

Foundation problems can be comparable from one home to another, but each case is unique and requires a customized solution. As a result, it can be difficult to provide an accurate price or range of prices upfront. Multiple factors influence the final estimate 

  • The severity of the damage plays a crucial role in determining the scope of foundation repairs, which can vary from addressing minor cracks to fully stabilizing the entire structure. Homeowners who postpone repairs may find themselves facing a more complex and expensive restoration process, as foundation issues tend to worsen over time. To minimize costs and prevent further deterioration, it’s essential to seek professional assistance promptly. 
  • Approach to repairs: There are various methods to address foundation issues, each involving different installation techniques, materials, and long-term effectiveness. While quick fixes or DIY cosmetic repairs may provide temporary relief, they often mask underlying problems that can result in greater expenses later.  When considering your options, it’s crucial to focus not only on the initial cost but also on the durability and effectiveness of the solution in providing a lasting repair for your foundation. When it comes to stabilizing your foundation, don’t settle for less than the industry-leading products provided by Supportworks!
  • Exterior and interior finishes: When foundation repairs affect finished areas such as drywall, landscaping, or concrete surfaces, plan for extra work to restore these spaces after stabilization. Many homeowners take advantage of this opportunity to enhance various elements of their home and implement additional improvements during the restoration process. 
  • Home size: Larger houses often result in higher repair costs because they require more materials and are more complex in their construction. 
  • Extra expenses: Depending on your location, you may need to secure permits or arrange for inspections before starting repairs. It’s advisable to consult your contractor to understand the specific requirements in your area. 
  • Getting a cost estimate 
  • Understanding the costs associated with these repairs can be daunting, but reaching out to a professional is an essential step toward clarity. Many contractors, including ourselves, provide complimentary estimates tailored to the specific needs of your home. Here’s what you can anticipate as you prepare for your estimate: 
  • Comprehensive Assessment 
  • The foundation repair specialist will conduct a detailed inspection of both the interior and exterior of your home, searching for indicators of structural damage, such as those previously discussed. They will likely take measurements and make notes to identify the most effective solutions for your property. This thorough evaluation typically takes around an hour to two hours, depending on the severity of the issues. We don’t want to miss anything.  
  • Review Findings 
  • The specialist will guide you through their observations, explain the underlying causes, and provide you with a clear understanding of the extent of the damage. 
  • Tailored Solutions 
  • You will be presented with a range of tailored solutions for your home’s specific needs. The specialist will outline several options to address your structural issues and assist you in determining the most suitable choice for your situation. 
  • Cost Estimate 
    Following a thorough assessment of the factors influencing repair expenses, you will receive a comprehensive cost estimate. This document will itemize the anticipated costs for restoring your home, helping you feel confident and informed throughout the process. 
  • Questions and Clarifications 
    Now is the perfect opportunity to seek further details and ask any questions you may have—whether regarding your home’s condition, proposed solutions, or the foundation repair company itself. We will also provide you with valuable questions to help ensure you are partnering with a trustworthy and reputable service provider.  
  • Written Proposal 
    You will receive a comprehensive written proposal that outlines the findings from the assessment, recommended solutions, associated costs, and any guarantees or terms. We encourage you to take your time reviewing this document to ensure it aligns with your expectations before deciding to move forward.

"I was very impressed... I didn't get any other bids. Being in business myself, I got a good feeling about Baird."
Walter
Rick G. and Chris K. did a lift for the addition to our home. They were on time, professional, neat, explained the process prior to beginning work and answered all questions. The process was efficient, did not make a big mess in the house as they drilled through my tile and when they finished you could hardly tell where the repair was made. They cleaned up their work area and asked if we had further questions prior to leaving. I would recommend these installers and Baird. The lift process is expensive but not as invasive as a traditional lift and all the voids are filled.

We called on Baird to help us with a relative’s home more than 20 years ago. We loved the work they did and the care they took in getting the house back on a stable foundation. We also love the fact they are a Southside business that chose to remain on the Southside when they got their second location. Since our home’s foundation needed to be repaired, we knew we could count on Baird. The Baird staff was great from the office staff to our installation crew and their supervisors. Our crew members were Roland, Damian and Jordan. They worked neatly around and inside our home. They were respectful and professional when getting the house ready for the lift. They showed up early, explained the process, answered our questions, and communicated with us every step of the way. They were flexible so we could be present while the lift was happening and careful to limit any damage to the interior and exterior of the home. They finished our project on time. We appreciate their work and help to give our home a stable foundation.

I used google to read reviews on foundation companies. I called several companies. Baird was not the first company I called. Our experience with Baird started with a visit from Brain, who did an inspection, and listened to our concerns about the foundation. Before Brain left he was able to give us a plan and price. My wife and I were left in shock at the price. Several weeks went by and we had other companies come out. Brain kept in touch, always in an informative way, not in a sales pitch way. It turned out all companies were recommending the same plan, but the other companies were going to use a different system. Baird was not the cheapest, as I signed the contract, I was still worried that maybe I was making a mistake. I decided that instead of missing work for the full job, I would take the first day off and my father in law would be there for the remainder of the job. I was told there was no need for me to take off work; the foreman could meet with me after hours. I met the foremen, Diego after my workday. After meeting Diego, I felt more at ease with my decision to use Baird. Diego explained what was going to happen, and why their system was better. You could feel that he was proud of this company and of his crew. My father in law opened the house for day two, half way through the day he called and I knew something was wrong. I was incorrect, my father in law was calling to say how wonderful the men were, so professional, hardworking and considerate of our home and of him Getting around the yard and house with a cane was difficult. The crew helped him get around, explaining what they were doing and kept him updated on the progress. My father in law enjoyed his time with the crew; he was even presented a Baird cap. I visited the site one day during my lunch hour and was impressed by the crew; everyone was friendly and informative on what they were doing. Everyone talked with me about how long they had worked with Baird and why it was a good company. I may be old fashion, but the crew was always polite, never heard a bad word, never saw any poor work attitude, One morning, I tried to take the trash out and several of them jumped up and finished taking it to the curb. How does a company find this type of employee? I was present on lift day, and It was quite an experience. Diego informed me that he would be lifting slow, and in sections to protect the home. He had me stay close, showing me what they were doing. Diego had me look at brick lines, and told me to stand here, or bend down her and look at this. In the hours that the crew worked, they lifted the house 4 and ½ inches. At the end of the lift an engineer showed up to inspected the job. Next was clean up, my yard came out looking good. The crew sweep and mopped inside. On Saturday Diego called to make sure my wife and I were happy and if we had any concerns that he could address. The only issue was the mailbox was placed a little lower than original. Diego said they would come out at our convenience and place it at the height we would like. I’m not use to a company doing work after they have received payment. Throughout the process I felt like my family and the Baird crew had bonded. Rusty came by a few times and made sure we were pleased with the job. The owner even called to make sure I was happy with the work. If you’re looking for a recommendation, I can say I was very pleased with the work Baird did and I will recommend them to my friends.
