What Others Are Saying About American Foundation Specialists

Steve Tomkiewicz wearing a Wisconsin cap, expressing satisfaction with American Foundation Specialists' foundation repair services.

Steve Tomkiewicz

There’s not enough room on this review to express my experience with Tony and Jamie. Our situation with our foundation was very unique and presented some challenges. American’s quote was not the lowest nor the highest quote we received. Our decision to use American as our contractor was based on their confidence and reassurance that they can help us through this ugly situation.

Years of stress due to the foundation issues are now gone. My wife and I can’t be happier with the results and would/have recommended American Foundation Specialist to others. They took a situation where we feared loosing the house to a place we can once again call home. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is phenomenal.

Thanks Tony, Jamie and the crew.

Honest, kind, prompt and very reasonably priced. I have nothing but good things to say about the wonderful job Lyle and the crew did in our basement. Lyle is so informative and knowledgeable too. Use this company for your foundation/basement issues!!!

Fantastic People, Fantastic Company. I called American Foundation Specialists to give me an estimate to fix my basement foundation per the recommendation of a foundation engineer. The first company quoted me approximately $13,000.00. When Jamie and Lyle, with American Foundation Specialists, came out and started to take measurements, he determined that the corner of my basement in question was actually only 1/8″ low and not over 1″ low like the engineer stated. After my experience with American Foundation Specialists, I cannot imagine that there is another company around with their honesty, character, and expertise. I’m still blown away that they took a job that would have been theirs and money out of their pocket and instead invest time to help me SAVE $13,000 and get the right answers.

Had a very positive experience with the owner and the crew who performed our repair exactly as was written. They actually installed two more corner braces than what was quoted. Quick work and left the job site as clean as one would expect. Quote was lower than two others and many of my neighbors have used AFS.
