Wade Siler did a stellar job inspecting the crawl space. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done and gave me a specific estimate. He was candid about what was necessary and what was not. I highly recommend Wade and AFS!

Jesùs, Juan, and Dakota just left and my floors are now even! Very reasonably priced. I paid 5K less than the other quote I received. If you even need foundation repair call AFS and request Jesùs and his crew. He was very knowledgeable and explained in detail what to look for in the future. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Great company done a wonderful job. The only complaint is the do not explain about having a electrical out put in by a sub-contractor. It was very costly and I could have done it myself. Plus the sub contractor done a crappy job. That being said I still would recommend them over anyone else.

Nick and Josh from AFS CONCRETE LEAVELING came out to relevel my driveway after some settling issues caused it to pull apart some. They both explained to me what the remedie would be. Going forward, Nick showed me by using his level that any water accumulation would now run off the concrete instead of pondering. They both did an amazing job as Josh showed me the procedure on sealing the cracks that had opened up. Both these guys were professional and highly recommended!

Scheduled an inspection for a sagging concrete sidewalk (and front steps)….Tanner arrived as scheduled and provided me a professional assessment of the damage, along with a repair estimate. He clearly explained the lifting process, with the help of some before and after videos. I scheduled the sidewalk repair, and also received an estimate for driveway repair (cracks, sagging, etc). There was no pressure at all….Tanner also inspected the exterior of our house for any signs of foundation problems, which he did not see! Before replacing a concrete sidewalk or driveway, I would definitely contact AFS for a free inspection to learn how their lifting process can save you time and money! Thank you!
