California Foundation Works - Los Angeles, California

Juan and his crew did a fantastic job on my concrete slab. I had been living with several cracks that had developed over the years, one crack in particular had lifted almost 2” within the previous five years. Juan’s crew arrived on time, were courteous, covered everything with plastic, worked nonstop including installation of rebar, until the job was completed. They were very professional, respectful, and cleaned up before leaving. I interviewed several other contractors and they were the lowest bid, but I mainly hired them because of their great reviews and reputation. I’m so glad I did. Thank you Juan and California Foundation Works.

We had the best experience with California Foundation Works. Our basement was flooding everytime it rained. I’d gotten a few other quotes and plans, but Juan came up with the best plan and waterproofed our home from top to bottom. They handled the permits and inspections and everything in between. They were transparent about pricing and timeline and easy to reach. It rained a few days after they poured the concrete back over the French drain and our home was bone dry. Worth every penny and would definitely use this crew again.

Let start off by saying I rarely write reviews, but in this instance - it just couldn’t go without being recognized. Mr. Juan (i.e., green eyes) - big boss man in charge, truly stands-out as a guy with in-depth knowledge of construction. California Foundation Works is currently amidst an extensive hillside drainage project at my residence - and from the beginning, starting with the girls at office (i.e., my main point of contact being Derma) - to all the workers on-site have been nothing but amazing. Over the past number of years - I’ve been though countless construction projects, but nothing as effortless & transparent as what I’ve experienced to-date with California Foundation Works. Thank you Mr. Juan (i.e., green eyes), 2nd Mr. Juan (i.e., white beard), 3rd Mr. Juan (i.e., foreman on-site), Derma and entire staff & crew for being a pleasure to work with.

After getting ridiculously expensive quotes from a number of other contractors, California Foundation Works showed up, inspected my foundation, and wrote me a full but reasonably priced proposal for repairing a cracked/crumbling section on a 1920s bungalow. Communication was excellent throughout the process and the repair--difficult, dirty work--was quickly and expertly completed. California Foundation Works even painted and re-paved the surrounding area, so it looked better than before. I was so relieved to have had both an affordable and professional experience!

I had foundation issues and drainage issues in my home. My garage would flood each time it rained. They accessed the problems and knew exactly what needed to be done to fix the problems.

As well as foundation issues, they did fencing and pavers in my yard and went above and beyond to make my backyard into an AMAZING OASIS. Juan you rock. Their crew guys came every day, were very reliable, professional and worked tirelessly to complete the job. I would highly recommend California Foundation Works to anyone who not only needs foundation/drainage work but any other work as well. Looking to use them again for additional work on my home. Shai and Roy always got back to me when I had questions or concerns and were always addressed any concerns. AMAZING! Thank you Shai, Roy and Juan for all the work and time you spent with me. Might have more for you in the future because you were so great to work with.

I found this company on Google after we had a not so good experience with another foundation expert. I worked with Shai who was very accommodating and explained the entire process of how they would correct our foundation issues. The home we had worked on was over 100 years old and had severe foundation damage. Shai assured us that they were going to take care of us and get it done quickly. The project did not go quickly but that was no fault of the contractor it was because of the city of Los Angeles inspection department and the slow down with COVID-19. Shai and his company was finally able to expedite the inspection process and we were able to get this project done within 30 to 45 days. The work was immaculate.. they cleaned up fixed any cracks that was inside of the house and they even mowed the grass for us. I would definitely recommend this company… I would recommend their work… I would recommend their cleanliness and their ability to get the job done in a fast timely and safe manner.These guys are definitely experts in their field.

Very pleased with my experience using California Foundation Works! Due to the drought and our soil type, my raised foundation had slipped causing the floor to become unlevel, and cracks inside and outside of my house, not to mention doors not being able to close and latch anymore.

They provided plans and details to submit to LA county and handled procurement of the permits. The longest part of the process was waiting for approval from the county to get permits, but once we did, the corrective work happened very quickly.

On site, the staff was friendly, focused, and efficient. Considering the significance of our issues (almost 4" out of level on one corner of our house), it only took about 10 working days across 3 weeks to install new support piers, girder, and leveling the floor, not to mention stucco patch and touch-ups. There was a bit of down time between bursts of work was due to having to wait for the appointment with the inspector, but once we got sign-off on the placement of the piers, the concrete pour and leveling work began the next day.

Thank you Leo, Shai, and Dirma (and the whole crew)!

Shai and Ricardo were great to work with. We needed a section of our hillside to be more stable to protect a shed below. Shai, with CFW, was prompt to meet with us and provide us with a plan for pressure-treated wooden planters that would provide a place for us to plant stabilizing plants, provide soil retention, and added an unexpected bonus of providing a flat area to sit and hang out. Ricardo (and his team) actually put in the heavy duty planters, finished the job in a very timely manner and went above what was required of him to make sure that another area had stability too. Though we are thus far VERY pleased with our experience working with CFW, the product is just a few weeks old...ususally we wait to review until after a year or two to see how someone's work will stand the test of a little time. If in a couple of years we don't amend this review, then you can feel confident that we are still as happy with the work as we are today. We have already recommended Shai to our neighbors, and have had compliments on the structure from other builders, landscapers, and architects.
