Eddie was outstanding; if there was a better superlative, I would add them. He was patient, talked me through each step, and most importantly, demonstrated each step.

We had a problem with rain water collecting in the corner of the pool deck, which seeped into the Florida room. We called several contractors and none of them were able to offer a solution. We saw an ad on Facebook for LRE and thought we would give them a call. Rick came out and looked over the area. He knew right away what needed to be done. He said they could install an exterior drain and pitch the cement in a way the water would drain away from the Florida room. We received a quote and went ahead and scheduled the work for a Thursday. Rick called and said they could come Tuesday if we were available and this worked out for us. On Tuesday, Rick and his assistant arrived exactly on time. They explained what they were going to do and got to work. Aside from them taking a much needed lunch break, they worked the entire time and finished the project in one day. They cleaned up any signs of mess and left the site in perfect condition. The drain is exactly what was needed and we no longer need to worry about the heavy rainy season. I can't thank Rick or LRE enough. I'm so pleased with the work they did and I highly recommend them for any of the services they provide.

Newberry, FL

We would like to take this opportunity to thank LRE Foundation Repair for a job well done on our home in Newberry in regards to underpinning and grouting repairs. We were very hesitant to begin the repairs after the initial shock of learning we had two sinkhole anomalies on our property causing ground shifting and damages to our home. LRE calmed our fears and anxiety. From the initial visit, all the way to each crew, we can't tell you enough what a wonderful, professional, knowledgeable sinkhole repair business you LRE Foundation Repair is. The job went as planned and there were no surprises. The workers came together in a few vehicles as possible, professionally dressed, and conducted themselves in a very professional yet approachable manner. They bent over backwards to make sure no neighbors' property or the street was inaccessible to the neighbors as well. We did not sustain any damages to surrounding structures and you even were able to salvage as much landscaping as possible. All questions asked during the process were answered appropriately and in a timely fashion. The crews set up their equipment daily and took everything away at the end of each day. Their cleanliness is above reproach. The crews put 100% attention to the job at hand everyday they were here. It was unfortunate the crews had to endure 30 degrees or lower temperatures, on some days, but that didn't stop their forward progress. I had to make them stop and warm up a few times being the mother hen that I am. We were so satisfied with LRE Foundation Repair and do not want you to ever hesitate to offer or phone number to prospective clients so we can answer questions they may have from the homeowners' point of view. We will never hesitate to refer your company to anyone who may be having sinkhole problems and needing repair. One last note is your warranty on the underpinning. No other company on the market can compare to your warranty, longevity in the business, high standards, and being members of the Better Business Bureau as well as industry memberships. Again, we send our heartfelt thanks to you for a job well done.

Newberry, FL

The crew professionally took care of my soil erosion problem and represented your company very well. There was no trace of their visit present afterwards. They demonstrated the importance of having done many similar jobs and in taking care of my issues. I very much appreciate the experience and capability LRE brought to bear with my soil erosion issues and am happy with the results.

Chris D.
Gainesville, FL

I really enjoyed working with LRE! From the first consultation, all through the job clean up, they team was very professional and took pride in their work. We needed to have our crawlspace treated and checked out a lot of companies that just poked their head into the space and gave me a very large estimate. At your company, Brian arrived on time and immediately went to work, spending time reviewing every corner of our crawlspace. After that, he measured our floors to determine heights and sagging areas. In less than a day, he prepared an impressive report with various approaches and options. Once we scheduled the job, Trace, our supervisor, and his team arrived on time and provided a thorough explanation about the work, what to expect in the future, and answered my MANY questions with patience. They knocked out the job in the estimated time and then let me come review their work before cleaning up. It was clear they took pride in what they did and were eager to have me give it a lookover. After having such a hard time finding support for such difficult work, I was incredibly grateful to find LRE.

Anthony R.
Dunedin, FL

I got two other quotes from other foundation repair companies, one of which offered me money if I let them store equipment on my property overnight. Your representative was very courteous and informative. The other two companies' quotes were the same as yours, so your sales representative was the reason why I chose LRE Foundation Repair. Plus, he didn't offer me any money under the table. I look for honesty in a company. It's my number one criteria.

Nicholas S.
Daytona Beach, FL

Mike Guy and his crew came and out to work on my 100-year-old house using smart jacks. They were very polite even when the city I live in messed up the inspection and didn’t show up, which cost them an entire days work. They did a lot of work in very hot conditions, and in a pretty tight crawlspace. I’m very happy.

John &.
Dunnellon, FL

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for the work your company completed in the stabilization and restoration of our home in Dunnellon. To our delight, all your crews were very professional in the work they performed and in the manner of their conduct while stabilizing and restoring our home and property. From the beginning of the process to the end, all of your personnel performed their responsibilities and duties in a very admirable manner. I have never experienced such efficiency in my lifetime, as I did in observing all the various crews and support personnel doing their jobs. Everyone we had contact with in your company were always proficient and courteous. Mike Johnson, Project Supervisor and Chris Fesler, Project Coordinator were both knowledgeable and understood what needed to be done to complete the restoration of our home. All your employees (both office personnel & field supervisors) answered our phone calls promptly and were never lacking in coming up with solutions and in answering all our questions. Kudos to your company and to your employees for a job well done. Sincerely Yours, John & Jean A. P.S. We never fail to mention your company to others who are in the situation we were in (a sinkhole) and even to those who may be in need of any type of restoration.

5 stars to all!! LRE is a great company! Matt K. was very knowledgeable and helpful with us deciding to move forward with the project. Cindy C. kept us informed regarding the permit process, the timeline, etc. Our crew, Sergio, Chris, and Jose knew exactly what they were doing and performed the job efficiently and cleanly. We were also kept informed every step of the way and would highly recommend LRE Foundation Repair to anyone for their foundation repairs.

"We feel your company personnel went above and beyond in answering all of our questions and conducted themselves with total professionalism. We especially appreciate their honesty and how very straightforward they were. We have already recommended your company to someone in our Bellview Heights Estates neighborhood who is having possible sinkhole issues."

Robert A.
Crystal River, FL

Dear Management, I want to thank you and your wonderful team for the excellent work they did on the removal and replacement of our driveway, and the manner in which they did it. They worked quietly and efficiently, everyone knowing their job and how to do it well. They didn't require excessive talking to each other; and seemed to know instinctively what had to be done and when. I was in business for 30 years and I would have been elated to have employees like yours representing my company. The paver installation was a site to behold ... there were five men, all working like a well oiled machine, delivering and laying the pavers with speed, care, and precision. They kept the construction area neat and tidy throughout the process, and cleaned up every night before leaving for the day. When they left on the last day, it looked as if there was no construction activity at all, and a new beautiful paver driveway had just miraculously appeared where our old unsightly concrete driveway had been. I would recommend your company and especially that particular team to anyone who needs to have construction work done at their home. You are welcome to give our name and number to prospective customers. Very truly yours, Robert and Carol Allen

Sue Ellen and Mike F.
Crystal River, FL

We were having problems with the ground by our seawall eroding away. We already had prior work on it by a seawall repair company and it just kept getting worse. We decided to go another route and gave LRE a try. LRE was extremely easy to work with. Our crew leader, Justin, called when they were on their way and arrived on time. He and his assistant, Shane, were very polite and asked us throughout the day if we had any questions. Justin was good about explaining the process. The noseeums were out in full-force and they worked through all the bug bites. They cleaned everything up when they were done and we couldn't even tell that they had been there at all. We are hopeful they fixed our issue and we won't have any more going forward. We would highly recommend LRE, and Justine and Shane.

Bill B.
Beverly Hills, FL

Brad was very professional and went through what was being done and how it was done every step of the way. Michael and Brad cleaned our area after the job was completed thoroughly and showed us. Then asked if there was anything else they could do to make it a better job. Of course, there was not as they are very good at what they do. We both were employers at one time and would be proud to have these 2 gentlemen as our employees.

Jane D.
Lady Lake, FL

I will happily recommend LRE to everyone, very impressed with all the employees I had contact with. The grounds were left clean and tidy every day. Excellent work! Thank you.

Art and Colleen M.
New Smyrna Beach, FL

LRE handled our drainage and foundation repair. From the first on-site assessment, to dealing with the office, and then the foundation repair itself, LRE has been professional and provided quality service! Craig and Chad worked neatly and quickly to complete the stabilization. The drainage improvements are coming next week and I have every expectation we will be satisfied with LRE. I'd recommend LRE for either of these services.

Jerry K.
Orange City, FL

The crew was phenomenal. Everything was cleaned up. We stayed with them all the time. The team leader took the time to answer all of our questions. He explained all he was doing. His helper was sweet and very nice. They both helped us understand the process. It was a wonderful experience with two professionals and very nice persons.

Sherry and Sylvia C.
Sorrento, FL

I had water coming up through the floor from standing rain at my house. I had quotes for $20k and above to "fix" the problem from other competitors using concrete injections, or other similar methods. This company [LRE] actually fixed the slab leak issue and put in drainage to keep the water away from my house. It's more than I wanted to spend, but they did an amazing job and it looks great. You can tell they know what they are doing. There's no more musty smell in the house from water sitting there anymore.

Jonathan M.
Sanford, FL

Mike and his team from LRE were amazing. They made sure that everything that was supposed to be done was done and that the project would make the floor more stable for many years to come. If I have anymore foundation issues in the future I hope Mike is still at LRE and I will be requesting him for the job.

Felice &.
Homosassa, FL

It is with great pleasure we write this testimonial for LRE My husband and I went through a few companies that actually call themselves "contractors" who took our money and left us with more problems than we started with. Then came along LRE to level our sunroom floor and fill in our pool. We are so very grateful at the expertise of this company that we wanted to thank them in this letter; salesman Tyler Harmen, foremen Tom Watson, Sub foremen Donavon Dokupol, workmen, Scot Higgins, Ryan Bourgoin and all the many men who worked here on our project that we never got to meet personally but where here working hard and always had time to greet us and answer questions. This is a remarkable company in every way. They are true professionals at all they do and if possible other contractors in this area (Citrus County) need to look at LRE's high standards and at least try picking up some good skilled practices from them. We are truly grateful to have met LRE and its outstanding group of professionals in the company. Sincerely, Jerry and Felice Rhodes 6/10/16

Chad was very thorough and explained what he and Kelvin would be doing and what to do afterwards. The cleanup was great. Everything was cleaned up and no more separation in my concrete. Zach was such a personable representative of your company. Everyone kept me informed about what was going to happen.

Max F.
Yalaha, FL

My experience with LRE, specifically Brian P. was fantastic! Having previous foundation issues at my home repaired by a now out-of-business company, I was going to do more work when a contractor suggested we get the house looked at again after finding indications it may be sinking. Our stress levels peaked worrying about the now nullified warranty, so I contacted LRE. Brian arrived on time and walked through the house with me. He listened to all of my concerns about the work that had been done previously. With his assessment, he tole me the home was in great shape and the indications pointed out by my contractor were more than likely from before the previous work on the home occurred. Brian put me at ease and showed the honesty of this company. They wouldn’t attempt to just sell a job to someone who did not need it. I can’t express how at ease I felt and how educated I was on the work completed on my home. Although I did not have work completed by LRE, if anyone ever asked for my recommendation, this would be THE company. I feel they are honest, knowledgeable, and a long-term business.

Exterior Wall Cracks in Gainesville, FL

Aran and Leann C. were growing tired of having to continuously patch and paint over cracks on their Gainesville, Florida home. Looking for a permanent solution before repainting their house, they decided to give us a call. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that the expansive clay soils under the home were causing too much movement and ultimately, settlement damage. A customized solution was designed using helical piers. Our team was able to successfully transfer the weight of the home to the helical piers, prompting those stairstep cracks to close, while leaving the home permanently stabilized. Once complete, Aran and Leann were happy to hear their problem had been solved for good - now they can finally repaint their family home.

Lifting and Leveling Concrete Walkway in Palm Coast, Florida

A section of Jacqueline's concrete walkway leading up to the front door of her home in Palm Coast, Florida, had gradually settled into the ground over time, resulting in a trip hazard between the slab and the porch. After scheduling a free inspection with LRE Foundation Repair, a Design Specialist visited her home to assess the concrete. Upon verifying that soil settlement had caused the concrete walkway to sink, the specialist informed Jacqueline that the concrete could be lifted and leveled back into its original position using PolyLevel. The LRE team injected the PolyLevel solution directly underneath the concrete slab, and within minutes, the walkway was successfully lifted back into its proper place. With the trip hazard now permanently removed, Jacqueline can finally feel relieved from the concern of potential injuries.
