I have a 1960 brick ranch home in the Denver area with a sagging attached 1 car garage. This includes step cracks in the bricks and gaps in door frames, etc. I have an Engineer's repair design that calls for the installation of 5 steel helical peirs.
One company wants to go by the book and use the design to pull permits and fix to specifications. They want around 8500 to install steel helical peers and re-level.
The other company doesn't plan to pull permits or use the repair design. They are unlicensed and uninsured, but get excellent reviews on Google, Facebook, etc. They want to charge 4200. Their method will be to install concrete piers and pour concrete and install rebar in between. They said they'd take some of the excess dirt to build up some areas near the foundation that slope into the house.
Which one should i go with?
