I contacted multiple companies to evaluate a foundation issue on my parents home. After speaking with all three companies after the evaluation and quotes were given, I had several technical conversations with all 3. The more I questioned the low bidder the more generic and unsure his answers became. The high bidder, who was well known and advertises everywhere, it became obvious that they were overselling. The structural damage evidence didn't exist in areas they insisted needed to be repaired. Ground Up answered all of my questions with confident detailed answers and didn't try to sell us on repairs in areas that didn't need it. They were not the lowest bidder or the highest, but they were the best company for the job. Ground Up handled the structural issue and a mold issue with professionalism and solid confident repair work. I would recomend them to anyone needing this service.

I highly recommendation Ground Up Foundation Repair, they finished the project on time with no surprises and even added an extra extension line without charging extra. I evaluated four companies in the area before selecting and made the right choice. The crew was friendly, respectful and communicated through-out the entire process. I would definitely use them again.

I had a great experience with the Ground Up Foundation crew. This company honored a warranty on some work done to my home years ago. They not only honored the warranty but exceeded my expectations. The crew that worked on my property were very professional and respectful to myself and my family and we value that. They repaired a sinking front porch slab and even rerouted water away from the property. Thank you Ground Up for honoring the warranty, being professional and taking good care of my property. I’ll definitely call Ground Up if I need anything foundation related in the future. I highly recommend!

We had a wall separation foundation issue under our home. Ground Up came out quickly to inspect, provided a thorough assessment and a competitive bid. Their work remedied our foundation complete with a transferable warranty. Communication and updates were great! I would highly recommend.

Cory and Zach from Ground Up Foundation repair just left our property. They were very professional and gave me an honest price while explaining the scope of work needed. It was obvious that they knew what they were talking about. I would say, experts in their field.

My partner and I were recommended by a good friend (a home inspector in Nashville) to call Ground Up during our inspection period on a home in Bell Buckle, TN. Ms. Stacie is wonderful with communicating and providing information along the way and getting work scheduled, she was beyond helpful to us from start to finish. Cory is the VP of Design and Development and he coordinated on site with our structural engineer (old house, 1900). Cory did his own inspection as well and made a thorough map of the foundation and presented well informed repair recommendations. Additionally, Cory was able to break that map down further, at our request, and guide us towards the most urgent priorities to help phase the scope of needed work to be within our limited budget. And through it all, Ms. Stacie continued availability to make the plan perfect for us. Highly recommend Ground Up as a top tier, local and established company for structural and foundation repair! They are responsive and organized and kind and honest and will get quotes quickly, with thorough work completed the correct way. Five Stars

My wife and I purchased an older ranch home in Nashville last fall that needed some serious foundation work. We obtained quotes from a number of different companies but went with Ground Up based on their stellar reputation (multiple realtors suggested them to us), pricing, and our experience with Jason Tracey. We had a fantastic experience. Foundation is in much better shape than before and Jason was incredibly helpful / communicated throughout the entire process. I would use them again!
