What Homeowners in Kyle, Buda, and Hays County Should Know...

Foundation issues can be one of the most stressful parts of owning or buying a home. One of the biggest things we try to do for our clients in Kyle, Buda, and across Hays County is simply make sure you understand your options.

If you are thinking about having your foundation looked at, here are three common routes you can take.

The first option is to call a foundation repair company. In many cases, they will come out at no cost and take a look at the home. The benefit here is that it is quick and free. The downside is that these companies are often sales driven, so their recommendations may lean toward repairs.

The second option is to contact Foundation Guru. This can be a good middle ground. They provide an impartial opinion and are not tied to repair work. The tradeoff is that there is a fee for their service, and they typically do not make specific repair recommendations.

The third option is hiring a foundation engineer. This is the most detailed and technical evaluation. Engineers do not perform repairs, so their opinion is unbiased. However, they often look at things from a perfection standpoint, which can sometimes lead to recommendations that go beyond what is practically necessary. This option also comes with a higher cost, usually ranging from $400 to $1,000.

At the end of the day, there is no one size fits all answer. Every home and every situation is different.

Our role at The Alexander Home Team is to help you understand your options so you can make the best decision for you and your family.
