We have an old house on a hill, which has a lot of underground streams. Over the years the soil under our foundation has destabilized, causing one side of the house to sink. We talked to a lot of foundation contractors, but it was Matvey that really impressed us. Their attention to detail, and proper approaches (including engineering reports, load calculations etc) was fantastic and reassuring. They worked with the city to push through permitting, and kept us well updated on that process. The solution we needed was metal support piles under the foundation on one side of the house. Marco and Eduardo, the install team, were amazing. Really knowledgeable, friendly and great workers. They did an awesome job of installing the foundation supports, and left the area they were working in cleaner than before they came. Matvey were not the cheapest quote we got – but we felt that their approach was the best, and most thought out. I’d also argue your house foundation isn’t an area to cheap out on 🙂

My experience with Matvey exceeded my expectations. From Matthew's very detailed accounting of repairs for our sunken walkway to Eli's brilliant workmanship of making things perfect, we are so pleased with the end result. Matthew was very patient as I asked questions regarding the repairs and was very informative on the process. Eli took time to make sure that everything was done to perfection and he did a great job of cleaning up afterward. Thank you so much!
