Testimonials

Believe the hype- because it’s not just hype! All these 5 star reviews are for a reason. I had a flip house that was closing shortly and no one could get out to do the work. I explained to Terry my situation and he worked himself nearly to death to make it happen! He even finished ahead of time! He is as honest as the day is long and I cannot recommend him enough! He restored my faith in craftsmen as he really embodies the old way of doing things where people have pride in their work- that’s seems mighty hard to find these days but if you’re looking for it- look no further than Skillful Construction. Very very pleased and will not hesitate to call them again when I need help. Seriously.

Terry at Skillful foundation was awesome! He had come recommended by a friend and after meeting him, I could totally see why! He was able to make it over within a day or two of me calling him, he took the time to explain everything he was doing/measuring and what those measurements mean, and at the end of the appointment gave me several tips on how to keep my foundation healthy. I felt he was very honest, knowledgeable, and a true professional who cared about what he was doing and wasn’t just out to get my money. I will ALWAYS recommend him to others and would work with him again in the future.

Terry came highly recommended from our realtor and he did not disappoint. Terry came out to Blanco on short notice and did a thorough evaluation of the property we were thinking about buying. He provided a very reasonable written proposal and quote on the same day. We didn’t buy the house, in part because of the foundation issues identified by Terry, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again and to use his company for the work should it be necessary in the future.
JEFF WATTS
Terry was quick to respond and given the urgent nature of our need to have the foundation assessed as part of a real estate transaction, he managed to slot us in the very next day. Communication was great and he took the time to explain thoroughly the equipment and process! I would not hesitate to call him again if the need arose!
LYDIA MCEVOY
Terry gave us a great bid based on a solid assessment of our foundation issues. His crew, led by Edward, was polite, efficient and did great work; they finished well within the predicted one day window. Our house is now level and we are very happy.
MARY CROW
Terry came out and checked the foundation of a home we were thinking of buying. He took the time to explain everything in detail. Beyond great customer service.
JOSEPH MARTINEZ
I called several places to get quotes to have our foundation stabilized. Actually talked to Terry and not some answering service. He was able to come out within a couple of days and instead of weeks like some of the others. He stated up front that there would be a $100 fee for him coming out and determining what needed to be done and supply a quote. This fee is totally worth the price! At first I was put off by this but after he arrived I could tell he knew what he was doing and not just some sales person. Before leaving he explained what needed to be done, how they would do it, and how long it would take to complete. And better still he suggested an alternative due to our specific issues and recommended we wait 4-6 months to see if there would be anymore movement and if not there probably will be no need to have any work done. This was very beneficial and unexpected. I highly recommend his company.

I was a bit skeptical when Mr Gregory showed up for my estimate. The other companies had fancy uniforms and trucks and I was inexperienced with foundation repair. He gave me an estimate that was a little more than half of what others were charging and it included more work than the competitors. We asked to be scheduled and 12 days later we were confirmed. The 3 man crew arrived at 9 the next morning. Edward was GREAT! He explained the current condition of the foundation and showed me in the crawl space, he explained the parts they would install and how they install it and why. The first day, the guys built block stations and installed 3 more beams with new piers. The second day they went down each joist and block station leveling to within 1/10”. When they were through and cleaning up I asked Ed to show me the readings of how level each room was, and he was happy to show and explain it all to me. There were several sections that had settled. I got nervous like maybe they would get upset bc we noticed spots that settled, but he was super kind and the boys got right back to work. It took another hour and some extra materials to fix the spots, but they did all of that with smiles on their faces. The house is now level, and we are super happy. The company has a very “small-town” small business feel, and that makes me feel more at ease. I will call them in 8 months for another adjustment (part of the guarantee). These guys have been so kind and great. They are knowledgeable, respectful of the house and our life (we have a baby that needed naps that they worked around). Thank you guys at Skillful, you did good work, made us laugh, and have earned yr 5 Stars boys!

Very glad I chose Skillful Foundation Repair for the repairs on my house. Terry’s estimate was very fair. They located the underground lines, the piers were installed as agreed, the crew was careful with my beloved plants and yard, and they were very professional and respectful of my family and my property. If I had questions or concerns Terry was able to answer and make suggestions in preserving the foundation. They had a very experienced and knowledgeable crew leader present at all times. They provided a current certificate of insurance with no hesitation as requested. The contract was clearly stated. After having interviewed several foundation repair companies, I am very happy with my choice as they have done exactly what they said they would do. The foundation was lifted and stabilized and my house has experienced no subsequent damages. I am SO glad I found them and am so relieved I can now sleep at night knowing this job was completed properly.
NORMA SALINAS
The people at Skillful Construction are professional and great craftsmen. Terry was very helpful with his knowledge and answered all my questions without the sales pitch. At first I was skeptical because this is the second time I have to fix the foundation. Terry began to earn my trust when he got under the house with me and pointed out the mistakes of the previous contractor. He was honest about the cost and reassured me the mistakes would be corrected in the best possible way. I got a good vibe talking to him. My wife and I are very impressed and satisfied with the result of the foundation. I respect the attention to the quality Ed and his associates produced. The work they did is solid and I can feel the difference. They definitely know what they are doing.

We bought a home in the historic Lavaca neighborhood that had an unfinished casita. In our process of finishing out that structure for my dad our engineer required adding 16 new 12″ concrete piers and one 12″ steel I-Beam. Skillful also added floor joists so it was 12″ on center. We interviewed five companies and chose Skillfull based on reviews, price and project timeline. Terry, Daniel and his team took two weeks total. We ran into some things we were not expecting but the team rolled with the punches. They did a great job and the engineer was impressed with their work. Thanks!
DEREK GISRIEL
Mr. Terry and his crew were responsive and helped us in a tough situation. More specifically, we learned of a foundation issue that needed immediate repair. Mr. Terry came out himself and developed a plan to help us solve our problem. His crew, Ed and Dustin, were amazing. They came out the next day and got to work. I can’t say enough about Ed and Dustin and Mr. Terry. They have my future business and I will definitely recommend them to others.
KIRK WAGNER
Had some reservations about a house optioned on, considering a report, that showed issues, which would have most likely put this house on a “no list” for sure, Terry came out , and within an hour, had taken a digital reading on every room , while we, got a crash course on foundations. Bottom line, the info we received in the earlier report was false, and we are now in a position to negotiate, a more accurate offer. Best $100.00 we ever spent for sure, Skillful got our attention today, as a honest, incredibly knowledgable, company, refreshing !
RODGER GARRETT
Terry rocks. Dudes rock. He inspected the foundation of my home and ensured it was level prior to my purchase of it, and gave me advice on how to make sure water won’t affect the foundation in the future.
MATTHEW WESTON
Arrived early, very friendly, walked me through every step of evaluating the foundation. Well worth $100. Recommended!
