I contacted a number of places and got a number of estimates for having my foundation lifted and stabilized.

I had previously had another company install two piers to fix a settling problem after the big flood of 2010 in Clarksville but they failed. Since the bedrock is over thirty feet below grade under my house, they just gave up, incorrectly installed two helicals and called it done. It wasn't long before I was sinking again. TFS didn't give up, they kept going until they actually got to the bedrock and now my house is PROPERLY stable and I don't have to worry about any more sinking.

TFS was not cheap, but it wasn't the most expensive estimate that I got either, and they gave me more than the highest cost bid PLUS the inspector who came to assess my house found problems that other company reps didn't, and that I didn't even know were there. I had no idea that the far wall was actually starting to bow outwards! He took the time to actually SHOW me the problems he found and explain them, instead of just expecting me to take his word for it like other company reps had done.

Yes they did request that my husband be present for the inspection, but that's them wanting to provide everyone who owns the house all the information and address questions or concerns anyone might have. When I told them that was not possible for my husband to be present, it was completely not an issue. Like any company, sure they employ many different sales tactics because of course they want your business. In my opinion, unless you know you've found better, you should give it to them.

Edit: I was looking over the other reviews before choosing of course, and saw every negative rating was given by someone who never actually had this company do any work for them! Lol
