I had an issue under my house and friends told me about the honesty and integrity of Stable Foundation. They were correct! Their technician came out quickly and told us there was no issue to be concerned of as of now. Never tried to sell us something we did not need. Gave me suggestions and took my foundation information down in the event we needed them in the future! They would not even take any money for traveling out from Richmond to Chester. Amazing company!

We picked Stable Foundations to encapsulate our crawl space in October of 2021 based on their reputation of a locally owned business. In June of 2025, the Aprilaire Humidifier they installed wasn’t working. I called and they sent out a crew the same day to look at the unit and assess the situation. The following day they repaired the unit, that was under warranty, at no cost to us. Both during the installation process and the recent repair, Jesse, Vernon, and the crew were responsive, kept me updated, and made sure that I was satisfied when the job was completed. Great group of people and glad we picked them for the job.

Normally you leave a review when somebody performs a service, and Stable Foundations did not, but their honesty should be recognized. Doug took a lot of time to walk over my property, inside and out. He likely could have raised concerns for me and sold me on services that I didn’t need, but he simply educated me and told me what to look out for. He assured me the property was just fine right now and was also very helpful in recommending other contractors for other items which I requested. When I have a need in the future, I’ll be working with this group.

The employee's were very polite and helpful. They did a wonderful job renewing my crawls space. Cudos to Jesse, Ivan and Tatoo. Also, Stephen did the estimate and he was wonderful. I decided to go with this company because Stephen did not give a long drawn out sales pitch. Instead he was to the point and provided me with estimates. I would use this company again if there are future issues. Plus the price was great. I had three other estimates and they were way overpriced. Keep up the great work at Stable Foundations.

We asked Stable Foundations to assess some moisture in our basement that was causing us concern. Zach showed up right on time and quickly eased our fears by giving us a science-based explanation of why our situation was not only normal, but easily correctable with a few simple fixes on our end, which he walked us through one by one. It really says a lot about a company that doesn’t try to upsell you on services you don’t need. It says even more when they give you advice and confidence as a homeowner to do it yourself. We didn’t need to hire Stable Foundations this time, but they will be the first company we call in the future if we ever need help with our foundation.

Received some bad news about my crawl space a couple of weeks ago. Reached out to the Internet for a second opinion.Stable Foundations provided wonderful service. Scheduled appointment using phone and Stephen arrived on time. He generated a diagram of the crawl space while taking photos to review with me.Very professional and appreciative!

Scheduled a foundation inspection after we noticed a crack in the brick veneer. The scheduling process was easy. Zach arrived on time and was very professional and polite. Of the 3 foundation companies who came out to inspect, Stable Foundations was the only one to look beyond the exterior of the home and go in the crawlspace to look at the foundation. Instead of quoting us for unnecessary costly foundation repairs like the other companies, he told us that the only repairs needed were to the brick veneer because he found no signs of damage to the actual foundation. Thank you Zach for giving an honest full inspection! If we need foundation repairs or other crawlspace services in the future, we will definitely call Stable Foundations.

We have had ongoinging issues with our foundation for several years. A mutual friend suggested that we try Stable Foundations to see if they could help us.They certainly did help us! Scott was very thorough when he came out to inspect the foundation. He uncovered many construction faux pas' that we couldn't believe would have been left as they were. He has a great eye for detail and is very conscientious. We ended up shoring up the foundation and would recommend Scott and his company for any of your foundational concerns/needs.Reasonable prices for his solid work.Gary

What a great company, from the people to the work performed. They took their time explaining the options in replacing a section of our center beam and using a helical pier system. The work was done on time and at quoted price. Most importantly, all of the workers were friendly, experienced and professional.

We had a chronic basement leak in a small area - 10-15 feet of 1930s brick foundation that we tried to fix by deflecting runoff etc, until we realized plant roots had penetrated the brick joints - and on a friend’s recommendation we contacted Stable Foundations. We’d already started digging down a bit to add hydraulic cement to seal the leaks, plus add a French drain. Zach was available within a week to have a look, and he was very understanding and informative, was complimentary of our approach and didn’t try to sell us on an expensive solution, just offered great advice, and said if that doesn’t work to let him know if we needed more help. His advice was great, and we’re optimistic we won’t need the “Big Dig” option … fingers crossed, and appreciate his advice … and Sam was wonderful help setting up an assessment!

I couldn’t be happier with the crawl space encapsulation service I received! From start to finish, the entire process was handled with professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail. The team arrived on time, explained every step of the process, and worked efficiently to complete the job without cutting corners.Before the encapsulation, my crawl space was damp, musty, and contributing to poor air quality in my home. Now, it’s clean, sealed, and dry — the difference is incredible! The vapor barrier they installed is high-quality and durable, and they even added a dehumidifier to ensure long-term moisture control.Since the encapsulation, I’ve noticed improved air quality, reduced humidity indoors, and even lower energy bills. It feels great knowing the structure of my home is better protected from mold, pests, and moisture damage.If you’re on the fence about encapsulating your crawl space, don’t wait. This was one of the best home improvement investments I’ve ever made. Highly recommended!

Great service started with Stephen when he initially came out for the inspection of our crawl space. He provided a detailed explanation of what we needed and what we didn't need. It continued with Fernando and his crew, with the wood repair that needed to be done. Once the wood was repaired, Jesse and his crew continued the great service taking care of the mold abatement, encapsulation, light system and dehumidifier. There was a constant open line of communication with each step. The work is beyond amazing and every individual was respectful and kind.

From the transparent estimate process with Doug to the project being totally complete incredibly fast and beyond expectations by Jesse and his team, Stable Foundations is the kind of home project partner you wish you had for all of your projects. They were incredibly communicative, collaborative, and thorough, and their work was outstanding. They made creative solutions to make up for previous project mistakes, and still were finished ahead of schedule even with the added work. Truly great work!

We began noticing things in the kitchen that could be related to foundation issues such as cabinets pulling away from the ceiling, drywall cracks, and unlevel countertops. We were hesitant to call any companies to have an inspection due to a bad experience with a company that tried to use fear as a tactic to get work.We saw a commercial for Stable Foundations on tv and after doing some research decided to schedule an appointment. Doug was the technician assigned to perform the inspection. He called that morning to let us know he could arrive early if we were available. Once he arrived, we showed him the areas that we were concerned with. At first glance, he mentioned that these could definitely be signs of foundation issues but he would wait to make that judgement until after he performed the inspection of our crawlspace.Once Doug completed his inspection he informed us that he didn't think our foundation was causing the problems with the cabinets, drywall, and countertop. He pointed out a couple of things that we can keep an eye on in the crawlspace and even went over in detail what solutions could be implemented. In the end, he thought we would be best served to spend our money to fix the cabinets, drywall, and countertop.We let him know how relieved we were that it wasn't a major foundation issue. We also explained to him about our past experience and he said he totally understood the hesitancy to go through that again. He mentioned that Stable Foundations will never use fear as a tactic to get work. He said the company believes in being honest and up front with all customers.I can't say enough great things about Doug. He listened to all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. He really put our minds at ease through the whole process. While we didn't have any work done at this time, we will definitely call Stable Foundations first if we ever need foundation work done. Doug is a big reason for that.Thanks Doug!

Technician was timely, courteous and very professional. He spent considerable time examining the foundation. He was honest in saying there was no problem that required immediate attention but said he saw wood damage and suggested I immediately get a termite inspection.

I was ready to insulate my attic floor, but after taking time to evaluate the space, the technician said insulation was unnecessary. He was clear and patient explaining why the attic was fine as it was. Highly recommend this honest company.
