We had a fantastic experience with Bay Area Underpinning, lifting our foundation four and a half inches of our old 1958 Napa house! After careful review of several contractors, we chose Bay Area Underpinning and so glad we did! The entire process was smooth from the sales engineer estimate to the completion of the job, the communication was outstanding all along from day to day and ourblift was a big job with a full week of labor intensive work. I especially want to thank Foreman Cody Summers, Co-Foreman Ken Hamlin, and Installer Nikolas Klein for their outstanding work and customer service! They are the best and ensured that I was happy with the progress and completely satisfied. I also want to thank Superintendent Kevin Gaeden for his outstanding communication! My wife and I are completely satisfied and happy with the outcome! It was a great choice with great value after the job was complete! We would hire Bay Area Underpinning all over again! Thank you very much for a job well done!

I will sleep much better tonight. I noticed a crack in my foundation and called Bay Area Underpinning. Hunter came out and walked the entire property and went underneath my house. He identified one other issue that I knew about besides the crack and told me they could fix that too. I had no idea you can call structural engineers for chimneys. His quote was fair to me and you can't beat the warranty and financing.

Today Jesus Villagomes and Erick Baez came out and fixed the crack, they also looked around underneath and reassured me AGAIN that my house was in good shape. Because I caught it early they were able to fill the crack and then add a carbon fiber exposy seal. They also sealed the crack from the outside, even though they had already filled it in under the house. They were professional, answered all my questions, no matter how many and honestly were just pleasant to work with. They also explained my maintenance plan so I knew what to expect. I would absolutely recommend this entire team, to stay professionally kind in high heat is amazing.

The Chimney job is pending and again, I'm ahead of the curve and not waiting for it to get worse.

I had a great experience working with this company for my foundation needs. Their pricing was significantly lower than another bid I received, but what really stood out was the level of service and expertise. Stephen, the salesperson, was incredibly kind, honest, and knowledgeable. He took the time to educate me on my foundation issues and worked with me to come up with a solid plan to address them. I never felt pressured—just genuinely supported in making the right decision for my home. Highly recommend!

Alex Campbell and Manny E installed polymer under my foundation. They were communicative and made the whole process easy to understand. They were thorough and very clean minding not to leave any sign of their presence there. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to secure the stability of their foundation.

It's a big deal having your house lifted; truly my first time experiencing it but WOW. Not only did they do the job they came to do but they kept me informed and educated so I didn't panic when the house started moving. They came in and did a huge job and as the Foreman Luis Gutierrez said they would, they left the work area cleaner than it was when they arrived. They treated my home as if it was one of theirs. Impressed would be putting it lightly; fantastic work, spectacular people. A+

We were extremely satisfied with the service we received from Alex Campbell and Manny Erickson. The entire process was explained very thoroughly and they told us exactly what was happening throughout the process. Their setup and execution were quick and efficient. They cleaned up so as though you wouldn’t have known they were there. We hope to not have to have foundation issues in the future, but we would absolutely use this company again.

Bay Area Underpinning recently lifted my home's foundation. They had come highly recommended by a trusted family contractor; and they did not let us down. From the very start their staff was professional helpful and responsive. They sent out an estimator (Daniel) to my home who was very informative and helped me prepare a plan to correct my home's sinking foundation. The office staff (both Hanna and Shannon) were also very helpful, and provided me with a comprehensive repair contract and helped scheduled the work to meet our needs. A pre-job prep visit was also made by Jim, to ensure we were well aware of the needs and requirements of the job. The crews showed up on time and were very helpful, informative and professional. Despite the challenges of heavy rain, they worked through and ensured the job was completed without delay; in fact, it was completed ahead of schedule, and to the exact specifications they had promised. Lance, our job foreman kept me apprised of all aspects of the job and was even able to complete the work without some of the anticipated demolition; which saved costs.
Lances' experience and his hardworking crew, made the entire experience a pleasure. The concrete team followed up within two days and completed their work in one day. The quality of everyones work was fantastic.
Every crew ensured the work area was isolated and that they had as little impact to our daily routine as possible.
I highly recommend BA Underpinning to anyone in need of such services.

We’ve used Bay Area Underpinning for both parts of a two part repair project on our home in the Lamorinda area. They use the most modern techniques and do incredible work. Obviously we were not exited to spend the money on the foundation repairs but it was an absolute necessity to preserve the value of the home and reverse damage already done by the expansive soil in this area. Many of the piers went 40-50 feet deep before hitting bedrock. They were able to lift the stone fireplace with the foundation. Lance explained the process as he worked and kept us up to date on the details of lifting and leveling our home. There will always be cracks in sheet rock and cosmetic damage no matter how careful you are, but these guys were really careful in mitigating the damage and keeping it to a bare minimum. Rick, Lance, Mike and Ulises are rock solid! I hope our next home doesn’t have soil/settling problems, but if it does we are using Bay Area Underpinning.
