Testimonials

I had a large issue in the driveway of my home. Multiple cracks. It sounded hollowed as you stomp on it in multiple areas. WHAT THEY DID:  They filled up the gaps inside. They repaired superficial cracks very well. They brought up the issue of how rain water could be coming under my driveway and causing more cracks in the future.

Just wanted to let you know that Josh and Nathan came today to take care of our driveway issues. They both did an excellent job in a very professional manner. We will definitely recommend A-1 Concrete Leveling to our friends here, should they have need of such services! Thanks again for your help and Deanne's help in resolving our driveway issues.

We needed part of our front sidewalk leveled, and also porch stairs. Rhett was on time for the estimate and thorougly explained what had to be done, and how it would be done. No rush, willing to answer any questions at all. They called and had an earlier opening than promised so we got it done even sooner than we had hoped. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable.

I know I had a lot of questions and I appreciated your patience. Your crew did a great job! I walked/crawled around before they left and it was exactly as I expected. The contractors I’ve hired so far for various projects cut a lot of corners and I wouldn’t hire any of them again. I’m glad Luis recommended A1. I will recommend you to anyone looking for foundation work as well.

So it makes perfect sense to check your Nashville home to see if you need a foundation repair service.home1

Foundation Damage and Resale Value

There is really no simple answer as to just how much foundation damage can affect your home’s value, it depends on several factors. Foundation damage affects homes differently, but most experts agree that foundation damage will reduce the value by about 10 to 15 percent. Of course, severe damage could lower the value of your home much more than that. But the main point here is that foundation damage means less money for your investment.

Repair Costs

Whether you hire a concrete contractor to fix the foundation or the new homeowners agree to foot the bill, you are the one who pays either way. Either you are paying the cost of repairs or you are reducing the price of your home to offset the expense. Now, not all is necessarily doom and gloom, repair costs for your foundation could be under a $1,000, but the average homeowner winds up spending around $3,500.

Curb Appeal

Home buyers look for houses that are safe and free from visible foundation cracks. A decreased curb appeal will scare potential buyers away and will affect the value.
