Common Questions
Cost and Timing Questions
What does a foundation repair estimate include?
What we found, the likely cause, the recommended repair, and a written price. For structural work it also notes the engineering, since New Jersey generally requires plans sealed by a licensed New Jersey engineer or architect, and the permit, which Newark bills at $28 per $1,000 of estimated construction cost up to $50,000.
How long does foundation repair take?
Crack injection often takes a day. Interior drains take a few days. Structural work takes longer because the engineer's plan and the city's plan review come first, with a 20% plan-review fee due at application and credited against the final permit fee. You get a timeline with the estimate.
What protections do I have when I hire a contractor?
New Jersey requires a written contract for any job over $500 and a right to cancel before midnight of the third business day. Check the HIC registration too: a 13-character number starting with 13VH, checkable at newjersey.mylicense.com.
When is the best time for foundation work?
Interior work runs all year. northern New Jersey sees more freeze-thaw cycling than the shore, so exterior digging and concrete work are easier to schedule outside the hardest freezes. A leaking crack is worth sealing before winter, since freezing water widens it.
