How Foundation Estimates Work
An estimate comes from the specialist, written after seeing the house; we never price or bid on any job. On a visit, the specialist may walk the outside walls, look at cracks inside and out and, under a raised floor, check the piers and beams. Ask beforehand whether the visit or the estimate carries a charge. It may also turn out that what you noticed calls for nothing but watching.
Before you sign, a written estimate should show the scope; the number, type, depth and placement of any piers; whether a permit is needed and who pulls it ("Structural Repair" is one of the job types on the City's permit form); who supplies any engineer's report; the contractor's Georgia license number and the name it is under, since most home work over $2,500 calls for a state license, which you can check on the Secretary of State's licensee search; warranty terms and whether they transfer; the payment schedule; and lien waivers at the end. To get a first feel for the numbers, the cost calculator can help.

Short answers are fine, and "not sure" is a fine answer to any question. We read what you send and pass it on, so mention the foundation type if you know it, what has changed and roughly when it began.
