Power Lift: about $1,000 per pier on a recent job; the engineer's recommended companies came in below Ram Jack.
Power lift was about $1000 per pier for ones we had done recently. Our structural engineer gave us a list of a few he recommended and they were more competitive than ram jack
- 02
The $12,000 quote in detail: 7 hydraulic lifts outside plus 12 screw jacks in the crawl space; another $5,000 - 7,000 if the crawl space needs digging or an HVAC duct moves; porch concrete drill-out not included.
The $12k was for 7 hydraulic lifts around the eastern outside and 12 screw jacks in the craw space basically in the center of the house. Price could go up by another $5-7k if they have to dig any of the crawl space or move hvac duct. Also one of the outside piers will require drilling out 2'x2' of my front concrete porch, which the previous owner actually tiled over. Ramjack won't replace the tile..
- 03
Ram Jack initial quote $12,000 - 20,000 for a pier-and-beam crawl-space home with earthquake-related cracking; a structural engineer had looked at it during the purchase.
Bought a house back in late September and after those couple little earthquakes, realized some cracking was happening that seems to have been previously patched. Did have a structural engineer during the buying process who recommended some eventual repairs. Pier and beam crawl space home. Had ramjack come out with an initial quote or $12-20k. [...]

Oklahoma Foundation Solutions landed at the low end of the $12,000 - 20,000 band; Vesta 'pricey.'
Used Oklahoma foundation solutions. Price was on the low end of your quote. Vesta is another option but they are pricey af
- 05
Vesta quote: about $20,000 for 3 piers and over $100,000 for the whole house (a reply in the thread confirms the company).
This. We got a quote from them and to put like 3 piers it was $20k and over $100k for the entire house. Insane prices. I'm sure they do great work, but those prices were insane.
- 06
$2,000 for 6 posts on one side, the cheapest of the quotes received.
$2,000 for 6 posts. One side
- 07
The same job priced about $6,000 in 2023 against $2,000 originally; about 15 - 18 feet of footage.
$2,000 was the cheapest quote we got. I've heard it's about $6,000 now for what we had done. For the footage, it was about 15 or 18 feet.
- 08
Vesta quote: $58,000 for half the house, $89,000 for all of it (about 2019); went with Ram Jack as the cheapest, no problems four years on.
Stay away from Vesta unless you wanna take out another mortgage on your house. We called them to get a quote. To do half of the house was going to be $58,000 and to do the entire house was going to be $89,000. We do not live in a rich area, and the house isn't worth what they wanted to charge. They gave us an hour PowerPoint presentation on why they were the beat. [...]
- 09
Three quotes on the same house: over $10,000 in steel I-beams, about half that in wood, and 'the house is done settling, do nothing.'
Get more than one quote. I had one company say they need to sink new pillars and bring in steel I beams and quoted me over ten thousand. Another company said wood and quoted me half as much. Another company said the house was done settling and I didn't need to do anything.
- 10
Oklahoma soil context: a full pier-and-beam redo $10,000 - 20,000 against a slab foundation fix $50,000 - 100,000; neither fixes shifting soil.
The shifting soil is the reason you have pier and beam and not concrete slab foundation. The key difference is that you can pay 10-20k to completely re-do your pier and beam foundation. Fixing a concrete slab foundation can easily be between 50-100k. Neither foundation type "fixes" a shifting soil problem, there's really nothing to be done about that.
- 11
One company quoted more than $20,000 for two pilings; this company's rep said the homeowner only needed a mason for a couple hundred dollars.
So a couple hundred dollars vs $20,000+ - one easy decision.
- 12
Told by another company she needed over $40,000 of repairs, the homeowner says this company's inspector found no foundation issues at all.
We had been told by another company that we needed over $40,000 worth of repairs but Chuck explained there was actually no signs of foundation issues

A long-time customer describes $3,058.79 in late fees added to a $9,075 invoice after one missed due date.
$3,058.79 in fees on a $9,075 invoice.
- 14
The homeowner says the quoted price jumped by several thousand dollars once the job was underway.
Quote one price than RAM up several thousand dollars after they start the job.
- 15
Another company blamed an earthquake and quoted $58,650; this company's rep said it was only a lintel sag over the garage and the homeowner just needed a brick mason.
said it was caused by earthquake and the whole house was off kilter and wanted $58,650.00 to fix it.

A specific completed small job: a five-pier repair on a newly purchased home, with a fair estimate and prompt scheduling.
We purchased a home that needed 5 piers. Joey quickly responded to my inquiry with a fair estimate
Engineer fees and documented cases
What an independent structural engineer's report cost, and the cases where the engineer's answer differed from the free inspection.
- 17
Engineer fee: about $200 for the inspection and summary plus about $200 for the detailed report (Gary McCracken, Metro Engineering).
Gary McCracken with Metro Engineering did fine work. Nice guy; makes things easy to understand. Not sure what his prices are now, but when I used him, it was just shy of $200 for the inspection and summary and another $200 for the detailed report, diagram, etc.
- 18
Engineer-first advice: companies pier even when it is unnecessary; Hill Engineering named for unbiased reports.
If you can swing it I would recommend getting a structural engineer's evaluation done before calling a foundation guy. Most foundation companies will want to pier even if it isn't necessary because they make more money. Hill Engineering will give you an unbiased and thorough report.
- 19
The engineer in the $500 story: ZFI Engineering on South Walker, in 2015.
It was ZFI engineering on south Walker. I looked on their site and the engineer that did the inspection isn't listed anymore but he might've retired (this was in 2015).
- 20
Two companies quoted 'outrageous numbers'; a licensed structural engineer billed 1.5 hours and the fixes he recommended cost about $500 total. The thread's top-voted comment.
If you haven't already, I recommend having a structural engineer with a PE license look at your home before going to the foundation repair company. I had what I thought was a "foundation issue" and two different companies quoted me some outrageous numbers to do repairs cuz "your house is sinking rapidly!" I contacted a structural engineer and paid him 1.5hrs of his time and the recommendations he gave me to stop the movement of my house cost me about $500 [...]
- 21
Caveat: a Texas homeowner, cited as a pattern only. A 'free' inspection quoted $100,000+; a $500 engineer found under an inch of variance and no repair needed.
This right here. We had a "free" guy look at our house and quote over 100k for repairs... Went out and hired and engineer on our expense, about 500 dollars. Less than an inch of height difference from one side of the house to the other. Absolutely no reason to mess with the foundation. We were concerned because we do have cracks in the dryway in a few places that come and go. [...]
- 22
Structural engineer about $400 (a few years before 2021): 'piers are so expensive, you don't want to pay for more than is necessary.'
This was a few years ago, but I think it was $400. The price has probably gone up. I think it was money well spent because the piers are so expensive and you don't want to pay for more than is necessary. The engineer I used has since died, so I can't recommend an engineer for you to use.
- 23
Triton's bid came within one pier of the engineer's spec; two other companies wanted many more piers.
I would recommend Triton Foundation Repair. I paid for a structural engineer prior to getting bids. Triton was within one pier of what the engineer said I needed. (The engineer had inspected my house a year prior, so the foundation could have shifted a little more.) Two others wanted to charge me for many more piers. I was pleased with the work done.
- 24
An independent engineer found no piers were needed; once the house went under contract the pier company said seven. The homeowner's takeaway: a pier company will recommend piers.
He said, "imagine a pier company recommending piers."
- 25
The rep pointed the homeowner to an engineer and saved them money while competitors quoted as much as $30,000.
He saved my family a lot of money by recommending an engineer while competitors quoted us as much as $30k
- 26
Facing an $8,450 quote for 13 piers pushed during a home sale, the homeowner hired a builder and a licensed structural engineer, who both found no damage and no piers needed.
I decided to have 3rd and 4th opinions and hired a house builder and a licensed Structure Engineer to assess the house thoroughly. Both reports confirmed no damages at all and recommended no piers needed.
- 27
The contract promised steel piers per the engineer's report; the homeowner says she got concrete instead, and seven other companies confirmed the piers had failed. Her advice: hire a structural engineer to reinspect before the piers are covered.
Do your homework and hire a structural engineer allowing them to reinspect before the piers are covered.
- 28
The homeowner says the company's competitive quote and expertise saved them from installing more piers than they needed.
Their pricing was very competitive, but their expertise saved me from installing more piers than I needed.
- 29
The homeowner says the company was honest that the wall cracks were not foundation-related; only the garage needed piers.
Triton was honest about the cracks in our house not being foundation related. We only needed piers on the garage.
- 30
The homeowner says the company checked the foundation, said it was in good shape, and did not push unnecessary work.
They didn't give me a hard sell on unnecessary work!

Patriot Foundations, months after the job: work held up, photo-documented for the lender, interior alignment checked as they went.
Their work has been great. I haven't crawled under our foundation to check but all the photos they took of the work to submit to our loan officers looked great. They took care to consistently check inside our home to make sure nothing was out of alignment
- 32
Patriot Foundations: the owner, Joey, 'great so far' (the thread's original poster, 2025).
Patriot Foundations. Joey (the owner) has been great so far

Triton: 'prices are very reasonable.'
I really like Triton foundation. Their prices are very reasonable
- 34
Ram Jack and Power Lift called the best in the state for warranty longevity (Apr 2025).
Heard from some reliable, knowledgable folks say that RAM Jack & Power Jack are the best in the State bc they have been in business the longest, so their warranty means something. I think 1 of the 2 lets you transfer your warranty to the other, but not totally sure. Not sure if its too late to consider them? Some folks review Google and FB ratings. [...]

Ram Jack backed out of a job without warning (one of three such reports in the thread, Apr 2025).

Oklahoma Foundation Solutions, used a few dozen times over the years: piers plus foam injection, lifetime warranty.
Oklahoma Foundation Solutions. Used them a few dozen times over the years. Would highly recommend. They do piers and foam injections. Lifetime warranty. Never heard of patriot, but then again I haven't looked for another foundation company in 5 years
- 37
Vesta complaint: a lifetime warranty later tied to a monthly fee; no-shows and staffing problems.
I felt the same and that's why I initially went with them. They told.me lifetime warranty then later said i needed some monthly fee to keep the warranty. Had lots of staffing issues with them. No responses, no shows to appts, etc. I just regret using them so much.
- 38
Oklahoma Foundation Solutions' bid matched the structural engineer's report; no upsell, no lowball.
Oklahoma Foundation Solutions, by far, will treat you fairly. I liked them because their primary focus was on what I needed. They weren't trying to upsell or include add-ons, AND they weren't under-bidding and telling me what I wanted to hear just to get me to sign up with them. Some companies will bid low, and then once they get their foot in the door, they'll try to sell you more or even say you have to have more. [...]
- 39
Ram Jack 'notoriously high'; Triton well below other quotes on two houses and recommended less work.
Ram Jack is notoriously high. Might try triton foundation and repair. I've had them work on the two houses I have owned and both were well below other quotes. They also recommended a lot less than the others who seemed to recommend everything under the sun.

Oklahoma Foundation Solutions (Mustang): worked well and 'weren't too expensive' (Dec 2023).
We used Oklahoma foundation solutions out of Mustang and they worked really well and weren't too expensive.
- 41
A house flipper who uses Oklahoma Foundation Solutions exclusively: 'always honest,' 'never price gouging.'
oklahoma foundation solutions. we flip a lot of houses and use them exclusively. always honest and thorough. never price gouging either.
- 42
On a third opinion for quotes, the homeowner says this company pushed for far more work than anyone else.
This was our third opinion for quotes & they pushed for way more than anyone else.
- 43
The homeowner says that after paying for the recommended work, the company pointed to a $7,000 add-on rather than honoring its lifetime warranty.
instead of honoring their "Lifetime warranty" they will tell you that you need additional ($7K) work done.
- 44
After buying 8 piers and then 5 more, the homeowner says the cracking and stuck doors came back.
We bought 8 piers then 5 more and thought and was told it was going to fix the problems, like doors being stuck close and detachments etc...but we are right back where we started.
- 45
After four estimates, the homeowner says they thought the house was being leveled, and only learned afterward that the plan was stabilization, not leveling.
keep in mind the entire time i thought they were leveling our house. The 3 concerns we had did not get fixed.
- 46
The homeowner says the crew broke an underground AC condenser line during the foundation work, a $5,000 problem.
In the process of them fixing the foundation they broke the condenser line underground for my AC unit and caused an $5000 problem.
- 47
A three-hour sales visit ended in a $9,000 quote for a house the homeowner says did not need foundation repair.
We don't even need foundation repair to fix our issue so he was trying to scam us.
- 48
Initial service was good, but the homeowner describes weeks of silence on the warranty follow-up.
Vesta's follow through with warranty service has been disappointing. I need to contact Vesta continually for follow-up, and ask them to do what they agreed to do.
- 49
A positive job: the crew raised a corner of the house an inch and installed new floor supports in a few hours, with a be-careful-with-your-floor caveat on the follow-up.
In only 3-4 hours they raised a corner of my house an entire inch AND installed all new floor supports and beams.
- 50
An on-time quote, then eleven days of silence despite follow-up texts.
He said they would contact me that day or the next. That was 11 days ago.
