Olshan Foundation took my money and did shoddy work
If I could give Olshan Foundation out of Raytown, Mo., ZERO stars, I would. My experience with their product and their lack of accountability on their subpar work is appalling.
I hired Olshan in December 2023 to do foundation work for me aka install underground piers. This work resulted in at least a 1-inch gap inside my house, between the floorboards and inside walls -- on the sides of the house you did foundation work. (That gap exists along the walls of the living room and 2 bedrooms.)
Their response to the above-mentioned issue: "We've never seen anything like this." And then, NO SOLUTION.
In addition, my front stoop and steps sank after Olshan's work. They did come back and lifted my stoop in November 2024. However, the "lift" created about a 4-inch gap between the sidewalk below and the lifted stoop. That gap remains unrepaired despite my repeated requests to have it fixed.
For 2 years, I've gone back and forth with Olshan about the foundation problems they left behind. I even got a second opinion on their work from another foundation company, who says Olshan did not fix my problem and recommended more repairs. I sent this report to Olshan. NO RESPONSE.
If you are considering foundation piering, I suggest you first hire a structural engineer to see if you really need it. And if you do, don't hire Olshan unless you have $20,000-plus to burn on faulty work -- and later, stonewalling.
