No. For pier and beam foundations, we charge a $200 inspection fee for properties located within the DFW metroplex. This fee is fully reimbursed if you decide to hire us to complete the repair.
Because our inspectors need to check the crawl space in order to evaluate the condition of multiple foundation components such as joists, beams, piers, sill plates, and other.
This is a more extensive inspection than a standard slab foundation and typically takes longer to complete. Some crawl spaces are very tight, making access and movement more difficult, and several factors can increase the level of complexity involved.
Pier and beam repairs also tend to be more costly, and we understand that not every homeowner is prepared to make that level of investment. This thorough inspection allows us to provide accurate findings and recommendations before any major decisions are made.
Pier and beam foundations include multiple components, which can make the price range very wide. Factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the wood, moisture levels, and overall accessibility can significantly affect the final cost.
Based on our experience, pier and beam repairs typically range between $14,000 and $35,000, and in some cases, the cost may be higher depending on the condition of the structure.
Because we focus on real solutions. Pier and beam foundations require more maintenance than slab. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause of your foundation problem, repair the already damaged areas, and provide clear guidance on how to correct the issue that caused the problem in the first place so it doesn’t happen again.
