|---|---|
| Pier and beam shim adjustment, minor | Often under $2,500 |
| Pier and beam leveling with some new piers | About $2,500 to $5,000 |

What makes foundation repair cost more or less?
The biggest factor is the number of piers, since slab work is often priced per pier. Steel piers cost more than pressed concrete pilings, deeper firm soil adds material and labor, and decks, patios or interior piers add work. Rotted wood in pier and beam homes, plumbing tests, engineer reports and permits also raise the total.
- Number of piers: slab repairs are often priced per pier, so more settling means more cost
- Pier type: steel piers usually cost more per pier than pressed concrete pilings
- Depth to firm soil: deeper piers take more material and labor
- Access: decks, patios, landscaping or interior piers add work
- Wood repair: rotted beams or joists in a pier and beam house add to the job
- Extras: plumbing tests, engineer reports, drainage work and permits
How should I compare foundation repair quotes?
Compare the details, not just the total. Ask each company for the number of piers, the pier type, the warranty length and transferability, and what is excluded, such as patching or permits. A cheaper quote with half the piers is not a better deal. Get at least two opinions on larger jobs, all in writing.

Common questions
Is the quote free?
Requesting a quote through this site is free and there is no obligation. Some companies charge for engineer reports or detailed plumbing tests, and they should tell you before doing them.
Do foundation companies offer payment plans?
Many do, or work with financing companies. Ask about it when you get your quote.
Why do quotes for the same house differ so much?
Companies may recommend different pier counts, pier types or warranties. Compare those details side by side, not just the total.
Does waiting make the repair more expensive?
Often. Movement tends to continue, which can mean more piers, more cracks to patch and plumbing damage later. An early inspection costs nothing through this site.
