The 3 Best Foundation Repair Companies in Central Kentucky*

*Including Lexington, Lancaster, & Bowling Green

If you’re reading this, you probably have some concerns about your home’s foundation.  Whether you have cracks in the foundation, signs of settling, or a bowing wall, you need to have it repaired.  And you want someone knowledgeable, reputable, and trustworthy.

Acculevel has been repairing foundations since Andy Beery founded the company in 1996.  We have served thousands of customers in central Kentucky, and would be happy to help you as well.  But we also recognize that you might want to get a second opinion; in some situations (like with insurance), it may even be required.  Foundation repair can sometimes be a little scary and hard to understand, and this is where we want to help you.  

How Do You Choose a Good Contractor?

That being said, we do want you to be particular in your choice of repair company.  We’ve compiled a list of the five best companies in central Kentucky, using the following criteria:

1. Highly rated and reviewed exclusively from 3rd party sources.
2. Reviewed across multiple platforms: Angie’s List, Home Advisor, Google, Yahoo, Yelp, etc.
3. Verified through the Better Business Bureau that they have been in business for a minimum of 10 years.
4. Provides service to over half of the region specified.
5. Any company currently going through bankruptcy was disqualified.  

An explanation for the third item on our list: this is based on statistics and general business practices.  On average, a homeowner spends 13.3 years in a house.  When someone starts a business, over 70% of them fail within the first 10 years.  We do not want to suggest a service provider that may not be in business long enough to enforce their warranties, however long those might be.  

Many of the warranties in our industry cover 20 years or longer, so we believe 10 years in business should be a minimum requirement.  This requirement makes our list of vendors shorter than others you may find- but we do this with your best interests in mind. 

One of the questions you should ask a repair service is the length of their warranties.  Contractors that provide a service can define ‘lifetime’ any way they choose, so do not assume their definition is going to match yours.  You can learn more about service warranties in this article. We also offer a checklist of questions to ask a contractor, free for download.
