As a Realtor, from my first initial contact to completion I was very pleased. The crew did a great job in cleaning up and removed any excess dirt. It's important to me my clients receive the best and live up to my professional standards. Ask for John Calhoun, very knowledgable, answered ever call or returned calls within 24 hours. That is very impressive since everything we do: time is of the essence. Work was completed in one day with a quick turn around for the engineer report and hydro-static test. I highly recommend 1st Choice to all who is need of repairs.

As the owner of an Insurance Agency, I did need to refer a client for foundation work on their home. I referred 1st Choice with Chris Statzer and my policyholder was extremely happy w the professionalism, concern and timeliness of Chris and his team. My policyholder and I do highly recommend 1st Choice for foundation work around here.

Jason came out to examine concerns we were having due to new cracks forming on Birge interior and exterior walls.
We had purchased the house just over a year ago, and the engineers report showed old movement, but all within the acceptable limits. After repairs to old damage from that movement, we just noticed some of them reopening.
Jason explained that the movement was likely due to improper foundation care (watering) and common movement. He also asked questions about our sub slab plumbing. Determining that as it was all recently scoped and verified intact, that the movement was likely within

I've had a good experience with 1st Choice Foundation Repair and mainly it is due to the owner. I put 4 post (steel piers to the bedrock which I recommend) in 2013 and I've had some shifting. This was due to the heavy rains of late. If you get the steel piers, the lifetime warranty is very straightforward. They will repair anything outside of measurement range and you don't have to put a soaker hose on a timer etc... If you get the concrete piers, the warranty is weaker as the post only go down 15 feet or so and is likely to move more. Jason (the owner) is a great guy and personally came out to

They came out a year ago and fixed my shifting foundation. Work was done very quickly and it looks great. This year I noticed some small cracks in the mortar on the other side of the house (where work was not done). John came out and measured the foundation again and concluded we don’t need more work at this time. It’s just minor settling. Other companies might have sold me lots of work that is not needed. John and 1st Choice Foundation have been very professional and honest from the start.

These guys are amazing. No one wants to have foundation issues, fortunately the expertise found with the guys at 1st Choice is unmatched. Jason was able to pinpoint all of the issues on our home, we had an engineer come out who concurred and they got the work done promptly. They made an overwhelming repair manageable and easy and gave us great tips for upkeep. I highly recommend that you have them come out for a free estimate if you suspect there are issues with your home.

DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!! They DO NOT back up their warranty, totally unprofessional attitude from the "owner", said owner had a major attitude when I called him out on his "warranty". This place is crooked as they get. It's obvious that the work he does was worthless and had to pull out of this area because he was losing too much money on his "lifetime warranty" work. He acted more like a child who didn't like what he was hearing than an adult who wanted to back up the work he did. Any company who'd rather disrespect a previous/future customer than

Do not use this company. They did work on a home in 2012 with the original owners. We purchased the home in 2016. Prior to us purchasing the home, 1st choice came out and said the home was "in tolerance" and submitted paperwork to the sellers stating such. Once in the home for a few months, we noticed doors not closing right. I called 1st choice out and they said it was still ok. (They wouldn't honor the warranty from the original work bc the sellers didn't transfer it within 60 days). A year later, the foundation issues seemed to worsen. I called 1st choice out again and they

Please update your coverage map. After sitting on hold for ten minutes I was told you don't cover my city, although in the Yelp coverage map I am clearly in the coverage area. When I asked if Little Elm was in the coverage area I was told I don't see that city on the map. Little Elm is a pretty big city. You might want to discover where that is since it borders Frisco.

This company did the foundation work on the house before I purchased it so I cannot speak to the validity of their work. I bought my house and had a warranty transferred from the previous owner to my name, 1st Choice charges $100 for that, ok. Now I call because there are new cracks, some pipes moving in the guest bathroom and guess what, it's $100 just to come out. I'll post back once they show up and let you all know how it goes.

Love the guys at 1st Choice! Chris and Jason have an authentic desire to do what is right by each homeowner they serve whether it is repairing their foundation or ensuring that the foundation isn't in need of repair.
In the past, I have had foundation companies who have quoted me on huge repair jobs for my home only to find after hiring an independent engineer myself that no work needed to be done.
So this is one of the first questions I brought up with them. They go out of there way to make sure this doesn't happen so their clients get a foundation that will last a lifetime,

At first I was very excited that I located a reputable foundation repair company that walked me through each step of the process and ensured I was very comfortable with the process. 1St Choice Foundation insisted they were leaders in this work because of their experience and have a full time crew dedicated to foundation repair.
At the conclusion of the work I had some plumbing issues that needed to be addressed. Upon excavating the soil from the pier in question it was obvious that my sprinkler electrical lines were ducted taped together. This connection would have failed upon being exposed to

Great company. Professional and timely. Though there didn't turn out to be any problems with our foundation, Nick Green was thorough in his free consultation and explained what I should watch for and how I can better take preventative care of the home. Lady on the phone was also very courteous and professional.

I had 1st Choice Foundation Repair come out to investigate some minor cracking in the brick along side of my garage. They called before coming to ensure I was here. When I needed to re-schedule, they had no issue with it and moved on to the next job. Finally when they did come out (2 weeks later, my choice), the technician spent a good 90 min taking readings and comparing levels around the house. When we went over the results, turns out there was nothing that was needed. The "crack" was not enough to worry about (less than 1/8 inch) and the levels around the house all were within

We had Nick from 1st Choice Foundation Repair come out to our property, to look at some areas of concern. He arrived exactly at 9:00AM (despite having a 9:00AM - 11:00AM window) and was very thorough with his inspection of the house internally/externally and taking some measurements inside the house.
He did an excellent job explaining the terminology and what typically constitutes a foundation problem. He also had some very helpful advice on how to keep your home's foundation in good shape.
There was no sales pitch or scare tactics - something as critical as your home's foundation can

Nick came to inspect my house today, and he was very professional, friendly, and informative. Nick arrived on time, and I showed him the area of concern, and he also walked around the house (inside and outside) to inspect the rest. The entire process took about half an hour or less. After inspecting the house including the elevation checks, Nick noted that there are no foundation issues. Phew! This was the best way I could have gotten my foundation inspected, and I am very glad I picked 1st Choice Foundation Repair Co. I definitely recommend.

Had an appointment for a foundation inspection on a duplex I have under contract. I am a real estate investor. The office staff was friendly and helpful but the technician they sent was unprofessional. He called me 15 minutes before the appointment to notify me of a late arrival. He then asked why I was calling. I told him. He asked if I saw any cracks, I said no. He told me it was a waste of his time and he couldn't make money like that.
I called another company that scrambled to meet me at the home before the option period expired. More than disappointed in the service that was provided

I live in a old house in Frisco (yes, one of the very few in the downtown area) and I called Chris to check out my foundation. My house is over 100 years old and there has obviously been some shifting. Here is what I appreciate about these guys. They told me: 1) There was shifting and 2) Not to do anything about it. They said that the house wasn't going to shift anymore and it would do more damage than good if I were to try to "fix" it.
They could have tried to sell me on a 5-10K service, but instead, their integrity prevailed.

When we began to see red-flags that may be indicative of foundation issues, I jumped on Yelp to determine a reputable company. It is rare to find a contractor-esque business with more than a couple of stars on here, but Choice caught my eye with an average review of 5-stars by multiple users. Such ratings are not "handed out" by most consumers, so it was a natural pick for us.
As we waited for our scheduled appointment, I began to cringe at the thought of what could be a tab upwards of several thousand dollars, which of course, our homeowner's insurance would certainly not
