Our Ranking Methodology

We aim to make our process as thorough as possible. Using machine learning and natural language processing, we collected and analyzed data of over 20,000 companies nationwide. We extracted the highlights and lowlights for each company and scored them using a variety of review criteria, including:

• Experience: We look for companies with experience in their field, and companies that employ high-quality contractors. We also look for experience with various types of foundation repairs or installations.
• Service area: It's important that a company recommended for Las Vegas homeowners serves that area. Higher scores are also given to companies with larger service areas.
• Customer experience: We analyze customer reviews to determine how satisfied customers are with the company.
• Accreditation: Proper licensing and well-educated professionals help boost a company's rating. We consider whether a company meets all of licensing requirements for Nevada and whether it is properly insured.
• Pros and cons: We use the collected information to sort out pros and cons, such as customer satisfaction, experience with certain services, availability, and price. We then use these pros and cons to weigh a company's score.

After we score companies, we map them based on service area in order to show you only the most relevant providers.

• Inspection and Estimate Process: When you speak with a local foundation repair expert, they should conduct a free inspection and estimate before starting any repairs. This will help you learn more about the underlying cause of your foundation problems, what fixes are needed, and about how much you can expect to pay.
• Licensing and Insurance: The company you hire should meet the general contractor licensing requirements in Nevada and should have at least general liability insurance.
• Warranties: It's a smart idea to ask your company about what warranties they offer. Any reputable company should offer warranties for their work, although what specifically is covered may vary.
• Structural Engineer Partnerships: A structural engineer is someone who can provide a third-party inspection of your property and offer expert feedback on the repairs recommended. Typically, this service costs a few hundred dollars. If your foundation repair company doesn't have a partnership with a local structural engineer, you can establish one yourself.
• Cost: It's in your best interest to review multiple quotes before taking on a foundation repair project, and to beware of those that are extremely high or extremely low. Foundation repairs can be expensive, but the benefits are well worth it.

Cost of Foundation Repair Las Vegas
