"In the process of selling my house, a home inspection discovered a slight slope in my second story hallway. George came and evaluated and was so honest. He told us that there was nothing to be done, minor cosmetic fix, we were willing to do whatever it required to fix it. He wrote up his report and I sold my house."

"My home twisted in the hurricane. The upper level began to collapse into my main floor. The structural engineer did an analysis and agreed that a properly placed beam would solve my issue. His team arrived soon after to support the area, then installed an I-Beam, removed part of my wall very neatly and carefully to install sturdier bracing, and did a good job cleaning up. Very clean, very courteous, meticulous. This was the easiest part of the entire restoration project. The crew was polite, quiet, top notch. I would use them again in a heartbeat, and have been happily passing on their information to my neighbors and friends."

"Per our home inspector, we needed a structural inspector to come in to take a look at a few items. George was the inspector who came out to the home and he was great. He was thorough and very knowledgeable and very professional. If any work is needed once we purchase the house, I am definitely considering George and his team."

"An engineer came and checked the house, looked at potential concerns we had and explained what had caused them and whether we had cause to worry. He found some issues in the basement he was not 100% of, so he sent a basement expert to our house about a week later to evaluate it (included in the cost of the service). Both of them were very nice and answered all our questions honestly and were able to allay many of the fears we had about the house. While some issues were discovered, it was nothing that had to be taken care of unless we wanted to. As first time homeowners it was reassuring to hear explanations of the various things we found."

"George came by to give us a quote on our cracked structural beams and he was excellent – very personable and more importantly, thorough, he explained everything, was honest about what did and didn’t need to be fixed right away. We were impressed and the quote was fair, so we scheduled our repair. The guys were efficient and did a great job."

"We are very pleased with the work Lallygone did to remediate old termite damage to the rim box by the porch and to repair a structural deficiency in one of the garage walls. Both jobs were done on time and efficiently and cleanly. George, the structural engineer, and Jerry and his workmen were informative and polite. Additionally, they were prompt each day, and the work was done as it was explained it would be. Importantly, they finished in the time frame needed by us."

“They are reliable. Always on time and let us know 15-45 min in advance before coming in. The engineer’s assessment of problems is accurate and pricing is very, very good. He will explain the process to you with clarity and patience. He would not push you on getting the actual contract. He is prompt in replying to emails and texts. We were always kept up to date and felt at ease to schedule their visits. The best part: they are one of the most dedicated professionals we’ve known. One Saturday which was supposed to be a half day project, the crew worked from 9:30am to 10:30pm non-stop. This was because an extensive damage was discovered while working on the original construction project…Everything was explained to us in simple terms and the damage was shown to us before progressing. And they went ahead and kept working until the damages were fully repaired. The project had morphed from a half day work to a 13 hours and Lallygone did not charge us for this additional work. Yet the crews were always in good spirit. We cannot thank them enough for the amount of work they’ve put in to save our house. Crew was mindful about dust and cleaning as well. Everywhere the tools and construction dust touched was cleaned up before they left. We are very happy with end results. If your house has structural issues Lallygone is the place to ask for help.”

“I wanted to open up the space in my basement that I am about to finish and removing these columns was going to give me a lot more flexibility. I am really glad I found this company. George and his team did a great job. I had to have four columns removed. I could have taken out a fifth, but it was a lot more complicated due to a lot of electrical, hvac and plumbing lines that would have had to been moved and it was not worth the cost to me and did not make a big difference in opening up space. For two of the columns, they removed and replaced with a steel beam. There were two other columns that they were able to remove and then insert a steel flitch plate up in the existing joists. They were amazing about returning phone calls and/or emails during the process. They were able to do the job very quickly once I decided to move forward with the project. They left the job site very clean. Overall, it went great and it made such a difference and I have a much more open basement and looking forward to starting the next phase next month.”

“We’re thrilled to have our ‘lally gone’ — it’s something we’ve had to deal with every day, and it’s great to be able to get out of my car without feeling like I’m trying to wriggle out of a wetsuit!”

“We had a load bearing wall removed in our basement by a contractor that we later found out, had no idea what he was doing. LallyGone came in and saved the day! Within a few hours, LallyGone removed the, now bowing, laminate beam and replaced it with a steel beam (that we had already purchased and managed to get in our basement). Luckily they were able to salvage part of the laminate beam and use it in another part of our basement to repair a sloped floor upstairs! LallyGone was very professional, arrived on time, completed the work in a timely fashion, and cleaned up after they were done. A project that turned into a nightmare and could’ve potentially stayed that way for months was fixed by LallyGone in one day! Thank you LallyGone!!”

“The job was excellent. They were able to talk in a language I could understand. I actually went through a few Angie’s List recommended people for foundation repair. Either they were no shows or I didn’t feel comfortable with them. LallyGone was very much able to come in here and address my concerns, and did a professional job that made me feel comfortable the whole way through. My overall experience with them was excellent.”

“Wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude of the crew today. I know they originally came with the hopes this was a quick fix. But they kept at it even after I thought it was as close as we would get to pre-beam floor level. The floor no longer has the hump. GREAT work on their end and they were super polite and patient answering my questions along the way to make me feel comfortable with the resolution and end state. It isn’t about how the job is done, but how things are dealt with when things don’t quite go as planned originally. Super pleased with the results and would be happy to provide a review online or as a reference if ever needed. Thanks a BUNCH to you for connecting via email and phone calls in follow up! And thanks to the guys for the great work. And will definitely call again when we are ready for the beam work elsewhere in the house.”
