The movers who cut my old house in half 21 yrs ago are now back, drought made my piers go cockeyed, wife went and got a list of what sandwiches they wanted, crew chief said no one had ever fed them. Treat people like you want to be treated, I Garronte!

Treat people like you want to be treated, I Garronte! Agreed. We need foundation work, but we can live with it for now most of the doors still latch.

My doors close now, and if we have another drought my man said he'll come fix it for free!

Replaced the foundation on my hillside house in 1988. Enough concrete and steel for a bunker.

Got 4 estimates for leveling, thought my old house mover was out of business, found out his son continued the business. What impressed me about him was the other 3 companies brought out whooptdo digital equip and said you’re down 1 inch here 2 inch there, old mover walked the floor, no digital and eyeballed it and told me 1 inch there 2 inches here. We sat down to make a deal, he said Mr Bradley your house is strong and if it was my house I’d leave it alone. Wife said maybe another drought again and we go thru the same thing again, he said I well come back and fix it for free. We made a deal like I had done with his Father, cash in a paper bag. Shook on it like the old days, my doors close now and most of the Sheetrock cracks have closed up.
