Appointments are scheduled through the website or office with quick confirmation and occasional early arrival offers from technicians.

“I just had Olshan Foundation Solutions come out to the house to help me identify whether or not I had a foundation issue. My technician, Jarred Peeples, is the kind of professional you hope will show up... on time, professional appearance, knowledgeable, and a great listener. Jarred took the time to understand the roundness of my flooring issue before he began the inspection, and answered my many questions in a friendly and insightful way. The office was on the ball too, and everyone I spoke with was helpful and proactive. A great experience all the way around. Thank you, Olshan.”

“Had Olshan out after we started seeing cracks and doors that wouldn’t sit right. Michael Drebes came for the evaluation and did a really solid job. He walked the whole property, explained what he was seeing in plain language, and was honest about what needed to be done. Professional, on time, and easy to work with. The house already feels more stable, and we’re glad we went with them. Highly recommend Olshan for foundation work in Central Texas.”

“Les was the Technician that came out to evaluate my home. He was a really nice guy, experienced in foundation issues. He explained what was going on and how and what they can do to lift and support the home. I chose Olshan mainly due to the Cable Lock ST Plus System that they use. I feel that is a safer and more secure option with the steel and concrete, rather than just steel. The team did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. I even had the driveway lifted. Thank you Olshan! I can sleep better at night now knowing my house wont sink anymore. Living in Buda, this whole area is having foundation issues now.”

“UPDATE NOW THAT WORK IS COMPLETE: The crew had a BLANTANT disrespect for my property! Company compensated me $600 and paid for the after project plumbing inspection yet I have 2 patches in my garage where cement was jack hammered because they got “confused”, destroyed custom pathway, missing 4 landscape lights, broke retractable gate in interior of my house. The Good: 1. Foundation is better. Some cracks are not visible anymore. 2. Technician (Sara), Production Manager (Gerald), Supervisor (Alex), and office staff (Marissa/Samantha) embody the customer service Olsham’s repeatedly boasted about. These personnel are absolute amazing and did all they could to rectify the situation. The Bad: 1. My property was treated like a new build construction project. Zero regard for my property. The crew left the front door wide open during their lunch, ran a wheel barrel into the baby gate harness on the wall causing it to be stripped from the wall and damage to the wall. As we complained, the workers got worse, dragged their wheel barrels across my landscape rock walkway that did NOT interfere with with the job, tracked mud in my house from not covering their shoes, didn’t use a tamping took u”

“We hired Olshan to repair two exterior slabs adjacent our pool deck that had sunken/pulled away from the pool's perimeter due to improper drainage. The engineer who quoted the job was very professional and friendly. The technicians who arrived on the day of the repair were also friendly and on-time. The repair process was quick and unobtrusive to our quiet neighborhood and the technicians cleaned up after themselves. Details: One of the two slabs were successfully lifted to it's original elevation but cracked in several locations as a result of the stress. While I understand how this can happen, the technicians left these cracks untreated which will lead to issues later since we're in a freeze/thaw climate. In order to lift this large slab, they drilled several holes throughout the slab to inject foam (this was anticipated). These holes were filled with a flexible, self-leveling compound but care was not taken to avoid overfilling or color matching. As a result, our stamped and colored concrete slab now has gray dots disrupting the appearance that have a rubbery feel and vary in size and shape. The second area was directly adjacent our pool and had separated by more than an inch”

“Olshan earned my trust. To those researching their options, consider this. Cameron Murray came to check my foundation concerns. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and honest. There was no hard sale. In fact, he said what would help are gutters, and that my foundation is currently still solid. That honesty ensures that I will go with Olshan in the future, and will recommend them now. I've had many quotes for different projects and that kind of honesty isn't always easy to find. When you do, you feel much better about spending hard-earned money on an expensive project.”

“We have been concerned that our foundation was shifting and requested an evaluation from Olshan Foundation Solutions. Michael Johns, Certified Foundation Repair Specialist, came to our home and did a thorough and comprehensive evaluation and review. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He provided good explanations of his findings, addressed all of our issues and concerns in a succinct and concise manner, and answered all of our questions. His conclusion was that we did not need foundation repair services at this time. Michael is a valuable asset for Olshan Foundation Solutions. He represents the Olshan brand in a "first-class, top-drawer manner." We are appreciative of his honesty and that he did not try to sell us services we do not need.”

“Beware. Olshan leveled a house I was working on in May 2025 for over $70K and had to return and level it again June 2026. It sank 3 inches all the way around the entire structure. The house was textured and painted after the first repair and now needs to be textured and painted again in 30 plus places throughout the home. Olshan will not pay for any repairs to texture, paint, landscaping, damaged patios and sidewalks, or the cracks in the exterior brick. They did level the structure, but that is it. You are on your own if problems arise and the warranty doesn't cover damage of any kind. The landscaping is trashed and there are leaks under the slab. They will do nothing for the owners. They lost their tenant and are now having to pay thousands of dollars to return the property to its original condition.”

“12/21: (Since I cant add to the Williams review below) about 9 days after the work completed, my mulch is now sinking under my home about 9 feet from the front door. Looks like the hole was not properly packed. Way too many issues using this company so my next stop will be the Better Business Bureau. I just casually spotted this as i was walking to my front door after trying to fix the glued down rock walkway up to my porch. I wonder how many more surprises I’ll find that end up being hazards due to their work.”

“Jared Dobbs, CST, came out and throughly inspected my property inside and out. He was very professional and nice. He explained to me that he did not find any structural damage at all. He did recommend that I get some gutters. I appreciate his honesty. I would highly recommend Olshan to anyone needing this type of service. I'm a very satisfied customer!!!”

“Jason Martens was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to explain the driveway replacement process and provided a detailed, fair quote. I appreciated his prompt communication and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone looking for a driveway replacement estimate.”

“Jason with Olshan did a great job presenting a thorough and thoughtful solution to our yard drainage issues. He took the time to make precise measurements and laid out avery make sense plan.”

“We had a quote done for our crawl space and Jason was very honest and knowledgeable. He gave us a couple of options to choose from and was helpful on what he thought would be an appropriate solution. We look forward to working with Olshan and will refer Jason to our friends and family!”

“After having 3 other companies come out and explain to me what was happening with my home's foundation and having 3 different evaluations, I called Olshan. Jared came out and did his evaluation and explained to me everything that i needed and why the conflicting stories.. He went over what was necessary to have done and what was unnecessary, which brought clarity to me in regards to my foundation issues. I appreciate that this company has been in business for 90 plus yrs with all their guarantees and transferable warranties they have. UPDATE: The Project is complete and we're waiting on the engineer company to come out and do their final evaluation. But this Review is Specifically for the crew who did the work. Christian was the project manager who was completely professional but was also very nice and explained what they were going to do. to his Crew: Fernando, Wilson, Rogelio, Jesus and Osman, know exactly what theyre doing and not only respected our property but as far as I can tell, did an amazing job. As far as the Office manager Sam (Samantha), there were a few things that I couldn't get answered from Jared but Sam called me, did a great job answering, clarifying and han”

“Recently during a time sensitive option period, Jason was able to work in an appointment for a client to give an informed, foundation inspection despite a busy schedule. Jason was thorough in his assessment and was able to clearly explain his findings. My client left with the knowledge of things to watch out for given the age of the home and what warning signs should prompt a call back. Thank you Jason and Olshan's for the informed performance opinion allowing my client to move on with confidence and an understanding of what to expect to budget should future adjustments be needed!”

“I had a question about our foundation skirt and called several different places. Olshan got me in quickly and their technician Cameron even called the day of the appointment, offering to show up early if it would be helpful. He gave me an honest assessment EVEN THOUGH it meant a general contractor would probably be a better fit for the job. It’s not often a company still puts their customers first. When inevitably we need foundation work done on this old house, Olshan (and Cameron) will be my first call.”

“Chris gave estimate and explained everything very well. Patrick and Roberto did an excellent job on my driveway repair. Very pleased with the results.”

“Really happy I chose these guys for the crack in my foundation, Micheal Drebes was our inspector and he was great to work with! Very thorough, Michael pointed out things that I didn’t realize were going on with the house… needless to say I'm having a couple more projects work on by them soon, Thanks for the great work!”

“They were quick and professional. Took a little going over the site afterwards to clean up and there was one edge that had some unfinished bits but overall quite satisfied with the work by Jose Guerrero and his crew.”

“Great experience from the beginning to end. Was very easy to schedule the consultation on the website and was able to get scheduled without a long wait time. Cameron came out to do the original measurements and inspection and was super kind and helpful with the questions I had. He was also very kind and understanding with my toddler, showing him the equipment and socializing with him as he got the inspection done. That goes a long way in my book. The crew that came out and did the work were amazing as well. Joe made sure to inform me when they arrived each day and kept me up to date on the process throughout. I can’t thank Cameron, Joe G, Carlos S, Edgar L, Antonio P, Roberto A, and Gabriel G enough for taking care of our home. It’s great having the peace of mind that it’s fixed and not getting any worse.”
