The Most Important Question Of All
Why do many foundation repair representatives not completely answer these and all of your other questions?
There are a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that a foundation salesperson is really no different than a car salesperson, he/she will not make any money if you do not buy something.
Completely answering all of your questions might lead you to the conclusion that you do not need the foundation repairs that they have told you that you need. You may not need any repairs at all! Some foundation repair companies seem to think that withholding information is not necessarily the same thing as being dishonest.
We are not saying that all foundation repair companies are the same, some are very honest and knowledgeable. The problem is that if you do not have experience in this area it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to know what to believe or who to trust. This is exactly why you need an expert to advise you, someone who will make sure that you do not get ripped off!
Remember that most foundation repair salespeople work on a commission, this includes the honest ones,but always remember that the more repairs they sell you the higher their commissions will be.
Another reason that your foundation repair salesperson may not be giving you the full picture is simply that he or she does not have enough knowledge because of improper training or limited experience pr both.
There is a very high turn over rate in foundation repair salespeople and many are never properly trained. Some companies even depend on a high turnover rate as one of their lead sources. Once a new salesperson has exhausted his list of friends and relatives, he is replaced someone else and the cycle continues.
Many companies proudly advertise the length of time they have been in the business. What is much more important to know is, how long the salesperson who is doing your estimate has been in the business and how long has the crew that will perform the your foundation repairs has been in the business.
You could end up with a 40 year old company who sends out a new and inexperienced salesperson to do your estimate and then follow up with a crew that has only been doing foundation repair for a month or two. A prescription for disaster...
