FAQ

Are you licensed and insured for foundation work in Ohio and Kentucky?

Direct answer

Yes. Every job is performed by a local contractor who is licensed and insured, carries liability and workers' compensation coverage, and pulls the required local permits, and we coordinate licensed Professional Engineers on structural scopes. Always verify license and insurance before any foundation contractor digs; it protects you if anything goes wrong on your property.

More detail

Foundation work is structural and involves excavation, heavy equipment, and your home's integrity, so licensing and insurance are not paperwork formalities, they are your protection. The contractor on your job is licensed and insured to perform foundation repair across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, carries the general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage this work requires so that an accident or damage on your property is covered rather than falling on you, and pulls the building permits the local jurisdiction requires for foundation work so the repair is inspected and on record. For any structural scope we coordinate a licensed Professional Engineer to specify and stamp the design, which several local building departments require to issue a permit. We encourage homeowners to verify these credentials with any foundation contractor before signing, ours included: ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' comp (and confirm the coverage is current), ask how the work will be permitted, and ask whether a licensed engineer is involved in the design. The reason this matters concretely: an uninsured contractor whose worker is injured on your property, or whose excavation damages a utility line or a neighbor's property, can leave you exposed to liability, and unpermitted structural work can create problems at resale when an inspector or buyer's lender discovers it was never inspected. The cost of working with a properly licensed, insured, permitted, engineer-backed contractor is built into a fair price; the cost of saving a little with an uninsured, unpermitted operator shows up only when something goes wrong. Verifying credentials takes a few minutes and is one of the most important things a homeowner can do before any foundation repair begins.
