My home was destroyed by
Olshan Foundation Repair
Trusting Olshan equals trusting a child with a loaded gun
My own experience revealed that
The biggest mistake one could Make is trusting Olshan foundation
Because I had two small cracks developing in the wall' sheetrock inside the house, I called Olshan Foundation Repair of Dallas, the so-called 90 years old company which I later discovered from Official public records that it was formed on Sep/09/2004 in Dells, and on12/31/1996 in Houston. Clearly the alleged 90 years history seems not to add up. WELL, I did sign a strange locking contract and waited for the day in which the repair to be done... I wish I didn't!
Olshan - sent me a bunch of hardworking, ground-digging people who are recently hailed from El Salvador. Perhaps they are very nice bunch of strong guys who can did holes in the ground fast; however, they are surely neither educated in engineering, nor in foundation repair, nor were they equipped with engineering drawing, instructions, nor were they supervised by a professional.
OLSHAN charged me $650 dollar for alleged engineering, that is FRAUD - There was no engineering blueprints, no engineer to supervise, no engineering guidance or written instructions to the workers, and certainly no one to coordinate the random guessing each of the workers had to do on his own as to how much to jack-up the house, where, and how the foundation should be moved - it was a profound negligence and absence of coordination. THE RESULT WAS A COMPLETE DISASTER, as walls became separated from ceilings, doors came stuck jammed-in could not be open, and floors caved with the two small cracks for which the foundation repair was called turning into 39 huge cracks inside the house, and 11 cracks developing in the break walls outside.
In addition to the structural damages, Olshan's destructive unprofessional and unsupervised workers caused damages to the plumbing of the house which initial repair estimate is in exccess of $22,000
The complete chaos by the uneducated, unlicensed, and uninsured contractor hired by Olshan to handle hundreds of thousands if not millions worth of real estate resulted in almost full destruction of my house. The good-ole crew gathered by the greed-driven Olshan were instructed to finish the job in about six-hours... Well, Olshan needed to profiteer from doing the biggest number of contract regardless shady work. THE UNSUPERVISED WORKERS, each relying on his own guesses are all you get for your money when you trust Olshan Foundation Repair of Dallas THIS IS MY OWN EXPERIENCE, IT IS NOT A STORY
AVOID FALLING IN THE OLSHAN TRAP LIKE ME,
BEFORE YOU SIGN WITH OLSHAN ASK TO SEE LIABILITY INSURANCE ON THE CREW COMINHG TO YOUR HOUSE, ASK FOR THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, ASK FOR THEIR STATE-ISSUED CONTRACTOR LICENSE; perhaps you should ask for THEIR NAMES... Olshan had no idea who was coming to repair my foundation... Olshan did not care as long as the cheapest contractor who can do the shady work fast is found and hired by Olshan. My experience showed me that Olshan greed is endless, and Olshan's only objective is profiteering at the homeowner's expense with complete disregard to integrity, professionalism, and the safety.
