            I had Foundation Guys come in to look at my basement for leakage. They came in and put in a new drainage system and pump. It was agreed that this product be under warranty and support. However, I have tried to get in contact with them and they out right refuse to respond to (a) email, (b) voice message, (c) fax, (d) text. This is absolutely unacceptable. Be warned : do not deal with this organization, they will leave you high and dry and make it impossible for you to get in touch with them once they take your money !

            I received a quote from the foundation guys for a property in ************. I was buying an investment property with a foundation issue and I knew it would be a big job to fix. My partner called in ************, their salesperson to quote. At first ***** said $20-25k and it was an easy fix. Once we closed on the property it was hard to reach ***** but he eventually came back and said $40k. We reluctantly agreed and provided the needed deposit. After many call attempts my partner finally got ahold of ***** and he then said $60k was the new price, even though we already had given the deposit with the locked in price. This is extortion, I have contacted *********** and won't rest until our deposit is returned or our agreed upon price is honoured. I will make sure everyone in ON knows the Foundation guys are not professional by any means and this company should be avoided at all costs. This is a real story and the house is on Augustus ** in Cornwall in case the owners want to pretend like I am making this up

            We apologize for the inconvenience, we have your deposit check at the Office. By the time the deal went through, there was in an increase in the steel price that are completely out of our control. When the contract went through the approval process, it was not approved by the Owner of the company. Our Company policy is to refund deposits, when a Proposal is not approved. Steel prices are extremely volatile and completely out of our control. We sincerely apologize for you customer experience, and we thank you for the opportunity to do business with you. Please contact the office at ************ to arrange to pick up the refund for the deposit which is waiting for you at reception.
