Why Foundation Repair is Needed Before Your Home Remodel

Home Renovation Projects - Must Knows

Before beginning any home renovation project, it's important to understand the state of your home's foundation. Many residents around Kansas City depend on foundation repair companies like PierMagic Foundation Specialists to come out and provide a free assessment to clear them from any potential dangerous, expensive, or hurdles as the home renovation project begins. The team at PierMagic oftentimes gets calls from homeowners that have started a home renovation project and need a foundation inspection. Most of the time, the contractors working on the home find foundation problems and alert the homeowner. The homeowner doesn't want to be in a position where the entire project is halted, or done improperly because of foundation issues.

As foundation issues arise from the contractor, the homeowner obviously becomes concerned as they were unprepared for the foundation issues. At PierMagic® Foundation Specialists, we offer solutions to repair the foundation problems quickly, and even offer finance options to make the process smooth, easy, and cost efficient.

Regardless of the type of home remodel, be sure that you don’t ignore any possible foundation repair symptoms before renovating. We've had clients begin a huge kitchen remodel and discover huge cracks, leaning walls, and sinking floors. This not only derails the entire project, but can put added stress and of course expense to the project. This can cost you a lot of money in the long run. Obviously your best option is to be prepared, but how?

Begin by assessing your home's foundation on your own. Do you see:

Any cracks in the drywall that are increasing in size
Doors that are sticking
Gaps between the crown molding and the ceiling

If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s a good idea to have your home inspected by a professional foundation repair company before you even think about remodeling. The last thing you want to do is spend time and money remodeling your home and then have to tear it up to fix the foundation. We have saved homeowners across Jackson, Johnson, Cass, Wyandotte, Platte and Clay Counties thousands of dollars by fixing their foundation before their renovation. We provide free home estimates.
