Sara S. is a homeowner is Kershaw, SC who has been living with sagging floors ever since she bought the house 25 years ago. At first, she didn’t think anything of it because it didn’t bother her that bad. As time went on, however, she noticed it more and more. The more she noticed it the more it bothered her. She finally gave in and got someone from her church who had a contrition back ground to come look at it. After he had finished his look around he told her that her floor joist was beginning to give and that she needed them replaced. This didn’t surprise her because that’s exactly what she thought as well so she got them replaced and thought nothing of it. Once again as time goes on she started noticing the sagging again. Frustrated with her floors she calls back her construction friend to look at it once more. This time he tells her that he doesn’t know what it could be, that it’s beyond his understanding at this point.

Specialist Richard Early came out to Sara’s home and gave her a free inspection. After the inspection was done Richard explained to her that it wasn’t her floors that was the problem but her wall. “My wall!?”, she said. “Yes, your wall”, Richard replied. “Sagging walls can often cause rippling effects such as high and low points in your floors. That happens to be the case here”, he explained. He then explained how Cantey’s patented Smart Jack system was the solution to her problems. Production Team Leader Scott and Team Member Kenneth were quickly dispatched to Sara’s home and began working. They made efficient and effective work of the situation installing the Smart Jacks for Sara. “I just can’t find the works to say how happy I am this mess is fixed now, it’s given me this much trouble I’m just glad it’s over”, Sara said.

Brian P. is a property owner in Charleston, SC and recently purchased a house he believes he can revive. The house was built in the 1950s and since then was not taken care of very well. Brian had hope when he saw it though, thinking he could bring back that Charleston charm that the home once had. First, he needed to completely rebuild the floors and needed to find the right company for the job. An internet search brought him to Cantey Foundation Specialists home page and he called in to schedule an inspection. System Design Specialist Craig Adams met Brian at the house and inspected the floors. Specialist Craig determined that Cantey could definitely help Brian with the woodworking he needed to be done to begin his restoring project. Production Team Leader Sean Hawkes, Production Team Member Jesus Gonzalez, Production Team Member Diego Sanchez, Production Team Member Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardener arrived and successfully rebuilt the floors.

Brian P. is a business man in Charleston, SC that enjoys taking older, run down homes and turning them into beautifully renovated houses. He often finds homes that need a complete overhaul which was the case for this project. Close to downtown Charleston sat a house that no one had touched in years. This home did not even have flooring to get started on renovations. Brian wanted to find the best company to help him get started on making this home beautiful once again. Someone else in Brian's line of business recommended that he call Cantey Foundation Specialists because of their woodworking skill. Brian called into Cantey and was set up with an appointment. System Design Specialist Craig Adams came out to the site and did an inspection of the entire home. Craig told Brian that Cantey could definitely do the woodworking it would take to start on this home.

Jeremy M. has lived in his Johns Island, SC home for as long as he can remember. He inherited his childhood home from his parents and could not imagine living anywhere else. He loves living in the low country and having the ability to enjoy the beach. The only downside to the low country for him has always been the toll it takes on his home. He had noticed that his living room floor was beginning to slope and knew that soil had washed out underneath his home. He had previously had some wood replaced by Cantey Foundation Specialists so he gave them a call for a new solution. System Design Specialist Kendall Moore arrived and inspected the crawl space and found that Jeremy's home just needed some extra support. Kendall recommended Cantey's patented SmartJack system to Jeremy as a lasting solution. The installation would start by removing sections of soil where the tightly compacted crushed stone would fill to create a stable base for the footing to be placed on top. A steel beam that would be specifically cut to fit Richard's crawl space would then be placed on top of the footing and attached to the top of the crawl space. These steel beams or SmartJacks could then be adjusted to lift the kitchen floor to its proper position. Production Team Leader Juan Ramirez, Production Team Member Matthew Williams, and Production Team Member Robert Gardner came out and successfully installed the SmartJack system. Jeremy is thankful to Cantey for restoring his childhood home and recommends this company to anyone in need of foundation repair.

Cantey Foundation Specialists recently helped Jessie and Dan P of Charleston, SC. They recently purchased this house a couple months ago and they want to renovate it. They were told about some exterior cracks on the house. Therefore, they called us to take a look at it. We sent our System Design Specialist out for a FREE inspection and estimate. While there the Specialist showed both Dan and Jesse with a laser level on the house where the exterior crack is located along with pictures of inside the crawlspace and other issues that they were not aware of. Dan was very troubled at the additional discoveries. He expressed that he would like to get multiple quotes to make sure the job is done correctly. From there, the Design Specialist and the homeowners had a lengthy conversation about Cantey and how we can get this job done properly for them. After going over the solutions and options once more, both Dan and Jessie decided to proceed with the project. Shortly thereafter Cantey Foundation Specialists installed push piers, jacks on the main beam, jacks with supplemental beams and remove all the excess insulation.

We recently helped A. Mixon and her husband of Adam's Run, SC get their home sold. They had another company come out and were planning on moving forward with the competitor, but still wanted a second opinion. After a thorough inspection by our Cantey Foundation System Design Specialist, we looked at the original quote and they had missed 26’ of rotted main beam, which put our quote higher than theirs. Once they saw the difference in what had been found and what Cantey was prepared to offer for a permanent solution, the price no longer mattered.

Cantey Foundation Specialists will be helping the Cromer family of Awendaw, SC with Phase 1 of their home expansion project by installing Smart Jacks and beam in several areas of their house so that they can get their upstairs finished and move their three kids up there and out of their hair downstairs. A growing family- Cantey Can Fix That!
