Van Matre Construction

Van Matre Construction totally saved us! We called them for help with a mystery leak coming in through our main water line through the foundation in the basement, and Tim could not have been more responsive, helpful, realistic, and honest in walking me through the potential solves to the problem. I felt like he was always giving me real talk about the potential solutions and the potential issues we could face. He said a few times this company isn't opportunist, and I really believed it. Mike then came out to fix the actual leak, which ended up being WAY more involved than we first thought. He was patient and determined to get it fixed, recognizing that we had an escalating problem on our hands. He tested the problem from multiple angles and really took the time to figure it out, in contrast to other foundation repair companies I had out that just wanted to sell me expensive drainage systems. I also know that they squeezed in this job amidst other ongoing work, and I cannot be more grateful for them having a "yes, we can help" mentality and fixing this problem before it ruined our basement and messed up our foundation. I now know my go-to foundation repair company!

We faced a significant foundation repair on a 1908 Denver Square, with a brick foundation. From the beginning, Brady was willing to discuss the possible repair options and rough costs in quite a lot of detail. Ultimately he connected us with an engineer to produce drawings, and we put that out to bid. Van Matre Construction ultimately brought the most experience and confidence to the job, and Brady spent very many hours on the phone with me to review the work both before and during the repairs. The crew were all friendly, very skilled, and very knowledgeable, and they did great work including on clean-up. Taking care of the punch list items was no problem, and we now have a stable foundation and can proceed with the basement remodel knowing we won't have to open up the walls for additional repairs. Brady is friendly, knowledgeable, and fair -- and a great communicator which was critical for us since we live out of state.

Van Matre was fabulous to work with. After dealing with band aid fixes from another company for 9 years trying to stop our house from heaving, we came across Van Matre when searching for a geotechnical engineering firm that might be able to help us. We wanted a permanent fix. They recommended helical piers which was also recommended by the company that tested our soil. The work was completed at the end of September and we couldn't be happier with the job and the crew, Chris, Joel and Adam, that worked on site over a one week period. They were always willing to answer questions we had each day and made sure that we were 100% satisfied before they finished. We are anxiously looking forward to when we can start repairing the damages inside the house. Wish we had known about these guys 9 years ago. Thanks Van Matre!

I was looking to buy a home that reportedly had foundation issues. There was a huge quote from Rods Complete Basement, including 13 piers, and an engineer had also suggested piers to fix foundation, though only 3. Met with Brady Van Metre for 1.5 hours, no charge, and he proceeded to explain that foundation was fine and what was wrong was heaving floors pushing up walls that weren't floated correctly. Upon removal of walls, house settled back down, cracks closed up. Pretty amazing actually. Also turns out, foundation was in great condition, no issues whatsoever. Brady also reinspected at no cost, and gave great advice. I will never call anyone else for foundation and construction projects, as I was highly impressed. Better than a structural engineer in my opinion. Thanks Van Metre Construction!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. When our home flooded, I thought I had hit bottom. I was devastated to then learn that in addition to drainage, we needed foundation repairs. Finding Van Matre Construction was a turning point in our journey. Brady and his team were knowledgeable, compassionate, and fair. They finished the project on time and on budget. When I had questions, they were willing to spend the extra time needed to make sure that I understood everything that was happening. I will always be grateful for their expertise and professionalism. Now that the project is one year behind us, I again feel safe and secure in our home, and grateful that they made it possible within our budget.
