I had Xarlos Foundation work on my 1950 country house in Petaluma, which had multiple additions over the years and a mix of slab and foundation walls. The house sits on adobe clay, and over time the foundation had sunk—at the worst spot it was 5.5 inches lower than the highest point.
I spoke with just about every major foundation company in the North Bay. Most of them gave me sky-high quotes and, more frustrating, didn’t really understand the full scope of the problem. A couple even suggested ripping up my hardwood kitchen floor because they didn’t want to do the hard work of getting under the house.
Xarlos was completely different. They took the time to actually investigate the situation, explain what was happening, and design a solution that would fix it permanently without tearing apart my interior. They installed over 20 push piers—each about 50 feet deep—so now the house is anchored into bedrock. Instead of destroying floors, their crew dug trenches under the house and did all the work from below.
From start to finish, they gave me confidence no other company did. They stuck to the promised timeline, kept me in the loop, and were a pleasure to work with. My house is now level and stable, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
If you’re looking for a foundation company that actually knows what they’re doing and cares about doing it right, I can’t recommend Xarlos enough.
