What do you like about this subject?

I like helping people! Foundations are the supportive strength beneath all things: Buildings, Relationships, Businesses, etc. Sometimes Foundations become weakened or stressed. Whenever there is a desire to mend these failing foundations, then I am honored to be of assistance.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

My hopes are to be able to share my knowledge and possibly help people make the right choices. I learn new things everyday! I will never give advice based upon things that I have heard or read, only recommendations based upon realistic, actual experience and truly trusted sources.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Many new foundation repair companies have started up during the past few years. They have recognized the demand, and they are hoping to get a piece of the market. Many of them are going to be quality oriented, but many of them are going to experiment. Making the right choices can be very difficult when the information is limited. Obtaining all of the information available, is always a great idea!
