"I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to level my home, expecting a professional job with clear communication, but the entire experience has been incredibly disappointing and costly. From the start, I hired the company to level the floors in my home, specifically to address a nearly 3-inch dip in my kitchen area, a 13x10 room. Yet after they “completed the job,” I still have a 1.5-inch dip in the center of the kitchen, and a corner of my home/kitchen that sits half an inch higher than it should be (above 0%), creating a full inch rise from the living room to the kitchen. Now they’re saying that leveling the kitchen wasn’t included in the original scope, blaming the remaining dip on my kitchen island and fridge being “too heavy” and lacking proper support—an issue they failed to identify in the initial assessment. To properly address this problem, they’re now asking for an additional $7,500, claiming this work was never part of the original job. This feels like a classic bait-and-switch tactic, and I can’t help but feel taken advantage of. To make matters worse, I discovered that they used an uncalibrated machine during the initial leveling when installing, which raised my house over an inch more than necessary, causing significant damage that wasn’t there before. Partway through the lift, they even asked me to sign a waiver to get my house closer to 0% level, effectively absolving them of any damage caused. The technician stopped mid-lift to show me the damage that was already occurring and warned that more would likely follow if we continued. I agreed to proceed, trusting their assurances and assuming their equipment was properly calibrated. I even pointed out to the technician at the time that it did not look level, and he assured me the machine was correct. Now, they refuse to take any responsibility for the resulting damage, dismissing it as “standard” and providing terms within the contract absolving them—despite them overcorrecting the home. There were also repeated measurement discrepancies, with reports showing one reading and verbal statements/emails suggesting different levels. When I sought clarification, I received vague responses and empty apologies. After all this, and nearly $30,000 invested, my floor remains unleveled. The only resolution TerraFirma Foundation Systems has offered is for me to pay additional money to level the kitchen and to wait for the overcorrected area to “settle naturally”—a process that, according to their technician, could take anywhere from two months to ten years. I hired TerraFirma Foundation Systems to fully level my home, not to leave me with an incomplete job, inconsistent results, and vague promises. If you’re considering foundation work, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere—this company has left me with extensive damage, unexpected costs, and a significant amount of frustration."

"Replaced driveway ... excellent work ... competitive quote ... arrived early and completed the job ahead of schedule ... ran into a few problems but handled them in a creative manner ... very satisfied and would hire again"

"Excellent and would highly recommend. Jose is professional, quick to respond, and has a network of specialists. He provided us with options for addressing our needs, offered a fair quote, and completed the job in a timely manner. We have used Maximus construction for 3 jobs in the past year and have been impressed by the quality of work. It is a relief to finally have found a company that is dependable, reasonable, trustworthy, and guarantees their work!"

"He showed up and everything sounded great. Lots of promises and nothing followed through. I paid for a white vinyl fence. Apparently his supplier ordered wrong color and they wouldn’t reorder because the pricing went up. So he came asking for more money to fix their screw up. He tried to pawn off that brown vinyl fence and we refused. Here we are 3+yrs later and still no fence or money."

"Highly recommended, on time good price polite and easy to work with."

"These guys were terrific! Friendly, informative, and very fairly priced. The work has held up perfectly and they did an absolutely fantastic job!"

"Kody did a wonderful job. Our back, sides, and front yard, as well as our roof, look amazing. All the blackberry bushes are gone and have been sprayed. Great price as well he came as close as he could to the budget I was trying to stay at. Can't wait to see what we come up with for the landscaping grass fireplace and room for a garden."

"We were extremely impressed by the work Terra-Sol did for us. Dave was very helpful in creating a design for our entire front yard and the team knocked out all the work in a couple of days. The yard looks great and we're very glad we hired this Terra-Sol to do this work!"

"See ratings. I use them weekly for yard maintenance"
