    Fair pricing, quality workmanship, and good old-fashioned honest service!

    Pushy salespeople are a turn off, which is why I found Bub refreshing! I always felt like I was the boss and every decision was my own. We discussed my options while he educated and offered me his advice, but never told me what I needed to do — he left this up to me to decide and encouraged me to take my time with my decisions.

    I received multiple estimates but my gut told me to go with GFR. I asked Bub to stop by once more after I had cleared out my basement so that he could do one more walk through and us finalize the project. Once finalized, lucky for us, his crew was able to come the very next day due to finishing up a job nearby! This was a blessing because we had one concerning section of a wall that needed to be addressed as soon as possible.

    I trusted that his crew would be more experienced than other competitors and represent Bub’s code of ethics — which they sure did! They arrived prepared and ready to work hard every day. They demonstrated respect and did a great job of tuckpointing cracked brickwork outside my home, reinforcing shearing with mortar and installing 12 wall beams in my basement. When I made any additional requests, they were quick to do them without hesitation. I was very pleased with their work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond.

    Bub stopped by on day 1 to check the progress on the job and stopped by a second time when the job was completed. He made it a priority that I was completely satisfied before accepting payment.

    I highly recommend the good people at Goodwin Foundation Repair!

    I met Bub when he did the foundation on one side of my 3 story 150 year old house about 15 years ago. His crew was great. They started the job when they said they would, took care of any concerns I had and worked hard every day until the job was done. The price was reasonable and workmanship was excellent. A few years later they did a repair on another section of the house that was built on. After that I had them tile the other side of my basement where there had been water every spring since I was a kid. It's been dry ever since. Recently I noticed structural damage on a deck after all the snow we had. The crew rebuilt the deck in a timely manor since I thought it might be unsafe and did a great job. It was the same crew that worked on my house 15 years ago. They are wonderful people to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.

    We called Bob to get an estimate for an unlevel Four Seasons room. He came within a couple days to give us the estimate and scheduled the work for the next business day. Bob and his crew provided excellent customer service. The guys were very efficient, dependable, experienced and friendly. They were very careful and covered the surrounding landscaping. The job was completed in just a few days and we were very pleased with the results. Thank you to Bob and his crew.

    I was lucky to find such a great team of guys to work on my basement! They take the time to ask you if there is anything else you’d like them to do or if you have any questions. They are friendly, very understanding, respectful, and hard working! Excellent team!!!

    These guys did an amazing job with the basement, supporting the walls and making sure the holes were filled in. They answered our questions and completed our requests. They deserve a 10.

    My husband and I purchased a house built in 1904 with an old red brick foundation. Goodwin came out and did a very thorough inspection, explained the options for repair and answered all our questions (we had A LOT). They completed the work quickly and did an excellent job!! After it was complete they walked us through the work they did and showed us how to care for the new refinished walls so that the work lasts. I can't say enough good things about them! Highly recommend!

    We were very pleased with the service provided by Goodwin Foundation Repair. The employees worked hard and did an excellent job. We’ve actually had them work on two projects over the years and were very pleased each time. The workers were courteous, respectful, knowledgeable and professional. We’d surely recommend the firm.

    The Goodwin team did a great job with our cracked and bowed basement walls They installed all the necessary braces, caulked and painted the walls in only one day. Better yet, by the time they were done the walls were pretty much straight.

    These gentlemen did a fantastic job on my house! They did all aspects of the leveling, sill replacement, wall repair and concrete. They even graded my lot to ensure proper drainage away from my foundation and basement. And their pricing beat out all of their competitors! Also, they really listened to me and involved me in planning their course of action. I absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs foundation work of any kind.

    Mr. Goodwin conducted an assesment of my foundation of my home in Kalona. As a single women it is important that I work with agencies that are trust worthy, respectful, and reputable. Mr. Goodwin fulfilled each of those requirements. He answered each one of my many questions and provided thorough information leading me to make the educated decisions regarding my foundation. Highly recommend Goodwin Foundation Repair.
