Sanderson Quality Construction handles both commercial construction and residential foundation repairs, structural stabilization, basement construction, and custom construction projects. The team also serves as experienced building movers for structural relocations, including house lifting and storage building moving. We also take on custom homes and remodels, especially those that require deep foundation and framing expertise.

Yes. We offer free inspections and consultations for foundation repairs and structural work. Each evaluation includes a close look at soil conditions, structural load paths, and any signs of foundation settlement before recommending the best path forward.

Look for cracks in walls or floors, sagging or uneven flooring, doors and windows that stick, or gaps around trim. These symptoms are often linked to soil subsidence, expansive clay soils, or moisture fluctuations in soil beneath your foundation. Addressing them early can prevent larger structural issues and more costly home foundation repairs down the road.

In some cases, yes. Homeowners insurance may cover foundation damage when it’s caused by a sudden, covered event such as a burst pipe or accidental water damage. However, damage related to soil movement, settlement, or long-term moisture issues is typically not covered. Coverage depends on the specific policy and cause of the damage.
Foundation repair costs vary based on the size of the structure, the extent of the damage, and the soil conditions beneath the foundation. The repair method, site access, and whether structural adjustments or soil stabilization are required also play a role. After an inspection, we provide clear recommendations so you understand what’s driving the scope of work.
Yes. Properly completed foundation repairs can help protect or even improve home value by restoring structural stability. Addressing foundation issues early also reassures buyers that the home has been professionally evaluated and repaired. But unresolved foundation problems can negatively impact resale value.
Yes. All of our foundation contractors are fully licensed and meet all applicable state and local requirements for foundation repair work. Proper licensing helps ensure every project is completed safely, correctly, and in compliance with current building codes and regulations.
Foundation damage is usually covered when it results from a sudden, accidental event included in your insurance policy. Damage caused by gradual soil movement, erosion, poor drainage, or long-term settlement is typically excluded. Each policy is different, so it’s important to confirm coverage details directly with your insurance provider.
Depending on the issue, we may use foundation underpinning, structural foundation repair, or deep support systems like micropiles and pile and beam systems. When soil instability is a factor, we may apply pressure grouting or other soil stabilization techniques. The repair method is always tailored to your structure, your soil, and your goals for long-term performance.

Most residential foundation repairs are completed within a few days to a few weeks. Timelines depend on the size of the structure, access to the site, and whether basement foundation repairs or structural adjustments are involved. We always provide a clear schedule before work begins.

Helical piers are steel supports that anchor deep into stable soil to transfer building loads away from unstable areas. They’re commonly used when foundation settlement or shifting soils compromise structural integrity. In many cases, they provide a permanent solution for challenging foundation repairs.
Yes. We’re experienced building movers and regularly take on house lifting and full structural relocation projects. These jobs require detailed planning, temporary support systems, and carefully coordinated foundation repairs to keep the structure stable throughout the move.

Yes. We can build new basements, and we can also perform full basement foundation repairs. These projects often include foundation underpinning, basement waterproofing, and adjustments to increase foundation load capacity. Every solution is engineered to support the structure above safely.

Yes. We correct uneven concrete slabs caused by concrete settlement using methods like slabjacking, mudjacking, or grout injection, depending on the site conditions. These repairs restore function and stability without requiring full slab replacement.

Yes. We offer custom home remodels, from major layout changes to ground-up construction. Our home renovation services are built around careful planning, quality craftsmanship, and a clear understanding of how structural changes affect the entire home. The result is a finished space that looks right, functions well, and is built to last.

Yes. We regularly repair and reinforce aging or historic homes. These projects often require specialized foundation repairs to address outdated construction methods or long-term foundation movement. We tailor each solution to match the structure’s age, materials, and character.
