How foundation repair companies bill
Foundation stabilization is priced per pier installed, with an engineer's evaluation, excavation access and lifting attempts listed as separate items.
Foundation repair companies commonly use "Deposit at contract, balance due on completion of the lift", so the invoice is payable the day it is issued. Foundation contracts commonly take a deposit before the engineer's plan is permitted and the piers are ordered.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024: median hourly wage of Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers $26.28 (employees, not contractor rates).
Foundation Repair invoicing tips
- Number each pier to match the pier plan and list its driven depth and final installation pressure, because that log is what an engineer, a buyer's inspector or a warranty claim will ask to see.
- Show the elevation readings taken before and after the lift, so the customer can see how much the corner rose instead of judging the result by whether old drywall cracks closed.
- State whether your warranty transfers to the next owner and attach its number to the invoice, since homeowners usually look for it when they sell the house.
- Bill extra piers found necessary after excavation only with a signed change order that references the engineer's revised plan, rather than adding them to the original pier count.
Foundation Repair billing disputes to head off
- Customers often expect the house to return to perfectly level. Writing on the estimate and invoice that lift is attempted, not guaranteed, and that the piers are priced for stabilization prevents the most common complaint.
- Lifting a structure can crack drywall, stick doors or stress plumbing lines; listing those as possible side effects outside the price keeps follow-up repairs from becoming a free-work demand.

- Set the forms that hold concrete to the desired pitch and depth, and align them.

- Mold expansion joints and edges, using edging tools, jointers, and straightedge.
