Ward Construction provides services in the greater San Francisco Bay Area including, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Hayward, Marin and other East Bay and North Bay cities.

Here’s an example of the type of services provided:

Per the floor level survey, we will lift the majority of the rear of your home and a portion of the center to leave the entire lower portion of your home within approximately 1 inch of level.

An allowance has been included to install flex lines onto the water heater.No work to the rear deck is included. No stucco repair is included.

It is unclear how much the shearwall in the family room will lift.

Your home will be leveled from its existing foundation and no additional foundation work is included in this recommendation. As the house is raised, a crack will appear between the top of the foundation and the framing. We will grout this crack as necessary, with a high strength non-shrink grout, to support the house but it will be visible and will need additional cosmetic work later which is not included in our estimate.

We will adjust the existing adjustable steel jacks and extend the foundation bolts as necessary to provide anchorage. If the foundation bolts are missing or for some reason cannot be extended, we will secure the frame to the foundation with another method suited to the particular construction of the building. There may be an additional charge for attachment if the bolts are missing.
