Structural Repair, a house that feels solid underfoot

It usually starts with a floor with a slope you can feel through your feet. The hard part is not the work — it is that every structural company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Structural Repair in short

Structural repair services stabilize or restore the parts of a house that carry load: foundations, footings, basement and retaining walls, beams, joists and load-bearing walls. The common jobs are crack sealing, slab jacking, piering or underpinning, bowing-wall reinforcement, and house leveling. Costs range from about $200 for crack sealing to $20,000-$30,000 for lifting a house, per Fixr's 2026 data.

Foundation repair averages $5,179 nationally in 2026, with most projects between $2,224 and $8,134, according to This Old House. The method drives the price: crack sealing runs $200-$1,000, mudjacking $500-$1,900, carbon fiber wall reinforcement $4,000-$12,000, and underpinning or piering $10,000-$40,000, per Fixr's 2026 data.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the structural companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

What people say after they’ve hired

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first structural repair review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Structural Repair questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about structural repair.

This Old House puts the 2026 national average at $5,179, with most projects between $2,224 and $8,134. By method, Fixr's 2026 ranges run from $200-$1,000 for crack sealing up to $10,000-$40,000 for underpinning and $20,000-$30,000 for house lifting.
If the symptoms suggest movement — widening cracks, sloping floors, sticking doors, a bowing wall — yes. Today's Homeowner puts a residential structural engineer at $350-$800 on average, $400-$1,500 for a foundation inspection, or $70-$250 per hour in 2026.
Warning signs: diagnosis without an elevation survey, no written scope, prices that drop when you hesitate, refusal to provide the warranty document before signing, and no mention of drainage or the underlying cause. Get three bids against an independent engineer's scope.
No. This Old House describes hairline cracks as usually cosmetic curing shrinkage. What matters is change: a crack that appeared suddenly or keeps growing is the one to have looked at.
Yes, though it will affect price and buyer financing in some cases. Documented, engineer-specified, permitted and warrantied repairs are far easier to sell than an undisclosed or undocumented problem — and disclosure obligations are set by your state.

The wrong structural hire costs more than the right one.

Structural work needs an engineer before it needs a contractor. Skip that order and you are buying a repair nobody has proven you need. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
