Do not try and get an engineering report on any project you do. They will inspect and provide a report saying what they want done, then when to comes to what you think would be the final inspection after completing everything they wanted. They will magically come up with even more 'issues' and charge you full price again. Absolutely diabolical behaviour from these people. They should not be in business. So basically in the end they want to triple charge you for any engineering inspection. Feel free to reply to this post if you want further information and evidence of their business practices.

A response to their response. Regardless of their rationalization, why take the risk just go with someone else. They gouged me for several thousand dollars. The next day I found another company that charged only $250 for the first walk through and $600 for the approval. That's way less than their initial inspection. These people are not good people.

I have an older home with a brick and mortar foundation. I had reached out to over 5 different foundation repair companies. I was ignored/ghosted by two. The third person said I would need to lift up the house and completely rebuild the foundation, costing over 100,000, and they weren’t helpful with my questions or concerns. The fourth one was offering an option that after researching wasn’t the right thing to do for a house that was the age of mine. Abarent Construction took the time to provide me with detailed recommendations, without fear mongering. I felt for the first time that I was being heard. I can’t recommend their company enough and look forward to working with them in the future.

When I discovered a horizonal crack in my home foundation, I reached out to all the foundation contractors in Edmonton. Abarent was the first to respond and come to site to prepare an estimate. Kevin offered his expert opinion and provided a quote promptly. During my evaluation process, I had a few questions and Kevin was always very helpful and quick to respond with excellent, unbiased advice. Once awarded, the project team was professional, courteous and efficient. They kept the site clean and tidy and diligently worked towards completing the job very timely. They were always there to answer any questions. When the job was completed they left the site clean and it was hard to notice they were even there. I am happy to recommend Abarent to anyone struggling with a foundation issue.

I only leave 5 star or 1 star reviews.

I spoke with Kevin as a part of getting three different companies to look at my possibly leaking foundation.

When we pulled up the carpet in our basement and took down the drywall, we noticed cracks in the foundation walls, and evidence of past water ingress into the basement, leading to disintegration of the nail boards holding the carpet. So, something needed to be done.

We contacted three companies: one that fixes cracks from the inside via polyurethane crack injection, and two that said to do it from the outside. For the reader's information, after twenty plus hours of deep research and going to the library and doing my own research, the best way to waterproof cracks is typically from the outside, unless you have some reason you cannot do that.

I spoke with Kevin as the final contractor of three different companies to give me a quote. Kevin was all business and to the point, and knew his stuff. He knew what my problems were before I told him based on his astute observations, and gave me a large handout that answered all my questions. Armed now with not only product information, but also application technique, I was hooked. This is exactly the information one needs to make a decision.

Kevin was actually the middle bid and was doing the job the way I wanted it.

We booked the job for April for after the ground is above -12C, and his crew was onsite Monday to Friday. The crew was clean, friendly, courteous, and pleasant. They did a fantastic job explaining, and applying the product.

The explained their after-project support and warranty, and I have full confidence in them for my needs once the ground settles and I need more rocks to cover.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the explanation, the products, the workers, and everything. I would have them back anyway, but hopefully, they never have to return to my house to do this!

First time home buyers - Abarent made a potentially overwhelming situation for us very easy.

Crack in the foundation discovered in inspection:
Abarent was available within 48 hours for a complete inspection of the foundation. Everything explained openly and transparently.

Home owners insurance company withheld groundwater and sewage backup insurance until crack was fixed:
Abarent fit us in within 8 days of possession.

Foundation repaired without ANY concerns:
Everything was explained openly and transparently; all questions were answered thoroughly by the crew.

Above and beyond expectations:
Without solicitation, the crew left the stone and rock to be returned to the original location of the crack laid out in order of how we should replace it - incredibly thoughtful!!
