Why has your foundation repair salesperson not completely answered these and all of your other questions?

There are a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that a foundation salesperson is really no different than a car salesperson, he/she will not make any money if you do not buy something.

Completely answering all of your questions might lead you to the conclusion that you do not need all of the repairs. Maybe that you do not need them at all! Some foundation repair salespeople seem to think that withholding information is not the same thing as lying.

We are not saying that all foundation salespeople are the same, some are very honest and knowledgeable. The problem is that if you do not have experience in this area it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to know what to believe or who to trust. This is exactly why you need an expert to advise you, someone who will make sure that you do not get ripped off.

Remember that most foundation salespeople work on a commission, this includes the honest ones, and the more repairs they sell the higher their commissions will be.

Another reason could be that the salesperson giving you your estimate simply does not have enough knowledge because of improper training and limited experience.

There is a very high turn over rate in foundation repair salespeople and many are never properly trained. Some companies even depend on a high turnover rate as one of their lead sources. Once a new salesperson has exausted his list of friends and relatives, he is replaced someone else and the cycle continues.

Many companies proudly advertise the length of time they have been in the business. It is much more important to know how long the salesperson who is doing your estimate has been in the business and how long the crew that will work on your home has been in the business.

You could end up with a 40 year old company who sends out a new inexperienced salesperson to do your estimate and then send a crew that has only been doing foundation repair for a month or two. Not an ideal situation...
