One question to ask about a pier installation estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Do you want the pier plan only, or a drainage price before anyone drills? Put $13,600 in the email so they know which pier installation you mean.

Included and left out

Included: six push piers on the settling corner, and a letter with the elevations we took. Left out: drainage correction, which may be why the corner moved. The price is the piers at that corner. It does not fix water that is still soaking the footing. Do not promise the crack will close.

If you send it from QuoteLasso
