What this service is
Shreveport Foundation Services is a free quote-matching service. You describe a foundation or crawl space problem once: a stair-step crack in the brick, a door that started sticking, a floor that dips or feels soft, a crack in the slab under the carpet, or water and a musty smell in the crawl space. We share that request with independent foundation repair and crawl space companies that work in your area. Those companies contact you, look at the home in person and give you a quote. You decide whether to hire anyone.
What it isn't
We are not a contractor, and we are not one of the similarly named foundation businesses you may see in local search results. We don't inspect homes, set piers, level floors, replace sills or joists, install vapor barriers, pull permits, set prices or write warranties. We don't hold a contractor license, because we don't do the work. The companies you hear from do all of that under their own names, licenses, insurance and contracts.
Nothing on this site is engineering, legal or insurance advice, and nobody here will tell you what your foundation needs. For that, talk to the companies you meet and, for bigger problems, an independent structural engineer.
Shreveport Foundation Services is an independent quote service and is not affiliated with any foundation repair company.
How we're paid
The service is free for homeowners, and there's no obligation to hire anyone. Like most quote services, we may be paid by the participating companies that receive requests. That money comes from them, not from you; the service itself charges homeowners nothing. Because companies pay to take part, treat every proposal as a sales offer: compare two or three, and check each company yourself.
How to check a company before you sign
Louisiana license and permit check. Louisiana's contractor board (LSLBC) changed its thresholds on August 1, 2024. Home improvement registration now covers most projects of $7,500 to under $50,000, but structural work such as foundations, footings and floor slabs is excluded from "home improvement", so foundation repair over $7,500 generally calls for an LSLBC-licensed contractor. Look the company up at lslbc.louisiana.gov and ask for the license number, proof of liability insurance and the permit. If a job falls near a line, confirm with the LSLBC.
- Get the scope in writing. Slab or pier and beam, the method, the number of piers or the beams and joists involved, cleanup, and the total price.
- Ask about the permit. Structural repairs generally need a permit from your city or parish; your contractor should pull it. Shreveport's Permits and Inspections office handles Shreveport and most of Caddo Parish; Bossier City, Greenwood, Haughton, Minden and Stonewall have their own offices, and Benton and unincorporated Bossier Parish use Code Inspections Plus; confirm with your town.
- Read the warranty. Ask what the warranty covers, whether it transfers to a buyer, and get it in writing.
- Know your cancel rights. Louisiana's home solicitation law (R.S. 9:3538) gives a 3-business-day right to cancel many in-home sales of $25 or more, but it may not apply when you contacted the company yourself or to emergency repairs already under way. Ask whether a cancel right applies and get it in writing.
- Consider an engineer first. For large pier or leveling jobs, quotes that disagree, or a home you're buying or selling, an independent LAPELS-licensed professional engineer (typically $300–$1,000, per This Old House) gives a second opinion from someone who isn't selling the repair. See foundation inspections.
- Termites are a separate trade. If a crawl space shows rot or termite damage, treatment is done by a pest control operator licensed by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, not the foundation company.
Louisiana's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (R.S. 51:1405) makes deceptive acts in trade unlawful. If a deal goes wrong, complaints go to the Louisiana Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section. The Attorney General's office also suggests getting several bids, avoiding large down payments and signing only a written contract that lists the contractor's license number.
Where requests go
We take requests from Shreveport, Louisiana and the rest of Caddo Parish, and from Bossier City, LA across the Red River. We also take requests from Benton, LA and Haughton, LA in Bossier Parish, Greenwood, LA, Blanchard, LA and Keithville, LA in Caddo Parish, Minden, LA in Webster Parish and Stonewall, LA in north De Soto Parish, plus smaller places such as Vivian, Mooringsport, Princeton and Doyline. See all service areas, read how the process works or check typical prices in the foundation repair cost guide.
Why this area? Shreveport's housing is older than much of the surrounding area: the median home was built in 1973 and about 65% were built before 1980 (Census ACS 2020–2024). Much of Caddo and Bossier parishes is also mapped in clay soils with high to very high shrink-swell potential (USDA NRCS soil data), and the area has both kinds of homes that raise questions: slabs on newer streets, and many older homes on piers over a crawl space. That makes for plenty of homeowners with questions about cracks, sticking doors and soft floors, and a quote service makes it easier to hear from more than one company.
