Terms of Use

By using this website or submitting the quote form, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What this service is

Shreveport Foundation Services is a free quote and referral service. When you submit a request, we pass it to one or more independent foundation repair or crawl space companies serving your area so they can contact you. We are not a contractor, despite the word "Services" in our name. We don't inspect homes, perform repairs, pull permits or set prices, and we are not a party to any agreement you make with a company.

Free, with no obligation

The service is free for homeowners. Submitting a request doesn't obligate you to hire anyone or accept any quote. Participating companies may pay us for each request they receive; we do not charge homeowners for the service.

Independent companies

Companies you hear from are independent businesses, not our employees or agents. They set their own prices, schedules, warranties and contract terms. We can't promise that a company will respond, be available or quote a particular price, and we don't endorse or vouch for anyone's work. Before you hire:

• License: 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.
• Insurance: ask for proof of liability insurance.
• Permit: Structural repairs generally need a permit from your city or parish; your contractor should pull it.
• Written proposal: get the scope, method, price and warranty terms in writing, including whether the warranty transfers to a buyer.
• Cancel rights where they apply: 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.

Louisiana's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (R.S. 51:1405) makes deceptive acts in trade unlawful; complaints about a company go to the Louisiana Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section.

Not professional advice

Articles, cost ranges and the calculator on this site are general information, not engineering, legal or insurance advice. Prices are typical national ranges from published cost guides and change over time; your quote depends on an on-site inspection. Images are illustrations, not photos of specific jobs. For a structural concern, have the home looked at in person, ideally by an independent LAPELS-licensed structural engineer.

Consent to contact

When you submit the form, you confirm the information is accurate, that you're at least 18 and that you have the right to request work on the property. You agree that we and the matched companies may contact you by phone, text or email about your request, at the number and address you provide. You can ask us to stop at any time. The privacy policy explains how we handle your information.

Acceptable use

Don't submit false, spam or automated requests, try to get around the site's spam protection, disrupt the site, or copy its content for commercial use without permission.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is." To the fullest extent the law allows, Shreveport Foundation Services and its owner are not liable for any work performed, not performed or quoted by an independent company, or for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of this site. Some limitations may not apply to you where the law does not allow them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Questions? Call (318) 633-1685 or use the quote form. You can also read about this service.
