Photo Album: Smart Jacks Out Perform Temporary Jacks in Columbia, SC
Dora H. is a homeowner in Columbia, SC who has an issue with her sagging floors. She decided to do something about it. She called a contractor to come in and raise her floor with temporary jacks. Now at the time Dora didn’t realize that these jacks weren’t designed to be a lasting solution. As soon as she noticed this she called them back and didn’t get a response. After hearing from a friend about Cantey Foundation Specialists she decided to give us a call. Specialist John Adams came out to Dora’s home and explained to her that Cantey’s patented Smart Jack system was the solution she was looking for. Team Leader Israel, Team Member Jonathan, and Team Member Austin were sent to Dora’s home and efficiently installed the Smart Jacks. Dora was so happy that we could the job right. “I don’t like that I wasted money the first time with those other guys, but I’m glad Cantey was able to do the job right.”
