Customer Paul P. of Columbia, SC began noticing cracks inside and outside his home.  He also noticed that his floors were sloping in certain areas, which concerned him.  Calling Cantey Foundation Specialists for a free estimate, System Design Specialist Will Yarbrough inspected the home, and he advised Paul to replace his old crawl space jacks because they were no longer supporting the structure.  Cantey sent in Production Crew Foreman Matt Garcia and his crew to replace the jacks with our patented SmartJack System.  Our SmartJacks are made out of galvanized steel so they are strong and resistant to corrosion, and our SmartJacks also solve the issue of problematic soils which created the problem in the first place!

Professional Aluminum Gutter Installation in Columbia

Your gutters are more important than you may think. Healthy gutters help maintain a healthy home, transporting water and debris from your roof and safely depositing it away from areas where it can cause damage. While you might think faulty or ineffective gutters limit damages to the roof, think again. Foundations can be at risk as well. Without properly-fitted, high-quality seamless gutters, you might find yourself with a wet basement, leaky roof, or other avoidable household issues. You need a gutter contractor you can trust to make sure the job gets done right.

Cantey Foundation Specialists installs durable seamless gutters constructed from single pieces of high-strength aluminum. With this construction technique, our aluminum gutters avoid the pitfalls of traditional seamed gutters, like debris clogs. Seamless gutters are just one component of our fully-customized gutter systems. We install innovative gutter guards as well, which permanently eliminate the need to clean your gutters. We can guarantee a clog-free seamless gutter experience with safe water evacuation for years to come!

We are the Columbia area’s premier gutter contractor, specializing in aluminum gutter installation, gutter guards, downspout extensions, and more. Call us today for your no-cost, no-obligation gutter replacement estimate!

Columbia Home Touble Selling Because of Front Porch

Michael M. bought his home in 1980 and decided that now he would like to sell it, the only problem is that Michael's home has a foundation issue. His front porch has sank beyond a level of acceptance for anyone. He noticed it 15 years ago and decided not to do anything about it until now.  This has put a lot of stress on Michael seeing that the home is in disrepair, and the eye sore on the front porch could potentially scare away home buyers. Michael, full of frustration, sees Cantey's Facebook page and decides to give them a call. He gets in contact with Specialist Alex Lovette, who comes to Michael's home and gives him a free inspection of his front porch. Alex then explains to Michael that Cantey's patented PolyLevel process can fix his problem and help him sell his house. Team Leader Roberto, and Team Member Nick quickly dispatch to Michael's home and begin working.  Afterwards, Michael is very pleased with the results.  The crew was able to raise his porch and level it out, sealing off the gaps and making his home look cleaner and more presentable for potential home buyers. Now Michael can sell his home with peace of mind that Cantey did the job right.

Basement Water Damage including Foundation Wall in Columbia

Patrick B. called Cantey Foundation Specialists because he (and his renters) were concerned about the kitchen floor falling in, water damage, and a disintegrating foundation wall.  Patrick tried to fix the problems himself; however, he realized that he needed a more permanent solution so that he could have peace of mind.  

Cantey installed 4 SmartJacks at the height of almost 7 feet tall, created a drainage system, and rebuilt the foundation wall with brackets to stabilize until Patrick was able to continue with renovations.

Now, Patrick has a more durable solution for his problems!
