Plain talk up front, because foundation trouble is stressful enough without wondering who you are actually dealing with. This page explains exactly what Little Rock Foundation Pros is, what it is not, and how the money works.
Little Rock Foundation Pros is a referral service for homeowners in the Little Rock metro who need foundation help. We publish plain English information about foundation problems in Central Arkansas, take your call or your form, and pass your request to a licensed local foundation contractor who serves your part of town. The contractor schedules the evaluation, inspects your home, and, if work is needed, quotes and performs it under a contract directly with you.
We exist because finding the right contractor cold is its own project. Foundation companies in this market range from national franchises with local offices to small local operators, and from the street they can be hard to tell apart. A homeowner with stair step cracks in the brick usually wants one thing: a qualified local contractor to come look at the house. Arranging that introduction is the whole of our job.
Arkansas requires a residential license for home improvement and foundation work on projects of $2,000 or more, which covers nearly every structural foundation job. Before a contractor receives referrals through this site, they must:
Once a contractor partner is active for this area, their legal name and Arkansas license number are published on this site, captioned as theirs, so you can verify both before anyone sets foot under your house.
The referral costs you nothing. Contractor partners pay us a flat fee for operating this marketing and referral service. That fee is the same whether your job is large, small, or never happens at all, and it is never a percentage of your contract and never a charge added to your bill. We do not sell your information to data brokers or to lists of unrelated companies; your details go to a contractor partner for the purpose of answering your request, as our privacy policy spells out.
Because our fee does not depend on your job, nothing about this service rewards steering you toward a bigger repair. If the contractor's honest answer is that your cracks are cosmetic and your foundation is fine, that answer costs us nothing and earns exactly what it should: your trust, and maybe your word of mouth.
Foundation behavior is local. The clay under a slab in Bryant, the rocky slope under a walkout basement in Chenal, and the hundred year old piers under a Quapaw Quarter house are three different problems that happen to share a name. The guides on this site are written from the ground conditions of this metro on purpose, so that when you talk to the contractor who evaluates your home, you can ask sharper questions and hear whether the answers match the ground you live on.
