UNUSUAL PROJECT IN HACIENDA HEIGHTS
Homeowner Michelle C. had a special request. In the backyard of her Hacienda Heights home was a bench that has historical significance. Michelle noticed that the bench was beginning to sink and needed support. Project Design Specialist Brian N. proposed a solution of PolyLevel to fill the voids underneath the bench. In her review of Brian, Michelle writes, " I was very impressed with the service from the beginning to the end. I was even more satisfied when I received the estimate for the work that I need to have done. Brian was very professional." When Foreman Scott arrived with his crew, they began the installation of the PolyLevel. The Poly was lifting the entire slab in the wrong direction. Upon consultation with Manager Curtis, an alternative of two helical piers was suggested to Michelle. She was in agreement that this would provide the best solution. The Poly was removed and the piers were installed. She writes, "All of your service techs have been EXCELLENT! The entire process from start to finish was a pleasure. I can honestly say that I have never been so satisfied and happy!" When a project is not giving the desirable result, Saber will work until we find the very best permanent solution.
