Sean D.
Experienced General Contractor,specialising in Foundation. Seismic retrofit,Structural Upgrade. Earthquake Upgrade,Additions and Remodeling. My backround in construction is in foundation work,structural & framing general carpentry. As a result of this , project layout and blueprint reading have become second nature. This leads to the project being complete according to architect and engineering specifications and in many cases I have spotted in advance unforeseen problems which can be rectified before the situation arises. Also from experience & expertise I can suggest to the owner savings and improvements on structure and design. Being budget consious to each home owner's project with very reasonable pricing is also part of the job. Work well with the home owner ,architect and engineer, and only too willing to assist with project design ,developement and permits. Friendly and efficent to work with and will bring your project in on schedule.

Sean is a an excellent contractor. He built a foundation under our front porch. Throughout the project, he was punctual, knowledgeable, a great communicator, a skilled expert, and he brought in a qualified crew. I would hire him again in a second.

Friendly, helpful, and communicative, Sean has helped me numerous times on concrete and other projects.
The sidewalk of my house sloped water to flow under my garage instead of away from the house. Unsurprisingly, this caused dry rot, termite sightings... Not only did Sean fix the problem (goodbye termites!), he made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Sean is also great at following my engineer's designs, a big plus.
Looking forward to working with Sean again in the future.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0 - Ell B.San Mateo, CA615018Apr 8, 2023
I don't even know where to begin. Sean was so knowledgeable, thorough and easy going. I can't remember the last time I worked with someone so competent but also with plenty of common sense who wasn't just trying to make as much money as possible off my situation. After his inspection, I was relieved by all the good news and he left me with some differing options for plans of action for the issues he saw. He was so, so giving of his time and patience, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I've been a San Francisco Bay Area Realtor for 16 years and have spoken with, and met, MANY foundation "experts". Sean is leagues better; more knowledgeable, and more solution focused than any foundation expert or engineer I've met. He is officially now my "go to foundation guy" and I will personally utilize his services for my own properties and will also recommend him to any client who is looking for exceptional service and guidance.

Sean is responsive, knowledgeable, and super friendly! We were able to schedule a consultation within 3 days. My husband could tell within minutes of meeting Sean that he was trustworthy and honest -- very hard to find these days! Thank you, Sean :)

I reached out to Sean on Yelp to check if my extremely-uneven floors were indicative of a serious problem. He was very responsive and came over a few days later to do an inspection. Sean was honest with me about my options and didn't try to sell me on any of them, which I appreciated. Although I didn't end up using his services this time around, his professional opinion gave me peace of mind regarding the structural integrity of my home. Thanks a lot Sean!

I had a great experience working with Foundations R Us on our foundation repair. Very knowledgeable, prompt and kept us in the loop. They also helped us make sure we were making the most cost-effective choices.

Our foundation was badly damaged and need to replace. We called a few different foundation contractors and decided to choose this company. Sean is super knowledgable and responsible. He always response to my message and phone calls. He is on time and he does everything he promises. He went above and beyond to do some extra services for us. He made sure my house is strong and secured by adding more beams to support the house. He also fixed another part of the foundation, which was not discussed at the beginning of the project. He is honest and transparent. He is aways on top of everything and always makes sure the place is clean and tidy everyday after they finish the job. The most important thing is that he finished the project on time. I'm super happy with the result and the whole experience working with Sean was very easy. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. I will go to him if I need any help about construction in the future.

Sean and his crew performed some seismic work on our home that has provided us great peace of mind. It has been 32 years since the "Not-Quite-Big-One" earthquake in 1989 and we wanted to feel safer and protect the biggest investment we own.
Sean is very helpful, forthright, and trustworthy, and was flexible in working with us. He cared about us as his client and went the extra mile to ensure the work was the highest quality. His crew worked hard and spent the end of each day cleaning up and sweeping the garage, which was appreciated. I highly recommend Foundations R Us!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeremie Y.Daly City, CA3401018Oct 5, 2020
We have a soft story in a 2 unit building that needed retrofitting and got a thorough initial assessment by Sean. He took his time in inspecting every area and touched on every component that is essential to reinforce the garage. A seismic retrofit can be a very expensive project and he is not a proponent of overkilling with upgrades. While safety is not something to discount, he helps in understanding costs benefit of components and which will stretch the furthest for the money spent. It was a very productive consultation. We felt comfortable through all of the questions we asked.

Sean is a very knowledgable person. I'm happy I hired him to check out the house with me and my husband on a house tour. It helps us decide how much we can offer for the house with structural and other system concerns. He gave us information about different types of foundation and how it works. He also give us options to repair those problem effectively without getting us broke. What I appreciate the most is the fact that he just pointed out the problems of the house and things we should do first if we get the house. He didn't try to sell himself for the job. We got him for an hour to check out the house and he didn't waste a second of the time. I don't think he breathed much( LOL) because he tried to give as much information as possible within the time we had. I highly recommend Sean. And if I get the house, I'll definitely hire him to work on my house!
