Best professional work I have had done on my house! I highly recommend this gentleman. Badger was prompt to the work site, gave a good estimate, laid out all that would take place and the timeframe. He coordinated the concreate work. He stayed on top of the process and kept me in the loop during the entire project. It is amazing how he does this and the end result is perfect. I planned to do this for 18 years and did I tap into the perfect guy for the job!

It was quite amazing how this was all performed and I had several neighbors come by asking "How did he do that?". Badger was great to work with, he was professional, on time, and on budget.

Badger has many years of experience moving and repairing old buildings and did a great job for me at a very reasonable price. He saved me thousands of dollars by fixing my old garage instead of having to tear it down and build a new one.

One Happy Customer!

Man, this garage "renovation" is the best thing ever. I'm out there working on bikes, and I can find dropped parts. Everything stays cleaner--no dirt in my tools!

My garage is a floating concrete slab design (no footings), which was common back in the day, and it has sunk over the past 90 years or so, to where the wall bottoms were below the floor slab, which was causing the exterior wall bottoms to deteriorate. In lieu of building a new garage ($60,000 replacement cost), I had it raised by Badger & Zaps LLC [Mobile

(612) 363.4666] for about 20% of the cost. The best parts are that I did not have to empty the garage, and all that construction debris did not go into the landfill. They jacked up the garage enough to have a new 6-8" sloped concrete slab poured over the existing slab. They also cut off the rotten sill plate and replaced it with a new pressure treated 2x4. Then all I had to do is hire a stucco contractor to patch the bottom of the walls which had rotted out. 

I live in a Craftsman house from 1920 that came with a not-as-old but very leaning garage. I avoided dealing with that for 16 years until I hit the wall on paying my annual garage door repair man. The luckiest Google search of my life led me to Badger & Zaps. I had low expectations I'd even get a reply to my query, but the low expectations were dispelled when I got a call from Frank within a couple of days.

He came out within a few days of that, assessed, and estimated two ways to fix my garage. I opted for the straighten + new slab/floor route; the whole project took less than a week and I have essentially a new garage for a fraction of the new garage cost! Badger and Zaps said what they would do--and then did it, all for the quoted price. I don't think I've ever had a smoother and more impressive home project. Cannot recommend enough!

Repaired and saved my old two story garage ~ I have a 100-year-old, two story stable/garage, that was leaning badly. The wood sill around the base had rotted away and the previous owner had driven through the back wall. It's a unique old structure and I wanted to save it if possible, but most contractors told me they didn't know how to fix it and that I should tear it down.

I called Badger & Zaps and they promptly dropped by to take a look. After thinking about it for a day or two he came up with a way that he could stabilize the structure, jack the building up, replace the rotted wood and straighten it out. He also put me in touch with a concrete guy who was able to pour a new cement floor while it was up in the air! When he set it back in place it was as straight and plumb as new.

We originally found Badger through another contractor who highly recommended him. It was challenging to find someone that could lift our sinking garage, stabilize it and put everything back together. Everyone else told us, we would need to rebuild the entire structure. Badger was very fast to provide a quote for the job and we were pleasantly surprised at the cost. Once we agreed on everything and the weather warmed up, the job was very fast and smooth. He sent us before and after pictures as we live across the country, so we would be comfortable. He even worked with our tenant who was living there at the time and was not being the most cooperative. Badger found, scheduled and paid for storage for our tenant only charging us the cost of the unit. We were extremely satisfied with his work and the way he treated us. The garage was turn-key when he left. It is nerve-racking being a country away trying to work on a large project like this. After we hired Badger, we never worried about it again. It is wonderful, and he is an extremely nice guy. We cannot recommend him enough. We would hire again!

Badger saved our garage! We were seeing our garage slowly but surely tilt and sink into the ground as the slab it was resting on was sinking. This was beginning to cause damage to the structure and the door. We investigated sand/mud jacking, but those options wouldn't work for our garage, and we were referred to Badger by a sand/mud jacking contractor. We were so grateful that his services could be engaged because our next option was to have a new garage built which would've cost about triple what we ended up paying (and eaten up most of the equity in our home in the process).

Badger lifted our garage "magically" off the ground, which then allowed for a concrete pouring crew to come in, break up the old slab, and pour a new one. The whole process took less than a week to complete from start to finish, and Badger was an extremely straight shooter with us the entire time. His quote was accurate, and his business practices were sound. One thing I particularly appreciate about Badger over other experiences I've had with other types of contractors is that he never tried to "upsell" us on additional or fancier services than what we had contacted him for. Anyone who has had the "pleasure" of a contractor who is contracted to replace a window but tries to sell you an entire home remodel can surely understand how much of a relief it is to work with someone who simply comes in to do a job and wants to do it done well.

Our garage was fixed over a year ago and I can confidently say that there has been plenty of time for any flaws in the workmanship to manifest. This was a flawless job done right by a straight shooter. Thank you, Badger!
