Why BratchCo
The Arkansas foundation repair difference.
Engineer-led visits. ICC-certified piers. Lifetime transferable warranty. Locally owned.
The honest comparison
Why BratchCo versus the budget bid?
Most Arkansas homeowners get three foundation quotes. Two of them are designed to win on price. One of them — ours — is designed to win on permanence. Here is exactly what changes.
| Item | Typical contractor | BratchCo |
|---|---|---|
| Pier system | Concrete pressed pilings | ICC-ES certified steel push or helical piers |
| Pier depth | 8–14 ft (often surface only) | 18–28 ft to refusal at load-bearing strata |
| Engineering scope | Verbal estimate | Written scope, P.E.-stamped on request |
| Elevation map | Eyeballed | 1/16-inch laser map of every room |
| Drainage analysis | Not included | Site hydrology audit included |
| Crew | Subcontracted day labor | Closed-cell BratchCo employees |
| Documentation | Verbal at completion | Photo + elevation report at completion |
| Warranty | 5–10 year limited | Lifetime transferable structural |
| Warranty transferable at sale | Sometimes (paperwork fee) | Yes, no fee |
| Track record | Varies | Engineer-led, lifetime warranty |
A budget bid that fails in 5 years isn't cheaper. It's a delayed full price plus the repair to your finishes. Engineered foundation work is the only foundation work that pays for itself.
