What recent reviews say

Olshan staff are known for turning away work they believe is unnecessary and explaining options clearly, with technicians like Jason, Jared, and Les consistently praised for honesty and knowledge. Field crews complete jobs with attention to cleanup and property respect, though one significant complaint details a leveling that failed within a year, leaving the owner responsible for repairing associated damage to paint, brick, patios, and landscaping.

Praised for
  • honest technicians who refuse unnecessary work
  • knowledgeable staff and detailed explanations
  • professional crew with strong follow-through
  • prompt appointment and communication
Watch-outs
  • warranty does not cover collateral damage from leveling
  • structural sinking after prior leveling work
  • limited accountability for secondary property damage

Common questions

Do your technicians charge for estimates if they find no work is needed?
No. Multiple reviewers report technicians (Dusty, Jared Dobbs, Les) performed free assessments and refused to charge when they determined work was unnecessary or outside the company's scope.
What does the warranty cover?
According to one review mentioning 90+ years in business, Olshan offers transferable warranties, though details are limited. One complaint notes the warranty does not cover collateral damage like painting, brick, landscaping, or patio damage caused by the repair work itself.
Are you available in Northwest Austin?
Yes. A recent review confirms service in Northwest Austin for pool deck raising.
