Permanent Foundation Repair for Gulf Coast Homes
Houston and Galveston sit on expansive clay. It swells after heavy rain and shrinks in drought, and every cycle pushes and pulls on your foundation. That's why slabs crack, floors slope and doors stop closing across the Gulf Coast.
Expert House Movers fixes the cause, not just the symptoms. We skip temporary shims and install piers that reach stable soil, then bring your house back to level with controlled hydraulic lifting. Our own crews do the work - we never subcontract - and owner Joe Matyiko is on the job.

Does Your Home Need Foundation Repair?
Catching settlement early keeps a small repair from becoming a big one. Look for these signs:
Cracks in Brick or Walls
Stair-step cracks in exterior brick, cracks over doors and windows, or gaps opening at expansion joints.
Sticking Doors & Windows
Doors that drag, won't latch or show a gap at the top, and windows that suddenly stick, mean the frame has moved.
Sloping or Cracked Floors
Floors that slope or bounce, tile that cracks in a line, or baseboards pulling away from the wall.
Our Foundation Repair Process
Every house is different, so every repair starts with a free on-site inspection - no "overkill" sales pitch, and no repair that costs three times what it should.
- 1. Free inspection: we measure how far the house has moved, map the cracks and check drainage around the slab or crawl space.
- 2. Piers to stable soil: steel or concrete piers are driven down past the shifting clay until they bear on stable ground.
- 3. Hydraulic leveling: synchronized hydraulic jacks lift the house gently back to level, then the piers carry the load for good.
Raised or pier & beam home? We also replace rotted piers and beams and level pier & beam houses. If your home is in a flood zone, ask about house lifting and elevation at the same time.
