“I had haushepherd do rebound hammer testing of my house's foundation, as part of my period maintenance. Jakob provided a reasonable cost estimate ahead of time, which he met, and the work was done in a timely and professional manner. He also took the time to explain the somewhat technical results, as well as providing a full report. I recommend haushepherd without hesitation.”
