Josh and his crew were wonderful to work with! They poured a slab foundation for us and it turned out great. Josh kept us informed every step of the way and they were quick and efficient. We were super happy we went with them for our project. We plan to use them again for any future needs and would definitely recommend!

If we could give these guys 100 stars we would. We entrusted Solid Foundation Construction with a $100,000 project, and they exceeded our expectations. This project was for ministry purposes. Therefore, it was important for us to be good stewards over the entire project. What impressed us most was that they stayed on budget and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. There were no surprises, and they honored their commitments. We also appreciated their Christian values, which were evident in the way they conducted business—with integrity, respect, and genuine care for us as clients. From beginning to end, they were professional, honest, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship. Josh and his entire team were excellent to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and made what could have been a stressful project a great experience. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust with a significant investment, I highly recommend Solid Foundation LLC. Their quality, character, and professionalism set them apart.

Solid foundation is more than a business. From day one, you will be able to observe this an extension of their life work- to be a blessing to all those they serve. The attention to detail and customer service go far beyond whatever I have ever experienced. I am beyond blessed to have done business with them and have received more than what they got from me. Beyond grateful and glad they do business in Birmingham.

After major water damage in my condo, Solid Foundations came in and absolutely saved the day. Their team was incredibly professional, always on time, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations and my place looks even better than it did before the damage! I couldn’t recommend their services more. If you need a contractor you can truly trust, Solid Foundations is the one

Josh, Ryan and the Solid Foundation team did a great job on our bathroom remodel. They were prompt in providing an accurate estimate. The quality of the work was top notch. The job was completed on time as promised and they were meticulous in their clean up after the job was complete.

I had an exceptional experience working with Solid Foundation on projects around my home. The crew is timely and respectful, the attention to detail far exceeded my expectations, the price was fair, and the clean up was impressive (even the paint cans were clean!). I highly recommend Solid Foundation and look forward to using them again in the future!

Thank you to Josh and his crew! It has been a journey and a big remodel. I had TRUST every step of the way. I was never worried about things because I knew I was in good hands. Trust that the job would be done right, trust that the problems would be solved and trust that the price would be fair. The crew of men were respectful and good at their jobs. It has been a delightful experience!
