General Contractor reviews in Arcadia, Florida

I paid the deposit to lift my house based upon their initial evaluation. However, they said that new floor joists would be necessary prior to lifting. When structural engineer evaluated the house, it was deemed unsalvageable and could not safely be lifted. This was relayed back to Davie Shoring. I sent multiple emails and left several voicemails to stop all progress but they continued to move forward including creating drawings and submitting permits in spite of me specifically telling them to stop. They then kept $19,000 of my deposit to pay for work that I told them not to do. Radio silence after that. Now I am having to seek out a lawyer to recoup my losses. Simple return of phone call could have saved all of this.

Marie at Davie Shoring has been an incredible support person during a long permitting process. She is always responsive and positive and willing to go the extra mile to help!

Without my permission, this company used my property as a staging area for their customers job, my contractor could not close his demo permit on my vacant lot because Davie Shoring had concrete blocks and fence paneling they removed so they could access access their customers house and an air conditioning wall hanger And miscellaneous other debris on my property. I had to call 10 times to get them to come remove the cinderblocks still fighting with them to remove the rest of their customers debris that’s on my vacant lot ended up having to talk to the regional manager the folks at the company seem incompetent and want to blame others for their mistakes.

There are reasons they have so many low reviews. They are great at marketing, leveraging media contacts, creating lifting events but when they pull away you may still have lingering quality and workmanship issues like we did. We had cracks, etc that were not fixed. Expect it to cost more, take longer and have some issues when all done.

One of the best decisions we have ever made was to lift our house, allowing us to continue living in the place we love. After losing nearly everything from hurricane Ian surge we interviewed 3 different lifting companys and, fortunately, chose Davie Shoring. Ours is a 55 year old house with multiple additions. We feared, going in, that there would be challenges. And there were. The lifting crew from Davie Shoring was amazing. Josh and Isaac had the experience and knowlege to handle the surprises that arose with a "don't worry, we got this" attitude. And the results were perfect. My many phone calls with questions were answered quickly and accurately. Jonathon, Grace and Isaac were always very friendly and helpful. The job was done as quoted and on time.
We are so very happy and thankful to Davie Shoring!

The communication during the process was extremely helpful as we were not on site for most of the work. Notably Bruce from Davie consistently updated me on the progress which was very comforting knowing he was actively engaged. The back office team was very helpful as well and I took great comfort that I had chosen the right team to complete this project - very happy and appreciative of all their hardbwork.

I signed a contract to have my home elevated in October 2024. During this project, I had reached out to multiple site, supervisors for questions or updates on the progress, such as permitting surveys, and a start date of the project. Without success of getting a return call or text, I called the main office in Louisiana. I had the pleasure of talking to Miss Marie Taylor On numerous occasions. I would confide to her my questions and without fail, she would get the answers. She goes the extra mile to make you feel you are a valued customer. Marie has shown excellent customer service skills while speaking with me. She is always so polite, caring and eager to assist. In my opinion, Marie has Has proved to be a 10 star employee of Davies Shoring. It is also my opinion that Davie Shoring is very fortunate to Have her answering the phones and handling concerns as well as she has with me. She is definitely a gem and greatly deserves this recognition. Thanks for all your assistance Marie!
