I am so impressed with this business. I needed information regarding a house I am considering to buy. USS looked foundation work on the house prior to the current owners so I reached out. Hilary was outstanding, so receptive and helpful. The General Manager was also very helpful. I will definitely reach out to USS in the future if I need foundation/structure assessment and or work. Thank you!!

Made a claim a month ago on work that was done back in 2021 and now I'm getting the run around, with no ETA of when someone can even come look at it. Would definitely NOT recommend.

This one-star rating is generous! We are seven weeks into a four-day job at our house! The have been back three times to finish the job and it is still not done. My back yard is a mud pit! I have been informed by the "office" that it will take two more weeks before I can be put on the schedule for a crew to come back. The crew is working from their Lancaster office, and the managers won't return phone calls and are hiding behind the receptionist. I work just a few miles from their Lexington office, so I decided to pop in and talk to a different person only to find out that there is no staff in this office. The website for the Lexington office has a picture of the building and posted hours of 9 am to 6 pm, but it is just a building with mailboxes and a few shared meeting rooms used by several companies. Customer service is absolutely horrible. Think twice before hiring USS!

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you, Gary, for communicating with us and allowing us to resolve your concerns. We are so happy that you are satisfied with the work that is now completed and apologize that it took longer than expected to complete. We look forward to the opportunity to offer you 5-star service in the future. Your satisfaction is our top priority!
