Pier & Beam Repair in San Antonio

2 contractors · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Older Texas homes — especially those built before the 1960s — were constructed on pier-and-beam foundations: a crawl space beneath wood framing supported by posts and beams resting on concrete footings or short piers. This system can actually handle Texas clay movement better than a slab because minor settlement can often be corrected without breaking concrete, but it requires periodic maintenance. Common problems include rotted or sagging wood beams, settled or tilted perimeter piers, moisture damage in the crawl space, and interior floor sag that worsens over time. Most repairs are completed from inside the crawl space without disturbing the living area, making pier-and-beam work less disruptive than equivalent slab jobs.

FAQ

Pier & Beam Repair in San Antonio - common questions

How many contractors offer pier & beam repair in San Antonio? +

Who has the best-rated pier & beam repair in San Antonio? +
By Google review volume, G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair is the most-reviewed pier & beam repair contractor in San Antonio (4.9★, 2,350 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
How much does pier-and-beam repair cost? +
Straightforward shimming and pier leveling typically runs $2,000–$5,000. Replacing rotted beams, sistering joists, or adding new interior piers adds to the cost. Scope varies widely — get a written estimate after a crawl-space inspection so the contractor can see actual conditions.
How long does pier-and-beam repair take? +
Most pier-and-beam leveling jobs are completed in one to two days. Complex beam replacements or extensive crawl-space work may take longer. Unlike slab work, there is no concrete curing time, so results are immediate.
Is pier-and-beam easier to repair than a slab? +
Often yes — the open crawl space lets contractors access framing without demolition, and shimming is a faster process than driving piers under concrete. However, pier-and-beam systems can also suffer from moisture, wood rot, or termite damage that adds significant scope to what looks like a simple leveling job.
