About Tyler House Leveling

Tyler House Leveling is an independently operated local service connecting East Texas homeowners with local foundation crews, covering pier and beam releveling, slab foundation repair, sill and joist repair, and mobile home leveling across Tyler and the towns around it.

Why we work the way we do

Tyler sits in East Texas’s Piney Woods, and the ground under most of the city’s foundations is a sandy surface over a clay-rich subsoil, the kind of soil Smith County’s own soil survey maps as a Bowie-Cuthbert-Kirvin association. That soil swells and shrinks across a Tyler summer and a wetter fall, which is why a house that leveled fine three years ago can need it again now, and why a stuck door in a 1930s pier-and-beam house in the Azalea District and a stairstep crack in a 2015 slab home in Chandler can have the same root cause and different fixes.

Foundation repair has a reputation problem everywhere, and Texas makes it worse in one specific way: there is no state contractor license for the trade, so the filtering a license normally does is entirely on the homeowner. We built this service around three things that actually help.

A free level check first. An instrument reading of the floor, not a guess from the driveway, before any number gets quoted. If your floor reads within normal tolerance, you hear that instead of a sales pitch.

Published prices. Pier and beam releveling, per-pier costs, slab piling costs, sill and joist repair, crack repair, all listed on the pricing page before you ever call, because most companies in this trade make you ask.

Honesty about licensing, both ways. For site-built pier-and-beam and slab work, we tell you plainly that Texas has no state license for the trade, and to ask any crew what license, registration, and insurance they carry. For manufactured and mobile homes, Texas law is the opposite: installation, including leveling and tie-downs, requires a license and bond with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, so ask to see that license before the work starts.

Who does the work

Repairs are performed by local foundation crews who work Smith County’s soil: shimming and rebuilding piers under older pier-and-beam homes, driving pressed pilings and steel push piers under settled slabs, sistering rotted joists, and sealing the stairstep cracks that show up in brick veneer after a dry summer. Ask any crew what license, registration, and insurance they carry. Manufactured and mobile home releveling is the one part of this trade Texas does regulate: state law requires it be performed by an installer licensed and bonded with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, so ask to see that license before the work starts.

The honest limits

We do not print license numbers, years in business, staff names, or a physical address, because none of those claims would mean anything coming from a referral service rather than the crew that actually does the work. What we do publish is the process (level check first, written estimate, your approval before anyone lifts a jack) and the prices, because that is what you can actually verify before the truck shows up.

Have a floor that slopes, a door that will not latch, or a crack that showed up above a window frame? Check the FAQ for quick answers, or send us what you are seeing and where the house is, and we will get a level check scheduled.
