Boston Foundation Repairs connects homeowners with independent foundation repair companies throughout the city of Boston and in three neighboring communities to its north and east: Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop. The ground changes a great deal from one part of this area to the next, so the pages below say what is particular to each place and which office issues its permits.

Outside the area
Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton and Quincy border Boston but are outside the area served here. If your home is in one of them, look for a foundation repair company based in that city. The guides on this site about repair methods and checking a Massachusetts contractor apply there just the same.
