Before you hire: 4 questions to ask

  • 2
    Torque recordsWill they log final installation torque for every pile and give you a copy?
  • 3
    Product & coatingWhich manufacturer and shaft size do they install, and is the steel galvanized?
  • 4
    Permits & warrantyDo they pull permits and book inspections, and what warranty covers the work?

Bud's Drilling Services

Bud's Drilling Services is a drilling contractor in San Jose, California, serving the San Francisco Bay Area. Its one-page website offers residential and commercial drilling, helical pier installation and dirt removal.

The site gives few details beyond those three services and a contact email. Equipment, pile sizes, project types and engineering support are not described.

Call +1 408-425-2588 for a quote. Because the site is brief, ask about the equipment used, pile sizes and torque records, whether engineering is provided for permits, and what licensing and insurance the company carries. These are general suggestions, not statements about this company's practice. Before signing, get the scope, pile specifications and permit responsibilities in writing, and confirm the company's licensing and insurance. Comparing at least two written quotes makes differences in pile size, depth and included engineering easier to see.
