Who Handles Foundation Repair and Structural Work in Conway, SC?
Question: Who handles foundation repair and structural work in Conway, SC?

MaeWest Construction serves Conway and greater Horry County with structural repair, renovation, and rebuild work backed by proper permits and inspections.
Worried about cracks or sagging floors in your Conway home?
Get honest answers from a licensed builder before small problems become expensive ones.
What are signs of foundation problems in Horry County homes?
Watch for doors and windows that stick, cracks above door frames, sloping or bouncy floors, gaps between walls and ceilings, and stair-step cracks in brick or block. Conway sits on sandy, high-water-table soil near the Waccamaw River, so settling and moisture-related movement are common in older homes and homes built on crawl spaces.
Do you need an engineer before foundation repair?
For significant structural issues, yes. A structural engineer diagnoses the cause and specifies the fix, and a licensed general contractor performs the work and pulls the permits. Be cautious of anyone who quotes a major foundation fix without an inspection. As builders of custom homes across the Grand Strand, we work from engineered plans and Horry County inspections on every structural job.
Can foundation issues be fixed during a remodel?
Often that is the smartest time to do it. If you are already planning a renovation or addition, correcting framing, sistering joists, replacing rotted sills, or addressing crawl space moisture while walls and floors are open saves money compared to doing it later as a standalone repair.
What does foundation and structural work cost in Conway?
It varies more than any other repair category. Minor joist and sill repairs may run a few thousand dollars, while major underpinning or rebuild work can reach well into five figures. The honest answer requires an inspection, and we will tell you plainly if the right fix is smaller than you feared.
When repair becomes an opportunity to rebuild
Sometimes the honest math on major foundation work points to a better answer: a new home. As a luxury custom builder, MaeWest can evaluate whether your Conway property is a stronger investment as a repaired home or as a new custom home built on your lot, engineered correctly from the ground up. We are one of the few companies in Horry County that can price both paths for you, from structural repair all the way to a full luxury custom build.
