About
About Dunbar Foundation Repair
Garrett Dunbar spent eleven years running crews for two of the larger foundation repair companies in metro Atlanta before starting this one in 2013 — mostly because he got tired of watching an estimator walk a homeowner straight to the biggest number before the inspection was even finished.
We're six people now, and every inspection is still done by someone who has actually installed piers, not just sold them. About half of what we look at doesn't need a repair yet, and we say so, in writing, before we leave.
When a repair does need a stamped structural engineer's letter — for a home sale or otherwise — we get you one without making the letter the sales pitch.
“Anybody can point a flashlight at a crack and look concerned. The harder job is telling you when it's nothing.”

The team
Who will actually inspect your house
Garrett Dunbar
Owner · Lead Inspector
Started in this trade in 2002 and ran crews for two larger Atlanta-area companies before founding Dunbar Foundation Repair in 2013. Garrett still runs the first inspection on most jobs himself, and trains every new hire on the same rule: measure it before you diagnose it.
Marisol Vance
Field & Installation Lead
Runs the piering and wall-anchor crews. Marisol is the one who signs off on every job before the crew leaves, and the person who comes back out personally if anything settles differently than expected.
Theo Bramlett
Office & Warranty Manager
Schedules every free inspection and keeps the warranty records — who has one, what it covers, and what's needed if a house with a Dunbar repair changes hands. Theo is who you call with a warranty question, not a repair question.
Find out if you actually have a problem, before you pay for anything.
A free, no-pressure inspection with real measurements — and an honest answer, even when the answer is not yet.
