Customer's reviews

We recently had our timber home restumped in Dales Creek. Being relatively new to the area we arranged a number of quotes. One particular quote from Vic Metro Underpinning stood out from the others. Joe promptly inspected our home and went through what the re-stumping process would involve. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were very comfortable proceeding with their quote. Shnai and Ella were lovely to deal with and organised all the necessary permits/etc. The works were started and completed with minimal delay, and the transformation was great. We would highly recommend Vic Metro Underpinning to anyone considering re-stumping works. ~ Harri L
We just had our '50s weatherboard restumped in Ballarat and what an amazing job. Shnai is an amazing communicator and a pleasure to negotiate details with. The 2 gentlemen workers were just that - very respectful of customer and their home. Nothing was too much trouble. They even replaced the temporary cardboard barrier each day around the perimeter that we used to keep our little dogs in and brought our emptied council bins into the yard for us. The clean up after was also very thorough. When leveling they were extremely considerate to achieve the best possible balance between exact level and keeping the amount of plaster damage to a minimum. Highly competitive pricing and just an amazing experience. We give the highest recommendation possible. ~ Damian D
I recently had Vic Metro perform underpinning works at my property which from my perspective was extensive in both effort required and financially and therefore not taken lightly. Vic Metro completed the project seemlessly, I was kept up to date at all stages, they arranged all engineering and council permits, insurance and inspections without a hitch. Saade who performed all the on site work was absolutely fantastic, reliable and worked very hard going beyond without question and cleaning up after the work was completed. I would definitely recommend Vic Metro for these type of critical building projects. ~ scoda3756

Questions & Answers

What experience does your team have with heritage homes and bluestone foundations?
Our engineers have 40+ years combined experience working with Melbourne's heritage homes. We specialise in bluestone foundation repairs and use techniques specifically developed for period properties.
Do you service all areas of Melbourne, and how quickly can you assess foundation issues?
Yes, we service all of Melbourne, including Epping and surrounding suburbs. We offer free structural assessments within 2-3 business days of contact, with same-week emergency options available.
What is the typical cost of restumping, and how do I evaluate the three different quotes I’ve received to determine the best option for my needs?
Thanks for reaching out about your restumping quotes! Here are a few things to keep in mind when comparing them: 1. Scope of Work: Make sure each quote gives you a clear breakdown—how many stumps, whether they’re using concrete or steel, and if subfloor repairs or levelling are included. At Vic Metro Underpinning & Restumping, we typically use concrete stumps unless steel is necessary due to the length of the stump. 2. Reputation and Reviews: It’s always a good idea to look into each contractor’s experience and what their previous clients are saying. You can check out our Google business page for reviews from our clients. 3. Licensing and Insurance: Double-check that the contractors are licensed and insured so both you and the contractor are protected throughout the project. 4. Extra Costs: Ask about any potential extra cost, like for soil removal or subfloor replacement, so there are no surprises later. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
What warranty do you offer on underpinning work?
We provide a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all underpinning work, backed by ongoing aftercare support. Our structural engineers conduct follow-up inspections to ensure long-term stability.
How long does a typical house restumping job take, and do you handle all the permits?
Most restumping projects take 3-5 days. We manage all council permits and paperwork as part of our service, making it hassle-free for homeowners throughout Melbourne's northern suburbs.
