Our Story
Foundation Solutions Since 1989
Since 1989, LRE Foundation Repair has been dedicated to providing top-notch foundation repair and soil stabilization services. What started as Lar-Rays Excavating, Inc. (where LRE comes from) in Hernando County, Florida, has grown from just 3 employees to over 130, driven by a mission to redefine the standards of general contracting.
Our journey began with a simple goal: to meet the growing needs of homeowners with expertise, integrity, and teamwork. Over the years, we’ve expanded our services to include foundation repair, concrete repair, crawlspace repair, and exterior drainage solutions. Today, we proudly serve most of Florida, committed to living out our mission of redefining the industry for Florida homeowners.
A message from Our General Manager
“At LRE Foundation Repair, we're on a mission to redefine what a contractor experience looks like. For homeowners, that means dependable solutions delivered with clarity, communication, and genuine care. For our employees, it means creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work.
We believe remarkable experiences don't happen by accident - they're built through purpose, culture, and a commitment to raising industry standards. Every day, we strive to show that construction can be different...and better. And we're proud to lead that change."
— Dave Congemi
