Why work with MAJ
What MAJ does about the Montgomery second opinion
Your problem
The last company to call gets the signature
Montgomery families gather several opinions before a foundation or drainage job, and an estimate with no follow-up quietly loses to whoever checks in last.
What we build
Proof up front, follow-up after
We film your crews on real jobs, ask every finished job for a review, and run a follow-up sequence after each estimate, with every lead tracked by source in the CRM.
Proof that is real
Your reputation is built on your own footage and reviews, never invented claims.
Older homes handled with care
Your pages explain the Landmarks Commission's certificate of approval and Old Montgomery zoning correctly.
One connected system
Video, ads, CRM and follow-up run as one setup, so the proof that earns the click also shows up in your follow-up messages.

What costs Montgomery waterproofing companies the job
- Nothing sets you apart
- Montgomery has no contractor licensing requirement of its own, so any company can say it serves the city. Without proof of real work, you look like everyone else in the search results.
- Older homes, generic pages
- Exterior changes to a listed landmark need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission. Pages that never mention the extra step read as written for anywhere.
- Sewer backup confusion
- MSD serves Montgomery, and its program has a 48-hour reporting window. Homeowners who learn that from your page remember who helped.

Every lead gets a card. Every card keeps moving. Every call, form and text becomes a lead card. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in someone's head. Cards move across clear stages. New, Contacted, Estimate booked, Estimate sent, then Won or Lost. Follow-ups go out on day 1, 3 and 7. Automatic texts and emails, so quotes do not go cold. Day 1, check-in text sent. Day 3, follow-up email sent. Day 7, last check-in text sent. Customer replied. Every quote ends in Won or Lost. Won jobs move to the schedule. Lost ones get a reason, so you can learn from them. Won: added to the schedule. Lost reason: went with another quote. The whole pipeline on one screen. See what is new, what is booked and what is waiting, at a glance.

Questions owners ask
Does a waterproofing contractor need a Montgomery city license?
No. The City of Montgomery says it has no licensing requirement of its own for contractors working in the city. That leaves reviews, video of real jobs and clear answers as the way homeowners tell companies apart.
Can you tell a homeowner whether MSD or SD1 will pay for the damage?
No, and neither should your website. MSD and Sanitation District No. 1 each decide eligibility under their own rules, so our pages explain what each program says, link to it and leave the decision with the district.
Do landmark homes in Montgomery need extra approval for exterior work?
Listed landmarks do. Exterior changes to a listed Montgomery landmark, including outbuildings, fencing, walkways and repainting, need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission. We flag that on your pages so owners know you understand the process.
Should we stop advertising when it has been dry for weeks?
No, but the money should move. Dry weeks are when homeowners research cracked walls, bowing foundations and aging sump pumps calmly, so we shift budget toward those searches, video and reviews.
How much do reviews matter for a foundation repair company?
A great deal. BrightLocal's statistics page, citing its 2026 consumer survey, says 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses and 71% use Google to read them. Those are national figures, so we treat them as direction and ask every finished job for a review.
