Average Foundation Repair Cost Texas

♦ November 12, 2012 ♦ Leave Your Comment

Though it may vary slightly from one state to the next, the average cost of a funeral in the United States ranges from -15,000. This is heavily dependent upon the type of funeral a family chooses. At present, there are pre-paid insurance plans available for “End of Life” expenses. It’s important, however, to read any of these type policies very carefully. One of the most important things to consider is the ratio of possible increase in cost to the current policy price, and the expediency of the need. When the policy is to be surrendered for a funeral, the time of bereavement shouldn’t be marred by a huge increase in funeral expenses above what the policy included.Funeral expenses begin with the cost of transportation from home or hospital to the chosen funeral site. Funeral costs often include this as well as the length of time the funeral home will be in use for the viewing hours. If there are relatives long distance, an additional day for viewing before burial may be necessary in order to facilitate travel time to the funeral. Funeral costs vary for another reason: choice of interment site. Depending on the cemetery, costs to “open” a new grave are generally more expensive than a burial plot that has been in the family possession. It’s important to remember that the burial plot can be designed for a single burial unit and two, four and eight plot units for families. The cost of an engraved gravestone for a single burial plot averages from 00-00, installed. Larger gravestones for family burial plots are slightly higher. The cost for interment in a mausoleum depends on the size. Many of these range from -50,000, depending on the number of people to be interred there. Check with the cemetery for guidelines on allowable sizes for mausoleums. Many cemeteries also have above-ground burial plots with interment in a specially built mausoleum for general use.The cost of a funeral may increase if there are special arrangements for burial, such as an out-of-state burial where the deceased has lived the latter part of their life in one state but wishes burial in the state of their birth. In this case, airline transportation costs may be additional. If there is to be a funeral cortege, any additional limousines cost extra. Usually, funeral costs cover one limousines to transport flowers to the cemetery and one limousine to transport 4-6 immediate family members or others closely related to the deceased. If a non-standard funeral announcement is to be forwarded for local publication or long distance publication, this can add to funeral costs as well. Modern funeral facilities also offer video memorials. These may be at an additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    On average how much does foundation repair cost?
    We have one corner of our house that has already been repaired by the previous owner, but now the grout outside is getting cracks in it again. That’s the only area of the house that has problems. We are going to get professional estimates, but I’d like to hear input from others.
    My husband has looked at the foundation from where he can and the slab is NOT cracked, so perhaps it is just cosmetic.

    We live on that black land soil which cracks during the summer.

    • ANSWER:
      It is not uncommon in Texas for houses to have concrete slab foundations with cracks at the corners. This is not generally associated with an actual cracked slab but is due to stress at the corners. This can be cosmetically repaired if you like for 0 or so per corner but may not last long. You can even make the repairs yourself.

      If the foundations is truly cracked and you have walls that are also cracked and/or doors which will not close properly, then might you have more serious problems and need professional help. The average foundation repairs are in the range of ,000 to ,000 depending upon the type of repairs required, how deep they have to dig around your house, the number of pilings they have to place into the ground, etc.

    • ANSWER:
      Deport illegal immigrants.

      Democrats in Congress ignore congressional reports that prove illegal immigrants put minorities out of work. Democrats also removed E-Verify from the stimulus bill. E-Verify makes sure only people legally here in the U.S. can be hired for work. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090213233052AALISd5

      And in 2007 “Democrat politicians refused to allow an African American man to testify as an expert witness in front of the Democrat controlled immigration committee….Republicans then setup a special committee so the concerns of the man could be addressed”

      2) 97% of illegal immigrants taking jobs away from Americans (only 3% work in farming)
      “While 3 percent of unauthorized workers are employed in agriculture, 33 percent have jobs in service industries and substantial shares can be found in construction and extractive occupations (16%) and in production, installation and repair (17%).”Pew Hispanic Center Offers Fuller Portrait of Unauthorized Migrants ”

      4) Illegal immigrants are not needed to pick vegetables. Growers hire illegal aliens to maximize profits. It is much cheaper to hire illegal aliens than to buy one tomato harvester that can harvest 40 tons of tomatoes an hour.
      Farmers found out it is less expensive to hire foreigners and then have taxpayers pay for foreigners costs to local governments. That dramatically increases profits for farmers.

      5) The price of lettuce will stay the near the same after illegal immigrants are deported. Even if we pay farm workers an hour it would only increase the cost of lettuce by 14 cents.
      “The average “consumer unit” in the U.S. spends a week on fresh fruit and vegetables, less than is spent on alcohol, according to Martin. On a head of lettuce, the farm worker gets about 6 or 7 cents, roughly 1/15th of the retail price. Even a big run-up in the cost of labor can’t hit the consumer very hard.

      6) ” House Judiciary ranking member Lamar Smith, Republican-Texas, called the decision to remove the E-Verify requirement “outrageous” and “a gross disservice” to U.S. citizens and legal immigrant workers. “It is a simple matter of accountability,” Smith said. “If the goal is to create jobs and stimulate the American economy, then is it too much to ask that the jobs go to U.S. citizens and legal immigrant workers?” Smith pointed to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation that the stimulus bill would create jobs for about 300,000 undocumented workers without the E-Verify requirement.” http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=42050&dcn=todaysnews
