Burke Stripling & Company is a foundation, concrete and roofing repair contractor working out of Grapevine, Texas, and serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
The company’s own site organizes the work into foundation repair, concrete raising, concrete repair, new concrete, drainage systems and roofing. Its argument for repair over replacement is that raising and repairing existing slabs and drives usually costs a fraction of tearing them out, and it offers a free inspection as the first step. Google carries the business under roofing contractor with concrete contractor as a secondary category.
Two dates for the company’s history are in circulation and it is worth knowing both. The listing submitted to us describes a business founded in 1960 by Burke and Tommie Stripling, incorporated and admitted to the Better Business Bureau in 1961, with their son Mark Stripling taking over as president in 1990. The current site says instead that it has been “providing construction solutions since 1993.” We have not established which date the company treats as its founding.
Texas does not issue a statewide license for foundation repair, concrete or roofing contractors, so there is no state register to check this kind of work against. Requirements are set locally, and proof of general liability and workers’ compensation coverage is the practical thing to ask a bidder for.
