The community was named after sugar planter Henry Newton Pharr. For a number of years, centering around early 1900, Henry N. Pharr was director of the State National Bank of New Iberia, Louisiana, and was a former president of the Louisiana–Rio Grande Sugar Company and the Louisiana–Rio Grande Canal Company, which at one time owned 8,000 acres (32.4 km2) and which, in 1910, built the town of Pharr on this land. Pharr was the Republican nominee for Louisiana governor in 1908, as his father John Newton Pharr had been in 1896. Pharr has grown rapidly since the late 20th century, from a population of 32,921 in 1990 to an estimated 77,320 in 2016 and 79,112 in 2019. In 1987, Pharr annexed Las Milpas. In 2006, Pharr received "The All-America City" award.
We’ve worked with Josef now for both our foundation and plumbing needs. He did a full underground pipe replacement for our home and the experience we had was phenomenal! There have been several homes on our block that had the same work done and it seemed to take much longer. MVP foundation Experts was able to get me a quote, have the excavation and repiping done all under 6 days! We were only without water for half a day. Communication with Josef is clear and quick. I recommend foundation experts to anyone and will definitely be using their services again if needed
We got a approved from the EBB to get our home retrofit. I chose Foundation expert out of 4 contractors. Joseph was the only one that was explained me in details the process with the EBB and what my house needed. MVP Foundation Expert crew did an excellent job on our retrofit project. The team was professional, efficient, and was done in few days! Highly recommend their services!
MVP foundation experts and his Josef crew were exceptional. From start to finish Josef is honest and communicates clearly what they do and how they are different from other companies. Josef went over and beyond what I was expecting, especially when it comes to customer satisfaction. I have dealt with alot of contractors over the years, and foundation experts is one that I can trust and recommend!
I had 5 estimates done for crawlspace foundation repair and seismic retrofitting. We and chose mvp foundation experts over the others. Josef came out to do the estimate and while he was professional, it didn't feel like he was trying to do a sales pitch like the other companies, which I appreciated! He said to me "if this was my house, this is what I would do..." He was very relatable and explained what needed to be done in a way that made sense. I had contact with the office a couple of times and the Maya was very friendly and helpful. It took 4 full days. They were respectful of our property and cleaned up everything before they left. I highly recommend MVP foundation excepts!
MVP Foundation experts did an exceptional job from the estimate to the repair job. We had our foundation repaired and a drainage system installed. It was all done over a 3 day period. We are very satisfied with the job and personnel. I definitely recommend Josef he was fast and efficient!
