Why published ranges disagree
Current 2026 sources publish overlapping, but not identical, ranges for standard residential helical-pier work. RepairGauge uses a broader planning range that reflects multiple current sources instead of choosing the narrowest number.
What changes the rate
Pier depth, shaft configuration, torque target, site access and the load being supported can all change installed cost. A deck pier is not comparable to underpinning a settling house.
What to compare in bids
Compare pier count, shaft/system specification, installation criteria, engineering, bracket work, lift goals and warranty terms—not only the dollars per pier.
