After a Yearlong Dispute, San Antonio Man’s Home Finally Releveled

Resolution Finally Achieved

In San Antonio, a long and frustrating saga has come to a close as local homeowner Jerry Hruby has finally seen his home releveled after a dispute that lasted nearly a year. Having faced delays and communication breakdowns with the foundation repairman he hired, Hruby can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The Struggle

When we first met Hruby, he was feeling overwhelmed and cheated. “This has been going on for more than a third of a year now,” he expressed, pointing to the alarming separation appearing between the two sides of his double-wide mobile home. “I paid good money for this service, and I expect it to be done right.”

The Contractor

The tension stems from Hruby’s contract with a well-known local figure, Buck Medley, a pro hunter and TV personality who also runs Mobile Masters Inc., a home-leveling company in the area. Medley has over 35 years of experience in mobile home repairs. However, the work did not go as planned—weeks after it was completed, Hruby noticed his floors were slanting.

Communication Troubles

After the initial work, Hruby attempted multiple times to reach out to Medley concerning a revision that was included in their contract. Frustrated by the lack of communication, he described the situation as being stalled for months.

“Does he call you back?” asked a reporter. “No,” replied Hruby, with a tone heavy with disappointment.

Finding Middle Ground

Recently, under pressure from the media to resolve the issue, a compromise was finally reached. Medley agreed to return and relevel the home. “Thank y’all,” Hruby expressed gratefully to those who facilitated the negotiations. “You’re the ones that got it done.”

The Work Begins

With the media present, crews crawled under Hruby’s home, employing advanced equipment to restore balance. A visibly relieved Hruby watched as Medley pointed out additional issues related to drainage that could potentially cause future problems. “You really need to divert water away from the foundation,” Medley advised.

The Importance of Maintenance

Post-releveling, he urged mobile homeowners to have their homes inspected and possibly releveled every 3 to 5 years to mitigate damage from shifting ground. “You’re still at the mercy of mother nature,” Medley warned, stressing the importance of regular maintenance.

A New Beginning

As the work concluded, Hruby felt a sense of vindication. “At least he came back,” he noted, reflecting on the journey. The relief that his home is now stable provides him peace of mind, giving him hope that better days are ahead.

The experience taught Hruby that resilience pays off and that he had a support system willing to advocate for him when it mattered most.
