With the ton of rain we've had this spring and out house being on a hill, we've had some small cracks develop in our tile and where the brick meets the slab. Want to get a couple different companies out to take a look at it

Go with a structural engineer vs foundation company. Every foundation company will find "something". I doubt your foundation has issues this soon after the spring rain.

I used Crosstown Engineering, they were pretty quick for the full report. The engineer told me everything looked good before he left and that any cracks in the drywall were from the house being all wood frame that expands/contracts.

I used Crosstown Engineers as well for the inspection.

I am going to move forward with their recommendations, but does anyone have any recommendations for actual foundation companies to do the repairs?

Just used Groundworks and they were fast and cleaned up very professionally. Barely knew they were there once done.

It's a few hundred bucks to have him come out and look but he'll set you on the right path of whether it's drainage or foundation or something else. Used him based off recommendations from the Home Improvement forum.
