Ram Jack of Ohio is excellent. They are very honest and thorough, and provided an estimate to correct the issue. Currently, I do not have the money to do the repair that would resolve the issue. The offer through the coupon would not have done anything, and therefore, I would like to cancel the coupon and request a refund. Thanks, B.

First of all, he arrived unannounced. Apparently, he thought someone had called or emailed me. It was a complete surprise. He gave a verbal opinion about what might be needed. This was somewhat ambivalent. At first, he seemed to be saying it was fine. Then he was suggesting some water=proofing. I began to think this was just a way of getting paid to get some work. He promised to send the estimate on the work, but I never received anything. I emailed a request for a written summary of the assessment and a written estimate, but so far have received nothing. This was very disappointing.

We had put on offer on a house with foundation problems. We needed an estimate on the cost to repair, in a timely manner. Jack came to the house and gave us a detail explanation and report of what needed to be done. He was very professional and helpful. I would recommend him to friends.

He came out as scheduled but they did come out a day earlier than anticipated. He talked with me about my foundation and he explained their procedures well. They were supposed to email me an estimate on having water proofing done and they havent done so yet. I did not really feel like I needed the Big Deal.

He was on-time and professional. I wasn’t convinced that I needed what they were selling. He wanted to install support beams and my husband and I discussed it and didn’t feel it was needed. He sent me the estimate and it was for about $10,000 for the work.

It also took over 2 weeks for the company to set up an appointment to come to my home. I will have recommend this company to any one else unless they actually want an estimate for the work they thought needed to be done and you can get free estimates without having to pay for it. I understand Kevin spoke to the company several times and after my complaint he told me the company was to call me. One night the phone rang twice and they hung up before I could get to the phone. They have never called again. Please let me know if I can get my $99.00 credited to my credit card.
Description of Work: The agreement I signed up for was for Jam Jack Ohio to repair a crack in my basement. The only thing the man did was give me an estimate of how much it would cost - actually he was to email the estimate which I never received. This man never introduced himself and I really shouldn't have let him in my house in order to protect my security. He went on and on about how wonderful their company was and pointed out cracks in my foundation which was not what I wanted. Why did I have to pay $99 for this? I think I should be reimbursed my money. I have shared more with Kevin in your Indianapolis office.

The guy came out when he said he would, and he pointed out the issues. He seemed very knowledgeable, and explained to me the different issues. I was expecting a written estimate from him, because there were 2 or 3 different ways to sort out the repairs, but I didn't get a written estimate at all, nor did I get a call back. It was a lot of money in any event. I still haven't received anything. He was very knowledgeable, and he saw a few things that I didn't, so he was an expert in his field. He was just talking about different numbers for different jobs and the price was pretty wide spread, so I was waiting for a written estimate, which I didn't get. The quality of his inspection, and finding out the problem was good. I know what he told me, but I would have liked all the details in writing, as I don't remember what was involved. There was nothing wrong with what he did, he was very professional.

He took pictures with his IPAD, measured distances, drew sketches of problem areas. He also explained the possible consequences of not making repairs- without being dramatic . He explained in understandable detail what repairs needed to be done, and provided an approximate cost.

It went well, Jack is the person that came out, he was very informative, professional. However I had to leave, he was a little late due to another appointment, I think he had a previous appointment before ours and it was, I think it was in Brexville and the house that we were getting an estimate on is located in Oakwood Village so that's probably about a good half an hour away, so he was maybe about a half hour to forty five minutes late. But once, you know, we got the ball rolling everything else went pretty smooth afterwards. Once he got there he was very professional. I had to contact them several times to make an inquiry about the written estimate. He did contact me last week in regards to the work being performed.

Response from Ram Jack Ohio
Member, Thank you for considering Ram Jack Ohio for your foundation crack repair. When we originally spoke about meeting on 9/5 we tentatively scheduled the appointment, but you wanted to confirm timing with your wife. After not hearing back to confirm this meeting, I personally called multiple times the morning of 9/5 to confirm or reschedule the appointment. When we spoke next, we rescheduled the appointment for 9/14, where I inspected the crack in your foundation. I sent you a bid on 9/17 for the work needed and then followed up on 9/20 with a call. I understand that perhaps this isn’t the right time for you to have the work done and since we offer FREE estimates, I have no problem refunding your Big Deal purchase. I do want to clarify for other clients that the reason for the refund was not due to our scheduling issues, but because you decided not to do the work. We value what our clients think about us and work to please each client. We would be more than happy to work with you in the future, if you decide to move forward with your foundation repair. Thank you, Jack Kline (440) 975-3595

Jack Kline arrived early on the day scheduled. He had been easy to get hold of and flexible with the appointment. He checked out the cracks and described the probable cause--eroded drain tiles. He summarized possible major repairs that might be needed in the future. Although he couldn't complete the job that day due to equipment failure, he returned the next day, early, and patched the cracks.Cleveland

GREAT! I can't imagine another co. i'd want to do this type of work.
Description of Work: I live in south carolina, my parents house is in ohio. I contacted mr, skip follett in the fall of 2011. they work in all weather conditions, however I wanted to be there and had to wait until spring. When I did try to contact him,i messed up and got ahold of RamJack here in South Carolina. The folks here were very helpful getting me in contact with Skip. I had two separate weeks in april to schedule the work so I could be there. Again mr. Follett was great in working with me. As with all appointments with this co., the crew was right on time. I watched them work (not to keep an eye on them), and found the whole process quite interesting. It was apparent from the start, that this was a team in every sense of the word. At no time did I see anyone just standing around with nothing to do. The men were well trained, skilled and knowledgable. All my questions through all this were answered politely and in a way that was understood.The work performed was to raise up an addition to the house that had sunk about 5" where it was joined to the house. It sank due to a leak in a drain pipe.

Our garage floor has been heaving for years, and it was just awful - the floor drain at the center had become the high point. Skip at Ram Jack understood all the issues and explained exactly how they would fix it. He gave us a price, and then carefully explained the extra charges as they came up (they had to drill much deeper than expected, so they needed more metal pipe; they had to replace a lot of broken drainpipe that had been under the old floor, and extend it further away from the house). They warned me in writing that there would probably be damage to the landscaping, and when they did the work it was clear that that couldn't be avoided. The guys were all incredibly conscientious and nice. They were always happy to stop and explain to me what still needed to be done and when it would happen. They were very careful - they even covered the bottom 3 feet of the garage walls with paper before the concrete was poured. On the day the concrete was poured, two of them stayed until 8:30 at night to make it absolutely smooth - they used truck headlights to give them enough light after it got really dark. At the end, they removed every last bit of debris and power-washed our driveway and the garage floor, to make sure everything sparkled. The only problem we had was getting a commitment for a starting date, but Skip called me each time he needed to push it back, and explained what the problem was. It was clear that he was being very careful about someone else's job, so I understood that he would do the same for me. Once they started, they just pushed until it was finished. Some days, there were 4 or 5 men here, and for short times even more. I was very impressed with the whole operation.
Description of Work: The goal was to replace the garage floor with a new, stable one, and to fix the drainage problems that had caused it to heave. They dug trenches all around the outside by machine, and then by hand. They put "piers" deep into the ground (they expected to go down 14 feet, but had to go to 34 feet to get to something solid enough), then took jackhammers to the garage floor and hauled everything out. They checked all the drainage pipes and replaced just about everything, replaced broken cinderblocks around the foundation, straightened them all and filled the cracks, and then they put in a new concrete floor. The whole process took just about a week.

All the other companies involved in the process are planning their financing and work around his estimates. He called later after setting everything up and said he didn't have right equipment or skill to perform the work and wouldn't be able to come out until mid October. He then told me he would have the quote ready on the 22nd of this month and then pushed that back to the 27th. I spoke with Moran Construction, the other company involved and they informed me that he has not even contacted them since the 22nd. My finances are expiring and I can not make plans with the other parties involved since he has not given us any of this information. I did hear that he underbid the project by quite a lot. I have all my walls cut out of my home and all the bushes are removed. My home is not even habitable. I've called Ram Jack and they have not returned my calls. I've even called their national location and they have not even responded. Everyone is left holding the bag. We our currently living in another location temporarily. We had purchased the home because it was handicap accessible and my wife needed knee surgery. She is now in need of knee surgery again and we are stuck in a condo that is not handicap accessible at all. I will have to put her in a nursing home form convalescence if the home is not fixed by then.
Description of Work: I hired them to raise my house my July 13. I have had four or five conversations with him about coming to raise my home and he committed to being on site August 1st.

Response from Ram Jack Ohio
On behalf of Ram Jack of Ohio we are sorry that we could not provide you with the services that you requested. We believe that there have been several misunderstanding between parties involved in your repair project that have left us looking like the "bad guys". We made no formal commitment to providing the repairs needed to your home in the timeline that was requested. After meeting with your General Contractor and reviewing the scope of work with Moran Construction we decided that the project was not a good fit with the system that we use or the experience that we have in lifting houses. At that time, it was mentioned that you had obtained an additional estimate for lifting your house from another contractor. Based upon their recommended scope of work and price we recommended to your General Contractor to have the other company provide your repairs. We can empathize with you and your family for the circumstances that you are currently facing. However, your house being uninhabitable is completely unrelated to us providing you with repairs. Ram Jack, both locally and nationally, are committed to taking care of our customers the best that we can by providing the best services available. Unfortunately, sometimes those services just don't fit the needs of the customer or the company. As a homeowner that has already endured a great deal of misfortune with their house, we would like to think that you would be more understanding with us not wanting to take on a project that we are not comfortable in doing. It could turn out poorly for both of us.

It went good at first sent an email to get an estimate for a house I just bought and they replied back quick. Then talked to skip about my problem and he was very considerate and wanted to see my inspection report to see if he even needs to come out and see the house. I sent it to him and never heard back, its been about two weeks and he lost business since he did not return my calls or emails after two weeks of trying to get ahold of him. I dont know if I would recommend him because I did not receive service but dont expect a reply back if you want a job done asap.

Response from Ram Jack Ohio
Thank you, for allowing us the opportunity to initially discuss your potential foundation repair project. We are sorry that we did not respond back to you in a timely manner. It is not typical of the way we do business. As a company we pride ourselves in providing our customers with the best service possible. However, from time to time things happen that can't be explained...modern technology is a great asset to a business but there are always glitches along the way...undelivered phone messages, e-mail that is caught in a spam filter, etc. No one should ever just assume that a business doesn't want the work due to a lack of timely response...they should first inquire about why they didn't respond. You'll more than likely find that their is a valid reason or misunderstanding as to why there has not been a response. Regardless, we are a company that strives to meet our customers needs and really appreciate the feedback, positive or negative.

We couldn't have been more pleased!!! Skip was very easy to work with, and his crew was very knowledgeable and clean. It's hard to tell there was even an excavator in the back yard. I would absolutely recommend Skip and his company to anyone in our situation.
Description of Work: We had Skip give us an estimate on installing piers to fix a corner of our house that had settled about 2", causing a large step-wise crack in the foundation brick (among other things). Skip did the estimate, and then sent a crew to dig around our foundation, install 2 helical piers, lift the sunken corner to level, and fix any masonry issues.

I'm deciding if I am going to have the work done, I'm waiting to see if my house is going to settle. It was a good estimate for the money they were asking, I liked them and am considering them. However, I felt like they were trying to find other problems with my house. I had a building inspector look at the two proposals I had and he said that if he were going to have the work done he would have gone with Ram Jack. I don't really know if they were trying to find other problems with my house or not, they had salesmen out here.
