I would highly recommend JES! We had our basement waterproofed by JES after it leaked following heavy rains. From the first step of getting an estimate to the final walkthrough of the completed job, the experience was smooth and pleasant. Every individual I communicated with and/or met at JES was professional, responsive, kind, and easy to work with. We had a 1yr old running around our house and the job was completed with no disruption to our day or routine. The job site was left clean and tidy and the work was done well. Before hiring JES, I met with a couple of other waterproofing companies and found JES' cost to be comparable, but their transparency and clear communication to be better. They were straightforward in their estimate and took the time to explain the job - one that I found confusing and complicated - clearly so that I understood everything entailed in the work. Our experience was great with JES! And, again, I would highly recommend them for anyone else needing waterproofing work (or other services) done!

My JES team, David Smith and his crew, did an excellent job with the installation of supports under my house. By day's end, I could tell a different in the integrity of the flooring. They also installed a vapor barrier as moisture and water drainage was a concern. They communicated the process throughout and even followed up to make sure I was satisfied with the results. Underneath of my house looks amazing. The work is well done, neat and clean.

The entire process from initial inspection to work on the project was great. The crew (Kyle, Tiger, Mike and Victor) were courteous, professional and very hard workers. Even thought I felt they were a bit pricey, I would use them again and recommend them to others.

It cost a lot of money but with financing I could afford the work done. Hopefully this will fix my 25 years of flooding problems.

David A, Virginia Beach homeowner Chris Yi, and the folks from JES completed my crawl space encapsulation and de-humidifying. The way they continued to work with me from initial evaluation to final inspection was exceptional. Due to construction and bad weather, the job required more flexibility on their part than initially planned. The professionalism and attitude they displayed throughout the entire time allows me to give them my highest recommendation. If you plan to keep your home, a true value for the price.

The crew (Rattana San, Jorge Gutierrez, and Mike Price) arrived as scheduled, calling 30 minutes before arrival. The crawl space encapsulation was installed very nicely. Due to heavy rain, the project took longer than estimated, but the crew came back on Saturday to make up the time. The only minor issue I had, was that the vents for the intake and return air were not cut square. (the vents were installed by a different crew) I would recommend JES for addressing crawl space issues

I had the pleasure of meeting the professional staff sent to my home 3/20/19, to complete a crawl space encapsulation. JES sent a team of 4, 2 - Foreman; Casey Foster and Jose Lopez, along with Edwardo Garcia and Maylo Noe Reyes. The team worked well together, all were knowledgeable and performed a thorough and professional job. The job was completed expeditiously. The future of our home is looking healthier and the air feels cleaner since the encapsulation. Would definitely recommend not only JES but this TEAM OF FOUR!

The crew took 7 work days to complete a project originally scheduled to take 4 work days. When done, there were numerous locations throughout the crawlspace that were not sealed with large gaps in the vapor barrier and uncaulked/unsealed holes in the walls/insulation. There were also two leaking pipes in my crawlspace they knew about because they left paper towels beneath them but never told us about the leaks. The leaks were not present when we performed a pre-work inspection. JES had their own plumbing company, A-1 Plumbing, return to repair them and A-1 did a shoddy job as well. Additionally, the JES-installed dehumidifier was found to be leaking in the crawlspace, creating a pool of water within hours after it was put into service. Of course, JES was long gone... we found it only by chance and turned the unit off and called JES. They returned, *fixed* it and left. It again was leaking so we called them a second time. This time a supervisor showed up and said it wasn't installed correctly and fixed that. JES people across the board were all very professional but their workmanship was terrible.

On the initial consultation, Michael Burgess took his time, not only with the inspection itself but in educating me about all of the issues and possible solutions. He worked with me to get the most for my money. Mike also stopped by during the construction process to make sure things were being taken care of properly. I felt like he cared about my house as much as I did. Mike made this process much less scary. Jose Rodriguez, the foreman, Francisco, and Joseph were here for five days of really hard work. There was a ton of cleanup to be done in my crawl space, the joists needed to be replaced and the house needed to be lifted as the floors were sagging. Jose s team was always on time, communicated with me about what work was being done and when. They were even nice about leaving the area for a while so I could let my dogs out in the yard each day. Overall, I am thoroughly pleased with JES.

The initial work of raising our foundation was July 2018, and they did an excellent job. This most recent work today was for them to return for a large area of dirt settlement. Tyler English arrived and worked real hard in replacing the settled dirt with 30 bags of dirt, making two trips with his truck and tamping it down. He made sure the grounds were as he found it. Before that, I should write, he measured the level of the foundation and all was in alignment. Really good job Tyler - thank you.
