I would recommend JES to anyone looking for an A+ company for foundation work. Roberto, Fausto and Camilo were the best guys JES could have on their staff. They were on time everyday. They explained the work step by step. These guys never disrupted my life at all. They sealed my crawl space, put in a sub pump and raised the house as described before the work was started. They never did anything that was not explained first and thoroughly. With three days of work, they were in and out. Now my home is more comfortable that it was before the work started. The commercials are real. I will call JES again when I need their services. You should too!

Priced fairly and their brick mason did an excellent job and even matched the older mortar. They did not try to sell us services we did not need.

Christian Distler-Caravetta is a consummate professional. He was very helpful in making sure I had the details of what the problem was and fully explained the solution. Christian is easy to talk to and ensures there are questions on how and when he can have a crew fix the problem. I would highly recommend him and JES to solve any water or structure issues. He represents JES with a high degree of honesty and professional knowledge.

These guys are not cheap, but, you get what you pay for. They came when they said they would. They did what they said they’d do. The workmanship was excellent. They cleaned up.

The work crew assigned were pretty professional and did a good job. I do not feel that what we were promised in the sales pitch and what was in the contract is what we got. It was alluded that the wall crack would close up some. This did not HAPPEN! But I feel that we are stabilized and the wall is safe in that regard.

We have a 100-year-old house that has a problem where a foundation wall was removed and posts were installed to support the house when the cellar was drugged out. They have replaced two posts and have completed an initial lift. They are returning in July to perform another lift. I was very satisfied with how they are handling my concerns with raising the house back up too quickly.

The cure for crawlspace drama! We recently had JES encapsulate our crawlspace and install a dehumidifier and could not be happier with the service/workmanship, value and finished product. Had some mold, insulation and humidity issues and decided it was time to end the drama once and for all. Work started within a week of signing the contract and was completed in three days (3,000+ square foot crawlspace). Tiger and his crew treated our home as if it were their own. Respect, professionalism and proactive communication were the hallmark throughout the process. Only regret, wished we had made this investment five years ago when we bought our home! Hope you find this information of value, Barry & Lindsay FYI, due diligence included inspection, recommendation & quotes from five different contractors before signing the contract with JES.

Technicians were professional and knew their trade. JES was very annotating when it came to scheduling the job. Site was left very clean and I received a full explanation of my warranty. Outstanding experience.

Professional Inspector (Chris Yi) did a great job pointing out all the problems, had a professional presentation/solution. Team that did installation/encapsulation of my crawlspace did a great job, courteous, quick cleanup, wasted no time. The solution fixed the dampness problem. I am sure you can pay less but you get less. This was first class work, fixed my problem, and the crawl space looks great now. Moisture percent went from 88% to now an average of 47%. NO MOLD!!!!

From the inception of my project to its completion,my experience with JES was exceptional.The estimator,Jake Perkins,was very pleasant, professional,and educational.It took about one minute to understand the benefits of preserving this property. About two weeks later the crew of Bobby,Josh,and Andrew arrived,and I knew when their feet hit the ground that I had made the correct decision.Upon the projects completion,the crew did not leave until all my many questions were answered fully.Because of this tremendous experience,I have spread the JES story to anyone who would listen.I was a prospect,next a customer,and now a very enthusiastic advocate......!!!!

JES was an excellent contractor to work with. Very professional, and the Customer Service Representative (Karen) was most helpful. She responded to questions and was the key to a successful repair. I was having a crawl space cleaned and new moisture barrier put down as well as new insulation installed. I subsequently had a new HVAC installed and all of the contractors who bid on that job felt JES was the best you could get. They are a bit expensive, but if you want the job done right call them.

This was the worst home repair experience I've ever had. I can't speak to the engineering, but the customer service was abysmal. They kept giving us different stories about what needed to be done. The office downright lied to me about having called me about a date. On the date that was set, they showed up, then went home. A few weeks later, they did the job including uprooting plants (they promised they wouldn't), smashing bird baths, trampling lights and irrigation heads. A move and six out-of-state trips had to be rearranged due to their failure to keep to their own schedule. We are still waiting for them to finish work they promised to do...and they are not returning our calls.
