Mike Burgess visited us and after we explained what we were concerned about, he thoroughly inspected the crawlspace and beams and joists that may have contributed to the problem. His conclusion was that the foundation was in great shape and that the problem was simply seasonal shifting. I think the sign of a reputable company is their honesty, particularly in something dealing with something like foundation issues where he could have made up problems for his team to come and "fix". I would use JES again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Our 11-year old house has shown increased signs of seasonal shifting and we were concerned that there may be foundation issues. So we called JES based on the referral of several people in the building business.

The work was completed when they said it would be done. James Monell and Kenny Tanks showed up right on time and performed excellent work. They were able to lift concrete to allow drainage away from the house and align the sidewalk with the stoop which was nearly 3” out of level. Highly recommend.

A great team - Brandon (foreman), Kris, Tyler, Ramon, Rontae, Alex & Darren. Communicated well. Responsive to questions. Respectful and polite. Consistently stayed on task. Work site was kept extraordinarily clean. Completed job was beyond expectations; very well done. Get these young men to do your crawl space encapsulation and you will be as pleased as we are.

The system was installed on April 29th. We had a heavy rain on April 30 and the system did the job. There were a couple of very minor leaks that were resolved by Derrick with a final inspection on May 8th. The work was performed in a sub basement (no problem with our actual basement)

Everything went great. They thoroughly explained the process and costs ahead of time. Once they began they found asbestos we didn’t know we had and had to stop working. Even though it’s not a service they offer they were able to help us find a company to remove the asbestos and once it was removed they quickly started working again and got the job done very fast.

Beautifully. Joe Caruso visited and gave us a fair quote. Very pleasant visit. The two gentlemen came out and set up the procedure and kept us informed all the way through. They finished, cleaned up their work area and asked if we had any questions. Everything went well. A great company to deal with.
