Do not work with JES. They contracted with us for a job they were completely incapable of completing. We paid our deposit in Dec, work was supposed to begin in Feb. For months, crews would show up, complain about how narrow the space was, say they didn't have the proper equipment to do the job, then leave the site. We worked with them while they replanned how to complete the project because they claimed the person who bid the job screwed up. Further complicating matters, they were digging too close to the sewer pipe and constantly damaging it. We had to constantly hire plumbers to repair the pipe and remediation companies to deal with the sewage. We finally fired them after they let a leak go for a month where they not only didn't tell us about it, but denied that there was a leak when we asked whether that was the problem. Everyone at every level blamed somebody else, and it took threats of lawsuits to get the contract canceled and our deposit returned. The fecal matter ran deep.
Description of Work: Install a water remediation system in a crawlspace.

My husband and I were very happy with the professional service we received from Eric Oliver. He came out to assess the cracks in our foundation. He was extremely knowledgeable not only about our foundation but on how we can keep the moisture out of our crawlspace. We would highly recommend him to anyone who needs their foundation and crawl space inspected.
Description of Work: We called JES to see if our foundation was in need of repair. We have seen cracks that concerned us and wanted a professional to come out and inspect our foundation.

JES just finished our crawl space, I can't say enough about the quality of service from start to finish. I want to thank Cory our salesman and the installation crew, Frank "PJ", Pallas, Nick, and Riddel. My expectations were far surpassed, JES is a company you can trust.

I contacted JES because I thought my dishwasher was leaking into the crawl space. Two guys came out, inspected and took pictures. They told me that there was not a leak but that there was standing water, insulation damage and mold. Homeowners nightmare. He claimed doing this would be 'Energy saving'. But had to do today to save $###. High pressure salesman lead me to believe his pitch. I wound up refinancing my home to pay for this as he convinced me I needed it. Which I then convinced my family it was the right thing to do. As polite as they were, they were not professional in work. When they came out to take the insulation out, I had someone take a pic of the area below the dishwasher. Indeed I had a leak. They disconnected my internet, denied it. Let my Golden retriever out of the fenced in backyard. she was picked up at a nearby school 20 min later by a neighbo. Had to get a tow truck to get it out of the driveway because they had scraped and put a hole in the freshly resurfaced street. Before it was all done they disconnected the internet again, requiring a tech to come out, created a leak in the main pipe that brings water into the house. I was never reimbursed for the plumber bill as I was told by the production Mgr. I would. Was given the same promise in March by another 'boss', after a BBB review. Still waiting They also collected final payment from the financial company before finalizing the job. The 'Energy savings ' is a complete falsity. My energy bill the first month increased by $100. The dehumidifier comes on once an hour to check humility levels then again to 'stir up ' the air in the crawlspace. This seems like overkill for an area that is supposed to be airtight. I've been a homeowner for 25 years and this is the first time that I've felt completely scammed by a company. I'm on disability and will not be able to pay the increased electric bills going into the spring/summer as air conditioning will be used more. That dehumidifier will likely be running much more. Just apologizes and inaction Update 4/29/22 According to Billing office for JES a refund was issued today, to the finance company that I paid off in December!? The damages that were performed by JES, were corrected by the plumbing company and paid for by myself directly. The finance company had/has ZERO involvement. I'm certain that a civil court will also agree. Biggest mistake ever calling JES

I couldn’t be more pleased with their work! JES workers: Johnathan Dominique Ricardo were the best. They worked so hard and were very professional. They were pleasant to talk with and patiently answered all of my questions. They were very clear about what they were doing and why they were doing it. They put a drainage system in my basement and sealed the walls. I wish everyone I had to do work for me had their work ethics. It was a pleasure to watch them work and to see how they all worked together so easily! I am actually going to miss seeing them. They were here 4 days and I really got attached to them. You just don’t see workers like them anymore. I would highly recommend them!!! They were a blessing to me!

Communication was good regarding the initial visit to evaluate the scope of the work. After that is was poor. Work not performed as originally bid. The pargetry was performed in the wrong color and required a second application. If feel based on the work done - it was overpriced.

House was thoroughly inspected and detailed recommendations suggested. We appreciated the inspector's candor and helpfulness in arranging the job agreement. Office follow-up was just as promised and final work completed on schedule. Every effort was made to clean up the work area upon completion of the job. Overall we consider it a very positive experience.

Excellent service even though scale of lifting was much smaller and required expertise and precision! Challenges were discussed in advance and very professional. I have some yellow marks on my driveway from the lifting foam but I assume that will go away in time (thus the 4 stars). On the sales and project estimate at the front end, the staff was forthright and helped us realize what's the right scope for our preservation project. A competing company was going to charge more than 4 times the amount for otherwise unnecessary work. Thanks JES!
