Update: I am completely impressed by the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by everyone I met at JES Foundation Repair. Bryan Rutherford and Morgan Oakley arrived at my home right on time. They were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They started working right away, also took the time to thoroughly explain to me the entire process and gave me an accurate estimated time of completion. When the job was about 90% done, unfortunately a piece of equipment broke down. They finished the remaining tasks as much as they could, cleaned the worksite and promised to come back a week later to complete the job, as soon as the faulty equipment was fixed. To my surprise, Bryan called me the next morning and told me that he’d be back on that day, as he was concerned about the unsealed area of the driveway and wanted to take care of it right away. He managed to find a workaround, drove to my house (out of his way) and completed the remaining job. They did such a fantastic job my driveway almost looks like new again! Thank you, Bryan, Morgan, Jesse for your help. I would not hesitate to recommend JES Foundation Repair to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy concrete repair. --------------- My concrete driveway needed repair and I found JES Foundation Repair while searching for a local contractor. Jesse Anderson got in touch with me right away, and visited my home the next day. He was on time, courteous, patient, provided clear answers to all my questions. He emailed me a very detailed inspection report, including drawings to depict the projected work and a reasonable cost estimate, at 9:05pm on the same day. Later on, I had some follow-up questions and Jesse was always very understanding and responsive. On one occasion, he was kept busy during working hours but emailed back to me at 11:38pm, which was totally unexpected. It’s hard nowadays to find someone who genuinely cares about the customer as much as Jesse did. I am impressed by Jesse’s professionalism, diligence and genuine concern towards customers. I have subsequently signed a service contract with JES Foundation Repair, looking forward to having my driveway fixed in early October.

I had a nagging issue with my home that had been causing me a lot of worry, so I contacted JES Foundation Repair. They promptly sent out a technician, Mr. Palmer, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Mr.Palmer was extremely professional and took the time to conduct a thorough review and analysis of the problem. His insights were well thought out and logical, giving me a clear understanding of both the situation and the best course of action. Throughout the process, he was patient and answered all my questions, ensuring I felt comfortable with the recommendations. His knowledge and expertise were evident, making me feel confident in the solutions he proposed. I would highly recommend JES Foundation Repair and specifically Mr. Palmer to anyone in need of foundation services.

I had basement waterproofing done and JES did great work. They started the job on schedule and finished a day early. Roberto Lemus, Osman Ochoa and Alejandro Vazquez were fantastic. Roberto kept me informed during the entire process. At the end of every day I was given an update and walk thru. They cleaned up when the entire job was finished. They were a great team and should I need JES again, I would be happy to work with this group. Thank you JES for a great job!!! Shirley Tucker

We had the pleasure of working with Jeanne from JES Foundation Repair, and I couldn’t be more impressed. As an inspector and sales associate, Jeanne’s extensive knowledge was evident from the start. She thoroughly explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her communication skills are exceptional, and she answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. It’s rare to meet someone with such a strong combination of expertise and people skills. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone in need of foundation services—she truly goes above and beyond!

I did not hire JES.
Description of Work: If it were possible to give JES a grade lower than F, we would because we feel they misdiagnosed our problem as a result of either incompetence or deceit. Either choice is bad. They assessed our pre-civil war house with a serious foundation issue and then proposed a $57,000 solution that would entail digging a deep, 3 foot wide trench around three sides of the house. This would destroy all the landscaping as well as a concrete front porch. The solution was to install footers below the existing foundation and then drive piers into the ground to support the footers. If the JES salesman had investigated the ground in this part of the county he would have known that foundation supporting rock is at or very near the surface and that digging a deep 3 foot wide trench would remove nothing but rock held together with a little bit of clay. We think they would have proposed a solution for all four sides, but the fourth side was not suitable for the JES solution. A second contractor quote came in at $8,000, and that company indicated we did not have a serious foundation issue—rather, they assessed the issue as too much moisture from the crawl space and rain damage under our stucco. We got an independent structural engineer to assess the issue; he cost $500 and concluded no foundation problem. If the JES solution had been lower in cost, we would not have been as upset, but the fact they made the issue sound so major and significant, and then proposed such a costly solution is VERY upsetting. They appear to be opportunistic rather than objective and honest.

[Member Name Removed], Thank you for inviting us into your home for your FREE inspection and estimate. As in many things, from construction to medicine, one can get numerous opinions on solutions to a problem. We respect - and expect - that homeowners will talk to a number of resources before making a final decision. Our Inspectors are objective and honest, and we have many many satisfied customers who chose to hire us that will attest to that. If you find that the solution you chose does not remedy the issues in the long run, we would be honored to review our recommendations again with you, and see if there are any areas where price could be reduced without compromising the long-term structural integrity of your home. Best regards - Eric

I cancelled my estimate.
Description of Work: I made an appointment for an estimate 3 weeks ago. when they were supposed to contact me and confirm for Friday (Sept 30). Today (Sept 28th) they called to say that the estimator had a training class and they would like to reschedule for NOVEMBER 3rd???? They tried to reschedule for one month later, and they just realized 48 hours in advance that there was a conflict? Terrible customer service.
