Communication is lacking..i can't comment on the overall job. I have not seen it aa of yet, but the inspector did review their work for compliance. A bit overpriced, but needed in VA.

While the work was properly completed, the front of my house was left messy and the workers got mortar on my new brushed nickel mailbox. The mortar repair was not limited to the cracked area as they got mortar on several bricks a distance away from the crack. Debris was also left in the front yard. Someone was supposed to call once the job was completed so that I could approve of the work and sign off on papers. I had the work completed in October or November and I have yet to receive a call from JES despite my attempts to follow-up.

Excellent crews. Worked hard & well. Did a little extra to ensure all doors worked as designed. The settling around the fundation jacks was expected but exceeded expectations Had to get many cubic feet of soil to fill in the areas that caved in around the jacks.

JES specializes in all types of foundation work. The company is good at what it does for sure. It is not cheap to use the company; however, your money is well spent. The company has the expertise.

The original inspection was completed, but I never received the quote for the repairs. Even after a follow up phone call, the quote was never sent. Never heard back from anyone, must not want the work.

The estimate visit was thorough and estimator explained the process to level two sections of our composite driveway. Post-contract signing, repairman came out about a week later, leveled the driveway and repaired the joints between the sections. After about 8 months, the repair is holding great and survived a very wet winter. We are very pleased with the repair and service from JES and consider the repair to be a great and effective value.

Workers did a pretty good job. But no follow-up by JES after work was completed and that was months ago. That was disappointing. I felt like after they got their money I was just another number.

We were obtaining estimates for foundation matters. JES completed a detailed survey of the issue as did 2 other companies. JES is very thorough and I can recommend you at least consult with them.

This company was the only one who used a laser to measure the house for level for the estimate. The crew did an excellent job. The foreman, Augustin took the time to explain what they were doing and what the outcome should be. It was amazing to actually see the fireplace chimney move back against the house and feel the floor move inside when the hydraulic pressure was applied to the front of the house. The two man crew who applied poly to the den flooring was also pleasant and explained everything in detail. Again it was amazing to see the front wall move up to the ceiling as the poly was implemented. All around a fantastic job by all. We recommend JES to all who need that type of work done.

We had two crews one that worked on pin points and lifted our chimney, they worked in the rain and completed this job in one day. The second crew used three days for full insulation and dehumidifier insulation in our crawl space and repaired water damaged board subfloor. Really productive crew and professional. I’m still waiting on my chimney to be caulked. Thanks for a getting us done in an efficient time. Please make note thAt Neil Beltoan and Eric Gawond were outstanding and professional during the complete job.

Horrible. My floors are still not level since July. Work not completed to my satisfaction so I stopped the final payment. They are upset with me for doing that. They stated today they are done and want the rest of the money for the job. They are now threatening to send my account to collections for non-payment. In July they told me my floors would not be perfect but I sure did not expect to walk across humps in the floor and still have a sunken bathroom for $9K. I am filing a complaint with BBB, the Attorney General, and DPOR. When I logged onto the BBB today there was another complaint just like mine...their floors were still not level either since July. This company agreed to level my floors yet wrote on the contract “stabilize” just like the other complaint in BBB...was not what we discussed. Angie’s list needs to remove this company from your list of preferred contractors ASAP. No one else should ever have to experience what I am experiencing now. 2 people is 1 too many. Clearly this is an ongoing problem that they dont know how to fix . They should have told the truth and never took the job in the first place. I feel like I was “hustled”. They will not get another penny from me the way my floors look! Threaten me with collections all they want to! Shame on them!!!! By the way, I am a person who has an excellent credit score. I pay my bills. However, I am not going to pay $9000 for shoddy work!!!!!
