We would highly recommend James Cook at JES Foundation. He was an efficient, knowledgeable and professional service technician. He also took time answering the questions of our 5 and 8 year old grandsons. It was a highlight of their day.

My experience with JES for the most part was great! Mr. John Trak was my initial inspector who confirmed my fears, but showed me the best way to fix the problem. There were a few scheduling conflicts but once my crew showed up they completed my project in two days. Thank you Dustin my site lead, once he took control he showed up, and performed. Jordan, and Lewis were the other crew members they worked efficiently and smart. JES Foundation and Repair gave me peace of mind, a secured foundation, and added value to my home.

I recently had an inspection completed by JES Foundation Repair Field Inspector Joseph “Joey” McCullough, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Joey conducted a very thorough assessment of my crawlspace, carefully identifying issues related to dampness and sagging insulation while clearly explaining the underlying causes and potential long-term impacts. He took the time to walk me through the recommended repairs and provided a detailed explanation of the benefits and options associated with a full encapsulation system. The entire consultation was pressure-free, informative, and focused on helping me understand the best solutions for my home rather than pushing a sale. Joey’s professionalism, knowledge, and ability to communicate complex issues in an easy-to-understand manner created a comfortable and professional environment throughout the visit. Highly Recommended!

Chris Jones was absolutely amazing! He was kind, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to explain his findings to me. He spoke to me like a true professional, explaining terms, and verbiage that I would have never understood. He is an exceptional human being. JES you have a star in this young man! He made sure I understood the pictures he took, and the "how" and "why". Truly who you would want to explain the "horrors" of the crawlspace. Thank you for sending Chris today, he is truly amazing!!

We were in need of a repair to our front porch/sidewalk landing which had developed a crack at the connection point, and would require a lift of the sunken portion. I reached out to two repair companies for an inspection and free quote. The first appointment was with JES Foundation Repair and their representative, Blake Snidow. From the wording and "tone" of his very first text, I was already impressed with Blake. The phone call with him that followed was as equally professional, pleasant and kind. We set up the appointment for him to come to the house. He assessed our situation, suggested the probable cause and explained how it could be properly fixed so that the possibility of it reoccurring would be slim to none. He clearly explained the process, the product to be used, the anticipated time of repair and answered our countless questions. He did an exceptional job of diagraming, photographing, inspection of the entire perimeter of the property, the yard soil itself, and probably more that we didn't even pick up on, all so that the repair team would have the best possibility of knowing what to expect upon arrival. He listened ever so patiently and was very sensitive to our concern about a possible exorbitant cost, since we are retired seniors now on a fixed income. He led us ever so patiently (without pressure) down the path of all considerations and possibilities, including various payment options. He was not in a mad rush to price and run, but took time to not only ensure that we were completely comfortable with every aspect of the job to be done, the contract wording, and payment arrangement, but to also allow us time to get to know one another. I cannot say enough about how impressed we were with this young man. It was so refreshing to see such maturity, honesty, superb communication skills, respect, patience, sincerity and kindness at his age. What a remarkable representative for the company Blake is! We felt so comfortable with the whole process (which ultimately led to the signing of a contract for the work to be done) that we decided to cancel the appointment with the other company that was scheduled to come a week later. Our job is set to be done in a couple weeks, so we cannot yet speak to our satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the completed job; however, we both feel very confident that it will be done right and to our standards. And we are both VERY picky. It was so wonderful to meet you Blake! Keep up the great work!!

Joey was very professional! He did a sufficient review of the issue and provided great options to complete the work. He explained everything in a very understandable way. We were previously quoted an extremely high amount for the same work. Joey helped us get the work done for a price we could afford! Would definitely recommend this company, and Joey, to another person in need!

James Cook of JES just completed my annual warranty review. He was very thorough and addressed the one concern I had. While I did not get the lift I was looking for from the original work. James showed me that we did get stabilization which was the other reason I used JES.

Home Repair Specialists in Richmond-Petersburg

Central Virginians including those from Richmond, Petersburg, Midlothian, and neighboring towns withstand hot, muggy summers every year. While you take shelter in your home from this weather, your home may need protection as well. High levels of humidity on an unprotected basement or crawl space can cause mildew and mold, as well as rot the joists your home rests on.  

The sandy properties of the soil in and around Richmond puts homes at a high risk of erosion over time. Erosion can cause your home to suffer from severe settling. While some settling is normal, it’s wise to have an expert take a look to ensure there are no severe issues beneath the surface. When paired with heavy rain or flooding, erosion can cause water to pool around your home and leak into your crawl space or basement. This can be another cause for mold in your home, and can produce condensation, wet basement walls, and efflorescence. 

Firmly standing on years of experience in foundation and crawl space repair, concrete lifting, and basement waterproofing, professionals at JES can accurately diagnose your Richmond home’s problem areas. We are proud to then give you permanent solutions tailored to your unique home, so you can continue enjoying it.
