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!

Technician was punctual, professional, and very efficient. We didn't expect the replacement of our unserviceable water heater would occur the same day, never mind within a two-hour period. We are very happy with the results.

Paul came to my home to provide an estimate on insulation replacement. He called to inform me he was ahead of schedule and to get permission to arrive a little earlier. He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and upfront. He provided a full inspection of my crawl space with a video showing exactly where the issues were with my insulation and mold. I felt he was very thorough and honest in his findings and I appreciate that even though the estimate was free, he did not try to force me to make an immediate purchase commitment.

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!

Rob Tennyson was Super! He walked me through this process with knowledge and expertise. Such a wonderful human being! . The gentlemen that worked with him on the pool apron to lift the concrete, Bryan Rutherford and Diante, did a great job. Efficient and competent…This team worked well together to complete a difficult job and took problems in stride to see that the job was done well. These guys are hard workers.. lots to do ..and it was professionally and timely.
