Lee came and inspected everything and made sure I understood what he was doing and why. It turned out that i had no leak and it was the water supply to my fridge that was spraying the ceiling which in turn was dropping water onto my floor. He already had the saw to cut the ceiling but because he found that where the water was coming from BEFORE he cut my ceiling, he did not need to because it would have been no use to do that. Prevented me from doing more work not to mention more expenses to patch the hole which didnt need to be there on the first place. Highly recommend them!

Good work by the crew of Manuel ******, José ****, and Luis *****. Got a lot of work done all on time, even with the need to change some details for digging to place some of the piles. Everything looks great afterward.

We had a leak occur in our main line underground in our crawl space. A1 quickly responded to our call. Our technician Chris showed up on time and went straight after the problem. He kept us up on what was happening and how to fix. He was upfront about the cost and completed the repairs in short order. Chris was awesome, knowledgeable and polite. We will definitely use A1 again and recommend them to our family and friends

It was a difficult and anxiety provoking situation finding out that my basement needed structural repair and a sump pump system. But I owe a huge thank you to the JES crew that worked on my project. Nick Garst, David Lombard, Greg Elmore and Matt Ireland were highly professional, took time to answer my questions and worked efficiently. They told me each day what they planned to accomplish and left the job site clean and tidy. I would recommend this team to anyone that needs repair to their home. Thanks, JES

We had some moderate foundation repair work done by Juan and Florencio and they did a great job. They were hard-working and courteous, and explained everything they were doing. My salesperson could have been better at returning my calls, but I'm not going to take a star off for that. Overall everything went great.

Andre McDuffie is awesome! I thought I might need a new sump pump because I thought the one I had wasn’t working. Andre went into my crawl space and checked both sump pumps and found that they were both working! I would highly recommend him and will request that he come out if I have any trouble in the future.
