My 5 stars is entirely focused on Matt Grosse. He is the salesman that sold me the job w/JES. I have an old house & very limited to no funds due to all the repairs i have had to have done w/this place the last 10years. So i have dealt w/many contractors. Some r rude, vague, very abrupt & abbrasive. Matt took his time to look over the situation & discuss w/me what he saw that needed addressing sooner than later & was detailed & patient w/explaining it to me. I had a few minor hiccups w/the company’s office manager & the crew that did the job. Nothing that couldn't be easily addressed & corrected. However, she was not always returning my calls & was hard to get ahold of so i reached out to Matt. He was always VERY polite & knowledgeable & was able to take care of the issues immediately. Very professional ALWAYS but very much a human being first. If he is in charge of ur job u can bet he will do EVERYTHING in his power to make it right!! Even AFTER the job is done & paid for. I am so glad to have had him in charge. He can be very proud of the work he does. He does Customer Service proud. JES should be grateful to have him on their payroll!!!! A satisfied customer, C. Furrow

JES has done an encapsulation of my crawlspace including a dehumidifier to control humidity. Chris Good did an excellent inspection and presentation of the work to be done. The job was done in a timely manner. The foreman, Zach, has excellent customer service skills and kept me informed of the job's progress to include a new crawlspace door. Both he and his team attacked this job with hard work on a very hot day and finished in one day instead of the original estimate of two days.

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!!

Jon Trak was our field inspector and even though we didn’t receive the best news regarding our foundation he made the whole situation extremely pleasant and he was the utmost professional. His truthful candor is without rival. His calm demeanor put us at ease and let us work through a tough decision. We will forever remember the way in with which he carried himself and the way he worked with us. We felt like more than just customers, he treated us like family. Thank you John.

Chad Anderson with JES Foundation Repair was outstanding to work with. His communication was excellent, and he took the time to make sure my husband and I fully understood what was going on with our home and what needed to be done. He explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process much less stressful. We really appreciate his professionalism and highly recommend him.

David Lucas has cared for us and our home well. We gave greatly appreciated his service inspecting our crawlspace and giving helpful guidance on how to handle the moisture issues that were presenting; assessing the crawlspace work after the job had been completed; and giving helpful suggestions when we thought we had foundation and possible mold issues. We have not been disappointed!

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.
