JSA Masonry and Foundation Specialists
About us
JSA Specialists is a 3rd generation foundation and masonry repair company. They specialize in stabilizing footings that have settled such as steps, porches, chimneys, and most importantly, the foundation of your home. They are one of very few companies that will fix all your masonry problems after repairing the foundation/footing. Therefore you do not have to call another company to cosmetically repair these problems. They have built foundations for new homes for many years and even bricked homes. This experience has helped in being able to restore almost any structure back to the original position when others may walk away. They also have experience with chimneys that pull away or even lean in toward the home. The can also repair garage lintels that have bowed or center brick columns that have dropped. “I understand how hard it is to find a contractor to do exactly what they say they are going to do instead of giving you the run around. Being on the job to communicate with the homeowner helps to achieve this instead of relying on sub contractors to do it. Give us the opportunity to restore your most important asset.” – J. Scott Anglin.

Scott, his son and the crew did a fabulous Job. These guys know what they are doing. From the first time I talked to Scott, he put me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism. They not only fixed the foundation issue, but repaired all of the brick that had cracked and made it look like new. They attached the lintel to the main beam of the house which was never done when the house was built, and again, fixed all of the cracking bricks. i can't say enough about how good these guys are. I have used some of their competitors on other jobs and you won't get the service and perfection from the big companies like you will with JSA. Reed Tanner

I went with JSA primarily because I felt Scott took the most time to explain the work that needed to be done and why it needed to be done. He answered all of my questions and never seemed to be bothered by my lack of understanding initially of the work itself. He and his crew arrived on time and took great care to make sure my yard and bushes would be put back together as much as possible. They even moved my sprinkler heads out of the way and put them back in place after the job was done. The crew was not bothered at all by my presence and my watching them work ( I felt like a little kid fascinated by what they were doing). Scott even took time out during the job to explain things as he went. While it was not possible to put my porch back into its original position (this would have destroyed all the stone work), I believe we got some lift and now I'm no longer concerned that I will have worsening porch problems going forward. I'm truly happy that I picked JSA to do this job for me and would recommend them without hesitation.

Scott and his helper, Patrick, were great. This is Scott's company, and he did the work. Patrick did the support help. They told me what they were doing and seemed unbothered by my watching what they did. Scott explained things as he worked. I was very pleased with them while on the job. Now that the mortar has dried, you cannot tell it from the original. I am even more pleased with them now.

I got quotes from 3 companies to stabilize my sinking foundation. All were about the same in what they wanted to do. Scott came in at the lowest price and the most honest quote. After hearing the others and what they wanted to do, Scott offered me options and what to watch for. We scheduled a time for the work to be done over 2 days. I needed 10 piers installed. I had a conflict on the first day, but that was not an issue. Scott got started right away. Prior to the job starting, he showed me the plants that needed to be trimmed or removed. All was approved. He and his helpers were hard at work when I was able to get there to see what was going on. Their pump system was small enough to navigate the small side yard. They finished in the 2 days they promised and put the landscaping back as best they could. Better than they had promised! Excellent work ethic, excellent prices, and very honest. I highly recommend them.

JSA provides an excellent foundation solution. It is almost half the price of conventional foundation solutions. The job is completed in one day and is totally finished. saving the cost of hiring another company to do finishing work. The owner was on site working the job. I have used JSA twice and was extremely satisfied. I have recommended JSA to others who experienced the same great results. I would absolutely use them again and would highly recommend JSA to others.

Scott responded quickly to my request for a quote, which was in line with quotes I had gotten from two other contractors. I selected JSA to do the job, and Scott and his helper arrived on time on the scheduled day and got right to work. They did the job in just 4-5 hours with little disruption to my property. I was pleased with their overall performance and the corner of the house that had the problem looks much better.

Very pleased. Their work as exactly as described and met our needs.
They were prompt, arriving when they were scheduled and finished in one day.
Prior to doing the work, they were very responsive to email questions (Which made it much easier for me to do business with them as it it can be difficult for me to use the telephone during the day.)
Additionally, without our requesting it, they noticed themselves we had a new driveway and refrained from parking on it.

I am 100% satisfied with the work they did. I selected JSA based on reviews here on Angie's List. Reviewers commented on the outstanding quality of their work, and I agree. I could not be happier with the way the job went and the appearance of the finished work. You literally cannot tell that there were ever any cracks or gaps in the masonry. Scott and his crew showed up on time, were great to work with, and finished the entire job in one day. They are true professionals and really know what they are doing. The total cost was exactly what Scott quoted me, and it was reasonable for the work done. I HIGHLY recommend JSA Masonry & Foundation Specialists!

It went great! Scott was able to work around my schedule which was a huge convenience. He arrived as scheduled and explained how the process would work. The job went as planned with amazing results and he went beyond what the job required and repaired several other mortar joints that were not included in the estimate.
I highly recommend Scott for any settlement and brick work.

"Thank you again for allowing us to perform this repair. I was glad to see the lift of the brick column go back into the original position. You know a lot of people are not able to be at home when we work on their homes because of their busy schedule. I can appreciate homeowners like you who can take the time to see this work from beginning to end. Also communicating with you along the way helps you understand the complete process. I can also say I very much enjoy working for homeowners like you who we get along so well with as far as humor, conversations, and just overall politeness. Thank you again for the kind words and don't hesitate to call if you have any problems whatsoever. J. Scott Anglin 770-590-8184"

"I wanted to take the time to say thank you for sending the wonderful review. I believe all of that mortar that was placed behind the steps before we got there was lodged underneath the footing. Actually I believe it got between the bottom of the steps on the top of the footing causing it to have a void underneath it. I'm glad we were able to come back and fix it the right way. If you have any problems at all don't hesitate to give us a call. Thank you again for the business. J. Scott Anglin 770-590-8184"

Simply put, JSA vastly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. Scott (owner) is very easy to work with. I had 4 companies quote the work, with JSA being the lowest price. I asked a lot of questions and ultimately decided JSA and one other vendor were the ones I felt most confident would do a good job, and at that point chose JSA because they were about 10% less expensive. Based on conversations with both Scott and the other companies I had quote the work, I knew it was unlikely we'd get the room completely level without cracking the foundation. In my mind best case going into the work was that we'd get it lifted about 2" and would then just level the floor on the inside. Scott his crew came out as scheduled and quickly got the piers installed and ready to go, and then the lifting began. Lifting in 1/4" to 1/2" increments, they were able to get the floor almost perfectly level, with no cracks in the foundation. No interior leveling necessary. Additionally, I had a general contractor on hand to fix any other damage that might result (obviously moving a room like that has other implications, although in this case no notable damage resulted). After JSA left he was walking around the house and he commented that he was impressed how well they back-filled everything and how clean they left it. Just thought that was worth noting.

"[member name removed], Please tell [member name removed] thanks for calling us out initially and giving us the opportunity to repair the foundation. I was also amazed that we were able to get this lifted without cracking the slab. Sometimes this isn’t the case but the amount of piers installed helped us achieve this. I also wanted to take the time to say thank you both for choosing us to fix your home. Both of you were great to do business with and I’m glad you were there to see this actually come back into place. We’ve done a lot of foundation lifting and most of the time they do go back into place just like this did. Thank you also for the great things you said about our company. I know both of you thanked us at the jobsite but you taking the time to actually send a review is truly appreciated. We are here for future repairs should you need us again. Thanks again, J.

Scott Anglin and assistant were on time, stayed within the proposed budget, did the repairs, cleaned up, and left me with an absolutely perfect wall on my house. You cannot tell they have done that work. Their repairs to the mortar and brick are incredible. I'll use them whenever I need anything in this realm.

"[removed member name], Thank you for this terrific review!! It was a pleasure doing work for you and I do appreciate business. Sometimes these repairs are difficult to perform but I do agree you can't even tell we were there. I will say $2 (typo above) would have been a great deal for you and I wish we could work that cheap!! But yes I'm glad we did stay with the budget of around $2000. Again thank you for the work and if you have any problems at all don't hesitate to call us. J. Scott Anglin 404-680-1525"

A corner of my garage foundation was sinking when I bought the property two years ago. I have been putting of the repair ever since because I did not want to deal with foundation repair contractors. I had one come out and give me a quote. It was for $3,700 to install three piers. I thought the repair only needed two piers, based on engineering data I had read about pier load/spacing, and the contractor was padding his invoice. Once again, I put off the repair. With all of the rain we've had since October, the foundation had really started to settle. The cracks in the mortar joints had and quot;stair-steppedand quot; and were approaching 3and quot;. I realized I had to make the repair, or risk the wall falling.
I checked Angie's List and found JSA. Their reviews looked good, so I gave them a call. Scott came out while I was at work and looked at the job. He called me within a few hours and told me two piers for $2,400. I scheduled the job for Friday 1/19/2014.
Scott said he would arrive at 9:30 AM and he was right on the dot. He explained what he was going to do and got right to work. By 3:30 he was done. I couldn't be more happier with the service and the repair. You now have a hard time telling the wall ever had damage. The guy really knows his business and is a true professional. There are a lot of fly-by-night foundation repair companies around Atlanta. The first one I called (also with decent reviews on Angie's List) tried to gouge me for an extra $1,300. If you want it done right and at a fair price, give Scott at JSA a call. I am so glad I found him on Angie's List, he really treated me right. He's an honest, down-to-earth guy that delivers on what he says.

Thanks again and if you have any problems at all don't hesitate to let me know. We'll still be here. It truly was a pleasure working with you. J. Scott Anglin"

Tougher job than anyone though. They had to dig down around four feet to reach the bottom of the slab but persisted and I feel like our porch is now stable. Scott was able to do this with minimal damage to our landscape.

Tthe owner was on the job the whole time and his people are extremely nice and helpful. The work went quickly and cleanly. I appreciated the fact that I did not have to find my own brick mason to finish the work. They did it all. When I had a question later in the year, they were quick to respond.
I can very confidently recommend their very professional services.

After seeking quotes and advice from three highly rated
foundation repair specialists on Angie’s List, I decided to go with JSA and
Scott because he listened to my needs and gave me exactly what I requested. His
bid price was the best of the three quotes I received and while not the main
reason for selecting him it was also important.
Scott and his crew were punctual and did very high quality
work. He explained everything as he was working on the project and left me
thrilled with the final results.
I would highly recommend Scott and JSA for any foundation
work.

They did very well. They were extremely professional. They were knowledgeable of masonry. I grew up knowing how to build houses and they knew exactly what to do. They were on time and did everything that they said they would. The cleaned everything perfectly because this was in the flower bed area. So they took care of the plants, put it back and nothing died. They were really good.

Scott Anglin, the owner of JSA, came to the site to give me a detailed estimate of the work required and the charge for completing each phase of the work. It was a professionally prepared and very detailed estimate that was emailed to me the day after his visit to the site. We agreed on a date for the work to be done. JSA was on site early and stayed late until all the work was completed and the site completely cleaned. The owner was on site for the entire job and explained to me every step they were taking. They were careful not to damage or harm any surrounding landscaping or fixtures. No money was requested until the job was finished and the repair was satisfactory to the homeowner. I was thrilled with the results of the repair and feel very comfortable that the cracks will never reappear.; I can't tell there was ever a crack in brick on my house. Thanks, JSA!
