They were recommended to me. Was honest with estimate. Told me everything that was going happen. Performed work in timely fashion. Would definitely recommend again

JES left my home in worse shape and won’t return my calls to come repair the damage left. I reached out to them to install a joist support system under my kitchen so that I can renovate this year. There were floor joists under the back door that had been cut during a renovation about 30 years ago. JES installed a jack system but then left my foundation under the door where you can literally see daylight from the basement. I brought this up to the crew before they left late Friday night (they worked long hours just to “finish” without even asking me if it was okay to trap me at home that late), and the lead just shrugged at me. Shortly after they left, it rained, and sure enough, water poured into my electrical room and all over the freshly poured concrete. I called Friday night, sent an email and text with videos, and called today 3 times. Each time the “production manager” is “busy.” Before this, they were perfectly capable of blowing up my phone to see if I could schedule sooner. JES is seriously lacking in work planning and professionalism.

First class in every way. Our special thanks to Foreman Rob, Dante M, Corey G, Brandon C., and Justin. They were very courteous and professional in every way. All projects were nicely done, completed as planned, and clean up was complete. Rob, Dante, Corey, Brandon, and Justin are outstanding representatives of JES and do great work!

Within three days of calling, JES had Chad onsite to do a thorough inspection. Based on our introductory conversation, I could tell Chad was very knowledgeable and experienced. He spent nearly two hours inspecting my home to identify the cause of the issue I was experiencing. Upon completion, Chad informed me that he and JES could not help. They couldn't help because the problem was not with my basement or foundation walls. Rather he pointed out two downspouts and a grading issue under the down spouts that were caus of my issues. It is not very often I have run across a true professional like Chad who did not put profit over honesty. Because he was honest, I have likely kept thousands of dollars in my pockets and JES Foundation Repair has earned my respect, my honest review, and all future references I make for them to friends and family in the area with foundation issues. Thank you Chad and JES for your ethics, honesty, and promptness! - Dave H

Concrete Leveling

The work was not completed to my satisfaction. The first worker sent out was very inexperienced and couldn’t complete the job as promised during my consultation. Another person had to come to finish the work. Additionally, the step had to be redone because it was uneven, and they used two different colors of cement. While I was okay with the original work not matching the existing concrete, my steps now have three different colors. The work is not seamless, the crack repairs were poorly done, and the foam used to raise the steps was left visible on the outside. Initially, the manager listened to my concerns, but when all the corrections were not completed, I never heard back. Instead, I was simply sent a payment link. This entire experience has been disappointing.

I hired JES Foundation Repair to install some columns in my basement to correct a sag in the floor. Unfortunately, JES found a way to disappoint at almost every opportunity. They assured me this would be a simple one-day project. The project, scheduled for July 15th, quickly spiraled into a mess due to issues with two water lines that had been discussed with the engineer who came to my home. When the plumber arrived, instead of focusing on the task at hand, he thought it was appropriate to flash his concealed firearm and share his political views, including his opinions on LGBTQ+ matters. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also deeply unsettling. After the water lines were moved—once by the plumber they sent and four more times by myself over a two-week period—I informed JES that everything was ready. They scheduled the completion for August 9th, but that day came and went with no call and no show. When I called to ask what happened, I was told they had never put the job on the schedule. After following up, they rescheduled for the 15th, only to call me a few days later asking to come on the 14th instead. I agreed on the condition that the project be completed that day, and they assured me it would be. On the morning of the 14th, I received a text at 7:34 AM saying the crew was on the way, followed by a call from the foreman at 7:35 AM stating they couldn’t make it and would come tomorrow instead. I am beyond frustrated with JES Foundation Repair. Their lack of professionalism, poor communication, and disrespect for my time have made this a truly unpleasant experience. I cannot recommend their services and strongly advise others to consider alternatives.

Drain Pipe Installation
I submitted a request via Angi.com, but I DID NOT select JES Foundation Repair from the recommended businesses. (There were numerous recommendations, and I did not need an estimate from them.) Despite not selecting JES Foundation Repair, I received 6 texts and 4 phone calls from 4 people over two hours. I "STOPped" the text messages and blocked several incoming phone numbers. Yet, a day later, I still received phone calls from different people from "JES" to follow up on providing an estimate. I accept that submitting a request to Angi.com often results in a shark-feeding frenzy. However, this contractor was annoying and bothersome, so I now NEVER want them to do work for me.

Cam and Karon did a great job. The front office was abysmal. I had asked that they use my home phone or email, not my cell. They only texted. When I called with questions, they indicated they'd get back to me. They didn't. The first appointment I waited all day, only to learn at 5 p.m. that I had to reschedule because their truck broke down. A month later I still didn't know whether they'd show up until Cam called to say they'd be there in 35 minutes.

The work was not done correctly and they never told me what they needed to do to correct it. They made appointments with me for over three months to come back and correct their work. I’m having to take them to court, call Better Business Bureau. I paid them almost 1200.00 dollars. I really only needed one side done which should have been around 400.00. I’ve never in my adult life dealt with a company like this.
