"Purchased a 1906 home in North Portland with an uneven foundation that had been patched for 60 years, but needed serious stabilization work. I contacted multiple foundation contractors in the greater-Portland area and Ram Jack was the only team that provided a full worse-case estimate that included everything that I may need to permanently stabilize the home's foundation. Other contractors' estimates were higher, omitted some of the features of Ram Jack's estimate, and involved greater excavation work around the home. While I was collecting estimates, I had multiple contractors check the levels on the house and could see the home was continuing to sink as much as half and inch in some areas within only a few months, so I knew I had to do something soon as the hotter summers are causing significant erosion to the clay soil in north portland. After paying the 50% down payment, I was quickly in touch with multiple project managers and structural engineers who were able to answer my questions as the work plan developed. I work from home and have two cats, so I was a bit worried about the noise and needing to leave at certain times during the work. Ramjack devised a plan of installing 12 helical piers from the basement and 2 outside for a small crawl space area as well as replacing most of the piers in the basement that had water damage. During the excavation and pier installation, I didn't have to leave my house at all, my cats were fine, none of the utilities ever needed to be turned off and none of the neighbors said they heard more than the hum of the generator outside; insane professionalism. The work team kept me informed at every step of the excavation and pier installation and was able to recover an inch of lift with only a few drywall cracks that I patched in a day. I could have gone further, but wanted to avoid any potential damage to the sewer pipes and stay within my budget. During the lifting, I was standing with the lead construction manager who kept me informed of every risk as we lifted the house bit by bit. During the excavation my basement looked insane with mounds of dirt everywhere, but the construction team cleaned everything flawlessly; all I had to do was a quick mop and the basement was good as new again. Overall had a great experience with RamJack; the 20 years in business shows, most everyone I dealt with had been working with them for years; the construction manager had been doing pier installation for 15 years. The work was expensive, but cheaper than the other local contractors, and certainly way cheaper than replacing the entire basement foundation. Ramjack was even able to take a few grand off the intitial worse-case estimate for solutions not needed. Glad I was able to repair my 120 year old home; here's to another 100 years. Big thanks to Pancho and Stephen, as well as the structural engineers and project managers; I'm very happy with the work."

"It took nearly 2 weeks to get someone out to my house, but the gentleman arrived early, was courtesy and of the 5 businesses I called they are the only ones that called back. He seemed experienced and knowledgeable. We had some miscommunication however, and about about a week later the same gentleman and his manager came out. They looked at my basement and the outside spaces and sat down with me and walked me through their whole product. At all times they were very polite and informative. I would absolutely work with them if the price had been closer to what I had in hand. I was not aware that really what they were offering was a whole system and there isn't a good way to do only part of the system or do the install in pieces. I am only having issues in one place right now, so completely doing my basement felt like a little much at this point.  Furthermore, their focus is not on keeping water out, but rather managing it once it gets in. The high price point/scope of the work combined with a financial setback that made going beyond the amount I had already saved not really an option are what stopped me. They were great to work with across the board. A year or two from now with more money and potentially more moisture issues I will probably be giving them a call."

"I have had two issues since they installed the new sump pump and irrigation. Issue number one was water still getting passed the new concrete. The other issue is that the new concrete was not level at all which has caused issues with the new flooring I installed. However, their customer service is top notch and will work hard to take care of you."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Great overall experience. Ethan worked with us to find a siding and gutter solution that worked, and responded to all out questions in a timely manner. Very happy with the final product, the exterior of the house looks beautiful and modern and not 1970's anymore."

"The work itself and the work crew were excellent and that part is a definite A. However, I did not receive the same level from the sales and admin areas. In sales I was repeatedly given inaccurate information. At the end I was due a refund of $300+ and it wasn't given to me until I phoned and told them I was supposed to get it. If I hadn't complained, I wouldn't have gotten the refund. They apparently forgot about it. But...as for the quality of the actual work, they are the best and I'm very impressed with the work crew."

"Crew painted the outside of the house removed front beams. They also did termite work in and around the house as well as stucco, patchwork and waterproofing."
