Get matched with top house leveling pros in Odell, OR

"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."

"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."

"There was some miscommunication between the dispatcher and I but the plumber that came to my house explained the issue and rescheduled me for the weekend. I explained the urgency of filling in the trenches and he accommodated my schedule, he was great to work with. He spoke very highly of his company, not something you hear everyday from employees!"

"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."

" Our home was built in 1910 and is considered historic by the city.  Two Maple trees'  had done their best to affect the foundation, (our bedroom floor had sunk 3 inches),  What complicated this project was that we had just put in a tile floor and shower in the bath,
Mike and his crew showed up on time, actually a half hour early.  They went about their business in a professional manner digging out the foundation, setting 8 jacks and leveling out our home.  They were friendly, polite and kept me apprised every step of the way.  It was a 2 day process and when they were done, our bedroom floor was level and there was not a chip removed from any of the bathroom tiles.
Initially I felt the price was steep but after seeing all that was involved in the job, I was satisfied that we had gotten our monies worth.
Interestingly, 2 days later we discovered a water leak in our backyard.  I called TerraFirma and informed them there was a problem.  An hour and a half later, Mike and his crew pulled up and dug up the leak.  It soon became apparent to me that the leak had nothing to do with their work.  Nonetheless, Mike drove over to Jerry's not once but twice to buy parts in an attempt to fix the leak on a Friday at 5:30 P.M..  They went above and beyond to try to bail me out of a very bad spot.  I appreciate the expertise and professionalism that TerraFirma demonstrated and have no problem recommending them to repair your home.

"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."

"Our yard has a low area that tends to be very wet. We wanted to see what our options were for collecting and diverting water away from the house. This company had a very professional presentation, but the solutions seemed to be more complicated and expensive than we thought were necessary. Our crawl space is dry, yet they really wanted us to purchase and install a very expensive sealed system for that area. We ended up working with a landscaper instead. He installed a simple french drain in the wettest part of the yard which has completely handled the problem. Rather than spend many thousands of dollars, we spent a couple of hundred.
