"After another contractor told me I needed $13000 to level 1 corner of garage, Ramjack said it wasn't necessary yet but to keep watch for anymore movement and let them know."
"Truly one of the most professional and hard-working contractors I have seen. They have been very thorough with the job, the preparation to paint on our old house that has been needing a new coat of paint for a long time has been extensive and most certainly not haphazard. There are so many different places where the wood has rotted out and they continue to take that all out and replace where needed like a professional job should be done. I have seen many contractors brush these types of things over due to the extra amount of work it takes, but that is not these guys. This company will make sure a job is done right! On a personal note, I also have a baby I need to put down for a nap each day, and they have been so understanding to work on the other side of the house and keep quiet until my baby wakes up. HUGE thank you to this company and their skill, professionalism, and positive attitudes."
"The Tech was polite and respectful; he was very knowledgeable and was determined to find the issue of the leaking water from our common shower to the bottom level of our home."
"They did a great job! They were reasonable priced. Very careful not to track dirt through the house while they were working. Excellent communication scheduling and throughout the process."
"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"after several reschedules on both of our parts, the Saturday came that the weather was good and both parties schedule worked. The work was to begin at 1200noon, I got a call at 1100a stating the owner was in Beaverton on a leak job that turned out to be bigger than they thought and could someone else come look at the work to be done, I had some errands to run but would be back by 200p, reschedule arrival to 200p. By 430p, no call and no workers. I called to John who informed me his lead roofer was on his way and should be at my house in 30 mins or so,. The worker had locked his keys in the car but was picking them up and was on his way. By 6pm, I called again, got a message machine and was frustrated. Almost at the same time the worker showed up, then John called back while I was showing the worker around. He got on the roof, climbed back down, got a caulking gun, climbed back up, total of 40 mins later he was at the door telling me I had a few raised nails, he had caulked around them and caulked down the shingles. I asked a few more questions about the life of my roof and what did he think of the condition. He basically referred me back to John. John never even saw my roof. I have not had a good rain yet to see how the work was done, me guess is it will leak again. The roof was not cleaned off, the gutter nails were not checked-all of which were supposed to be covered by the Angie list coupon. I knew when it was Saturday evening after a long day of roofing elsewhere, my service would suffer and it did. "
"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

It restores concrete, prevents replacement cost disruptions, reduces trip hazards, and provides stability at a lower cost.
Yes, you can mudjack cracked concrete, but the cracks will need to be repaired once the concrete has been leveled. If the concrete is severely cracked in multiple places, replacement may be a better option, but for less severe cracking, mudjacking is a good solution as long as cracks are correctly caulked and sealed.
On average, a mudjacking repair lasts between five and 10 years, though it can sometimes last for well beyond a decade under ideal conditions. Its longevity depends heavily on several factors, including the condition of the underlying soil, environmental conditions like freeze/thaw cycles and erosion, and whether the root cause of the sinking, such as drainage issues, is resolved. Because it doesn't always fix the underlying problem of loose soil, mudjacking is often considered a temporary solution. Proper maintenance and evaluation can help extend its lifespan.
A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a foundation repair pro to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation.
Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.
