"My experience with Copper Fox was absolutely terrible. The sales representative, Harold, assured me the project was 2-3 weeks. We started the project in early May. Copper Fox was very gracious and took a two hour lunch break instead of a one hour lunch break everyday so that my son could sleep. I knew that this accommodation would likely make the project take a little longer, but would only affect the loud portion of construction which was framing and some of the screwing during the installation of drywall. Copper Fox did not finish the project until the end of September because they failed to order materials in a timely manner. On top of the project delay the workmanship was extremely shoddy and they failed to communicate with me in a timely manner. Their "project manager" barely came to site and didn't show up for the final inspection I had to handle it myself. I am happy to share my contract and all email correspondence."

"Tony Hall was awesome. I know of JES since they started in the area but never had any reason to request a free inspection until I wanted to assess the condition of my crawlspace prior to selling the house. I learned so much about the function of a crawlspace and the current condition of mine. His inspection did not reveal any emergent issues with my 25 year old house but he did take the time to show me about encapsulating my crawlspace which will improve insulation properties and keep the area just about maintenance free. Included is a 25 year warranty which is transferable should I sell the house. I completely recommend JES and their inspector Tony Hall. I will be calling them to inspect and make recommendations to my next home when purchased."

"Woody and Tiba were incredible! They are definitely the jack of all trades. They moved me into a new place and it was not easy. They had to break down furniture, put it back together, fit awkward shaped furniture in small spaces and they did it all with kindness, patience, professionalism and great communication. There was more furniture than expected and their eye for spacial reasoning to get it all to fit in the truck was on point. They were careful with everything. It was the smoothest moving experience I've ever had and I've moved a lot. I highly recommend them for moving or any household project you need. They are knowledgeable about so much!"

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

In Charlottesville, foundation repair projects require ongoing maintenance to preserve your home’s structural integrity. Inspect for new cracks or shifting after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles, which are common locally. Clean gutters and downspouts monthly to prevent water pooling near the foundation. Check that grading slopes away from your home, and monitor crawl spaces for excess moisture. Schedule annual inspections to catch early signs of foundation settlement.

Helpful?

In Charlottesville, homeowners often underestimate the importance of soil testing before starting foundation repair projects, leading to improper solutions for settlement issues. Skipping drainage improvements or using generic concrete mixes that don’t suit local clay soils can compromise repairs. Failing to address setback requirements or stormwater management rules may result in compliance problems. Overlooking the need for a structural engineer’s assessment, especially in older homes, is another frequent error.

Helpful?

For Charlottesville homes, high-strength, sulfate-resistant concrete is ideal for reinforcing foundations affected by clay soil movement. Steel push piers and helical piers are effective for stabilizing homes with foundation settlement. Carbon fiber straps work well for reinforcing basement walls in humid conditions. Polyurethane foam injection is preferred for sealing cracks, while French drains and waterproof membranes help manage groundwater intrusion and protect structural stability.

Helpful?

When planning foundation repair projects in Charlottesville, consider the impact of expansive clay soils, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall on your home’s structural stability. Narrow access roads and buried utilities can affect repair logistics. Homes in historic districts or near waterways may face extra environmental or permitting requirements. Soil testing and proper drainage planning are essential to ensure long-term success and compliance with local regulations.

Helpful?

Your Charlottesville home may need foundation repair projects if you notice stair-step cracks in brickwork, uneven floors, or doors and windows that stick—especially in neighborhoods with older homes or those built on clay-rich soils. Properties near creeks or with mature trees often experience foundation settlement. If these issues worsen after storms or seasonal changes, it’s a strong indicator that professional assessment is needed.
