Get matched with top house leveling pros in Max Meadows, VA

"This was a great experience.  Jeff Dame, the owner, was not immediately available to do the work but followed up about a month after my initial call.  He and his crew then came out a couple of days later and worked all week tearing down an old concrete retaining wall and rebuilding it.  In doing so, they had to dismantle an old fence and fight their way through brush, roots, and a huge ancient rose bush.  The crew was always friendly and polite - they even helped my daughter carry some heavy boxes into the house during a couple of their breaks. 
Jeff proposed moving the driveway gate, which had become nearly unusable because of the slant of the old retaining wall.  The new placement puts it out of the path of the retaining wall and away from the guttering at the corner of the house.  He also redesigned the gate to make it easier to open and more stable.
The finished wall and gate are both distinct improvements over the original designs.  The retaining wall is now a solid, reinforced structure that should not develop a slant over the years.  Jeff even put a facing on the wall to make it more attractive, rather than the bare concrete of the old wall.  I had envisioned just a basic replacement, but Jeff exceeded my expectations and kept everything within budget.  He and his crew also cleaned everything up well at the end of the job.
I would recommend J&D Masonry and Jeff Dame, and would gladly hire him again.

"We contacted JES at their NOVA office in Manassas. We were visited by an outstanding JES structural engineer, Lance Ziolkowski. Lance answered all our questions, planned the structural improvements needed in our basement, prepared paperwork for county permits, and advised us throughout the process. When the permit was approved, a team came to inject a poly product to fill voids under our garage. A second team came to install 5 Intellijacks under the beams in the ceiling of our basement, and also raise the Intellijacks to provide better support for our house. When there was a minor mistake, JES s installation supervisor Manny Chavez, came to correct it. To ensure everything was completed correctly, Lance (the engineer) returned to measure and confirm that the Intellijacks were raised to the right height. Lance s guidance throughout the project made all the difference! We are pleased to know that our garage floor is now stabilized and that we now have a solid, strong foundation supporting our house. Good job JES!"

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"Good people to work with, professional in every way. Normally when we received 2" of rain water would start entering the basement. When we receive 3" the basement floor would be covered. Two days after installing their system our area received 8.5" of rain and our basement remained dry, not a drop got in the house. These guys know what they are doing."

"I had a small but complicated, hard to access, and structurally essential repair job on a 60-year-old concrete deck attached to my 280-year-old Pennsylvania limestone farmhouse. I contacted several masons listed for my area on Home Advisor, and included Mr. Grady as a long shot -- I read about his expertise with historical structures and wished I had access to such an expert craftsman, but I didn't think he'd be interested in my teeny job and assumed I wouldn't be able to afford him anyway. He was the first one to return my call and to look at the job, and I thought his price was fair. I believe now it was way more than fair, considering the time he spent. He did extensive research, going over a structural engineer's report I had done previously on the deck and even examining the original architectural drawings and materials invoices from 1959. He showed up at least three times to complete the repair in stages, and has been back a half a dozen times since then to check the job -- and my location is not exactly in his neighborhood. He accepted only enough payment in advance to pay for lodging for himself and his assistant when they stayed nearby one night in order to be there early the next morning. He gave and continues to give free advice about preserving my stone house and patio. If you prod him a little, he might even share some of his personal philosophy, earned over a lifetime of work that is clearly more of an art form than a job to him. Overall, I'd say you can hire one of many competent contractors and get an adequate job, or you can hire Mr. Grady and get superior work by someone who cares about your property as much as you do."

"This work was done through Choice Home Warranty, with the repair being given to Sears Services. The first Technician diagnosed the problem as being the heating element on the bottom of the ice maker not working, so the dumping motor was under stress to push out the ice from the tray. The ice maker was replaced and tested fine. However, the new ice maker was a new model (the freezer is 13 years old) and appeared to be identical except that the ice maker plug cover did not connect to the freezer wall to cover the plug. The cover was left pushed down on the electric cord and in the path of the back finger that pushes out the rear cube. That stopped the ice maker from working. Only notice it about 30 minutes after the Technician left. Called within hours but had to wait a week for the next appointment. That second appointment was postponed due to an illness of the Technician and pushed back to the following week. The Technician who came completely removed (cut off) the plug cover, which may not have been necessary. I think it would have been possible to cut off the 2 inserts molded into the cover intended to snap into slots in the freezer wall (the old cover used screws to hold it to the wall) and cover the plug and the multi-colored wires going into it. Now all that is visible. I also had the second Technician adjust the side-by-side, separate framed refrigerator and freezer as they had been misaligned by a prior Technician. The magnetic spacer between the units was preventing the refrigerator door from properly closing. The Technician was thorough in his work, removing the bottom panel of the frame kit to get to the levelers on the bottom of the units and also be able to grab and shift the units into alignment. After he left we noticed that the refrigerator door, though closing properly, seems to be easier to open . . . . like the magnetic seal is not as strong. The door closes tight but just seems different. Don't know why."

"Travis Pruitt spent several hours evaluating our problems, boldly going where no one had dared go before. Not only was the crawl space of our newly purchased property full of junk and damp insulation, but the main support girder had come apart and twisted, and the house was in danger of caving in. Our work crew, Nick and Ben, arrived promptly as scheduled and worked well into the night, cleaning out the entire crawl space, and installing eleven smart jacks, and 6 mil polyethylene. They finished up the next morning by adjusting and fine tuning the jacks to give us a much more level floor, and a much more stable foundation. They were followed by the Master Dry electricians, who quickly installed a dedicated circuit for the crawl space dehumidifier."
