"Very, very disappointing experience; Lux replaced the foundation of my 1850 log cabin. The design was bad, the communication was bad, the execution was bad. Throughout the entire process, they were making mistakes. I now need to pay another company to fix the mess they left behind. I would strongly suggest not using this company!"

"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."

Exterior Waterproofing Experts is a Class A General Contractor in the state of Virginia since 1997. Our service protects your home against wet basements, water leaks, flooding, water seepage, foundation leaking, and wall seepage. We have been doing subcontract grading and drainage work for many years. We have completed many waterproofing contracts for residents of Fairfax County, including: Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, and Vienna, Virginia (VA). We are now offering to work directly for clients, passing the savings on to the homeowners. It is our belief that water problems are best solved from the outside before water gets into your home.

"My basement had mold and evidence of water damage in July/August, and I was referred to Exterior Waterproofing Experts. The majority of the mold was on the side of my house, but the salesperson made a strong pitch about the need to waterproof the front of my home by digging up the garden down to the foundation. My wife was largely convinced, so we went ahead with the $8000 project. Six months later, the insulation behind the waterproofed front of the house is sopping wet. When the salesperson came back to my home to take a look, his explanation was that the water probably came up through the floor. His words were along the lines of "99% of the time the water comes up through the front." At this point, I feel like I have an expensive solution to a problem I didn't really have."

We are a Christian owned, residential builders and home improvement company. We believe serving you and your family is our first priority. There is no job to small or large for our our dedicated team. Message us today for a free estimate! We offer a design service with 3d realistic design renders for your projects to visualize the outcome. Ask us about our budget kitchen and bathroom. We can design your space based on your budget, while focusing on achieving your desired look. Financing and monthly payments available.

"Overall the quality of work turned out nice. However, the experience with DFC Home Improvement was not exceptional. The administration process was messy to say the least. This ranged from permits being disapproved due to submitting incorrect blueprints to the county and long winded conversations with the owner Brian. A word of advice is to screenshot and save all quotes DFC Home Improvements sends out, as I believe they are modified and update previous versions on their site. Ultimately, we were happy with the quality of work. The project was completed in six weeks, when expected to finish in five. The total cost was $45,950 when the quote was for $38,750 about 18.5% over estimate. I have other projects that I wanted to complete in the future, but I think I will find another contractor for those."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Completing structural engineering projects in Richmond provides immediate benefits like enhanced safety, improved load distribution, and compliance with local codes. Over time, these upgrades reduce the risk of structural failure, lower maintenance needs, and extend your building’s lifespan. Investing in proper reinforcement and foundation work also increases property value and supports the overall resilience and revitalization of Richmond neighborhoods.

Helpful?

Richmond offers a range of structural engineering specialists, including full-service firms for structural analysis and design, residential and commercial contractors, and foundation repair experts. You’ll also find steel fabricators, concrete contractors, and professionals skilled in seismic retrofitting for historic properties. Geotechnical engineers and materials testing labs often collaborate with these teams to address unique soil and load-bearing challenges in the area.

Helpful?

In Richmond, be cautious of quotes that are unusually low, lack detail on structural analysis or reinforcement methods, or require large upfront payments. Avoid contractors who refuse to provide written contracts, proof of insurance, or references. Skipping a site visit or showing limited knowledge of Richmond’s soil or historic building requirements are also warning signs that you may need to seek a more reliable structural engineering professional.

Helpful?

In Richmond, structural engineering projects benefit from reinforced concrete and structural steel for their strength and durability, especially in handling local humidity and temperature shifts. Southern Yellow Pine is a reliable choice for load-bearing walls and wood framing. Geosynthetics are recommended for soil stabilization, particularly with clay-heavy ground. Incorporating waterproofing membranes and proper reinforcement techniques helps protect foundations from groundwater and ensures long-term structural integrity.

Helpful?

When hiring structural engineering professionals in Richmond, prioritize those with proven experience in local building codes, load-bearing wall design, and soil conditions. Look for up-to-date structural analysis tools, clear project timelines, and transparent communication. Verify insurance coverage and ask for references from similar projects. Strong project management skills and familiarity with Richmond’s historic and modern construction standards are also essential for successful outcomes.
