Hi, Shannon Martin came by to check a crack in my basement, and he was amazing to work with. He was friendly, honest, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. He walked me through the problem and gave me clear options on how to fix it. I really appreciate how patient and helpful he was. Highly recommend him!

Codi Martin was very personable, knowledgeable, professional and patient with me. He gave good information, answered questions and educated me on the process/materials. This house is 114 yrs old & needs proper work done. Too many have come in and done sloppy get by work through the yrs my grandma bought it 1974. Codi gave me names & #'s of others that can help with other issues. This was more than I expected, very grateful. I would adopt Codi, he reminds me of my eldest son that passed. Casandra Wichita KS

JES recently completed work for us, and I would like to commend the crew—Jaime Castillo, Edras Aguilera, and Joel Larias—for the quality, speed, and value of their work. Their efficiency and professionalism were evident throughout the project. Jaime, in particular, was quick to anticipate potential issues and to facilitate timely, effective solutions.

My experience with JES for the most part was great! Mr. John Trak was my initial inspector who confirmed my fears, but showed me the best way to fix the problem. There were a few scheduling conflicts but once my crew showed up they completed my project in two days. Thank you Dustin my site lead, once he took control he showed up, and performed. Jordan, and Lewis were the other crew members they worked efficiently and smart. JES Foundation and Repair gave me peace of mind, a secured foundation, and added value to my home.

We had our basement walls repaired and a water management system installed in our home over 16 years ago and it is still as good as the day JES installed it. Jay Hyman was our sales rep back then and still works at JES, now as a professional inspector. For the first time in 16 years, I recently reached out to JES to get copies of our old paperwork and Jay and the receptionist at the Manassas office were very friendly and super helpful. They went out of their way to get me what I needed. JES is a rare find, a company that’s stands behind their work – 16 years and counting.

Met with Scott regarding structural issues with our driveway. He was very professional and shared great information about the company and the process. The best part of getting his quote was his personality and genuine friendliness. I hope the company realizes what a gem they have in this estimator. I have dealt with many in the past and I felt very comfortable with his presentation
