This is for the workers. They were polite, very helpful and they worked so hard getting my house jacked up and secured all with me living in it. They helped to move stuff around for me, so they could take up floors. I can’t say enough good things about Walter Z. Yzquierdo, Freddy Zavaleta, Walter Zavaleta and the rest of their crew.

The crew (Osman Oohoq, Abner Gonzalez, Maynor Rubio, Alexandro Vazquez and Cristopher Gonsalez) that worked at my Alps Drive address did an excellent job. They were very polite and respectful. I received an update at the end of each day from the crew leader. They finished ahead of time and everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend JES.

Very knowledgeable, no pressure to get the job. Pricing was fair. Bryce explained exactly what you needed to get the job done. Very detailed and would highly recommend.

Alan and Aldo did an outstanding job with my crawlspace encapsulation installation. From start to finish, they were friendly, polite, professional, and extremely hardworking. Their attention to detail and quality of work truly exceeded expectations. The job site was kept clean throughout the entire process, and all debris was completely removed before they left. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. Very pleased with the entire experience and would highly recommend Alan and Aldo to anyone needing crawlspace work completed. Five-star service all around!

The waterproofing system the JES guys (Antwan, Brandon and Shawn) installed for us is A#1. The guys worked their butts off and kept me up to date on what was going on with the project. From the beginning of the project, Celeste explained the entire sequence of events during the sales stage and kept in touch as the job went along from leveling the cement patio and sidewalk, removing the cement flooring, installing stones, tracking and sump pump discharge line. Excellent job everyone.

To start, Our Sales representative Blaine Harvey was very professional. Did a complete inspection of the property. Made a few recommendations but really focused and addressed our concern/problem areas. This is greatly appreciated.Roberto and Jose Martinez, the installation crew were very polite and professional as well. Addressed all concerns and answered every question showing their expertise in the field. They were very clean throughout the installation. Under the house was left better than before. We had plastic underneath but needed to be removed in order for them to work. Did not expect them to re-line the ground upon completion but they used heavy duty plastic as a replacement. This is greatly appreciated. It is always the little things that make the difference in projects to homeowners. I would like to also mention Jo in the Richmond area office. Was very helpful in getting the information on the account up to date and taking the payment over the phone. Very well spoken and appreciate the small chit chat. She was a tremendous asset. We will need future work (Cleanspace) and would like to work with JES again.Thank youAndrea

Chad Woodhouse came to do an annual inspection under my house today. He was great. He checked, tested and serviced all of the equipment (3 sump pumps, 2 dehumidifiers and several jacks). He was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I recommend Chad and JES highly.

My house underwent foundation repair. Everyone in the process was professional. I want to especially acknowledge the team who performed most of the work on a daily basis: Jose Lopez, Daniel Yacila, and Jesus Baires. These three gentlemen knew the work. They communicated the scope and promptly alerted me to issues. They left the work area in a clean and organized condition. Moises did a good job managing the crew. Grateful to work with these men.

Bradley was on time and very friendly. Even after we determined that the service I was looking for isn’t a service JES provides and I felt like I had wasted his time he remained professional and pleasant and assured me it was no trouble and he was happy to take a look around while he was here to see if there were any concerns that he could inform me about.Although I won’t be using this company for this project, I am pleased with experience and will definitely consider JES for future needs if they arise.(the service I was wanting: to have an egress window cut into the basement foundation)Update 12/7/22 – Bradley just called me and informed me that he found someone who may be able to help with the egress window. He definitely went above and beyond!

Ray did an amazing job! He was professional and courteous. He was knowledgeable about the work. (On a side note, I think he said he had been a plumber for 20 years.) He was actually able to come a little earlier than scheduled, which was great because I thought I might have to reschedule my dryer replacement appointment. The work was done quickly, and we are happy customers!
