Joe came by and did the free inspection. He was extremely thorough and sat down with me to go over every aspect of the inspection so I knew what to expect as well as allowing him to know my expectations/concerns. He provided and explained what he found as well as provided me with my options. Great customer service.

Thank heaven for JES! Not only did they discover our sump pump had stopped working long ago, but they also recognized the work needed would be beyond just swapping out a pump. The intake lines had clogged and the tank was filled to the brim with unspeakable creepy black gunk. Other companies estimates didn’t include full removal of the crud or clearing intake/outflow lines. Then Ben, the installer arrived. He was 120% professional, respectful, eager, and friendly…even when he found a dead frog floating on the surface of the goop! You can tell that Ben really loves his work. It was joyful to witness his tenacity in getting that tank completely clean even though it took twice as long as was probably expected. And then near the end of the job, when verifying the lines were clear, another frog appeared. This time the frog was alive. Undaunted, Ben rescued and removed it. Throughout the process Ben inspired confidence in the quality and thoroughness of the work to be performed. I would recommend JES from beginning of the estimate process, scheduling communications, through job complete.

Pat was a true professional from the moment he arrived. Gave a quick diagnosis of what would need to be done and after a few signatures was off to the races. He was very efficient and completely my task in about 30 mins. He was very polite and helpful ensuring any and all of my questions were answered. Highly recommend this company.

Jake, Austin, Maxwell, and Michael were here on July 8 to do work on my crawl space. They made sure I knew what was going on and did the work so they were done earlier than I thought they would be. Jake even helped me remove a large tree limb from my roof. FSM also put in my gutter a few years ago so I have received two good jobs from this company.

I recently had Celeste Curlee from JES out to my home in Frederick County, MD for an inspection related to a foundation and concrete repair project, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Celeste was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough from start to finish. She took the time to carefully survey the property, explain what she was seeing, and walk me through the underlying issues in a way that was clear and easy to understand—no jargon, no pressure, just honest expertise. What stood out most was her attention to detail and her willingness to answer every question I had. She made sure I fully understood both the condition of my foundation and the recommended solutions, including why they mattered long-term. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical knowledge with such strong communication skills. If you’re in the Frederick County area and need an evaluation for foundation or concrete work, I highly recommend asking for Celeste. She made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.

We just had a service call from Andre Williams with JES and he was fantastic. Came out on a Saturday morning and checked our three sump pumps. He was professional, thorough and courteous. Great personality as well. Glad he’s part of the JES team.

The team who fixed our support beams/foundation was wonderful. I can't say enough good things about Freddy ********* Walter ********* and Jaime ***** who did the repairs: they were friendly, timely, and did wonderful work. Also, the permit team at JES really helped us when we still hadn't received word from the city and it had been 6 weeks (and my husband and I had been sleeping on the couch and floor because the support beams were so bad under our room). Thank you to the entire team!
