JES is just fantastic! I experienced water coming through my basement walls after two bad rainstorms last September; JES sales representative Adam Crall came later that month to generate a thorough estimate for waterproofing. JES was able to schedule the work for the three days before Thanksgiving. Foreman John Rector and crew members Darrin and Paibai were OUTSTANDING! They were very accommodating and understanding, patient with me who was very apprehensive about jackhammers in the basement (and about the dust potential!). They cleaned up thoroughly! Worth the expense! I recommend them without hesitation!

Mike B. And Troy G. Did an excellent job installing some underground piping to help with drainage away from our house and foundation. They were quick, efficient, and when done they returned the yard to the condition it was in before. You could barely tell they had dug up the yard!

Abdul was very responsive and professional from the start. He arrived on time, walked me through the entire process, and made sure I understood everything clearly. I never felt pressured into making a purchase — instead, I felt like he genuinely cared about my concerns and wanted to provide the best solution for my situation. He took his time answering all of my questions and explaining each recommendation thoroughly. I was initially skeptical about one of the suggested services, but after speaking with him and hearing his knowledge and expertise, I’m confident moving forward. I’m sure the rest of the team is great as well, but I’ll definitely be recommending Abdul to anyone I know.

Although the initial visit was for a garage floor, I learned about basement solutions for a home we plan to build in 2027. Thank you Mike Schmid for taking the time to explain preventative, smart, basement waterproofing options. Sounds like an amazing product to protect our investment. We will be in touch

I found myself in the unfortunate situation to have a wall in my basement stabilized as it was gradually falling in. I had many options but chose JES Foundation Repair. What a fantastic choice! I received a phone call and a text message from the job foreman Joel Grade about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to arrive to start the work. Joel and his crew, to include Bryen Hailey and Karon Sherman arrived and were extremely professional from the jump. They explained the scope of the work, and made a conscious choice to minimize any impact to the rest of the house as they completed the job. The job took two days to complete and the guys walked me thru what was completed on each day, and were sure to make sure I had no concerns. I’m more than impressed with their work, and their customer service. I’d highly recommend JES for your foundation service needs. Doug Menapace Baldwin Maryland

Everyone that was involved with my foundation repair work that was provided by JES was very courteous, respectful, and kept me informed as to what was being done on a daily basis while the work was being done. Thank you Derek Kennedy for being so patient with me and making sure that all my financing was in order. Thank you Tony, Julius & Lloyd for all the hard work you did with my foundation, a lot of long hours. Gail Portsmouth, VA

My experience was great. JB worked with us up front to get all of the preliminary things in place and help us understand what needed to be done, how it was going to be done, and was always accessible when I had questions. When the job got started there were two unexpected situations. They pivoted quickly, included me in the decision that needed to be made, and worked it from there. Jose led the work and was amazing. He was extremely helpful, took time to walk me through what was going to be done, answer my questions, and keep me informed along the way. Add to that his great attitude and it was a good experience all around.
