recently hired JES Foundation Repair for basement waterproofing and foundation stabilization, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. They provided a detailed plan that included a full perimeter drainage system, sump pump installation, and wall protection to prevent moisture issues. What stood out most was their transparency—clear pricing, transferable warranties, and compliance with all local regulations. The crew worked efficiently and left the area clean, and the quality of workmanship was top-notch. It’s clear they take pride in doing things the right way. If you’re looking for a reliable contractor for foundation or waterproofing work, JES Foundation Repair is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! Thank you Brandon Warren, Tyler Holthaus, Larry White and the whole team for job well done

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.

I have had a great experience with JES! It started with my annual inspection with Joey Guth who did the inspection and he found a couple of issues! He showed me pictures and explained the solutions! He also presented me with an estimate for the repairs! Once I accepted the estimate! It was only a couple of weeks before JES could get the permits and a crew ready to. One do the work. The crew was Luis and Jose! They showed up on time and were very courteous and respectful to my concerns. Luis showed me pictures of the work and was able to explain exactly what they had done to stabilize the foundation of my house! They left my yard clean! I am very pleased with JES and the employees that I interacted with!

I've now had JES complete two projects in my exposed crawlspace. Both times, they have added adjustable jacks on top of footers and either replaced a main beam or added a supplemental metal I Beam. I've been extremely impressed with their quality of work, timeliness, and efficiency. They show up ready to work and are sure to ask questions if needed. I spent time with both crews down in the crawl space and appreciated their professionalism and willingness to make things right.Foreman: Jaime CastilloAntonio CanalesJose Rafael GarciaThe only thing I was not pleased with was how little the office side of things kept in touch with me prior to pinning down this second date. I was told on multiple occasions I'd be receiving an update from the office and each time I had to call them. Again, overall I am very happy, hats off to the site workers and everyone I spoke to the in the office was very pleasant, I just wish they had provided more updates without being prompted. Would do business with again in the future.

JES just wrapped up our foundation work – a 3 day project – during the coldest days of the year! The crew was friendly, communicative, and as far as I can see they did a professional job and left the workplace tidy. Time will tell if the job was effective, but so far, so good! Many thanks to the whole crew – Osman Ochoa, Alejandro Vazquez, Cristian Castro, and the supervisor, Rudi Gonzalez!

The team I had working for the past 3 days were wonderful not only they kept all things organized but promptly got to work sending notifications on time of arrival. Kept me updated on anything they were doing and maintaining communication open all the time. Must say that they were professional, polite and I felt I was in good hands throughout the process. This goes to my team, Mr. Charles Hartz, Thomas Jackson and Stephen Toy. Great Job will definitely be promoting your exceptional work! LR

John Trak was professional and informative. He was able to give us peace of mind and tell us our concerns were not structural issues. We will be calling them (and him) should that change in the future.
