We began to have a lot of dampness in our crawlspace and notice that the adjacent wall was wet. Jim came out, and explained the problem and what was needed while here. He promptly sent a written estimate. The entire crew was polite, professional, hardworking and were available to answer my (many) questions about the work as it progressed. All of the work they did looked very professionally done. It was a pretty involved process that included french drains under the house and along the outside ba
Jim is very clearly a man of integrity who cares for his clients. His solutions are not excessive or oversold, they are what needs to be done. 5/5 work with Jim.
Jim was super easy to work with and schedule a first consultation! His blog had so much information to help us understand what we were interested in. Then when he came for the consult, he was very honest and helpful, walking us through why our idea wasn't worth the cost. He's honest and trustworthy and we're sorry we won't get to work with him, but so thankful for his professional advice! He even helped us identify a different issue we need to address. Thanks Jim!
Jim was super easy to speak with and even though he does not service my area, he still provided guidance and recommendations for my concern. Thanks Jim!!
Jim came out for a free drainage estimate. He identified a very simple fix that would likely solve my problem (which he walked me through completing myself), and we talked through some other possibilities should that solution not solve the whole issue. He promptly sent over estimates for the other scenarios we talked through. I will definitely work with them again if we need more work done!
Jim is fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable and does great work.
I asked Jim to look at our foundation because we'd gotten two bids from other companies that ranged wildly from $15K to $80K, and his reviews made him sound like someone you could trust to give you an honest third opinion. Was he ever! He took the time to inspect everything under the house and then gave me a detailed rundown of all the reasons why it would be a bad idea to spend $$$ jacking up our foundation to fix what turned out to be a cosmetic hairline crack. He then took the time to talk me
Jim is a REALLY great guy!
He was so helpful...even after he realized that my job was too small for his company, he still stayed and provided me some great input on how to course-correct a drainage problem created by a less-skilled contractor. I even tried to develop an associated drainage project to hire him!!! I really wish I could have hired him - drainage and foundations are his expertise and he is really skilled at explaining the issues to homeowners.
