The work performed was solid. I'm still not sure I needed the sump, but that piece is on me. My reason for the 3 star rating is due to the following issues: 1. The job took twice as long as what was quoted, 2. A few bricks were damaged during the pipe installation (one on the retaining wall), 3. I never received the warranty paperwork after requesting it twice, 4. One of my Dewalt tools disappeared and this is the only contractor who had access to my garage. Once again, this contractor does good work, and I felt this was a fair assessment. Update: I would like to thank Jim for returning my tool to me. It wasn't in the best of shape upon return and it was returned two months late, but I am glad to welcome back. Thanks again Jim!

We try to please our customers in everything we do. Sometimes jobs just take longer than originally thought., We do not rush a job to get out quicker. More times than not, a quick job means someone cut corners. We do good work and are willing to stay on a job until it is finished. I am hoping after all the rain we are now getting, Mr. Lester will see why he has a sump and pump. If there is not enough fall for water to flow freely out and away from a house, sumps and pumps are used to make that that happen.

Very easy to work with. Always available to communicate with. Gave information needed to made a decision on what needed to be done. Would recommend if you have foundation issues.

Jim has been such a dream to work with! I am a project manager and he is always on time, on budget, and he's great with my residents! My colleague and I want to clone him and send Jim Brooks clones all over the country! I cannot wait for our next project together!

Response from the owner

Thank you ! I need a clone, preferably a much younger clone. I have enjoyed working with you guys. You know what you want, when you need it and then you pay it. Can't ask for better than that !

Jim and his team have been able to help us on many different occasions. It is a comfort to find a company that will give honest evaluations and fair, up-front pricing on the work. Will definitely continue to spread the word.

We have had water issues in our basement for over 10 years. We tried one approach to mitigate the leakage, but after several years it failed. When our entire basement flooded this summer after a big rain, we knew we couldn't postpose addressing it any longer. We did our due diligence, and spoke with several Foundation companies. We didn't take this decision lightly and even consulted a structural engineer. Jim Brooks of Foundation Pro Services was one of the contractors who submitted a bid to us. From the first time we met him, we found Jim to be very personable, extremely knowledgeable and I felt very trustworthy. We took some time to decide what approach we needed, and kept coming back to Jim. I have a background in Geology and am very aware of all the issues involved. We were truly trying to find the best solution possible and Jim patiently worked through all our questions and concerns. One thing that stuck with me was when he said that ultimately your job is only as good as the people who install it. He told us that he has a reliable team that has worked for him for an extended period of time. We reviewed his approach to waterproof the interior of our basement and then together, we customized a solution for an exterior drainage issue. I have to say that I was very impressed with Jim's team that completed our solution. They were personable, polite, respectful and a genuine pleasure to work with. It was obvious they cared about the quality of their work and cheerfully addressed any concerns we presented to them. Our inside waterproofing was expertly installed and our outside customized solution, exceeded our expectations. Both installations showed a high level of experience. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Jim Brooks of Foundation Pro Services and his team to address your foundation issues. Of all the contractors we have had in our home through the years, he ranks at the very top for quality, cost and ease to work with.

Response from the owner

Wow ! Thank you very much ! When homeowners go to the extent you did to properly vet the companies they are considering just makes me want to work harder to improve our work processes and they way we interact with our customers. I think a lot of companies forget we work with people, we work on houses. The repairs we make are generally not gratifying in the sense that the customer is glad they have had the repairs, they are glad they don't have to worry any more. Thank you again for trusting us with your home. I hope you guys have a great Holiday and Christmas Season.

We used Foundation Pro Services for a long overdue encapsulation of a crawl space and basement. The owner, Jim Brooks, came out several times during the job. His crew was knowledgeable, prompt and worked extremely hard to give us a clean, safe space. The air quality has improved dramatically. I highly recommend Foundation Pro Services.

Response from the owner

Patricia was awesome to work for. Her home was perfect. Nice and cool for those 100 degree days. We really appreciate her for giving us the opportunity to install our waterproofing system and encapsulation.

I highly recommend Jim Brooks and Foundation Pro Services. I got several quotes for basement waterproofing/crawl space encapsulation and Jim was the most responsive. I was nervous about the potential investment needed to complete this job, but he fully explained the scope of work and was honest with what was needed. He also looked outside of my house and recommended landscaping solutions that would be beneficial. I had full confidence going into the project and his team was professional and performed quality work. Extremely pleased with the finished result and how Jim treated me as a client. His communication with me was constant and he had my best interest in mind. You will not regret giving him a call for any foundation needs you may have.

Response from the owner

Kimberly was the best ! Now her house will be dry for a long time. All I can say is thank you Kimberly for giving us the opportunity to work for you !

Everybody we worked with at Foundation Pro Services was top-notch. We especially were grateful for Jim and Garrett Brooks who were clear communicators and took extra time to explain exactly what needed to be done. Before starting our project we sought multiple bids and they were significantly lower than two and 5% lower than the other. The work they did was extremely high quality, and they cleaned up the area around the crawlspace they repaired to make it look better than it was before they started the work. I'd recommend these guys to anyone.

Response from the owner

We certainly appreciate the kind words. You guys were great to work with !
