    They were professional and on time. Did a great job with sealing an old basement. Would call them again.

    While the price did go up once the contractors arrived and did their own inspection (this was…read moreduring an active Portland flood period so leakage was far more noticeable than when sales person inspected), Avori and his team where wonderful! Avori was very proactive in addressing the severeness of our crawlspace leak. The Portland flooding and our non-functioning French drain made it really bad, allowing water to literally flood into our crawlspace! Avori and his team worked through the water and mud, installing new posts and beams, redirecting the water to a newly installed sump pump. The job took much longer than originally anticipated but was done well and our foundation is now much more stable. I really would have given five stars if the original quote caught everything but it wasn't flooding when the sales guy, John, came out so he didn't see the extent of our foundation issues. Avori was able to keep the increase to a minimum and we really appreciated all he did for us.

Less than 2 years later they came for an annual inspection and their sales rep told me due to visible mold, he urged me to get encapsulation for $26,000! I nearly had a heart attack! He didn't even offer a discount on the work they already did which would all have to be redone. But he sure pushed to finance it. Such a sham! I had an official inspector evaluate the condition and promptly told me there was no need at all, minimal mold and good air temp. Beware of this company's sales tactics and pressure. Unfortunately my warranty is through them so I'm stuck. But you can make a better informed decision!

    Service Performed: Location: 3,800sqft House on a…read moremulti-sloped/angled hill Installed 7 Pilings around foundation outer frame and approximately 30 adjustable posts in the crawl space to reinforce/reconnect the ground to the floor of the house. 6 pilings were installed from within the crawlspace 1 piling required access from the exterior Quality: Truly Outstanding Workmanship, professional, well-equipped, experienced workman. Work completed before estimated completion date. On the 1 outdoor area, there was a retention stone wall, along with some other items requiring extra work to get to where they needed. After the work was done, it was all put back together and meticulously cleaned - you cannot tell that any work was done there; absolutely perfect! It was not easy to do what they did at that particular location. Value: Even though foundation repair/work is a costly service/installation; you certainly get what you pay for with Ram Jack West. I received more value than what I paid. You see, their value started 4 years ago, in 2022. I had them come out, define and price the job and signed a contract and paid 1/2 upfront. Within a couple weeks after signing I became critically ill, in the ICU and Hospital for 2 months. As a result I lost my job among other things and have a permanent disability. I reached out to Ram Jack West and they, very graciously, supported me by refunding my money immediately - especially at my greatest time of need. This is well above and beyond exceptional for a business and that is a huge factor as to why I called them back, in 2026, after I had stabalized, and got some money together. They re-bid the job, I expanded what I wanted to have done and they accomodated my requests. They helped me work out financing and walked me through the processes very thoroughly. The result was a delight from start to finish and all of it ended up being done well ahead of schedule. Truly class act! Thank you so much!

Garrett C. performed a thorough inspection, explaining the process and sharing details with me the entire time. I feel informed and empowered by the knowledge I gained. I found Garrett to be knowledgeable, honest, direct and trustworthy. The inspection provided me peace of mind and that's truly priceless. The fact that Ram Jack offers inspection services at no charge is incredible. It's an unbeatable value from a top tier company. I will be contacting Ram Jack/Garrett C. again in the future for any/all foundation needs. Highly recommend, 10/10!

He did the job on schedule and on budget, supervising several subcontractors during the process. It took about 3 weeks and they made sure my house was kept clean as the work was done. The contracting was extremely professional - having worked with several other contractors on prior projects on my property, I can say Jim at Double J sets the bar very high for professionalism, and I wish the other contractors would attempt to reach that same bar. Before and After photos attached. I couldn't be happier with my new shower and floor.

Additionally, we were replacing all of our fresh water lines to and in the house. I would have given Jim and Double J ten stars had Yelp allowed me to do that! I have never had a better contracting experience than I had with Double J! Our plumber doing the repiping recommended Double J for the remodel work. Prior to the beginning of work, Jim gave us a spreadsheet detailing what would be done by who and when. Throughout the work, he communicated with us frequently advising us what was happening and what would be done next. He worked with us all the way through, helping us make the necessary decisions that we needed to make and purchase the things that we agreed to purchase. Jim works with a group of small, family owned subcontractors who have the same work ethic as Jim. They all were fantastic. The work was great, finished on time and in budget. I am already planning the next job I want him to do. I highly recommend Double J if you are looking for a great contractor. John Schmill
