We needed to have other work completed before moving onto the retaining wall so I asked if we could reach back out at the time and they said that was fine. As soon as I followed up they were able to come out within the week and finished that day. Very easy to work with and straightforward. Will contact them again for future work.

I really wanted to have a positive experience with Prestige Concrete Edging, but unfortunately,…read moretheir business practices have been incredibly disappointing and, in my opinion, deceitful. To give you an idea of the situation: imagine budgeting $16k for a project. You meet with them, they walk the site, review the plans, and enthusiastically agree to the price to "earn your business." However, two weeks after signing the contract and handing over a deposit, they suddenly claimed the project would now cost $29K. My key Issues: Bait-and-Switch Pricing: The final quote was more than double the original agreed-upon price with vague and VERY inconsistent reasoning. Vanishing Deposit: When I chose to cancel due to the massive price hike, they claimed my entire deposit had already been "used up" on excavation. Lack of Integrity: They committed to a budget just to get the signature, only to move the goalposts immediately after. We are currently pursuing legal action to address these practices. This company is simply not worth the stress or the financial risk. I met many reputable masonry and concrete companies during my bidding phase--I strongly suggest you look elsewhere, you've been warned.

This is an excellent company that combines first class construction craftsmanship with astute…read moredesign capabilities. They are a small company but have been growing very quickly over the last several years. I know this because I first contacted them about some landscaping concepts three years ago. At the time I think the company was scarcely more than a father and son operation. I didn't follow through with that effort but recently called upon them for another different job. They have grown significantly, I am sure from word-of-mouth, and now have multiple logo-wrapped trucks. I've been gut-renovating, almost exclusively DIY, a 100+ year old house. The front porch was brick stairs but they were in bad shape and had uncomfortable tread and riser dimensions. The young man Abraham from Rosete Hardscapes had some excellent ideas about how to retain the existing base but enhance the design with additional concrete, brick, and limestone. As I said, I use very few contractors, preferring DIY, but this was a project I knew was beyond me. They did an absolutely fantastic job. Very skilled craftsman. They definitely don't work for free but the value is 100% there. I am very glad I went with these guys, they are top of the line.

We had a $27k contract for JES to stabilize the foundation of our garage in Charlottesville and to…read moreaddress water that would seep into the basement during heavy rain events. The main work was done very well and professionally. The contract, however, also called for drilling a long hole into the end of a wall through multiple cinderblocks to drain the water intrusion that was getting specifically into the basement's stairwell wall. There was no other access point to the bottom cinderblocks of the stairway wall. It was a clever solution written into the contract, and the provision specifically stated that JES would bring a 36-48-inch masonry drill bit in order to drill a hole long enough to accomplish the goal. After the team completed the main work, we pointed out the need to finish the job by drilling this hole, but they did not have such a long bit with them. We then reached out many, many times over many months to get this hole drilled. Most often we were met with silence, but when we ultimately have gotten a response, the person would say, "Sorry, we will get that done." Twice, JES workers have actually shown up -- but without a long drill bit. They would then look at the situation and understand why the long drill bit was needed, say they would arrange for it to happen, and then radio silence. After we posted a longer version of the story as a review, apparently higher-up JES management people got involved and pretty quickly sent someone out with the right drill and bit to finish the contracted work. Presumably, some HR training has happened also and given that the job is now complete with the vast majority of it having been done well and in a timely manner -- I've now upwardly revised my rating.

BUYER BEWARE!! Misleading Sales Recommendations, Poor Communication, and No Follow-Up…read moreOn April 29, 2026, a JES representative named Zeke conducted our annual inspection of the encapsulation system that JES originally installed. During the inspection, he stated that our dehumidifier was "showing signs of failure" and strongly recommended replacing it. He initially quoted $4,125 for the replacement but quickly reduced the price to $3,500. When we asked what diagnostic data supported his recommendation and whether the unit could be repaired instead, we received no satisfactory answers. I contacted the dehumidifier manufacturer directly and learned that JES technicians should contact the manufacturer's technical support to diagnose error codes and troubleshoot the equipment. According to the manufacturer, no one from JES had contacted them regarding our unit. To verify the recommendation, we hired two independent crawlspace environmental companies to inspect the system. Both companies confirmed that the dehumidifier was operating properly and did not need replacement. Based on these independent inspections, we believe the recommended replacement was unnecessary and would have cost us $3,500 for equipment that did not need to be replaced. Concerned by these findings, I requested that a manager inspect the crawlspace and address our concerns. On May 15, 2026, JES manager JB Samuel visited our home and confirmed that the dehumidifier was working properly, validating that the original replacement recommendation was unnecessary. While he corrected one critical drain concern and added a bolt to the crawlspace door, he also identified additional concerns that had not been noted during the original inspection. It has now been 8 weeks since our original inspection and 6 weeks since the manager's visit, yet we have received NO FOLLOW UP regarding those issues. On June 11, 2026, I sent a certified letter to Dree Gooding, General Manager of the Ashland, VA location, detailing our concerns and requesting a written plan of action. JES has not responded to the letter or provided any resolution. Our experience has been extremely disappointing. We were given a costly replacement recommendation that multiple independent inspections determined was unnecessary. Even after a manager confirmed our dehumidifier was functioning properly, JES failed to communicate, follow through on the remaining issues, or respond to our certified correspondence. BUYER BEWARE!! Before approving expensive repairs or equipment replacements, make sure you get a independent second opinion. Based on our experience, JES did not stand behind its recommendations or provide the level of customer service and follow-up we expected.
